Gold Price Analysis: $1952 back in sight for XAU/USD bulls – Confluence Detector
|Gold (XAU/USD) is on a steady rise on Friday, recovering ground after Fed Chair Powell’s adoption of the average inflation targeting strategy. The yellow metal benefits from broad-based US dollar weakness, as global markets cheer Fed’s lower rates for a longer period and down greenback’s haven demand.
The bounce, however, could remain elusive amid a rally in the US Treasury yields, as the inflation expectations hit a seven-year high. How is gold positioned technically?
Gold: Key resistances and supports
The tool shows that gold has regained the critical resistance now support at $1937, the convergence of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week and SMA5 one-day.
The next relevance barrier to the upside is seen at $1949, the intersection of the SMA200 on one-hour and SMA10 one-day.
