According to the CME Fed watch tool, the probability of a no-rate cut in  Mar decreased to 99% from 98% a week ago.

 US dollar index-  Bearish. Minor support around 102.30/101.40. The near-term resistance is 103.60/104.

 Factors to watch for gold price action-

Technical:

The near–term support is around $2145, a break below targets of $2130/$2114/$2100. The yellow metal faces minor resistance around $2200 and a breach above will take it to the next level of $2225/$2250.
