The previous day high was 1645.67 while the previous day low was 1622.52. The daily 38.2% Fib levels comes at 1631.36, expected to provide resistance. Similarly, the daily 61.8% fib level is at 1636.83, expected to provide resistance.

Gold price (XAU/USD) is displaying back-and-forth moves in a narrow range of $1,625.00-1,628.55 in the Tokyo session. The precious metal is awaiting price action from the US dollar index (DXY). The DXY is struggling to sustain above the immediate hurdle of 113.00. The asset attempted to sustain above the 113.00 hurdle but failed to sustain as S&P500 futures have retreated from near 3,645.00.

Well, returns from the US government bonds are not sensing any barricade and are flying like there is no tomorrow. The 10-year US Treasury yields have accelerated to 4.24% for the first time since the sub-prime crisis. The yields are being strengthened by hawkish commentaries from Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers.

On Thursday, Fed Governor Lisa Cook crossed wires citing that inflationary pressures are unacceptably higher and more rate hikes are needed to curtail them. She further added that more rate hikes will line up and later the restrictive policy will be kept.

As per the CME FedWatch tool, chances for a fourth consecutive 75 basis point (bps) rate hike remain more than 93%.

On an hourly scale, the gold price has witnessed a steep fall after testing the highest auction area placed in a $1,642.58-1,671.83 range. The precious metal is declining toward the two-year low at $1,614.85, 8 September 2022. Declining 20 and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at $1,629.86 and $1,634.46 add to the downside filters.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is oscillating in a 40.00-60.00 range and a shift into the bearish range of 20.00-40.00will trigger the downside momentum
