At the end of the week, the Gold Spot price will close a weekly gain, recovering losses, which took the price to a weekly low of $1,900 and closing above $1,920.

Based on the daily chart, the XAU/USD exhibits a bullish outlook for the short term. Both the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) show signs of the buyers recovering and stan in positive territory, with the RSI jumping back above its midline and showing a northward slope. The MACD is also displaying green bars, indicating a strengthening bullish momentum.

Resistance levels: $1,930,$1,940, $1,950 (100-day SMA).
