GOLD UNDER PRESSURE DESPITE INCREASED GEOPOLITICAL RISKS
The gold market is experiencing an interesting paradox: While the demand for safe-haven assets has surged due to geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties, gold prices have yet to break out. The primary reason for this is the strengthening US dollar and the cautious stance of the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate cuts.
However, the precious metal continues to maintain its long-term appeal due to its traditional role as a store of value, along with the trend of central banks increasing their gold purchases to diversify foreign exchange reserves. Market developments will largely depend on the policies of the new US administration and global geopolitical conditions.
Gold is currently facing a sell-off as investors remain on extended holiday breaks. Today is the last day of the year, and the market is expected to experience significant liquidity sweeps on major charts such as D1 and W. Caution is advised today. It might be wise to wait for the new year to begin and for the Nonfarm Payrolls report next week, after which prices may stabilize for trading.
For now, the market view today indicates price movement within a similar range as yesterday, approximately 30 points or more, so the range may be quite wide. Please pay attention to the price zones noted by ADMIN to achieve optimal and safe results for your account.
Currently, the trend still shows a strong downward movement, and yesterday we patiently waited for the best entry zone at the 00-02 area. After a sharp drop, the price is now retracing and forming wicks on the H4 chart. It is approaching the small resistance at 2610 - 2612, so we will wait to see how it reacts and consider a sell scalp here. If the upward momentum is strong, wait for the precise price point as outlined in the ADMIN note on the chart.
As noted by ADMIN, these are the BUY/SELL zones based on the price range ANALYZED for the day. However, on the last day of the year, there may be cases where the market will sweep sharply and approach more distant price zones. Please keep an eye on the chart view that has been analyzed for you.
