GOLD rising, confluent resistance is about to appearGold rose for the fourth straight session on Tuesday (+0.50% to $2,027), holding above the $2,025 mark, supported by falling US Treasury yields and a weaker US dollar. The same risk aversion on Wall Street is likely to support the metal's rally. Considering the recent gains, XAU/USD is up over 2% from last week's low near $1,985 after higher-than-expected US inflation figures. Despite the positive performance, the direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy may limit gold price increases in the near term, so caution is warranted. At the beginning of 2024, the prospects for gold bullion look brighter with the assumption that the Fed will take aggressive easing steps this year. However, overly dovish expectations have subsided due to strong US labor market data and stagnant deflation progress. Traders may continue to reduce dovish speculation on the FOMC if incoming information continues to reflect economic strength and strong price pressures. This is because these two factors could encourage policymakers to delay the start of the easing cycle and reduce the magnitude of further rate cuts. There are no major events on the US economic calendar in the coming days, but next week January PCE figures will be released. This report is poised to explain the latest inflation dynamics and provide insight into the Fed's next steps, so traders should keep an eye on it.

GOLD is waiting for salary data and hearingsWorld gold prices are waiting for salary data and the hearing of the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in early March. At 8:40 a.m. this morning, February 22, Vietnam time, the world gold price stood at 2,027 USD/ounce, a slight increase of 2 USD/ounce compared to the same time last morning. In the short term, world gold prices may move sideways. World gold prices are waiting for salary data and the hearing of the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in early March. Fed officials noted that inflationary pressures eased and economic activity remained strong. According to the minutes, the committee wants more evidence to show that inflation continues to fall to the target level of 2% before making a decision to loosen monetary policy. It is forecasted that gold will likely continue to move sideways in the short term and the information the market is waiting for will be the personal consumption expenditure (PCE) report published next week, followed by the payroll and regulatory session. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's testimony in Congress in early March. Tonight, the US continues to release the purchasing management index for the manufacturing, services, and mixed sectors and the first unemployment benefit applications of the week. This will be the data for the Fed to assess the health of the economy. These will be data that impact gold prices in the short term.

GOLD the upward trend in the price of the dollar remains stableMarket participants are looking forward to the release of core PCE data next week, which is expected to cause volatility in the FX market. Consensus estimates forecast a 0.4% rise in January, bringing the annual rate down to 2.7%. Traders should prepare for a potential surprise similar to last week's CPI and PPI reports. Stiff price pressures in the economy, along with solid job creation and strong wage growth, could force the Fed to delay the start of its policy easing cycle until the second half of the year, resulting in little adjustment once the process is underway. A scenario like this could push interest rate expectations in a more hawkish direction compared to their current status. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF GOLD PRICES Gold edged up on Thursday but encountered resistance around $2,030, a key resistance zone where a falling trendline aligns with the 50-day simple moving average. Sellers must defend this area strongly to prevent the bulls from reasserting their dominance; failure to do so could result in an increase towards $2,065. On the other hand, if sentiment turns in favor of sellers and the price starts to pull back, support can be identified at $2,005, positioned near the 100-day simple moving average. Further downside pressure may put $1,990 in focus, followed by $1,995.

GOLD → Negative fundamental background and support retest FOREXCOM:XAUUSD , as we expected, is declining. False breakdown of 2031, retest of global resistance and negative fundamental background leads to the price losing 0.9% from the local high. There is little news today, the fundamental backdrop for gold persists, as does the outflow of GOLD-ETFs from the market, which is a generally negative scenario. The dollar continues to strengthen, as well as forming a candlestick pattern that confirms the general policy. Technically, gold is testing 2015 and may form a rebound to 2020-2025, after which the market may wait for a retest of 2015-2016 with the aim of breaking the support and further decline to the mentioned targets. Both technically and fundamentally, the overall picture suggests further price decline. Resistance levels: 2021.5, 2027 Support levels: 2015, 2010, 2000, 1995 The situation is generally bearish. The fundamental background and TA determine for us the medium-term potential, which is directed towards the realization of the movement to 2000-1990 TVC:DXY TVC:GOLD COMEX:GC1! COMEX_MINI:MGC1!

