Gold is squandering its gains, and negative pressure is in place 5/6/2023

Gold prices fell at the end of last week’s trading to give up their intraday gains as a result of the rise in the US dollar after the US jobs data, which came in better than expected, witnessed the lowest level at $1944 per ounce, after recording the highest at $1982.

Technically, gold prices begin to press on the pivotal support floor of 1945 located at the Fibonacci correction 50.0% as shown on the 4-hour chart, and we find continuous negative pressure from the simple moving averages that returned to pressure the price from above.

With the return of trading stability below the main resistance of the current trading levels, 1977 correction of 38.20%, that increases the possibility of resuming the bearish trend, and we are waiting to witness a clear and strong break of the 1945 support level, which facilitates the task required to visit 1932, the first target, knowing that the official target for the breach of 1945 is located around 1918 and 1913 correction. .

Rising again above 1977 nullifies the activation of the bearish scenario completely, and gold recovers, heading to re-test 1996 and 2000, respectively.

Note: Today we are awaiting high-impact economic data issued by the US economy, “Service PMI” and “European Central Governor Lagarde’s speech,” and we may witness high price fluctuations at the time of the news release.
