Gold Price: Key levels to watch

The Technical Confluence Detector shows that the Gold Price needs to find acceptance above the critical intersection of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, Fibonacci 61.8% one-week and the previous high four-hour.

The next relevant upside target is seen at the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month at $1,963, above which the immediate barrier at $1,965 will be put to test. That level is the confluence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day and SMA200 four-hour.

Further up, the pivot point one-day R1 at $1,967 will guard the bearish interests, with the last line of defense for sellers seen at $1,874. That level is the meeting point of the previous week’s high and the pivot point one-week R1.

On the flip side, powerful support appears at $1,851, where the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, SMA50 four-hour and SMA5 one-day.

A breach of the latter will expose the previous day’s low of $1,847, below which the SMA200 one-day at $1,842 will be challenged.