GOLD → Retest of a previously broken level. Panic zone FOREXCOM:XAUUSD is testing local levels in the correction phase and heading towards descending triangle resistance. There are several strong levels crossing in the area of 2035-2037. What to expect from the price? The price is in the correction phase testing the symmetrical triangle resistance as well as the previously broken ascending support line. Technically, gold is in a stalemate situation, as well as in the selling zone. The crossing area of strong levels is at 2035-2040. Most likely, before a possible further fall, the price may test 2035-2040 with a false breakout. But, there is news ahead and we should not forget about their nature of unpredictability. Resistance levels: 2035, 2037, 2040 Support levels: 2030, 2020, 2016 Fundamentally, gold is weaker against the dollar. Technically, we have no trend, only flat. There is news ahead and on the background of the news, I expect that the price may continue to fall after the correction phase. Targets remain the same TVC:GOLD COMEX:GC1! COMEX_MINI:MGC1!

GOLD nudges higher in early tradeUS equity and bond markets are closed for the day – US Presidents’ Day holiday – and this will weigh on market activity across a range of asset classes. Activity over the rest of the week should pick up with FOMC minutes, the release of the February PMIs, and chip-giant Nvidia’s earnings all worthy of attention. In addition, a handful of Fed speakers will give their latest thoughts on the economy, and maybe a steer on the future path of US interest rates. The precious metal is continuing last week’s move despite hotter-than-expected US CPI and PPI data. Market rate-cut expectations continue to be pared back with the first cut now seen at the June meeting with a total of 90 basis points of cuts priced in for this year. In late December, the market forecast the first cut at the March meeting and expected a total of 175 basis points of cuts. We noted last week that gold was heavily oversold using the CCI indicator – see the story at the top of this article – and this weakness is currently being reversed. A move higher will find initial resistance from the 20-dsma at $2,023/oz. and ta prior level of horizontal resistance, and the 50-dsma around $2,033/oz. Initial support at $2,000/oz. ahead of $1,987/oz.

XAUUSD Channel Down is about to top.Gold has been trading within a Channel Down pattern since the December 28 2023 High. The price is at the moment around the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) and close to completing a +2.84% rise, which is the usual Bullish Leg % within this pattern and currently falls just below the 2045 Resistance. The 4H RSI is already on the same Bearish Divergence that priced the Highs of February 01 2024 and December 28 2023. As a result, we are turning bearish again on the short-term, targeting the top of the long-term Support Zone at 1985. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

GOLD - Price tests resistance ahead of FOMC meetingOANDA:XAUUSD is testing 2030 and forming a false breakdown. Today the market is waiting for news from the FOMC , where they are likely to discuss inflation, interest rate and may make some statements. At this time the metal price is forming the range of 2030 - 2016 Globally, gold is flat as investors are confused by the US market regulators. But, interest in the metal is still high from the Central Bank, at the same time the GOLD-ETF is caught up in a wave of sell-offs due to the Fed's sharp statement last week about a possible interest rate cut in summer instead of spring. Technically, gold may head towards 2020, 2016 support from resistance. But, at the time of news, the price may test 2029 and 2037 before further correction to these targets. Resistance levels: 2029, 2037 Support levels: 2020, 2016, 2004 The market is neutral and the price is moving between strong levels. Most likely, on the background of the FOMC speech, the price may again form a bearish correction after the resistance retest. TVC:DXY TVC:GOLD COMEX:GC1! COMEX_MINI:MGC1! Regards R. Linda!

