Analysis of technical prospects for XAUUSD
After a long period of accumulation, the gold price finally broke the accumulation triangle in yesterday's trading session, and it is worth noting that gold brought price activity back above the EMA21 level.

In the short term, gold is still technically limited by the upper edge of the price channel and this is also the closest current resistance, noted at 2,366 USD. In case the price channel is broken, gold is eligible to continue to increase even more with the highest level at the all-time peak of 2,430 USD.

Since the resistance at the upper channel edge is the most notable technical level currently, open short positions should be protected once this level is broken. On the other hand, if gold remains within the price channel, it is still likely to retest the $2,330 technical level in the short term.

During the day, gold price is still in the downtrend price channel and technical levels will be noticed again as follows.
Support: 2,330USD
Resistance: 2,366USD

The global dollar system works best when dollars are abundant, when US interest rates are low and other currencies are rising. Easy access to the dollar boosts economic activity around the world. Currently, we are in the opposite situation. The positive recovery of the US economy has forced the Fed to raise interest rates, pushing the dollar higher and putting a strain on dollar-based business around the world.
