From a technical analysis perspective, gold appears to be heading towards a critical support level near $1,895, determined by the Fibonacci retracement level of 38.2% from the lowest point in September 2022 to the highest point in May 2023. Traders should carefully monitor this area as a break below could accelerate selling momentum, paving the way for a retest of $1,855.
If buyers return to the market and trigger a recovery, the initial resistance level will be around $1,925/$1,930. If this barrier is cleared, we could see the price rise to $1,970. Furthermore, the focus will then shift to the psychological level of $2,000.
