The next support is around $1736 and there is the Key Support Level at $1727. After the 20-day SMA crossed over the 50-day SMA that confirmed the overbought zone for gold to investors and this prompted them to start selling out of Gold. The sell-off has been slow as buyers have been holding the sell-off quite well. The MACD signals are also now taking a downward turn from the overbought zone and could cross below the signal orange line.
