The price of gold is trading in the red at 1,980 at the time of writing and it seems undecided. As you already know from my previous analyses, XAU/USD signaled exhausted buyers, but a corrective phase still needs confirmation.

Fundamentally, the yellow metal is under downside pressure as the US Revised UoM Consumer Sentiment came in at 63.8 points above the 63.0 points expected. Furthermore, the Core PCE Price Index reported a 0.3% growth matching expectations, while Personal Spending rose by 0.7% exceeding the 0.5% growth forecasted.

Gold 1,976 Critical Support!

The rate tested and retested the 1,987 historical level and now it has dropped a little. Personally, I've drawn a descending pitchfork trying to catch a new swing lower.

Technically, the 1,976 immediate low represents a key downside obstacle. As long as it stays above it, the rate could resume its growth.

XAU/USD Outlook!

A bearish closure below 1,976 represents a bearish signal. This scenario activates more declines at least towards the median line (ml).
