The Most Important Levels for XAU After The Vaccine Announcement

In this technical analysis I will go over all the most important horizontal zones for Gold and explain what you need to look at while the market is closing over the weekend.

After a lot of news about the elections, and then the Pfizer vaccine news, the price of gold has moved a lot and showed great volatility. This creates fantastic opportunities for traders, which is why I am looking at gold now at more depth. There are very nice trading possibilities here, so let me walk you through the most important horizontal zones right now so that you can construct your own set-ups as well.

Horizontal Support Level I
The support zone here at the bottom of the chart is at the beautiful level of $1,850. A level not just strong based on the confirmation of price reversal that we have witnessed here. It is also important based on the psychological importance of being at an exact round number.

I decided not to chart any additional support zone on the chart, as I consider the price of gold extremely low at the moment. After coming from an all-time-high we have seen a bearish movement. But after the massive dump on the 9th of November, I only see it going upwards from here.

Horizontal Resistance Level I
Given that I chart this idea based on the bullish scenario of a long position, I suggest looking at this area for a solid take profit level. I see two main options for taking profit, one is to leave the trade near the resistance line of the descending parallel channel, and the other is to hold until the first level of resistance.

Horizontal Resistance Level II
Horizontal Resistance Level II is a more aggressive place to hold gold to and take profit. When we look at the height of the price just before the massive dump on the 9th of November, we see another small peak that could turn into resistance too.

Therefore, instead of holding to say ~$1,980, instead I suggest holding until ~$1,960 instead.

Horizontal Resistance Level III
This level is so far off the current price of gold that I would not suggest to use it for any trade set-up. Especially since this is a high volatility period, so many things can happen soon. I would suggest to enter relatively shorter trades to make sure you are able to update the chart often to include the latest information.
