Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD to retest December highs on Santa rally
Gold price recaptured the $1,800 threshold and finished Wednesday nearly multi-day tops of $1,805. In the view of FXStreet’s Dhwani Mehta, XAU/USD looks to retest December highs amid bullish technical setup.
Is the Santa rally shaping out for XAU/USD?
“Wednesday’s sharp gains have helped XAU/USD recapture all the major Daily Moving Averages (DMA), underpinning the bullish sentiment.”
“Gold bulls could retest the daily highs at $1,809, above which a fresh advance will kick in towards the December highs of $1,814. The next critical target for bulls is seen at the $1,820 round number.”
“The 50-DMA at $1,800 is the immediate line of defense for gold buyers, below which hopes are stacked up at the 200-DMA of $1,796. If the sellers remain in complete control, then the additional downside could open up towards the 100-DMA at $1,788, which will be the line in the sand for gold optimists.”
