GOLD : Gold has not yet successfully tested support at $2,021
After testing the 2021 support zone, gold increased slightly and then returned to the 2021 zone again.
The 10-year US government bond yield has now increased above the psychological level of 4.0%, which has helped the US dollar increase sharply compared to most other currencies. This also caused a strong impact on XAU/USD as the gold price fell more than 1.25% in just one day.
In addition, the USD's upward momentum was also reinforced by the market's reassessment of the interest rate outlook after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said that policymakers will not rush to cut interest rates until there is a clear signs that inflation can be maintained at a low level. In addition, with the US economy still maintaining a good level, the Fed may not loosen monetary policy significantly this year.
Gold fell sharply on Tuesday, and is now approaching the 50-day SMA around $2,010. If buyers fail to hold this support, the bearish momentum will increase and bring the price back to the $1,990 threshold, and beyond to $1,975.
Conversely, if the buyers return and create a bullish reversal, the first resistance will be at the $2,045-2,050 zone. The price may have difficulty overcoming this resistance zone. However, if buyers succeed in overcoming resistance, it will open up the potential for a rally to the December peak at $2,085.
