Last week, I discussed how XAUUSD (gold) tested the top of a long-standing descending channel.

In many ways, this pattern hinted at a bull flag starting from the 2018 lows.

That’s when XAUUSD started its parabolic move from $1,160 to $2,075.

With gold now firmly above the $1,850 area, it seems buyers are willing to push the envelope.

The next key resistance from here is $1,960.

That area rejected gold twice, once in November of last year and again this past January.

As for more immediate levels, a daily close above $1,870 should flip the area to support.

Keep an eye on $1,910 on the way up as well.

It’s the location of a gap from January and served as support in August and September of last year.

I’ll remain bullish on XAUUSD as long as the market remains above $1,830 on a daily closing basis.
