Early in the American session, Gold (XAU/USD) is trading around 1,957.66, above 6/8 Murray and below the 21 SMA located at 1,973.76.

Yesterday, gold started a strong rebound from the 1,943.86 low towards the key level of 1,955. Above this area, there is the 200 EMA on the 1-hour chart which could offer a chance for gold to continue rising.

In case of a further rise, the instrument could break 1,973 (21 SMA) and consolidate above the 7/8 Murray around 1,968.

According to the 4-hour chart, we can see that gold has found strong support around 1,944. We can see that gold is trading within an uptrend channel formed since March 17. In case XAU/USD continues to trade above 1,937 (6/8 Murray) any technical correction could be seen as a buying opportunity.

On the other hand, if gold falls and consolidates below 1,937 (6/8 Murray), this could be seen as a clear signal to sell with targets at 1,906 (5/8 Murray) and 1,898 (200 EMA).

A technical bounce from 1,944 could give us an opportunity to resume buying with targets around 1,973. A sharp break above 1,975 could mean a bullish acceleration and gold could reach the psychological level of $2,000 (8/8 Murray).

The Eagle indicator has been giving oversold signals. In case there is a technical rebound and gold trades above 1,937-1,945, it will be considered an opportunity to buy.

Our trading plan for the next few hours is to buy gold at the current levels of 1,957 or if the price rebounds around 1,954, we could buy with targets at 1,968 (7/8 Murray) and 1,973 (21 SMA). Additionally, a break above 1,975 will be a signal to buy.
