Gold Price Analysis: XAU/USD bears in control in Asia

  • Gold is meeting a wall of resistance at the start of the week.  
  • Bears eye a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and the confluence of old resistance.  

The price of gold is on the backfoot despite a weaker US dollar at the start of this week and the prospects are for a significant correction to the downside.  

Failures at resistance have so far proven to draw in additional bearish flows and speculative shorts.

The bulls are facing a wall of resistance and the price could be drawn to a restest of the prior support and a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement.
