XAU/USD Price Analysis — August 24

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

Updated:
Gold (XAU/USD) continued in a depressed state through the trading session on Monday after it failed, once again, to hold on to its gains.

The yellow metal recorded a daily high of $1962, but was immediately met with strong bearish pressure and was sent down as far as $1927. At press time, gold is trading at $1928.

The dollar-denominated commodity fell as the US dollar index (DXY) erased most of its accrued losses, recording a 93.30 daily high. The equity markets were not left out of the gains as the Dow Jones (DJIA) gained about 1% and the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) grew by 0.45%. Also, US yields are trading higher today, extending further support for the greenback and causing the non-yielding commodity to slide.

Furthermore, the upcoming speech by Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole symposium continues to weigh on the directional clarity of the gold market in the meantime.

Gold (XAU) Value Forecast — August 24

XAU/USD Major Bias: Bearish

Supply Levels: $1939, $1960, and $1983

Demand Levels: $1923, $1900, and $1865

Gold failed to capitalize on a goodish bounce seen today in the middle of the European session. The XAU/USD rose to our $1960 resistance/pivot region but was swiftly hijacked by sellers who took it near the $1923 bearish trigger.

It would be nice to see how the price will react to the $1923 support—if it gets there in the near-term. Failure to bounce off that line could compel gold to continue on its bearish momentum down to the $1904 (our 41-day-old trendline) and subsequently to the $1900 psychological level. Further declines from that level could open gold up to August’s low ($1862) once again.
