GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [29 July - 02 August]This week, the international gold price increased from 2,383 USD/oz to close to 2,432 in the first 2 trading sessions of the week, but then continuously decreased, at one point down to 2,353 USD/oz. After that, gold prices recovered and closed the week at 2,387 USD/oz.
Gold prices decreased in the last sessions of this week as investors took profits from profitable positions, because they are still concerned about short-term risks when the Central Bank of China has still temporarily stopped buying gold in the past 2 months.
Next week, there are two factors that are likely to have a strong impact on gold prices: the FED's July meeting taking place on Thursday and the US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report being released on Friday. In particular, the FED will definitely keep interest rates at the current level. However, what the market is interested in is whether FED Chairman Jerome Powell will change his tone on monetary policy direction. With the recently released US economic data, it is likely that the FED Chairman will still support the plan to cut interest rates in September. This may support gold prices next week.
Technically, on the H4 chart, you need to pay attention to two resistance levels, with support established around 2350, while resistance is at 2430. Next week, if the support level 2350 is broken, it is likely Gold price falls to the 2300 level. If the basic information supports the gold price, we need to see the gold price exceed 2430 to maintain the upward momentum.
Notable technical levels are listed below.
Support: 2,300 – 2,323 – 2,350USD
Resistance: 2,475 – 2,430USD
📌The short-term trading plan for next week will be to sell around 2431, buy around 2323. Then continue to wait to sell around 2475, wait to buy around 2300.

In addition to cooling inflation, expectations of slowing growth in the US labor market will cause the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates before the end of the year.

Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan will hold a monetary policy meeting later on Tuesday.

Although gold has surpassed the original price level of 2,400 USD, after reaching the initial target level, please pay attention to the weekly publication at 2,408 USD, the price point of the Fibonacci retracement of 0.382%, and the upward momentum. The price of gold is also limited by this level.
In the immediate future, keeping above the original price of 2,400 USD will be a positive signal for gold. But for gold prices to qualify for a longer bull run it needs to break above the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement level then target around $2,437.
In the short term, gold will be supported by the 21-day moving average (EMA21) and the lower edge of the price channel.
During the day, the trend of gold prices is providing the conditions for a bullish outlook and notable technical points are listed as follows.

GOLD → Correction before the bullrun. Target 2500?FX:XAUUSD is strengthening and testing 2450. The price rise was influenced by Powell's comments on progressive deflation and a possible rate cut in September, as well as another conflict in the Middle East....
The Fed left the rate unchanged for the 8th time at 5.5%. The rate has remained unchanged since the summer of 2023 and is the highest in 20 years. There was considerable discussion of a rate cut at this meeting. A rate cut may be considered in September. In addition, the intensification of the conflict in the Middle East may turn into a full-fledged war, which generally increases the interest in gold.
Today is also a busy news day. Initial Jobless Claims, SP PMI, ISM are ahead. The data also plays an important role in shaping the medium-term strategy, so it is important to evaluate the actual results.
Resistance levels: 2437, 2450
Support levels: 2430, 2421
After a false breakdown of resistance, a correction is forming. Gold is bullish at the moment (trend, sentiment and interest), so the nearest strong support may become a reversal zone for further strengthening. The potential target is 2451 - 2474.

GOLD → Retest resistance before a breakout. What's next?FX:XAUUSD has been strengthening since the opening of the session and is testing the 2400 zone. The market is getting bullish again, but at the same time it is at a strong resistance. The focus is on 2393.0.
There is no news today and the overall situation is stable. Gold has no obvious reasons for a possible strong fall. Markets are waiting for the confirmation of the progression of US deflation with the subsequent hints on the soon reduction of interest rates. The fact itself is favorable for gold.
Technically, the focus is on the edge of the range 2393. Consolidation of the price above this area may well influence further growth, but it is necessary to follow the descending resistance, because it will be difficult to pass this area from the first time.
Resistance levels: 2400, 2430
Support levels: 2393, 2384, 2377
Technically and fundamentally everything is quite positive. We should expect a retest of resistance with subsequent growth, but it is not excluded that before the active recovery phase there may be a retest of support, for example: 2387, 2382 or 2377

GOLD recovered strongly by IndiaOANDA:XAUUSD Strong recovery, Gold price reached 2,418 USD/ounce during the Asian trading session on July 24.
Spot gold ended a four-session losing streak as India's move to cut import taxes on gold and silver is expected to boost global gold demand.
India plans to significantly reduce import duties on gold and silver
The Indian government on Tuesday announced plans to reduce import tax on gold and silver from 15% to 6%. The move could boost retail demand and help curb smuggling in India.
“To increase the domestic value addition of gold and precious metal jewellery, I propose to reduce customs duty on gold and precious metals,” Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in her budget speech on Tuesday. silver down 6%.”
Increased gold demand in India could push up global gold prices because India is the world's second largest gold consumer.
In addition to news from India, falling US bond interest rates is also a positive signal for gold.
Gold prices recovered, due to falling US Treasury bond yields. The US 10-year Treasury yield fell 1.5 basis points to 4.24%, which is a positive signal for gold.
Traders are awaiting key US economic data, including June inflation and Q2 GDP, to gauge the Fed's next move.
According to CME Group's "FedWatch" tool, the market expects a 96.1% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates in September.
Since gold does not earn interest, cutting interest rates could reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, thereby making gold more attractive to investors.
Pay attention to important US data
The focus this week will be on US second-quarter GDP data on Thursday and the latest personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index on Friday, as this is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation.
A weaker PCE is expected to be positive for gold, mainly because the market will be more confident that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates in September.

