The decline of the price of Gold found support in the combination of the 2,630.00 level and the 200-hour simple moving average. These levels were enough to cause a surge of the metal to the 2,670.00 level, where it encountered resistance. On Wednesday, the pair had declined to look for support in the moving averages.

Economic Calendar Analysis

The top event of the week is scheduled for Friday. At 12:30 GMT, the US monthly employment data sets will be published. The release consists of the Average Hourly Earnings change, the Non-Farm Employment Change and the Unemployment Rate.

XAU/USD short-term forecast

In the near term future, the price might look for support in the 2,640.00 level, before approaching the lower trend line of the channel pattern and the 200-hour simple moving average. If these levels fail, the pair could drop to the 2,613.50/2,617.50 range.

On the other hand, a resumption of the prior surge is expected to face the 2,650.00/2,655.00 zone. Above 2,655.00, note the combination of the 50 and 100-hour simple moving averages and the upper trend line of the channel down pattern.

Hourly Chart

XAU/USD daily charts review

On the daily candle chart, the metal found support in the 50 and 100-day simple moving averages, which have been the cause of the resumed surge of the price.

Most recently, after a long period of consolidation, the metal has broken out of the consolidation rate to the upside.

There is not much to add. Gold keeps heading higher, as the USD is loosing value due to rate cuts, and there are signs of risks to the global economy. Both aspects fuel the surge.
