Gold Price Analysis: XAU/USD battle lines drawn amid hopes for stimulus – Confluence Detector

Gold has been battling the $1,900 level as markets seem worried that Congress would not opt for a new stimulus bill. The precious metal needs new funds to hit new highs. The most recent headline is encouraging – President Donald Trump is willing to raise his offer to above $1.8 trillion. 

Will House Democrats compromise from their demands for $2.2 trillion? Will Senate Republicans allow for more than their most recent offer of $500 billion? 

These are open questions. How are technicals aligned?
