XAU/USD four-hour chart

 
Bears seem to have taken over as the market is losing the 1600 support and the 200 SMA. A daily close below the 1600 mark could be seen as bearish with a potential decline towards the 1560 and 1520 levels in the medium term. Resistances are seen near the 1600, 1614 and 1636 levels on the way up.
