17.05.202116:21 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Trading Signal for Gold XUA/USD, for May 17 - 18, 2021: Key level 1850

Consolidation and daily close above 1850 would indicate the bullish trend. Otherwise, there could be a technical correction for the next few days.

The fall in Treasury yields had boosted metals. But the 10-year bond yield is now recovering. It has rebounded after touching 1.60% and is at 1.63%, which could add pressure to Gold, and there could be a drop below 1850.

The technical reading of the eagle indicator shows that XAU/USD is reaching extreme overbought levels, and a bearish movement is likely in the next few hours as part of the technical correction.

Our recommendation is to sell below 1850, with targets at 1843 and 1825. In case of consolidation below 1843, the drop may be clearer.