GOLD → Growth towards the liquidity area. False breakdown?OANDA:XAUUSD on high timeframes continues to form a sideways movement, but at the same time is in the selling zone. The market is still under pressure from the negative fundamental background. There is almost no news today, US Leading Index is published at 15:00 GMT and in general, analysts expect bearish data for the dollar. Gold is in panic zone on H1. The price is trying to go outside the descending channel while the US market is resting. Technically, the MarketMaker has an interest to rise to the area of 2029, as there is a rather large pool of liquidity hiding there. On the background of a possible strong distribution may form a retest of resistance in the format of a false breakdown, which would mark a further decline from 2029 to 2020-2016. BUT, consolidation above 2029 will give confirmation of local trend change within the global flat. Resistance levels: 2023, 2029, 2037 Support levels: 2020, 2016, 2010 A rise towards 2029 may soon follow, a quick move up will allow to reach the liquidity area. But because of this distribution we have a high chance to see a false breakdown of 2029 with further decline to support TVC:DXY TVC:GOLD COMEX:GC1! COMEX_MINI:MGC1! Regards R. Linda!

Two potential swing trades for goldGold futures saw a false break of $2060 on Wednesday, before momentum turned lower and sent prices back beneath the weekly and monthly pivot points. Those pivots have since turned into resistance, before gold saw a trendline break. As RSI (2) is oversold and prices have found support at the 10-dy EMA and daily S1 pivot, bulls could seek a near-term swing long trade with a stop below 2045 and a target back near the pivots. At which point, we see the potential for another leg lower, so bears could seek evidence of a swing high and for a move back down to $2040, or the swing lows near the daily S pivot.

GOLD recovering from US inflation concernsPrecious metals edged higher, partly due to the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) being technically oversold. The CCI indicator, comparable to the RSI, compares the difference between current and historical prices over a set timeframe and indicates whether the market is overbought, neutral or oversold. On Wednesday, the CCI showed gold was deep in oversold territory and back to levels last seen in late September, just before the market surge. If the market continues to shed this oversold level, gold could retest the $2009/oz level. ahead of the 20 and 50 day simple moving averages currently at $2,023/oz. and 2,031 USD/oz. corresponding.

GOLD → Retest of downtrend resistance. Low volatility on Monday FOREXCOM:XAUUSD is redeeming part of the fall that occurred on Tuesday. The price is testing trend resistance amid the correction, but the negative fundamental background is still in place. There is no news today, as the USA is celebrating the President's Day. Technically, buying back positions is not an uncommon maneuver from a market maker who has the task to get back some liquidity from speculators who had time to open trades in the right direction. Also, the area of 2029 is an attractive zone and we have a high enough chance to retest this resistance. But, after breaking through the channel resistance, there is no upward impulse, which would indicate a change of trend. XAU is currently in a narrow consolidation and may soon test the 2016 support and the previously broken channel boundary. If a false break of trend resistance is formed, a sell-off phase towards 2000-1998 will begin. Resistance levels: 2020.9, 2023, 2029.4 Support levels: 2016, 2015, 2011 The price is in the 2020.9 - 2016 consolidation. A break of one of the boundaries will give temporary potential. If resistance is overcome, price will head towards 2029.4 before falling further. But, a breakout of 2016-2015 will form a phase of decline to the mentioned targets on the chart TVC:DXY COMEX:GC1!

XAUUSD: Channel Down making a Lower High. Bearish.Gold is on the third bullish 1D candle in a row. That is after the Channel Down made a LL on the 1D MA100 and formed the current bullish wave. The 1D MA50 has been rejecting every breakout attempt since February 7th and is the ideal LH level. Having turned neutral on the 1D technical outlook (RSI = 48.139, MACD = -7.100, ADX = 31.092), this is the ideal level to start selling again with a max tolerance level the top of the Channel Down. The sell signal will be confirmed after the 1D RSI crosses under the MA trendling again. We are bearish targeting the S1 level and 1D MA200 (TP = 1,975).

Gold: Don’t Slacken! 💪To follow our primary scenario, Gold must not slacken on its way further up the chart! We still expect the turquoise wave B to reach a new all-time high, which requires more (corrective) rises. However, our alternative scenario could still prevail with a probability of 40%. In this case, the turquoise wave alt.B would have already been finished with the last prominent high, and Gold would, therefore, turn down earlier to dive below the support at $1935.

