XAU/USD continues to target $1804 and $1800 support levels

Gold is holding the lower ground, heading closer towards $1800, as traders remain cautious and refrain from placing any fresh directional bets ahead of the all-important US Nonfarm Payrolls data due this Friday. Gold remains under pressure, courtesy of positive US 10-year Treasury yields, amid a recovery in the risk appetite. However, modest weakness in the US dollar combined with persisting coronavirus concerns continue to lend support to bulls, leaving gold price range-bound.

The Technical Confluences Detector shows that gold is challenging critical support at $1809, which is the convergence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, Fibonacci 61.8% one-week and SMA10 one-day.

If the abovementioned support caves in, then gold sellers will look for a test of the next relevant downside target at $1804.

What are the Technical Confluences Detector?

HOW DOES IT WORK?

CONFLUENCE OF TECHNICAL LEVELS

This tool assigns a certain "weight" to each indicator according to its class and time range. This "weight" is propagated to adjacent price levels – even if those levels do not contain any indicator – to highlight the influence of the force of attraction generated by the presence of important indicators such as a simple moving average or a Pivot Point level in a daily range. The algorithm's logical structure intensifies the signal's strength in those areas where several indicators converge – so-called technical confluence zones.

HOW TO READ THE CHART?

The tool detects and draws the price levels where indicators are placed, highlighting those levels where several indicators converge simultaneously. The length of each bar indicates the intensity of the resistance or support levels generated by the technical indicators. We have also implemented a color gradient to intensify the bars' tonality where the Technical Confluences Detector finds more resistance to price advance. The white lines represent areas where no technical indicator is detected and where the price can move with ease.

TOOLTIP

You can see which indicators are within each price level by placing the cursor over the bar price level. The explanation uses a code that indicates:

Previous daily, weekly and monthly highs and lows.
Pivot Points
Moving averages
Bollinger bands
Fibonacci retracements

HOW TO USE IT?

With the FXS Technical Confluences Detector tool, you can quickly locate the areas where the price can find a support or resistance zone and make trading decisions. If you are a short-term trader, you will find entry points for counter-trend strategies and hunt a few points at a time. If you are a medium-to-long-term trader, this tool will allow you to know in advance the price levels where a medium-to-long-term trend may stop and rest, where to unwind positions, or where to increase your position size.
