Early in the American session, gold is trading around 1,923.65. We can see that XAU/USD broke through the 5/8 Murray zone and reached a high of 1,930.12. According to the 4-hour chart, we can see that gold is overbought and it is likely that there will be a technical correction in the next few hours.

In case gold reaches 6/8 Murray located at 1,937, this could be considered a key area to sell because this level represents a strong top and it is likely that we could see a technical correction only if the metal trades below this area.

Gold stopped its bullish path near the intraday resistance zone_3 located at 1,932. This level could offer strong resistance and we could expect a technical correction in the next few hours. In case the price tops out the high of 1,930, the next level that acts as resistance is located at 1,937. This could stop the rise of gold and we could expect a technical correction.

Our trading plan for the next few hours is to sell below 1,930 or the current price levels with targets at 1,915 and 1,890 (21 SMA). The eagle indicator is giving an extremely overbought signal which supports our bearish strategy.
