Gold Price News and Forecast: XAU/USD hits new 7.5-year high
Gold Price Analysis: Off intraday top, still on bulls’ radar above $1,750
Gold prices step back from the intraday top, also the highest since October 2012, up 1.06% on a day, while taking rounds to $1,760 amid the early Monday. Although pull back from the short-term ascending trend channel suggests the return of $1,748, the bullion’s further downside is likely to be capped by a two-week-old support line, at $1,740.
In a case where the bears sneak in around $1,740, the monthly support line, close to $1,706, will be the key to watch. Meanwhile, an upside break of the said channel’s resistance, at $1,768 now, might not hesitate to channel the year 2012 peak surrounding $1,795/96.
