Gold - Daily Price Chart (September 1 – November 1, 2020)

On October 21, the Gold rebounded from the slopping downward trendline originated from the September 1 high at 1,992 and closed below the 50-day SMA reflecting a weaker bullish sentiment. Therefore, the price slipped to the current $1,861- $1,921 trading zone.

A daily close below the low end of the trading zone at $1,861 could encourage bears to press towards the monthly support level at $1,796.

On the other hand, a daily close above the high end of the zone at $1,921 could send the price towards a test of the August 18 high at $2,015.

Gold- Four Hour Price Chart (October 7 – November 1, 2020)

On October 28, the Gold traded below the bullish trendline support indicating a shift in favor of bears control.

In conclusion, while the bearish bias is still in place a break above $1,897 may trigger a rally towards the high end of the current trading zone discussed above on the daily chart, while a break below $1,847 could send the price even lower towards $1,796. As such, the support and resistance levels underlined on the chart should be kept in focus.
