Gold Price Analysis: $1952 back in sight for XAU/USD bulls – Confluence Detector

Gold (XAU/USD) is on a steady rise on Friday, recovering ground after Fed Chair Powell’s adoption of the average inflation targeting strategy. The yellow metal benefits from broad-based US dollar weakness, as global markets cheer Fed’s lower rates for a longer period and down greenback’s haven demand.

The bounce, however, could remain elusive amid a rally in the US Treasury yields, as the inflation expectations hit a seven-year high. How is gold positioned technically?

Gold: Key resistances and supports

The tool shows that gold has regained the critical resistance now support at $1937, the convergence of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week and SMA5 one-day.

The next relevance barrier to the upside is seen at $1949, the intersection of the SMA200 on one-hour and SMA10 one-day.

Further north, the robust resistance at $1952 will come into play once again. That level is the confluence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day and Fibonacci 38.2% one-week.

Also, the buyers aim for $1957, which is the next hurdle.

Alternatively, below the aforementioned $1937 support, the $1932 cushion (Fibonacci 23.6% one-month) will slow down the declines.

The next downside target awaits at $1924, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day.
