• Gold price is marching towards $1,750.00 as DXY is performing subdued after a bumper rally.

The previous day high was 1745.58 while the previous day low was 1720.41. The daily 38.2% Fib levels comes at 1730.02, expected to provide support. Similarly, the daily 61.8% fib level is at 1735.97, expected to provide resistance.

Gold price (XAU/USD) has picked bids below $1,735.00 and is expected to advance firmly. The precious metal is oscillating in a tad wider range of $1,734.00-1,741.00 after a firmer rebound from Monday’s low at $1,720.40. Investors are underpinning the yellow metal against the greenback as the US Institute of Supply Management (ISM) is expected to display a subdued performance, which is due on Thursday.

As per the consensus, the US ISM Manufacturing PMI is expected to land at 52, lower than the prior release of 52.8. There is no denying the fact that the street is worried over shrinking economic activities led by the unavailability of cheap money for disposal. Therefore, a decline in manufacturing PMI forecasts is impacting investors’ sentiment.

Apart from that, investors will also focus on New Orders Index data, which is expected to improve to 48.5 vs. 48 reported earlier. The New Orders Index data indicates forward demand for goods and an improvement in economic data may support the DXY. While, the show-stopper event for his week will be US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP), which will release on Friday.

On an intraday timeframe, the gold price is auctioning in a balanced profile in a narrow range of $1,734.00-1,741.25. Investors should be aware of the fact that the formation of a balanced profile above the prior one bolsters the odds of a bullish reversal.

The 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (50) at $1,735.83 is overlapping with the gold prices, which indicates a consolidation ahead. Also, the relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is oscillating in 40.00-60.00, which signals that the market participants are awaiting a potential trigger.
