US Dollar and US Treasury yields are suppressing gold!

DXY has entered a bullish consolidation. US Treasury bond yields remain at a 16-year high. In this environment, gold is some distance away from multi-month lows looking to build on the previous recovery. Benchmark 10-year US Treasury yields are trading at 4.85%, up 0.90% daily.

That’s why he’s staying away from making new bets amid the ongoing uptrend in U.S. Treasury yields. US ADP payrolls, which were announced as 177 thousand in August, are expected to be 153 thousand in September.

Gold price technical analysis

Market analyst Dhwani Mehta evaluates the technical outlook for gold as follows. From a short-term technical perspective, nothing seems to have changed for the gold price. For now, a correction from the seven-month low remains on the table. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator remains oversold. Thus, justifying the recent recovery of gold price. If gold makes a good comeback, it will challenge the initial support-resistance level at $1,850. The next upside barrier stands at $1,880, the September 28th and 29th highs on the recovery path.

However, things will change if gold buyers fail to find a strong foothold above $1,850. In this case, it is possible that the downtrend will gain momentum once again. The gold price will need to break the previous day’s low of $1,815 to reach the important support at $1,810, where the March 8 low was recorded. Additionally, the $1,800 threshold will be a difficult level for gold sellers to break. The 100 Day Moving Average (DMA) is trying to cross the 200 DMA from above. This suggests that any pullback in gold from monthly lows is temporary.
