Gold prices have faltered ahead of Jerome Powell’s testimony, placing additional pressure on price action. With XAU/USD currently threatening the $1,840 psychological level, the monetary policy report could drive prices in either direction.

As the Chairman of the Federal Reserve delivers the report to congress, investors will be waiting for signs of when the Fed may end its tightening cycle.

Although market participants are anticipating rates to rise to 5.5% by year end, the pace of tightening remains a concern. While the Fed Chair addresses the Senate and House committees over the next two-days, any hawkish commentary (higher probability of a 50-basis point rate hike) could drive precious metals lower.

DailyFX Economic Calendar

In preparation of the March FOMC meeting, persistently high inflation has been pushing rate expectations higher. This has supported rising yields which has had a negative impact on gold.

Gold (XAU/USD) Technical Analysis

After a period of indecision, gold prices fell below the 20-day MA (moving average) currently holding as resistance at $1,851. With a cross of the 20 and 50-day MA (moving average) suggesting that more pain could be looming ahead, XAU/USD has continued to eye $1,840. If prices break lower, the $1,830 mark could assist in driving the imminent move, bringing the next big level of support into play at $1,800.
