XAU/USD short-term forecast

If the price for gold surges above the 1,935.00 level, the commodity price could encounter resistance at 1,940.00 and 1,950.00 levels. In the case that the 1,950.00 mark fails to keep the metal down, new high levels might be reached.

On the other hand, a decline of the price would look for support in the 1,916.70/1,921.65 zone, before declining to the 1,900.00 level and the support zone below it.
