GOLD AWAITS FED DECISION – WILL $3,050 BE THE NEXT TARGET?📌 Market Outlook
Gold is holding steady above the $3,000 level as investors remain cautious ahead of the March 19 FOMC meeting. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged, with increasing speculation about a potential rate cut in June.
Despite last week’s price surge, gold’s short-term direction hinges on how the Fed’s economic outlook unfolds. If policymakers signal a dovish stance, we could see new highs beyond $3,050. However, any signs of persistent inflation may trigger a short-term pullback.
📊 Key Technical Analysis
🔹 Support Levels (Buy Zones)
$3,000 – The psychological level where buyers are active.
$2,985 - $2,975 – Strong liquidity zone, likely to provide support.
$2,945 - $2,950 – If tested, this could be a major reaccumulation area.
🔺 Resistance Levels (Breakout Targets)
$3,034 - $3,050 – Key resistance, breaking above could open the door for further upside.
Above $3,050, momentum could accelerate toward $3,080 - $3,100.
