Gold is mostly flat in volatile trading. U.S. dollar found itself under pressure as traders reacted to Non Farm Payrolls data but managed to rebound from session lows, which was bearish for gold.

From the technical point of view, gold is stuck in a range between the support at $2025 and the resistance at $2065.

A move above the resistance at $23.40 – $23.60 will open the way to the test of the next resistance at $25.00 – $25.30.
