Key support level for gold price to rise: 3340
Analysis of current gold price trend:

As shown in Figure 4h: The white channel clearly reflects the current upward trend of gold price.

Latest fluctuations:
On June 20, the gold price once fell to 3340.31 US dollars per ounce. Market sentiment is affected by the Fed's policy and geopolitical situation.

Strong support level: around 3340

Core factors currently affecting the gold market:

(1) Fed policy and US dollar trend
The Fed's June interest rate meeting kept interest rates unchanged, sending a "hawkish" signal. The US dollar index rebounded to 98.8, suppressing gold prices.

The market's expectations for interest rate cuts have cooled. If subsequent economic data (such as non-agricultural employment and CPI) perform strongly, interest rate cuts may be further delayed, and gold prices may be under pressure at 3375.

Strong resistance level: 3375

(2) Geopolitical risks
Middle East situation: The conflict between Israel and Iran once pushed up the gold price to $3444 (June 13), but the recent easing of the situation has led to a weakening of safe-haven demand.

Russia-Ukraine conflict: If the situation escalates or NATO intervenes, it may boost the safe-haven demand for gold again.

(3) Supply, demand and market sentiment
Supply side: Mineral gold growth is weak (the growth rate in the first half of 2025 is only 0.5%), recycled gold is "reluctant to sell" due to the high gold price, and global supply remains in a tight balance.

Demand side:

Investment demand: Gold ETF holdings increased (European and American institutions increased their holdings), but some funds turned to alternative assets such as silver.

3. Short-term and long-term outlook
(1) Short-term (next week)
International gold price: expected to fluctuate in the range of US$3,250-3,500
Key resistance level: US$3,400, support level: US$3,300
(2) Medium-term
Upward logic: Global central banks continue to buy gold (the People's Bank of China has increased its holdings for seven consecutive months), the trend of de-dollarization and inflation expectations support gold prices.
Downside risks: If the Fed's stance turns to a tougher stance, geopolitical risks ease or gold recycling supply exceeds expectations, gold prices may fall back to US$3,250-3,300.

Short-term strategy:

Focus on a breakthrough of US$3,375-3,400. If it stabilizes, it may trigger further gains;
If it falls below US$3,350-3,340, it may fall to the support level of US$3,300.
