Gold prices are having a hard time gaining traction during the US session on Monday and extending the sideways period around the $1,850 level. Although the US Dollar remains under modest selling pressure, the rebound witnessed in the 10-year US Treasury bond yields capped the upside momentum of XAU/USD.
On Friday, Gold prices had a daily close above the bearish 21-Day Moving Average (DMA) at $1844. As a result, Gold bulls braced themselves early on Monday before changing course, following a 14-day decline in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Momentum indicators are now threatening the 50.00 level once again, which is likely to help prolong Gold's corrective downside. If that materializes, Gold prices could drop further to test resistance turning support at the 21 DMA. A clear downside break of the latter would call for a test of Friday's low of $1,835.
Alternatively, if buyers manage to fight back, Gold's rally could resume, boosting the slightly bullish 50 DMA resistance at $1,870. Ahead of that, the $1,858-$1,860 supply zone could be a tough one to overcome for Gold optimists.
