Gold price hangs near two-week low ahead of US CPI
The gold price has recently dropped below the psychological $2,000 mark, indicating a bearish trend after breaking the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the November-December rally at $2,012-2,010. Daily chart oscillators are losing positive momentum, supporting the possibility of further declines. The next potential support level is the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) around $1,965-1,963, followed by the crucial 200-day SMA near $1,951-1,950. A decisive break below the 200-day SMA could extend the recent pullback from the all-time high.
On the positive side, the $2,010-2,012 support now acts as an immediate hurdle, with resistance at $2,030 and the $2,040 supply zone. If a golden cross occurs, with the 50-day SMA rising above the 200-day SMA, it could favor bullish traders. In this scenario, a climb to the $2,071-2,072 region and a potential reclaim of the $2,100 level may follow.
