Gold Price Forecast: XAUUSD bears keep sight on $1,807 ahead of Fed – Confluence Detector

Gold Price is seeing a dead cat bounce above $1,800, having hit the lowest level in four months earlier this Tuesday. Increasing bets of a 75 bps Fed rate hike this week keep the sentiment around the US dollar, as well as, the Treasury yields buoyed. The safe-haven buck also draws support from the blood bath on global stocks amid growing fears of higher rates leading to a US recession, which tripped Wall Street into a bear market. The non-yielding XAUUSD is unlikely to attract solid bids heading into Wednesday’s Fed showdown.

Gold Price: Key levels to watch

The Technical Confluence Detector shows that Gold Price is struggling to extend its recovery near the $1,826 hurdle, where the previous week’s low aligns.

Acceptance above the latter could initiate a fresh upswing towards the powerful resistance around $1,833, the confluence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month and Fibonacci 23.6% one-day.

The pivot point one-week S1 at $1,839 will challenge the bulls on the road to recovery. Further up, the convergence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day and SMA200 one-day at $1,841 will come into play.

The last line of defense for XAU sellers is pegged at $1,846, which is the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week.

On the flip side, the immediate support awaits at the $1,820 round figure, below which bears will look out for the strong support around $1,816, where the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month collides into the Bollinger Band one-day Lower.

The previous low four-hour at $1,810 will come to the rescue of gold buyers on selling resurgence.

The next and the final stop for bears is seen at $1,807, the pivot point one-week S2.
