XAU/USD — Gold
The price of gold dropped below $1800. On a weekly basis, Gold has been facing strong resistance near the $1830 area.

As the US dollar weakens, gold’s price is under pressure. Within the next week, it could consolidate in the same $1830 to $1770 range. Major support is near to 50 DMA around $1752. In terms of fundamentals, the market may be watching the upcoming US CPI and retail sales data, as well as the ECB president’s speech.
