Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD faces a wall of resistance near $1791 – Confluence Detector
|- Gold price stalls its three-day uptrend, as USD recovers ground broadly.
- Gold’s retreat remains capped by easing Treasury yields amid risk-off mood.
- Gold: Sellers defend $1,800, all eyes on US T-bond yields.
Gold price is consolidating the three-day winning streak, although the bulls appear to lack follow-through upside amid a rebound in the US dollar across the board. Mixing European earnings reports and China’s property sector woes are weighing on the investors’ sentiment, boding well for the safe-haven dollar while capping the upside in gold price. Going forward, the broader risk sentiment will continue to remain the market driver, impacting the USD valuations, in turn, gold’s.

Gold Price: Key levels to watch
The Technical Confluences Detector shows that gold is heading back towards the daily highs of $1789, where the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week aligns.
If that barrier is crossed on a sustained basis, then gold bulls will target the next crucial resistance at $1791, the confluence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month and pivot point one-day R1.
Further up, gold will face another critical resistance at $1795, the convergence of the pivot point one-week R1, SMA100 and 200 one-day.
The last line of defense for gold sellers is the intersection of the previous week’s high and pivot point one-day R2 at $1801.
On the flip side, a dense cluster of support levels awaits around $1780, where the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week meets with the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day.
The next cushion is placed at $1776, the confluence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day and SMA5 one-day.
$1769 will challenge the bullish commitment, as the SMA10 one-day, pivot point one-day S1 SMA200 four-hour and Fibonacci 61.8% one-week coincide at that level.
