Test of the support at $1,900 looming?

In late May 2023, we expressed growing concerns about the short-term outlook for gold (on top of another warning preceding this one). Back then, we abstained from setting a price target but noted that $1,925 and $1,900 (and perhaps even $1,875) did not seem out of reach. Now, with $1,925 being taken out and gold dropping below $1,910, we believe there is still potential for gold to continue lower. This view is based on the fact that MACD, Stochastic, and RSI are all developing bearish structures on the daily time frame, and DM+ with DM- are in a bearish constellation. Furthermore, on the weekly time frame, MACD, Stochastic, and RSI also point to the downside. As a result, we expect gold to test support at $1,900 in the following days.

The picture above shows the daily chart of XAUUSD. Red arrows indicate the declining volume accompanying the declining price over the past few days. That is a positive sign for gold, suggesting that selling pressure is decreasing. Therefore, we will monitor this development in the next few days.
