Gold struggles to capitalise on the overnight bounce from $1,893-$1,892, or its lowest level since mid-March, and oscillates in a narrow trading band during the Asian session on Friday. The XAU/USD is currently trading below $1,910, nearly unchanged for the day as traders keenly await the release of key inflation data from the United States before placing fresh directional bets.
From a technical perspective, the $1,900 round figure, followed by the overnight swing low around the $1,893-$1,892 region, now seems to act as immediate support levels. Some follow-through selling will reaffirm the negative outlook and make the Gold price vulnerable to extend the downward trajectory towards challenging the very important 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), currently pegged around the $1,840.
On the flip side, any positive move beyond the $1,913 area, or the overnight swing high, might now confront resistance near the $1,924-$1,925 region ahead of the $1,936 range. This is closely followed by the 100-day SMA, around the $1,942 zone. A sustained strength above might trigger a short-covering rally towards the $1,962-$1,964 hurdle en route to the $1,970-$1,972 supply zone. Some follow-through buying should allow Gold price to reclaim the $2,000 psychological mark and climb further towards the $2,010-$2,012 hurdle.
