• The upbeat mood in markets and the breather in the rise of US yields is helping. 
• Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD eyes a firm break above $1795 amid growing inflation fears

Bitcoin has reached all-time highs, stocks have followed – is it time for gold to break higher? XAU/USD is, at least, moving above $1,800. Last week's upside move proved indecisive, but this latest surge is more substantial. The precious metal is already valued at $1,805.

Gold Price: Key levels to watch

The Technical Confluences Detector is showing that the precious metal faces resistance at $1,820, which is where the Pivot Point one-month Resistance 1 hits the price. 

It is followed by $1,823, which is where another pivot point awaits, the one-week Resistance 2. 

Looking down, some support is at $1,801, where the previous week's top converges with the PP one-day Resistance 3. 

Another cushion awaits at $1,795, which is the confluence of the Simple Moving Average 10-15m, the previous 4h-high and the PP one-week R1. 

Much lower, a barrier against bearish attacks is at $1,783, which is where the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week and the BB 4h-Middle meet up.