GOLD - Formation of a bearish channel. Bounce before the fall FOREXCOM:XAUUSD is moving into a consolidation phase after a phase of strong sell-offs. The probable reason could be the news that the market is waiting for. What can happen in the market? The general fundamental background for gold is negative, therefore, it is worth considering further prospects downward. Technically, a descending channel is beginning to form on the chart, but the price is already forming a rebound from the trend support, confirming the presence of the channel boundary. As the news is ahead, before the fundamental data update, the gold market may test one of the key resistances to capture liquidity. Such target may be MA-50, 1998, or the boundary of the range 2000-2004. And the target on the background of the bearish trend may be the area of 1980 - 1976. Support levels: 1990 Resistance levels: MA-50, 1998, 2000, 2004 Traders are waiting for the news, analysts are generally expecting bearish numbers, but something tells us that the current US policy will not allow strong bearish data.

GOLD → News takes price out of uptrend and consolidationFOREXCOM:XAUUSD is leaving the range. It happened. Tuesday's news defines the medium-term outlook for the market and, amid selling pressure, the price reaches targets below 2000. Today we have no news, the fundamental background remains the same - negative for gold. The chart above clearly shows that the price is coming out of the consolidation phase and the uptrend. The strong support area is broken, and the closing of the daily candle on Tuesday defines the local boundary at 1990, if it is broken, the decline will continue. Actual targets at the moment are 1980 - 1976. A strong enough liquidity zone that beckons this wave of momentum. After the inflation report, the dollar continues to rise, and the markets are now betting that the Fed will not cut rates before June, which is a negative leverage for the forex, including the XAU. Resistance levels: 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004 Support levels: 1990, 1980, 1976 1990 plays a key role. There may be a correction or multiple retests before the breakout.

Market selloff poses a threat to the gold's performanceFinally, our expectations for gold to slide below $2,000 were fulfilled yesterday when the shiny metal sold off following the release of higher-than-expected inflation data in the United States. Given the hell breaking lose (yesterday) in the stock market, we remain concerned about gold’s performance in the short and medium term (while being bullish in the long term). It is very likely that the selloff in stocks will negatively affect gold’s price (if it continues), dragging it to $1,950 and potentially even lower (depending on the new developments). In line with our previous assessments, we patiently wait for a better price to manifest itself before taking advantage of the opportunity (ideally waiting for the dip below $1,900). Illustration 1.01 The image above shows the daily chart of XAUUSD and adjusted fan lines. The yellow arrow indicates a bearish breakout below the third fan line. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 portrays the daily graph of XAUUSD and simple support/resistance levels derived from peaks and troughs. Illustration 1.03 On the daily time frame, the MACD crossed into the bearish territory, bolstering the odds of gold continuing lower.

GOLD → False breakdown before the news. What to expect?FOREXCOM:XAUUSD , amid the decline we were waiting for, reaches the target of 2015 and forms a false breakout. But the only thing that is constant is the range. What should we expect from the price at this point? Pic: False break of trend line support The dollar stops again and goes into consolidation before another series of news. Today the market is waiting for the CPI. Gold enjoys a very high interest from the Central Bank and traders are actively trying to buy and contain a possible fall. Thus, the false breakdown provokes the growth and strengthens the prices to the resistance 2064 and the trend line. A false breakdown may be highly likely to be followed by a small correction before further growth. Trading inside the range continues, so it is worth to follow the appropriate strategy. Since we have no actual trend, it is acceptable to sell or buy, but only if there is a strong reversal zone and a signal. Resistance levels: 2064, trend line, 2037 Support levels: 2018, 2015 Inside the range, the price is moving between the levels. Based on the situation, I expect a false breakdown of the nearest level, correction to support before further growth to the upper boundary of the range. Regards R. Linda!

