Despite the less-than-ideal macroeconomic conditions, the gold bull is still putting up a fight. The recent comments made by Powell regarding potential rate hikes have pushed gold to its lowest point in three months. During his semi-annual testimony on the economy, Powell hinted at the likelihood of more rate increases in the coming months, even though the Fed decided to pause on another hike last week. The rise in U.S. interest rates increases the opportunity cost of holding gold.
As a result, the gold price experienced a retreat, driven by the strength of the U.S. Dollar Index, breaking below the crucial $1,935 level that had been a strong buying point over the past four weeks. This breakdown was marked by bearish engulfing candles and a notable increase in trading volume. However, buying pressure around the $1,910 level led to a retest of $1,935, creating a situation where the direction of future price action is still uncertain.
In this video, we will conduct a thorough analysis of the XAUUSD market, considering both bullish and bearish sentiments, as well as accumulation and distribution patterns. By examining past price patterns, market behavior, recurring trends, and significant support and resistance levels, we aim to gain valuable insights into the potential actions of buyers and sellers in the upcoming week(s).
