GOLD - PULLBACKS LIKELY BEFORE CONTINUED UPSIDE - UPTREND INTACTSymbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3369.50
Gold has been advancing steadily since the start of the trading session, moving toward the 3374 area of interest. Following a breakout above prior consolidation resistance, the metal may now be poised to retest this breakout level before continuing its upward trajectory.
The current rally is supported by heightened trade related risks and a softening US dollar. After briefly declining to 3310, gold resumed its upward momentum, with a key objective at the 3368 resistance level. The recovery is underpinned by ongoing uncertainty surrounding Trump’s trade policy, market anticipation ahead of Powell’s upcoming speech, and broader geopolitical tensions - including trade disputes with the EU, political instability in Japan, and recent criticism of the Federal Reserve from the White House. These factors have prompted a temporary flight to safety, benefiting gold.
From a technical perspective, gold is in a post-breakout realization phase following the consolidation breakout. However, resistance at 3368 has capped further gains for now, and a near-term pullback remains possible. The 3350–3355 support zone is currently in focus. Sustained bullish control above this level could reignite upward momentum and reestablish the breakout continuation.
Key Resistance Levels: 3368, 3374
Key Support Levels: 3345, 3332
The broader market bias remains bullish, bolstered by dollar weakness and persistent risk aversion. Market participants are closely monitoring developments involving Trump and remarks from Powell. Should Powell signal a dovish shift - such as a potential rate cut announcement (e.g. during tomorrow’s 12:30 GMT statement) - gold may extend its gains.

GOLD - BULLISH OUTLOOK WITH SHORT TERM PULLBACKSymbol - XAUUSD
Gold is currently testing the liquidity zone near the 3350 level, exhibiting signs of a potential false breakout above resistance within the prevailing upward trend. A short-term correction may occur before the continuation of the broader bullish movement.
The fundamental backdrop in the market remains complex and somewhat contradictory. Presently, attention is centered on geopolitical developments, particularly the heightened tensions between Russia and Ukraine following the recent weekend escalation. Market participants are closely monitoring diplomatic negotiations taking place in Turkiye. Additionally, the ongoing uncertainty surrounding international tariff policies continues to exert pressure on sentiment.
Since the session's open, gold has demonstrated strong upward momentum, approaching a key liquidity & resistance zone. A false breakout at resistance appears to be forming, which could prompt a corrective pullback toward a key area of interest. Simultaneously, the US dollar is testing a support level, potentially signaling a local correction before resuming its directional movement. This interplay may influence gold prices, which retain an overall bullish outlook.
Resistance levels: 3350, 3365, 3409
Support levels: 3303, 3264
The price has broken out from a consolidation phase, having tested resistance and triggered liquidity above the 3350 mark. Given the current positioning, a retracement toward support levels is plausible before the uptrend resumes.
GOLD - RETESTING SUPPORT BEFORE THE NEXT CLIMBSymbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3327
Gold continues to strengthen, supported by a complex and evolving fundamental landscape.
A false breakdown below the 3285 support level has facilitated a move to a new local high at 3365
Despite a weaker US dollar, gold experienced a modest pullback from the 3365 high amid subdued market activity caused by US market holiday. Investor sentiment reflects profit-taking ahead of key US inflation data releases. Additional downward pressure is linked to optimism surrounding a potential trade agreement between the United States, Europe and Japan. Nonetheless, the decline in gold prices remains limited, as safe-haven demand persists in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions, US fiscal concerns, and instability in the Middle East.
Support levels: 3321, 3308, 3300
Resistance levels: 3363
From a technical perspective, gold appears to be executing a false breakout above consolidation resistance and is entering a corrective phase. During this correction, the price may target liquidity zones in the 3320-3303 range before resuming its upward trajectory.
GOLD - EXPECTING A PULLBACK BEFORE RESUMING UPTRENDSymbol - XAUUSD
Gold is breaking out of its descending price channel and approaching the key area of interest at 3346. A potential false breakout above resistance could prompt a short-term correction before the upward trend resumes.
Gold is advancing for the third consecutive session, trading above the 3300 level, supported by a weakening US dollar and escalating geopolitical tensions. Investor demand for safe-haven assets is increasing amid concerns surrounding US fiscal policy, ongoing trade frictions with China, and the possibility of a military strike by Israel on Iran. Additional support for gold stems from market expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut and diminished outlook for the dollar.
