Gold Spot / U.S. DollarUpdated

Gold Retests ATH – Awaiting the Nonfarm Storm!

🌍 Market Overview:
Last week, gold reached a new all-time high (ATH) but is now facing strong resistance, aligning with the predicted USD rebound from our previous DXY plan.
With the Lunar New Year holidays over, liquidity has returned to the market, bringing more trading opportunities in the Asian and European sessions.
USD Strength: Positive U.S. economic data and the Fed’s decision to keep rates unchanged in January continue to support the dollar, creating potential pressure on gold.
However, gold’s persistent breakout attempts suggest strong bullish sentiment, with price action still respecting a sustainable parallel upward trend channel from the start of the year.

📊 Key Market Events This Week:
Nonfarm Payrolls (Friday):
A crucial event that will determine short-term USD momentum, significantly impacting gold price action.
Investors will adjust their positions accordingly, increasing volatility.
ISM Services PMI (Thursday):

This report will provide further insight into U.S. economic activity and could influence USD strength.
Technical Market Reaction:

Gold remains in an uptrend, but recent reactions at Fibonacci Extension (FE) levels indicate temporary selling pressure at key resistance zones.
