Gold price is back in the red zone early Thursday. Dayli close above the key $1,919 level is needed to see a fresh leg higher, FXStreet’s Dhwani Mehta reports.

Immediate downside could be tested at the $1,900 threshold

“Daily closing above the $1,919 barrier will initiate a fresh uptrend toward the year-to-date highs of $1,960. The previous day’s high of $1,937 could challenge the bearish commitments, at first.”

“The immediate downside could be tested at the $1,900 threshold, below which Tuesday’s low at $1,895 could come into the picture. Further south, the previous day’s low at $1,886 will lend some support to Gold buyers. The last line of defense for them is seen at the mildly bullish 50-Daily Moving Average (DMA) at $1,877.”

“Gold price remains a ‘buy the dips’ trade amid looming banking sector risks across the globe.”
