Gold swing higher ends, 1,688 seen as target

#

The price of gold has dropped like a rock today and now it is trading at the 1,701 level. Unfortunately, XAU/USD failed to stay in the buyer's territory, so a deeper drop is in the cards.

Fundamentally, the RBA increased the Cash Rate from 1.85% to 2.35% matching expectations. Also, the BOC and the ECB are expected to hike rates during the week, that's why the yellow metal could approach and reach new lows. Moreover, the US ISM Services PMI came in at 56.9 versus the 55.4 points expected. USD's appreciation could send XAU/USD down.

XAU/USD Bearish Pattern Activated!

Technically, XAU/USD failed to stay above the weekly pivot point of 1,715 and above the uptrend line signaling that the leg higher ended and that the sellers could take the lead.

In the short term, the metal has tried to retest the broken uptrend line and the pivot point confirming the breakdown.

XAU/USD Forecast!

Breaking below the 1,707 static support signaled more declines. Actually, the breakdown was seen as a short opportunity. Gold is strongly bearish, so it could approach and reach fresh new lows. 1,688 stands as a potential target if the rate continues to drop.

GBPUSD up and down. Back down testing 61.8% and swing area.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
