XAU/USD daily charts review
Gold could continue its upward momentum, with further price discovery potentially pushing it above 3000.00, continuing bullish price discovery. This would indicate sustained bullish sentiment, driven by factors like market uncertainty and inflation concerns. If the 2900.00 level is broken, a move towards 2788.00 could be a plausible scenario.Daily Candle Chart
