Gold Price (XAU/USD) struggles to defend the corrective bounce off a three-month low marked in the last week, retreating from intraday top of late, amid mixed concerns about Russia and China. Also challenging the XAU/USD buyers is the cautious mood ahead of this week’s top-tier inflation signals from the US and Europe, as well as central bankers’ speeches at the European Central Bank (ECB) Forum and the US Banking Stress Test results.
That said, hopes of more China stimulus defend the Gold Price amid the US Dollar’s retreat as Russia’s short-lived mutiny portrays mildly positive sentiment in the market. However, the S&P’s downward revision of China’s growth forecasts and global fears that the Dragon Nation is off the track of recovery prod the XAU/USD bulls. Further, fears that Russia may take harsh steps to prove its geopolitical strength joins the downbeat concerns about “higher for longer” interest rates to challenge the Gold buyers. It should be noted that the comparatively upbeat US PMIs join the hawkish Fed signals to act as an extra upside filter for the XAU/USD price.
Moving on, mid-tier data may entertain the Gold traders but major attention will be given to inflation clues and geopolitical news for clear directions.

Our Technical Confluence Indicator signals a slow grind in the Gold Price towards the $1,951 key resistance comprising Pivot Point one-week R1, the middle band of the Bollinger on onda-day and Pivot Point one-day R2.
Ahead of that, a convergence of the 5-DMA, Fibonacci 23.6% on one-day and upper band of the Bollinger on the hourly chart will challenge the Gold buyers near $1,933.
It should be noted that the 10-DMA, Fibonacci 61.8% on one-week and 200-HMA, close to $1,943 by the press time, act as an extra upside filter ahead of highlighting the $1,951 hurdle.
Alternatively, Fibonacci 23.6% on one-week highlights $1,922 as immediate support for the Gold sellers to watch during the quote’s fresh fall.
Following that, the lower band of the Bollinger on the one-day, near $1,918, will precede the Pivot Point one-day S1, close to $1,908, to challenge the Gold bears.
Above all, the Gold sellers remain confused unless the quote stays beyond the $1,904 support encompassing the Pivot Point one-month S1.
