Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD eyes acceptance above $1,760 to unleash additional recovery

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Gold is staging a recovery rally above the $1,750 level this Tuesday. As FXStreet’s Dhwani Mehta notes, XAU/USD recovery needs acceptance above $1,760.

Downside to remain cushioned so long as the $1,740 mark is defended

“Gold price has recaptured the 23.6% Fibo level and the rising trendline support-turned-resistance, now at $1,747 and $1,749 respectively. The next upside barrier is seen at the $1,760 round figure. Acceptance above the latter is critical to unleashing the additional recovery toward $1,770.”

“On the flip side, the downside will likely remain cushioned so long as the $1,740 mark is defended. The bullish 21-Daily Moving Average (DMA) at $1,728 will be next in play. The $1,722 strong support will be the level to beat for Gold bears. That level is the confluence of the 38.2% Fibo level and the November 23 low.”

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week.
