Trading Signals for GOLD (XAU/USD) on February 1-3, 2024: sell below $2,053 (6/8 Muray - 200 EMA)

This image is no longer relevant

Early in the European session, Gold is trading around 2,046.54, above the 21 SMA, and within the uptrend channel forming since January 24.

Yesterday during the American session, gold reached the top of the bullish trend channel around 2,055. Having tried to break this channel without success, the metal made a strong technical correction.

In our previous analyzes, we had pointed out that gold was strongly overbought and that the key will always be better to sell.

Gold has strong resistance around 2,053. This level could serve as a barrier and prevent XAU/USD from a further rise. Should gold stop its rise around this area, it could be seen as an opportunity to sell below this level, with the target at the bottom of the uptrend channel around 2,035.

In case gold falls and sharply breaks the bullish trend channel and consolidates below the 200 EMA, we could expect it to reach and cover the GAP it left around 2,018.32. Then, we could expect a strong bearish acceleration to occur and Gold could reach the psychological level of $2,000.

On the contrary, if bullish strength prevails and gold breaks and consolidates above 2,053. This area represents the first daily resistance, we could expect it to face strong resistance around 6/8 Murray located at 2,062. This level could serve as an opportunity to sell since gold could once again be strongly overbought towards this point.

Given that the eagle indicator is giving an overbought signal, our strategy for the next few hours could be to sell around 2,053 or around 2,062 with targets at 2,031 and 2,018.
