Gold price dropped shockingly on the first day of the week!

Hi everybody! As I am writing these lines, XAUUSD has seen a significant price drop, down $35 in the early hours of Monday morning and is currently sitting at around $2356. The short-term outlook suggests further downside is likely.

Current chart analysis shows that gold is under downward pressure after overcoming two key support levels. This reflects the adjustment process after a week of strong price increases, when investors began to sell to take profits. If support at $2050 fails to hold, gold could continue to decline.

However, on the positive side, gold still has a chance to recover. It will soon face resistance at the Fibonacci retracement point between 0.5 and 0.618, which coincides with the intersection of the 34 and 89 EMA. Gold needs a strong push to overcome this resistance if it wants to continue. continue the upward trend in prices.

Regarding market forecasts, a recent survey of 14 Wall Street analysts showed a strong belief in the bullish prospects of gold: 72% of them predicted that gold prices will increase, 21% think prices will stabilize, and only 7% predict prices will decrease.
