Gold (XAU/USD) is marginally higher today, registering a modest 0.02% increase to $2320.30. The metal is trading slightly above its pivot point of $2318.64, which suggests a delicate balance in market sentiment.
Immediate resistance is found at $2336.20, with further barriers at $2351.65 and $2369.37 that could cap upward movements. On the downside, gold has support at $2294.59, followed by $2277.60 and $2260.34, levels that could provide stability in case of a downturn.
The 50-Day and 200-Day Exponential Moving Averages, at $2313.87 and $2318.78 respectively, indicate a neutral to slightly bullish outlook. A sustained move above $2318 could strengthen bullish sentiments, while a drop below might trigger a sharper sell-off.
