Gold Price Analysis: XAU/USD recaptures critical level, eyes $1,804 – Confluence Detector

The sell-off in bonds has resumed and money is flowing back into stocks and also gold – as the precious metal maintains its new status as a risk asset rather than a safe-haven. Will this recovery continue? A lot depends on President Joe Biden's stimulus 

In the meantime, here is how XAU/USD is positioned on the charts.

The Technical Confluences Indicator is showing that gold has overcome critical support at around $1,776, which is the convergence of the Simple Moving Average 10-4h, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day and the Pivot Point one-month Support 1. 

Further down, the next cushion awaits at $1,756, which is where the Fibonacci 161.8% one-day, the Bollinger Band 4h-Lower, and the Pivot Point one-day Support 2 all meet up.

Looking up, some resistance awaits at $1,802, which is the confluence of the PP one-week S1 and then the previous monthly low. 

Beyond the horizon, the upside target is $1.826, which is a juncture including the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week and the SMA 100-4h.
