Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD relief rally needs acceptance above key $1,836 level – Confluence Detector

• Gold Price rebounds from three-month lows, as risk sentiment recovers.
• End of the week flows could add legs to the relief rally in XAU/USD.
• Recapturing the $1,836 level is critical for gold bulls after Thursday’s turmoil.

Gold Price is making a recovery attempt after the latest leg down to a new three-month low near $1,800. The market’s perception of risk sentiment and its impact on the US dollar valuations continue to play a key role, as global growth and inflation fears keep lurking. Hotter US inflation and expectations of aggressive Fed’s tightening renewed global economic slowdown concerns, as investors sought refuge in the ultimate safe-haven US dollar. Looking ahead, the end of the week flows and the dollar dynamics will continue to play a pivotal role in Gold Price action, as the turbulent week draws to an end.

Gold Price: Key levels to watch

The Technical Confluences Detector shows that the Gold Price is eyeing a test of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day at $1,830 on its road to recovery.

Recapturing that level will put minor resistance at $1,834 in XAU buyers’ sights.

Gold bulls need to find a strong foothold above the confluence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day and SMA200 one-day at $1,836 to affirm a meaningful recovery.

The next stop for bullish traders is seen at the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day at $1,843, above which the $1,847 hurdle will be challenged. At that point, the pivot point one-month S1 and pivot point one-day R1 meet.

On the downside, strong support is seen around $1,823, which is the convergence of the previous day’s low and the pivot point one-week S2.

A breach of the last will trigger a fresh downswing towards the intraday low of $1,810, below which the $1,808 cap will be the last line of defense for gold bulls. The latter is the pivot point one-day S1.