From a technical standpoint, the price is approaching a significant order block and resistance zone between 3345-3360. Since the session opened, the upward momentum appears to have reached its limit, suggesting that a retest of this key level could result in a false breakout and subsequent pullback. Nonetheless, given the prevailing macroeconomic conditions, any corrective move may be temporary, with the broader bullish trend likely to persist thereafter.
Resistance levels: 3346, 3360, 3409
Support levels: 3288, 3265, 3245
Gold has re-entered the buy zone. However, the fundamental backdrop remains volatile. A reduction in economic risks could prompt renewed downward pressure. At present, attention is centered on the 3346–3360 range, where a false breakout remains a probable scenario, potentially preceding further gains.
GOLD - SHORT SQUEEZE BEFORE THE DROP?Symbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3247
Gold is currently undergoing a phase of consolidation. The market lacks a decisive catalyst, and given the prevailing uncertainty in the macroeconomic landscape, traders have largely adopted a cautious, wait and watch approach. This period of consolidation may give way to a sharp movement at any time but the direction remains uncertain.
Investors are closely monitoring signals from the Federal Reserve and ongoing trade negotiations. The US dollar continues to exert downward pressure on gold amid anticipation of trade talks involving China, India, South Korea, and Japan along with recent statements from the Federal Reserve. Previously, gold received support from a weaker dollar following Moody’s downgrade of the US credit rating. However, rising risk appetite and optimism surrounding potential peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have reduced safe-haven demand for gold. Key market drivers namely, Fed commentary and international negotiations will remain crucial in shaping the future trajectory of both the dollar and gold prices.
From a technical perspective, the price remains within a downtrend and is currently in consolidation. A breakout from this range could be accompanied by significant momentum. However, my view is that any movement against the prevailing trend is unlikely to be sustained. A retest of resistance may result in a renewed decline.
Key Resistance Levels: 3257, 3265
Key Support Levels: 3204, 3153
Within the broader bearish trend, the most probable scenario is a short squeeze followed by a downside breakout from the consolidation triangle. As fundamental pressures and economic risks gradually ease, gold may continue to lose value. A false breakout in the 3250-3265 zone could potentially trigger a continuation of the downward trend toward the 3150-3120 zone.
GOLD - RETEST OF TREND RESISTANCE BEFORE POTENTIAL DECLINESymbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3246
Gold is staging a modest recovery amid ongoing market uncertainty. However, a significant resistance zone lies ahead, which could limit further upside and potentially initiate a reversal.
Since the session's open, prices have rebounded slightly following a week-long decline. The current upward momentum is constrained by mixed market signals: on one hand, pressure on the US dollar and Moody’s downgrade of the US credit rating are providing support for gold. On the other hand, elevated bond yields and prospects of new US trade agreements are capping gains.
Market participants are closely watching upcoming Federal Reserve commentary and tracking developments in US trade negotiations with key global partners. In an environment marked by concerns over fiscal stability and weaker economic indicators, gold may maintain a positive bias. However, the emergence of favorable trade news could shift sentiment and lead to renewed downward pressure.
Key Resistance levels: 3257, 3265
Key Support levels: 3204, 3153
A failed breakout above the identified resistance range would signal a lack of upward momentum. Should the price consolidate below the 3257 level following a false breakout of the 3257-3265 zone, it may trigger a reversal and drive the market toward key support levels.
GOLD - RESISTANCE RETEST BEFORE THE DROPSymbol - XAUUSD
Gold is currently undergoing a corrective phase, retesting a significant resistance and liquidity zone within the broader context of a prevailing downtrend. The global trend appears to be approaching a critical juncture, potentially signaling a reversal.
Ahead of the forthcoming US inflation report, gold prices have stabilized following a 3% decline, trading steadily around the 3250 level. This consolidation is occurring against a backdrop of a weaker US dollar. Market participants are awaiting the release of US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which is expected to provide clearer direction for both monetary policy expectations and asset flows.
Support for gold prices is being derived from a combination of factors, including optimism surrounding the US-China trade dialogue, signs of easing geopolitical tensions, and profit-taking on long dollar positions. However, the market remains cautious, closely evaluating the potential implications of inflation data on Federal Reserve policy and the demand for safe-haven assets.
