Early in the European session, Gold (XAUUSD) is trading around 1,816.14 above the 6/8 Murray and within the downtrend channel formed on December 12.
Yesterday, during the European session and the American session, gold started a strong bullish movement after it had broken the pennant pattern. In view of the fact that this pattern has completed its goal, it is probable that there will be a technical correction in the next few hours and the metal could reach the support of 1,810.
In case the uptrend continues and the price breaks above 1,821, it could accelerate the bullish move towards daily R_1 around 1,830.
Conversely, in case XAU/USD continues trading below 1,821, we could expect a decline and the price may reach the 1,810 zone. A sharp break below this level could trigger a bearish signal and we could expect a fall towards the 200 EMA located at 1,792.
Our trading plan for the next few hours is to sell below 1,821 with targets at 1,810. If gold consolidates above the 21 SMA, we can expect a technical bounce to resume buying with targets at 1,821 and 1,830.
In case gold consolidates below 1,809, it will be a clear signal to sell with targets at 1,800 and 1,793 (200 EMA). The eagle indicator on the 1-hour chart is showing overbought levels, hence, an imminent correction could occur in the next few hours
