GOLD Gold holds the previous day's correction off key short-term support while rounding up to 1958$ during Wednesday's Asian session. Precious metals show a sluggish market mood ahead of key US data/events as the GOLD bears run out of steam.
The metal thus appears to have limited upside, thus highlighting the convergence of the 21-DMA and the 50-DMA, around 1990$, as the key near-term resistance.
Accordingly, 2,000$ could act as an additional bullish filter before driving Gold prices towards April highs around 2,045$ and all-time highs near 2,070$.
On the other hand, the previous support line around 1,945$ and multi-day bullish support near 1,940$ limit Gold's short-term downtrend, a break of which will direct the bears towards the rounded figure of 1,905$.