Despite the current stabilization, skepticism persists regarding the sustainability of any upward momentum. Technical conditions suggest the possibility of a sharp reversal, with attention focused on key inflection points that could trigger renewed selling pressure.
Key Resistance Levels: 3269, 3284
Key Support Levels: 3246, 3200, 3167
Should the CPI report fail to deliver any major surprises, a false breakout within the 3260-3270 resistance zone followed by price consolidation could serve as a catalyst for a decline toward the 3200-3150 range.
GOLD - BEARISH FLAG OR BULLISH TREND REVERSAL?Symbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3238
Gold is emerging from a local corrective channel, commonly identified as a 'Flag' formation. Consolidation continues near the base of this potential reversal pattern, with market focus centered on the critical 3200 level.
Gold is experiencing downward pressure amid renewed trade optimism and strength in the US dollar. Prices are retreating early Wednesday as market participants engage in profit-taking following a recent rebound from weekly lows. Although US inflation data came in below expectations, it failed to support earlier assumptions of imminent monetary easing. The Federal Reserve’s continued reluctance to initiate rate cuts is exerting additional pressure on the precious metal. Moreover, growing optimism surrounding potential trade agreements between the United States, China, the United Kingdom, and other nations-along with renewed hope for diplomatic progress in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is dampening gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset.
From a technical standpoint, the outlook remains bearish. The absence of a meaningful rebound from support suggests sustained selling pressure. A consolidation phase appears to be developing ahead of a potential test of the 3200 support level.
Key Resistance Levels: 3243, 3257, 3269
Key Support Levels: 3222, 3200
Should price action continue to consolidate within the current local range and repeatedly test support in the 3222-3200 zone, further downside may be anticipated in the short to medium term. However, in consideration of common market maker tactics, a brief short squeeze targeting local resistance zones cannot be ruled out prior to any subsequent decline.
GOLD IN PLAY - RISKY ROADS AHEAD BUT GOLD KEEPS SURGINGSymbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3468
Gold continues to show strength, testing resistance within the established range, with bullish momentum persisting. The price has moved above the flat consolidation line and entered the buying zone, further progress now depends on the actions of the bulls.
The metal is advancing for a second consecutive session, supported by a weakening of US dollar, heightened demand for safe-haven assets, and intensifying geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
Market sentiment remains fragile due to trade-related uncertainties and regional instability across Asia, as investors look ahead to forthcoming Federal Reserve decisions and remarks from Powell.
Gold is currently breaking out of its previous neutral range. Immediate attention is on the 3369 level and nearby resistance at 3381. The macroeconomic environment remains favorable for gold. If bullish positions are maintained above these key thresholds, upward continuation remains likely.
Resistance Levels: 3369, 3381, 3408
Support Levels: 3352, 3330
A potential retest of the local liquidity zone around 3352, possibly triggering a long squeeze, cannot be ruled out prior to a resumed upward move. For now, the focus remains on the 3369–3370 area, which currently serves as a critical support zone.
GOLD LOSES ITS SHINE - DISTRIBUTION PHASE BEGINSSymbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3244
Gold breaks below 3270, entering a distribution phase amid a strengthening US dollar. The market appears to be in the early stages of a potential trend reversal.
On Thursday, gold remained under sustained pressure, trading at a two-week low, as market sentiment responded to statements by President Trump regarding potential trade agreements with multiple countries, including China. Growing optimism surrounding trade negotiations is enhancing risk appetite, thereby diminishing demand for gold as a traditional safe-haven asset. Notably, even weak US GDP and inflation figures failed to support gold prices, as investor focus remains firmly on trade developments and upcoming labor market data.
Gold's price trajectory is shifting due to the strengthening of the dollar and evolving macroeconomic fundamentals. A break below the recent local low could further reinforce the downward momentum. The initial downside target is set at 3190. A potential retest of the previously breached consolidation support at 3268 may occur before the downward movement resumes.
Resistance levels: 3245, 3270
Support levels: 3190, 3186, 3167
A break below the local low of 3221 could act as a catalyst for a deeper decline, with 3190 as the initial target. A retest of the 3245–3270 resistance range cannot be ruled out prior to the continuation of the downtrend.