XAUUSD Last Bearish Leg for a February bottom.Gold (XAUUSD) has dropped again below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and contrary to our last short-term signal (February 07, see chart below), we look today on a longer term monthly basis on the 1D time-frame: As long as the price stays below the 1D MA50, it is very likely to see the current rejection transition into a Bearish Leg for the whole month of February and test the strong long-term Support cluster of the 0.382 Fibonacci level, Support 1 and the 1W MA50 (green trend-line). This pattern expectation emerges due to the similarities of the current price action with what led and followed the May 04 2023 High. The 1D RSI in particular between the two sequences are identical and suggests that we might be on a Bearish Leg similar to June's 2023, which bottomed on a double Low on the Support Zone. Our Target is therefore 1983 (0.382 Fibonacci). It's worth mentioning that all 1W MAs were Supports in the past 12 months, the 1W MA200 (red trend-line) on the October 06 2023 Low and the 1W MA100 (yellow trend-line) on the February 28 2023 Low. That makes the 1W MA50 very relevant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

GOLD → Sellers are testing trend support. What could happen?FOREXCOM:XAUUSD has been testing the local resistance area since the opening of the session and forming a false breakout with subsequent decline, but at the same time a symmetrical triangle is forming on the chart. Idea: GOLD → When will the price come out of consolidation? On D1 the market is still neutral, there is no strong news that would affect the price, but as we can see, gold is testing the global trend support. At the same time, the dollar index continues to form a bullish trend, which is bad for gold. On H1, we can see the local trend change to a downtrend, but the continuation of the trend is hindered by the support of the symmetrical triangle. We have a chance to catch a breakout of this area. Consolidation of the price below the 2021 area will confirm the market sentiment, ready to decline to 2015-2010.

XAUUSD: Bearish Wave underway to 1,975.Gold is about to cross from a neutral technical 1D outlook (RSI = 45.543, MACD = -1.200, ADX = 26.629) to a bearish one as it got rejected on the 1D MA50, under which it will close for the third straight 1D candle. The 1D RSI suggests that this is a very slow medium term decline, as is evident by the 6 week Channel Down, that in the near term it will find a bottom. That can potentially be near the 1D MA200 and on the short term we remain bearish, targeting the S1 level (TP1 = 2,005) initially and in extension, if Gold closes a 1D candle under the 1D MA100, sell again aiming for the LL trendline of the Channel Down (TP2 = 1,975) near the S2 level and over the 1D MA200.

GOLD → When will the price come out of consolidation?OANDA:XAUUSD closed the trading session with a bearish candlestick on Friday. The asset loses 0.8% for the week, but at the same time it continues to stay inside the range between the strong boundaries of 2067 and 2010. Pic: Uptrend in the market. Price is testing trend support The dollar continues to strengthen, testing support as part of the correction and apparently preparing for further growth, which may temporarily have a negative impact on gold. But, if you look closely, technically, gold, on the background of increased interest feels quite confident and the market is trying not to succumb to strong manipulations on the part of the growing dollar. On Friday XAU is testing the ascending support again, the session closes below the line, but it is a weak signal within the flat. The 2015 level may influence the sales, but only if this area is broken. At the moment, there are no signs that the market will break 2015.6 in the near future. We need to wait for the retest of this support and see how the price reacts. But based on the fact that 2015.6 is a strong liquidity area, gold will not be able to break this area the first time. Pic: Gold range on H1-H4 The chart above shows the current range. The price has not yet managed to update the local lows, as well as the highs, as evidenced by the neutrality of forces between buyers and sellers. Against the background of the local situation: dollar growth, negative fundamental background for gold, we can determine that in the coming week gold may test flat support before further rebound (or false breakdown), after which the price may continue trading within this range. The reason for continued consolidation: there is no strong news in the market, the dollar continues to rise as the Fed is not looking to cut rates anytime soon, but buyers are actively trying to contain the declines in gold. The interest in gold is also affected by the interest of the world central banks, as well as the geopolitical crisis, as well as rumors of a banking crisis in the United States. Regards R. Linda!
