FX.co ★ Trading signals for GOLD (XAU/USD) on March 3-4, 2022: buy above $1,923 (symmetrical triangle - 21 SMA)

Gold price is trading above an uptrend channel formed from the low at 1,877 on February 24.

Currently, we can see the formation of a symmetrical triangle. This means that a break above the upper line around 1,937 could cause a strong bullish movement for gold and the price could reach the zone of 7/8 Murray located at 1,964 and eventually reach the psychological level of $2,000.

Conversely, a sharp break below the symmetrical triangle around the 21 SMA located at 1,923 could accelerate gold's strong bearish move and it will fall towards the 5/8 Murray at 1,906 and towards the 200 EMA around 1,865.

In his presentation to Congress, Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, expressed his support for a 25-basis point hike in the interest rate at the March meeting, and gave no indication of a stronger rate of adjustment. The market reacted to this news and for now we see the increase in risk appetite.

However, gold will continue to be the final winner and will be the one that will benfit the most in the Russia - Ukraine crisis because investors, in the face of any fear, will continue to return to refuge. So, gold is likely to conquer new highs.

As long as gold continues to trade above 1,923, it is likely to reach the area from 1,937 to 1,964. Conversely, a close on the 4-hour chart below 1,923 could trigger a move down towards the psychological level of 1,900.
