Gold Price Forecast: Acceptance above $2,000 to open doors towards $2,022 – Confluence Detector

• Gold price rallies as the Russia-Ukraine crisis gets entrenched, triggers oil shock.
• Gold bulls are gearing up to regain the upside towards $2,020 and beyond.
• Gold price risks a correction before next upswing kicks in above $2,000.

A new week begins but nothing changes on the geopolitical front, as Russia’s resolve to invade Ukraine gets firmer while the US looks to isolate Russia completely by banning oil imports. As the Ukrainian crisis deepens, the market sentiment remains roiled, facing a double whammy from soaring oil prices. Investors take shelter in the traditional safe-haven gold, in the face of raging energy inflation and its impact on global economic growth. All eyes remain on geopolitics and oil prices for fresh trading opportunities in gold price.

Gold Price: Key levels to watch

The Technical Confluences Detector shows that gold price has recovered ground once again above $1,995 strong resistance, where the pivot point one-month R1, pivot point one-week R1 and the previous high four-hour.

The pivot point one-day R2 at $1,998 will guard the immediate upside, above which buyers will retest the multi-month highs at $2,001.

On buying resurgence, gold price could advance towards the Bollinger Band one-hour Upper at $2,007 before resuming storming towards $2,022.

That level is the confluence of the pivot point one-week R2 and pivot point one-day R3.

The next resistance is aligned at the pivot point one-day R3 at $1,964. Should buyers regain a strong foothold above the latter, then a rally for a retest of 13-month highs of $1,975 cannot be ruled out.

Gold bulls will then gear up for a fresh upswing to conquer the $2,000 mark.

On the flip side, fierce support is seen at $1,982, where the pivot point one-day R1 coincides with the SMA5 four-hour.

The previous month’s high of $1,975 will be tested once again if the correction picks up pace. The last line of defense for gold bulls is the daily lows of $1,972.
