Gold Steadies Amid Oil Price Volatility Ahead of Crucial Payrolls Data
Gold (XAUUSD) is edging higher on Monday despite below-average trading volume. The price action is contained within Friday's wide range and a short-term retracement zone between $4072.40 and $4041.65.
A sustained move above $4072.40 could indicate the presence of buyers, potentially leading to a surge towards resistance levels at $4162.36, a swing top at $4166.13, or the 50-day moving average at $4174.70.
On the other hand, if the price falls below $4041.65, it could signal the presence of sellers, leading to further downside pressure and potentially testing support levels at $3996.06 and $3959.80 before reaching the main bottom at $3942.10.
