Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD keeps March lows of $1,902 and the Fed in focus – Confluence Detector

Gold price remains vulnerable despite a brief pause in its three-day downtrend amid a sharp pullback in the US Treasury yields, which has dragged the dollar lower alongside. The price action in the dollar and yields is a pre-Fed repositioning by the market participants, as they brace for the critical interest rate decision due to be announced on Wednesday. On the geopolitical front, hopes for diplomacy between Russia and Ukraine are also adding to the greenback’s bearish reversal while sending commodities, including gold and oil prices, into a tailspin.

Gold Price: Key levels to watch

The Technical Confluences Detector shows that gold price is trimming losses, at the moment, which could turn out to be a good selling opportunity for traders who felt left out earlier this week.

The immediate support is envisioned at the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month at $1,930, below which the $1,942 area could be probed.

That demand zone is the confluence of the previous low four-hour and the pivot point one-day S2.

A sustained move below the latter will trigger a fresh downswing towards the March lows of $1,902.

On the other side, the recovery could find an initial upside hurdle around $1,936, which is the convergence of the pivot point one-week S1, pivot point one-day S1 and the Bollinger Band one-day Middle.

Acceptance above the latter is needed to retest the previous high four-hour at $1,942. Fresh buying opportunities could be created above the latter, opening doors towards the $1,955 – the intraday highs.

The next critical resistance level is seen at around $1,960, where the previous year’s high, the previous week’s low and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day coincide.
