In addition, Xau/USD develops above all its mobile socks, with the simple mobile average (SMA) of 20 partially losing its upward force, but keeping well above the SMA of 100 and 200 bullish.

In the short term, and according to the 4 -hour graph, the price of gold has margin to relax even more. The pair is negotiated below its SMA of 20, which limits the advances around 3,406.90 $. Smas of 100 and 200 remain without direction below the current level, while technical indicators descend within negative levels. Even so, the risk aversion environment will probably prevent the pair from falling more.
