Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD keeps bullish bias intact to regain $1,900

Gold price retreats from above $1,900 on hopes for diplomacy. Still, XAU/USD remains a ‘buy the dip’ trade, FXStreet’s Dhwani Mehta reports.

Impending bull cross on the daily chart suggests ‘buy the dip’ trade 

“XAU/USD is off the multi-month high level at $1,903 but remains in its close proximity, with a buying resurgence likely to retest the same. Gold bulls will then look out for the June 1 high of $1,917. The next bullish target is envisioned at $1,950, the psychological barrier.”

“Adding credence to a potential move higher, the 100-Daily Moving Average (DMA) is on the verge of crossing the 200-DMA for the upside, which if materializes, will confirm a bull cross.”

“If the retracement picks up pace, then the round level of $1,890 will be put to test initially. The additional declines will call for a test of Tuesday’s high of $1,880, below which the $1,850 support area will be back on sellers’ radars.”

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
