Chairman Powell hinted at the end of the interest rate hike cycle, and yesterday gold surged strongly by $30 to around $1,978, completing a short-term reversal. Will gold continue to rise? Although the end of the interest rate hike cycle stimulated gold's rise, considering it from a different angle, the risks of a banking crisis and economic recession caused by the interest rate hike will correspondingly decrease, so the safe-haven sentiment that supported the recent rise in gold will slowly fade away. From a technical perspective, after a strong rise to $2,009 on Monday, gold fell more than $70 for two consecutive days. If the pattern is really strong, the magnitude of this wave of decline would not be so strong, and there is also a divergence signal on the daily chart. Therefore, the probability of gold's further decline increases.
