Early in the European session, gold (XAU/USD) is trading around 1,781, bouncing after hitting the low at 1,773.67.

XAU/USD is trading below the uptrend channel and below the 21 SMA (1.795). The 4-hour chart shows further downside potential. The gold price is trading in the area of strong bearish pressure. If the price consolidates below of 1,790, it could reach the level of 200 EMA around 1,754.

Since its maximum reached at 1,824 on Tuesday, gold has lost more than $50, so this weekly drop could be a sign of a probable change in trend in the short term.

Gold is expected to continue its bounce in the next few hours and can reach the area of 1,790 - 1,795. Around this level, there will be a clear signal to sell with targets at 1,781-1,755.

In case the bearish pressure persists, XAU/USD is expected to trade below the 5/8 Murray located at 1,781 and may continue to decline in the coming days until it reaches the 4/8 Murray area around 1,750.

Our trading plan is to sell gold below 1,795, targeting 1,780 at 1,754. The eagle indicator is giving a negative signal which supports our bearish strategy.
