Gold Price: Key levels to watch
The Technical Confluences Detector shows that the gold price is likely to face a dense cluster of healthy support levels around $1,835, which is the convergence of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, pivot point one-week R1 and SMA5 four-hour.
If the downside pressure intensifies, then bears could challenge critical support at $1,831. The previous month’s high coincides with the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day at that point.
The next powerful support is seen around $1,821, which is the intersection of the SMA5 one-day, pivot point one-day S1 and Fibonacci 23.6% one-week.
Alternatively, immediate resistance aligns at the two-month highs of $1,844, above which the pivot point one-week R2 at $1,850.
The pivot point one-day R1 at $1,854 will be the next upside target for gold bulls.
