Gold Price Analysis: Rapid recovery rams through tough resistance, levels – Confluence Detector

Gold has staged a remarkable recovery, rising some nearly $90 from the lows – yet after crashing around $200 from the all-time highs of $2,075. Higher US bond yields – coming ahead of massive debt issuance – have been attributed to the precious metal's downfall.

However, after XAU/USD entered overbought conditions, a fall was on the cards, even overdue. Sino-American tensions, a bond auction, speeches by Federal Reserve officials, and other events are rocking markets. Russia's vaccine announcement is also in play.

How is gold positioned on the technical charts? 

The Technical Confluences Indicator is showing that gold has overcome a strong convergence of lines at $1,931, turning resistance into support, and allowing for fresh gains. The noteworthy indicators meeting there including the Bollinger Band 15min-Middle, the Simple Moving Average 10-15m, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month, and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day. 

Looking up, some resistance awaits at around $1,950, which is the confluence of the previous 4h-high and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day. 

The next cap is at $1,955, which is where the Simple Moving Average 10-4h hits the price.

Below $1,931, the next support line is at $1,917, which is a juncture of lines including the Bollinger Band 1h-Middle and the SMA 5-4h.
