Gold Price Forecast: XAUUSD eyes $1,906 as the next bearish target – Confluence Detector
|- Gold Price remains vulnerable amid hawkish Fed bets, firmer US dollar.
- Risk-aversion remains at full steam and boosts the USD at XAUUSD’s expense.
- Friday’s closing is critical for XAUUSD’s bullish traders after the decline.
The US dollar march northward appears unstoppable amid the hawkish Fed narrative, Beijing lockdown fears and global economic growth concerns on the whole. Gold Price, therefore, remains on slippery slopes amid a ‘sell everything’ mode playing out so far. The market’s perception of risk sentiment, the dollar and the yields’ price action will have a notable influence on XAUUSD, as the Fed policymakers step aside during the ‘blackout period’. The US Q1 Preliminary GDP will remain the key event risk this week.

Gold Price: Key levels to watch
The Technical Confluences Detector shows that Gold Price is gyrating near daily lows of $1,912, awaiting a fresh impetus to extend the downside momentum towards $1,910. That level is the pivot point one-day S2.
The next critical support is seen at $1,906, which is the confluence of the pivot point one-week S1 and the Bollinger Band one-day Lower.
Further down, the $1,900 round level could challenge the bullish attempts.
On the upside, strong resistance is placed around $1,920, where the pivot point one-day S1 and Bollinger Band four-hour Lower merge.
The previous day’s low of $1,927 will be next on the buyers’ radars.
XAUUSD bulls will then try to take out the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day at $1,934. The last line of defense for gold bears is pegged around $1,937, the convergence of the SMA50 one-day and Fibonacci 38.2% one-day.
