Market news:
After the Asian trading market opened on Monday, the spot gold price opened sharply lower. After opening slightly lower, the spot gold fluctuated narrowly. Then the London gold price fell further, reaching a low of $3,208/ounce, a plunge of nearly $30 from the closing price last Friday, but it was still supported by bargain hunting. Bloomberg reported that the international gold price fell from its historical high due to the latest US trade news released by US President Trump.     As Trump's tariff actions triggered investors' pursuit of safe-haven assets such as gold, the gold price soared by more than 6% last week, breaking through $3,245/ounce for the first time. It was the largest weekly increase since March 2020. This round of gains was jointly driven by the deepening of the trade war, the plunge of the US dollar, the rising expectations of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and geopolitical risks, highlighting the attractiveness of gold as the ultimate safe-haven asset. At the same time, weak US economic data, soaring inflation expectations and huge shocks in the bond market further amplified market panic and accelerated the influx of funds into the gold market. Investors need to continue to pay attention to changes in the International Trade Bureau and market risk aversion this week. Economic data mainly focus on the US March retail sales monthly rate (commonly known as the "terror data") and the European Central Bank's interest rate decision. Elsewhere this week, traders will focus on how some of the world's largest central banks respond to the rapidly changing global economic outlook. The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the European Central Bank are expected to ease monetary policy. Lower interest rates are generally beneficial to interest-free gold.

Technical Review:

Gold has completed a gain of more than $275 in three trading days. The daily structure continues to maintain continuous positive and strong positive closings, the moving average opens upward, and the price runs along the upper track of the Bollinger Band. The short-term four-hour chart price continues to rise along the MA10-day moving average, the moving average opens upward, the Bollinger Band opens upward, and the RSI indicator runs close to the 80-value high. The technical side of gold continues to maintain bullish dominance, and the price continues to run in an upward trend. The trading at the beginning of the week continues to be mainly based on the callback and low-multiple participation layout, with high-altitude assistance.

Judging from the current situation, if the tariff policy is further tightened, the risk aversion sentiment in the global market will inevitably be ignited again, thereby driving the gold price to continue its strong rise. On the contrary, once there are signs of easing of tariff policies, the gold market is very likely to reverse in an instant, falling rapidly or even falling into a situation of plummeting. Therefore, the key guidance of gold trends this week is undoubtedly focused on every subtle change in tariff news. In this market, the influence of a tariff news is so great that all previous technical-based analysis and forecasts are instantly invalid. Looking back at the recent market, we can clearly see that in just three days, the price of gold first fell sharply by $211, and then rebounded rapidly, soaring by $275 in three days. Such drastic and frequent price fluctuations are almost entirely driven by various news, which once again highlights the decisive role of news in the current gold market.

Today's analysis: From a purely technical analysis perspective, the strong performance of the weekly big positive line clearly shows that the current buying power controls the overall market structure. It is worth noting that in the past month or so, the Asian market has formed a unique opening must rise rule. In-depth details of the market, we can find that the low point of gold in the US market, 3220-3215 area, has become a key watershed between buying and selling strength. When the price runs above this area, the market shows obvious strong characteristics; once the price falls below this area, the market is very likely to turn to a weak pattern.Similarly, the Asian session retracement low point of 3185-3190 area also constitutes an important dividing line between buying and selling. If the price remains above this area, buying will dominate; if it unfortunately falls below, the market is likely to quickly switch to selling mode, and even trigger a rapid plunge. Looking at the upper space, there is still great uncertainty. Investors can focus on the new high breakthrough in the 3245-3250 area, followed by the 3265-3260 area and the psychologically important $3,300 mark.As the tariff war continues to deepen, the market generally expects that in the next 1-2 weeks, the gold market will usher in more crazy fluctuations, and its rise and fall is expected to break historical records. Investors need to be vigilant at all times and respond to market changes with caution.