GOLD EYEING A BOUNCE - BULLS PUSH BACK AS DOLLAR DIPSSymbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3260
Gold is currently forming a local bottom and is not poised to continue its downward trajectory. The price is breaking through downward resistance, driven by a weakening US dollar and a complex fundamental environment.
At the start of the week, gold stabilized above the 3250 mark as investors gravitated toward defensive assets in response to ongoing uncertainties surrounding US trade negotiations with China and Japan, coupled with escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine.
The dollar’s weakness, ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting, alongside diminishing expectations for an interest rate cut, is further supporting gold’s demand. The market’s focus remains on developments regarding US trade policies and the potential for a more hawkish stance from the Fed in the coming week.
From a technical standpoint, gold is testing the bottom of the trading range as resistance. Should there be no significant reaction to a false breakout and the price continues to challenge the 3268 level, a breakout and subsequent consolidation above this point could pave the way for further gains, with potential targets at 3292 and 3314
Resistance levels: 3269, 3294, 3314
Support levels: 3243, 3222, 3204
The price is currently undergoing a second test of the 3269 resistance level since the session commenced. Buyers are actively testing this resistance for a potential breakout. If the bulls manage to break through 3269 and establish a solid consolidation above the 3271 level, the outlook for further growth would be favorable. However, a retest of the liquidity zone at 3243 remains a possibility before any sustained upward movement.
HEAD & SHOULDERS IN GOLD - WATCH THAT NECKLINESymbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3288
Gold, after a sharp decline, is now trading and consolidating at important levels. The recent movement follows a strong sell-off as geopolitical and tariff-related issues between the US and China began to ease. This decline pushed gold back from its all-time high of 3500, with the metal currently hovering near key support.
The market remains cautious, with attention shifting toward potential shifts in FED policy and broader macroeconomic cues.
A Head & Shoulders pattern is in formation, with gold currently testing its neckline around the critical support zone of 3300–3287. A breakdown and retest of this level may trigger further downside momentum, potentially opening the path toward 3220 and 3075 on a positional basis.
Key Resistance Levels: 3300, 3317
Key Support Levels: 3288, 3215, 3122, 3075
From a technical perspective, gold remains within a corrective structure, maintaining a bearish outlook. Attention is now on the Head & Shoulders neckline - if it breaks to the downside and retests, short positions can be initiated.
WAITING GAME - GOLD STUCK IN A HOLDING PATTERNSymbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 3307
Gold continues to consolidate within a defined range, with immediate attention on the 3370–3269 zone. With key economic data scheduled for release, the metal is expected to remain within this consolidation band for the next several sessions.
Renewed optimism surrounding US trade negotiations has lifted risk sentiment and strengthened the US dollar. The US Treasury Secretary reported constructive progress in discussions with India, while President Trump’s more measured rhetoric regarding China further supported the dollar. Meanwhile, investors are adopting a cautious, wait-and-see approach ahead of the release of first-quarter US GDP data. Should the data underwhelm, gold may experience a sharp uptick as safe-haven demand intensifies.
Overall, the gold market remains highly reactive to trade headlines and macroeconomic indicators, particularly amid anticipated portfolio adjustments at month-end. In the context of current momentum and corrective movement, a short-term recovery is anticipated from the 0.5–0.7 Fib zone. A possible retest of the 3323–3325 resistance area could precede a continuation of the correction within the prevailing consolidation structure.
Key Resistance Levels: 3323, 3352, 3370
Key Support Levels: 3290, 3270
Traders remain attentive to both the resolution of ongoing tariff disputes and the forthcoming economic releases. While price action remains confined within a consolidation pattern, a rebound from support is the base case scenario. However, if price action continues to compress toward either boundary - particularly toward support, the probability of a breakout from the consolidation base may increase accordingly.
GOLD PEAKS, BEARS PEEK IN - CORRECTION KICKS INSymbol - XAUUSD
Gold, having recently reached the psychologically significant level of 3500, has entered a corrective phase. This movement was partially driven by a slight de-escalation in the trade tensions between the United States and China.
Following a decline that did not reach the key support zone at 3288, gold prices began to rebound in early European trading hours, as market participants await the release of US PMI data. The precious metal had previously recorded an all-time high of 3500 but subsequently retreated, influenced by optimism surrounding potential easing in the US - China trade dispute.
