Gold technical analysis: Flatlined below 21-day EMA

Gold seesaws near $1,491.
21-day EMA limits immediate upside amid bearish MACD.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

Despite its sustained trading below 21-day EMA, gold prices stay modestly changed around $1,491 during the early Asian session on Monday.

The yellow metal clings to 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of July-September upside with the bearish signal from 12-bar Moving Average Convergence and Divergence (MACD) and extended trading under 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) favoring sellers.

In doing so, a monthly trend line, at $1,483, acts as immediate key support ahead of 50% Fibonacci retracement level of $1,469.

It should, however, be noted that the quote’s further declines below $1,469 will be questioned by $1,455.50-$1,453 area including multiple lows since August 06 and 100-day EMA.

Meanwhile, a daily closing beyond a 21-day EMA level of $1,495.62 can trigger fresh run-up to six-week-old falling resistance line, at $1,509.

During the pair’s successful break above $1,509, late-September highs close to $1,535 will be the key to watch.

EUR/USD remains firm, targets 1.2000

EUR/USD carried over Monday’s momentum, pushing up toward the proximity of the key 1.2000 area, a level not seen since June 2021. The ongoing leg higher reflects continued selling pressure on the US Dollar, with the broader risk backdrop still supportive and investors once again zeroing in on tariff-related risks coming out of the White House.

GBP/USD loses some momentum ahead of1.3800

GBP/USD continues to grind higher on Tuesday, climbing toward the 1.3800 handle and setting fresh multi-month highs as broad-based US Dollar weakness remains the dominant theme prior to Wednesday’s FOMC event.

Gold picks up pace, hovers around $5,100 zone

Gold is holding onto a positive tone, reclaiming the area near $5,100 per troy ounce and maintaining its uptrend well in place for yet another day on Tuesday. The yellow metal continues to draw support from a soft US Dollar, as well as lingering uncertainty around trade policy and wider geopolitical risks, all preceding the Fed’s interest rate decision.
