The 4-hours chart of XAU/USD indicates that the price traded below the $1,740 support, the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hours), and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours).

It even spiked below the $1,700 level and traded as low as $1,697. It is now consolidating losses near the $1,710 level. An immediate resistance is near the $1,725 level. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,725 on the same chart.

The next major resistance is near the $1,740 level, above which the price could rise towards the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours).

If there is no upside break, the price could continue to move down below $1,700. The next major support is near the $1,685 level, below which the price could accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price may perhaps decline towards the $1,650 level.
