If the political storm from Washington breaks out, Gold’s voyage could surpass the peak and expand its horizon.”

“The Golden sails are being squeezed between EMA 34 & 89. Golden Harbor 🏝️ (3,734 – 3,683) remains the safe dock for sailors to await the big wave. Storm Breaker 🌊 (3,773 – 3,776) is raising fierce waves, only suitable for short Quick Boarding 🚤 scalps. Tonight’s PCE will be the decisive wind – either pushing the ship beyond 3,78x or forcing it back to retest 3,72x.”

💬 What do you think? Will Gold break through 3,78x or retest 3,72x first?
After a slight decrease, XAU suddenly turned aroundUS Federal Reserve (FED) Chairman Jerome Powell and expect US employment data to be released later this week for further signals on US interest rate cuts.
Yields on 10-year Treasury notes hit a one-month high and remained high, making non-yielding bullion less attractive.
The market remains very sensitive to any discussion about interest rates or anything related to FED policy. So I think the market is still in the wait-and-see phase."
GOLD 28/6 - Can the bulls hold the $1900 mark?The US Dollar experienced significant gains towards the end of last week as the Federal Reserve adjusted its perception of the interest rate trajectory.
The reaction of Treasury yields will play a crucial role in determining the outcome. If they surpass the inflation rates priced in by the market, real yields may increase slightly, potentially leading to a decline in gold prices.
Although there seems to be a double bottom pattern forming for gold at the H4 timeframe, confirmation of this pattern requires the market to break through the resistance level at $1932. Once this barrier is breached, the short-term target for gold would be $1950.
We will be monitoring the resistance level at the H4 EMA 34 for a potential selling opportunity.
SELL GOLD zone at: $1926 - $1928 - $ SL $1934 (It is best to carefully review the FOMC news before entering the order)
SELL GOLD zone at: $1942 - $1945 SL $1953
Based on technical analysis indicators EMA 34, EMA 89 with strong resistance zone $1940 - $1943