The US dollar has also shown signs of recovery amid this correction. However, investor confidence remains cautious due to concerns over the unpredictability of President Trump. During this period of uncertainty, gold continues to consolidate in a corrective pattern.
Attention is now focused on the upcoming S&P Global PMI release, which may shape expectations for future adjustments in the US FED’s interest rate policy and influence the broader market direction.
Key Resistance Levels: 3340, 3360, 3366
Key Support Levels: 3317, 3288
From a technical perspective, gold remains within a corrective structure, maintaining a bearish outlook. Nonetheless, any unexpected statements from Trump could trigger renewed speculative buying. At this stage, a potential pullback from the 3340-3366 resistance range is plausible. Long positions may be considered either on a confirmed retest of support levels or upon a decisive breakout and close above 3370
GOLD - CONSOLIDATING AT HIGHER LEVELS - MORE UPSIDE AHEAD?Symbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 2913
Gold continues to strengthen amidst escalating economic uncertainties and the aggressive sell-off in the US dollar. The metal is currently encountering resistance at the 2921 level and appears poised for further upward movement.
The US dollar has broken its bullish structure following comments from the US Department of the Treasury regarding potential interest rate reductions. This verbal intervention, perceived by some as market manipulation, has had a pronounced impact on the markets. Given the risks associated with trade tensions and expectations of a dovish Federal Reserve policy, further declines in gold appear unlikely. Additionally, weaker-than-expected ADP employment data and PMI figures could provide further upward momentum for gold.
Gold is currently testing two critical liquidity zones: 2913 and 2903. The nearest of these zones has already been tested, and attention is now on the 2921 level. If this level holds, gold may retrace back to the 2913-2903 support range. However, if this resistance is breached, it could set the stage for a stronger upward momentum.
Resistance levels: 2921, 2942, 2954
Support levels: 2913, 2903
Currently, gold is testing 2913, with a rebound forming as liquidity is absorbed. In the short term, the focus is on the 2921 level. A break above this level and a sustained price above it would likely trigger a continuation of the upward movement toward the 2942-2954 range.
GOLD - BROKEN OUT 2881 RESISTANCE, BULLS ARE IN CONTROLSymbol - XAUUSD
Gold has surpassed the downtrend resistance and is consolidating above the critical resistance level of 2881. A pre-breakdown consolidation is forming near 2894, signaling the potential for upward movement amidst a dollar correction.
Trump has confirmed the imposition of new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, which has led to retaliatory actions and heightened concerns regarding the risk of a U.S. recession. The decline in PMI and the Atlanta Fed's GDP forecast contributed to a sell-off on Wall Street, which, in turn, increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Geopolitical tensions remain high as Trump announced the suspension of military aid to Ukraine, leading to dissatisfaction within Europe. Market participants are closely monitoring the upcoming U.S. employment data, which will likely influence Federal Reserve policy and the dollar exchange rate.
The price has breached the 2881 resistance level, which had previously acted as a dividing line in the market. A pre-breakdown consolidation is currently forming around the 2895 level. A break above this resistance, coupled with price consolidation above 2895, may further reinforce the upward trend.
Resistance levels: 2895, 2921, 2929
Support levels: 2885, 2876, 2859
The primary objective for bulls is to maintain support above the 2885 - 2895 range. Given the increasing economic risks and the weakening dollar, gold is well-positioned for continued growth following the shift in the local trend.
In this scenario, potential targets are 2915, 2921, and 2929
GOLD - DOWNTREND PERSISTS, PRICE UNDER BEARISH PRESSURESymbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 2870
Gold has been on an upward trajectory since Friday, a typical response following the false breakdown of support at 2834. The price remains within a selling zone and is expected to approach resistance levels before potentially experiencing a pullback to the downside.
The US dollar has gained significantly over the past week and appears to be positioned for further strength. However, its trajectory remains contingent upon the ongoing tariff dispute, economic risks, and regulatory policies within the United States.
Market reactions are also being influenced by efforts to address the conflict in Eastern Europe. Key developments to watch include upcoming statements from the Federal Reserve and the release of US economic data.
On the 4-hour chart, Gold is trading within a narrow range between 2881 and 2834. Should the price fall below 2881, gold will remain under bearish/selling pressure. However, the liquidity in the 2878 - 2881 region suggests that gold may test this area of interest before resuming its downward movement.