Technically, if we pay attention to the D1 chart, gold is testing a conglomeration of strong support: False break of MA-200 + trendline support, as well as bounce from 2350-2355 support level, which means the approximate area of intermediate bottom of the ranyke and forms a global range of 2485 - 2350.

The market focuses on GDP, PCE, GOLD recovers around $2,400OANDA:XAUUSD fell below its original price of $2,400 on Monday (July 22) as the dollar strengthened slightly, making gold more expensive for holders of other currencies, while markets waited for more data US economists and Federal Reserve officials commented this week to clarify the interest rate cut schedule.
According to CME "Fed Watch" data, the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged in August is 97.4% and the probability of cutting interest rates by 25 basis points is 2.6%. The probability of the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged until September is 5.8%, the probability of a cumulative interest rate cut of 25 basis points is 91.7% and the probability of a cumulative interest rate cut of 50 basis points is 2. 4%. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding unprofitable gold, and are an important support for gold prices.
Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he would withdraw from the US presidential race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party candidate in the November election. But it forced a reassessment of risks in the markets. financial markets, affecting gold prices on Monday.
As noted to readers in yesterday's edition, if Trump is re-elected, gold will be under certain pressure in the short term because Trump has a harsh tariff stance. But there will not be fundamental pressure because gold will still be supported by the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) gradual interest rate cuts.
Markets are currently focused on second-quarter US gross domestic product (GDP) data released on Thursday, as well as personal consumption expenditures (PCE) data released on Friday.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold fell to levels around the original price point of $2,400, an area that will be noted as a very important support area.
The area around 2,400USD is a very important support area because this is the confluence of many technical indicators from EMA21, the lower edge of the medium-term rising price channel and the 0.236% Fibonacci level.
If gold can recover to maintain price activity above its original price of $2,400, then overall the bullish structure has not been broken and there is still upside potential. The upward momentum will become clearer if gold can bring price activity above 2,430 USD, at which point the target level will be around 2,465 USD in the short term.
As long as gold remains above EMA21 and within the price channel, the medium-term technical outlook remains bullish, which means long protection levels should be placed behind EMA21.
During the day, the prospect of recovery with the main uptrend will be noticed by the following technical levels.
Support: 2,400 – 2,390USD
Resistance: 2,416 – 2,430USD

Joe Biden, gives up re-election, USD is temporarily supportedUS President Joe Biden on Sunday abandoned his difficult re-election bid under growing pressure from members of his Democratic Party and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him as party candidate on November 11.
Biden will face Republican candidate Trump in the presidential race in the November election. If officially nominated, Harris, 59, will become the first black female presidential candidate of the major parties in American history.
“Kamala Harris, as a potential Democratic presidential candidate, her policy ideas cover many areas such as tech regulation, big tech companies, climate and energy. quality as well as artificial intelligence.”
If former US President Trump wins a second term, Trump's tariff stance will have a major impact on the market (Trump is known as the US President with a harsh tariff stance, demonstrated by his term in office). Trump had a trade competition with China, which had a deep impact on the market and major fluctuations continuously occurred. During this period, the admin also had to monitor each status line of "this President, very tired".)
1. If Trump is elected, precious metal gold and silver may come under temporary pressure as the Dollar strengthens from Trump's harsh tariff stance. In this context, the Dollar should be considered a safe haven and continue to be promoted.
2. Even if Trump is elected, gold prices are still unlikely to sustainably decline or, more accurately, have a long-term fundamental downward trend by central banks such as the Federal Reserve and Banks The European Central Bank, along with many other major Central Banks, will enter a cycle of cutting interest rates.
For this orientation, gold may be temporarily under pressure because the possibility of Trump being elected is very high. According to Bloomberg, Trump's success rate of returning to the White House is more feasible than most other candidates. . In a context where Joe Biden, the representative of the Democratic Party, has given up his difficult re-election effort.
However, this impact is not a long-term impact because the Fed's interest rates will have to be cut gradually, and of course this is beneficial for gold prices in the medium and long term.
The gold price target will continue to be focused on the $2,500 mark, and technical analysis and more market information readers can review in the weekly publication linked below.
GOLD → Profit taking led to the rally. But it's not all bad... GOLD after the retest of 2430 fell under the selloff, there is no pressure on the price of metal, but the reason may be profit taking amid the selloff in stocks and in anticipation of economic data from the United States.
Traders are waiting for US GDP and Initial Jobless CLaims, which will be released at 12:30 GMT. The data may have a medium-term impact on the market, but the whole focus is on PCE, which will be released on Friday. Investors expect the Fed to deliver its long-awaited rate cut in September. In a low interest rate environment, gold's appeal increases.
If the data on Friday shows that inflation is slowing down, it will be a good sign for gold.
Technically, a correction is forming, with emphasis on 2370, or 2350. Strong support areas that can keep the market from falling.
Resistance levels: 2377, 2392
Support levels: 2370, 2355, 2350
The price stops in the zone of 2370-2377 in general it can give some prerequisites for a rebound. If gold can consolidate above 2377, the price may move into the recovery phase, if not, traders may test the liquidity in 2355-2350 before further growth.
