US dollar index- Bearish. Minor support is around 102/100.80. The near-term resistance is 103.40/104.
Factors to watch for gold price action-
Global stock market- Bearish (bullish for gold)
US dollar index - Bearish (positive for gold)
US10-year bond yield- Bearish (positive for gold)
Technical:
The near–term support is around $2368, a break below the target of $2350/$$2340. The yellow metal faces minor resistance around $2400 and a breach above will take it to the next level of $2420/$2440/$2450/$2475/$2480.
It is good to buy on dips around $2365 with an SL of around $250 for a TP of $2440.