Key resistance levels: 2869, 2877, 2881
Key support levels: 2859, 2834
Currently, consolidation is taking place below the 2869 level (0.5 Fibonacci retracement) following a false breakdown. If bearish momentum prevails and price remains below this level, a decline may occur sooner. Another potential trigger is the 2859 support level - If this level is breached, a sell-off and liquidation could ensue, potentially driving prices down to 2834
On the other hand, buying can be considered if gold overcomes the 2878 - 2881 zone and is able to consolidate above this area. In this case, the price will confirm the break of the trend and strong resistance. At the moment, while gold is inside this range, we can consider an intra-range trading strategy.
GOLD - BULLISH STRUCTURE SHAKING - WHAT'S NEXT?Symbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 2910
Gold has transitioned from a locally bullish trend to a neutral, sideways market. Despite this shift, bullish forces continue to defend key support levels. What can we anticipate for the precious metal in the near term?
Investor sentiment has gravitated back toward safe-haven assets amid concerns surrounding President Trump's tariff policies and disappointing U.S. economic data. On Tuesday, gold experienced a pullback from its record high of $2,956 due to profit-taking and a decline in Chinese imports. However, a weaker-than-expected U.S. consumer confidence index facilitated a recovery in gold prices.
The upward movement in gold is currently constrained by a strengthening U.S. dollar and rising bond yields, but ongoing trade war concerns continue to fuel demand for the metal.
Key resistance levels: 2921, 2929, 2942
Key support levels: 2905, 2888
As a result, gold is likely to remain within a sideways trading range. There is potential for a short-term decline to retest support in the 2905-2888 range before resuming upward movement. Alternatively, a breakout above resistance levels could signal further gains.
If the bulls manage to sustain trading above the 2921-2929 zone, the metal could resume its upward trajectory.
GOLD - RETEST OF TREND SUPPORT BEFORE DATA & NEWS FLOWSymbol - XAUUSD
Gold is currently exhibiting a false breakdown of the lower boundary of its consolidation range and the support for its uptrend within the ongoing correction. Traders are awaiting the release of the S&P Global PMI indices in the United States.
The price of gold has retreated from its record high of $2955, yet it still maintains the potential for further upward momentum. The recent decline can be attributed to profit-taking as market participants prepare for the upcoming release of the S&P Global PMI indices in the U.S.
The PMI data may influence market expectations regarding potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. However, any potential price decline driven by strong PMI results could be short-lived, particularly if President Trump's new tariff proposals reignite demand for safe-haven assets.
Although gold may continue to experience correction, any downward movement is likely to be perceived as a near-term buying opportunity.
Key resistance levels: 2933, 2939, 2946, 2955
Key support levels: 2924, trend support
A false breakdown of the uptrend support is in progress. If the bulls manage to defend the key support area, gold may continue its ascent in the short to medium term. However, the short-term outlook is contingent on upcoming news.
GOLD ON THE EDGE- WILL SUPPORT HOLD OR WILL THE BEARS TAKE OVER?Symbol - XAUUSD
CMP - 2912
Gold is currently testing a key level, bouncing off previously tested trend support, which opens up a potential for upside movement. As global economic risks remain high, gold continues to be in demand as a safe haven. This demand is especially pronounced amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, including the upcoming US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia, where a potential resolution of the Ukraine conflict could alter market sentiment. These talks could significantly impact the outlook for risk assets and the demand for safe-haven investments like gold.
Market participants are also cautious as the US Federal Reserve remains vigilant over inflation. Despite gold’s recent rally, weak risk appetite is boosting the dollar, and the hawkish tone from Fed officials continues to fuel concerns over inflation. They have voiced their preference for caution in cutting rates, especially with inflation still above target levels. This has led to expectations of a single rate cut this year, which in turn is influencing bond yields and investor sentiment. In terms of technical analysis, gold is trading within a critical risk zone.
Resistance Levels: 2915, 2928, 2942
Support Levels: 2897, 2880, 2855
A false break below the support level at 2897 could signal a continuation of bullish momentum, while maintaining price levels above 2920-2928 could open the path towards 2942, 2960, and potentially even 3000. Conversely, if gold fails to hold above the support levels and breaks below 2880, liquidation could occur, it could lead to a significant retracement and further downside risks.
