How to trade the Fed's interest rate decision!

350
In nearly an hour, the Fed will announce the Fed's interest rate decision and a summary of economic expectations;
In nearly an hour and a half, Powell will hold a monetary policy press conference.

If the Fed's policy statement or the latest forecast shows a dovish tendency, it may resume the downward trend of the US dollar, thereby supporting the upward trend of gold; and the recent mild inflation and weak employment data in the United States may prompt the Fed to soften its previous assessment, thereby strengthening expectations of interest rate cuts and providing support for gold prices.

From the current technical structure, gold maintains a volatile and anxious market during the day, and there is no clear direction in the short term, but gold is currently always below 3400, and the overall market is still in a weak trend; but gold has repeatedly touched the 3375-3365 area and can quickly recover, proving that there is still strong buying support below; in fact, it stands to reason that if gold is really weak, it should have continued to fall and touched the 3360-3350 area, but gold did not touch the area as expected, but used sideways trading to exchange time and space, and there was no sign of any downward breakthrough, so gold is likely to choose an upward direction.

In addition, the Middle East geopolitical crisis, global economic uncertainty, intensified trade frictions and rising inflation expectations will all provide structural support for gold. So if gold does not fall below the 3365-3355 area today, we will be bullish on gold first; but if gold cannot break through the 3410-3420 area in one fell swoop during the rise, then we need to be careful of the trend of gold rising and then falling.

I have just pointed out that as long as gold does not fall below the 3365-3355 area, we are still bullish on gold. Just now, gold hit a low of around 3363 during the retracement, just arriving at our expected long area. I have gone long on gold as planned and set TP: 3380. I think it is not difficult for gold to hit 3380 in the rebound!Friends in my channel are making money. Have you followed my trading strategy and gone long on gold?
Trade closed: target reached
Overnight, before the news was released, I made it clear that as long as gold remained above the 3365-3355 area, I would still maintain a bullish view on gold, and expected that it would not be difficult for gold to hit 3380. After the news was released, I and all all members went long on gold near 3366 and set TP: 3380. During the trading process, I clearly reminded all members that gold could continue to rise during the Asian session, and we could continue to hold positions overnight. After the Asian session began, I still reminded everyone to wait patiently for TP. And gold did not disappoint everyone, and just now successfully hit TP: 3380. Successfully profited 140pips!
