Gold Price: Key levels to watch
The Technical Confluences Detector shows that gold price is looking to regain the upside moment to test powerful resistance at $1,940, which is the convergence of the pivot point one-day R1, pivot point one-week S1 and Bollinger Band one-day Middle.
The next bullish target is envisioned at $1,950, which is the psychological barrier as well as the SMA100 four-hour.
Further up, the pivot point one-day R2 at $1,952 will get tested, above which the SMA5 one-day at $1,955 will be on bulls’ radars.
The confluence of the previous week’s low and the previous year’s high around $1,960 is the level to beat for gold optimists.
Alternatively, the immediate support is seen at $1,931, the intersection of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month and the previous day’s high.
Fresh selling opportunities will arise below the latter, exposing critical support at $1,922, where the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day and SMA10 four-hour coincide.
The line in sand for gold buyers is the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day at $1,917.
