FxNews—In today’s gold technical analysis, the XAUUSD pair reached its October high and tested this resistance mark on November 23. The pair is currently trading within a bullish flag pattern. However, a bearish, long-wick candlestick pattern has emerged today. Concurrently, the Awesome Oscillator indicates a divergence on the XAUUSD 4-hour chart.
Gold Technical Analysis – The $2000 Ceiling Holds
If the bears manage to keep gold’s price below the $2,006 mark, it seems plausible that it might enter a correction phase towards the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
There are three compelling reasons supporting this bearish scenario:
- The $2,006 level has been a strong resistance, holding firm for over a month.
- The emergence of a bearish long-wick candlestick pattern.
- Divergence signaled by the Awesome Oscillator.
However, this bearish outlook would be invalidated if the gold price exceeded the $2,006 resistance level.
