XAU/USD Trapped Within A Range!
XAU/USD is trapped between 1,767 and 1,752 in the short term. A temporary retreat was natural and expected after its strong rally. The bias is bullish as long as the price stays above 1,752.
In the short term, the metal could move sideways and it could accumulate more bullish energy before trying to resume its upwards movement.
XAU/USD Forecast!
A valid breakout above 1,767 could activate an upside continuation. The buyers will have a new chance to go long from above this level.
