The price for gold has confirmed that the 1,812.00/1,814.35 zone is acting as resistance. On Tuesday morning, the commodity price bounced off the zone and started a decline, which was aiming at the 1,800.00 mark.

Economic Calendar Analysis

On Thursday, the ADP Non-farm Employment Change might impact the markets through the value of the US Dollar.

XAU/USD short-term forecast



If the price reaches below the 1,800.00 mark, the May and July low levels at 1,786.65 and 1,785.00 might once again act as support.

However, a bounce off from the 1,800.00 level is most likely going to result in another test of the 1,812.00/1,814.35 zone, before approaching the 200-hour simple moving average and the 1,820.00 level.
