XAUUSD - Watching that 1980 area closely
Been looking at $XAUUSD here and it's holding just above 1980 after that recent pullback. It's an interesting spot because we've seen it act as both resistance and support several times over the past few months. If it can maintain this level, then a retest of 2000 or even higher seems plausible, especially with the dollar showing some cracks.
However, if it fails to hold 1980 and starts closing below it consistently, say a daily close under 1975, then my bullish bias for the immediate term is off. That would open the door for a move down towards the 1950s, possibly even 1930. Just keeping an eye on the candles there, no predictions, just reacting to price action.
That's a really interesting point about 1980 acting as both resistance and support. How do you decide if it's going to hold as support this time around, or if it's more likely to break down?
