Today's Scenario: - The price of gold is currently consolidating after experiencing intraday losses for the second day in a row, trading around $1,965. The struggle of the US dollar and Treasury bond yields to defend the gains made the previous day, along with mixed market sentiment during the European session, have contributed to this consolidation.

Buy Scenario: - Gold price has bounced back from the weekly support line and is currently trading within an eight-day-old symmetrical triangle. The sluggish Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has not affected the XAU/USD pair, which has managed to offset two consecutive weekly losses. The pair is now heading towards the convergence of the 100 and 200 Hour Moving Average (HMA) around $1,970. If the pair manages to break above this level, it could potentially reach the $1,985 hurdle, although the top line of the symmetrical triangle at around $1,996 and the psychological resistance level of $2,000 may pose a challenge for buyers. Till we did not advise to buy XAU/USD.

Selling Scenario: - On the downside, the immediate support line at around $1,958, followed by the triangle's bottom line at around $1,950, will limit the short-term downside. If the pair breaks below these levels, it could potentially drop to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the metal's March 15-20 upside at around $1,933. Overall, the Gold price remains directionless, despite the current recovery. We do not advise selling XAU/USD.

Support and Resistance Level: -
