GOLD correction, nearest support level, main technical trendDuring the European market trading session on Monday (July 8), spot gold tended to adjust significantly intraday since the 6-week high reached last week. The current gold price is about 2,372 USD/ounce, down more than 18 USD during the day. Gold prices adjusted gently mainly due to the recovery in Bond Yields, with the 10-year US Bond Yield at 4,308 recovering 0.61% on the day. In addition, China's suspension of gold purchases for the second consecutive month in June put pressure on gold prices.

In case the gold price continues to be sold below 2,364 USD, it has conditions to adjust further with a target level of about 2,340 USD, the price point of the 0.236% Fibonacci level.

GOLD Slips Amid PBoC Buying Pause: Key Supply Zone in FocusThe price of gold attracted fresh sellers during the early European session on Monday. The precious metal lost traction following the People's Bank of China's (PBoC) decision to keep its gold buying on hold for the second consecutive month in June, as revealed by official data released on Sunday. This pause by one of the world's largest buyers of gold has put pressure on the metal's price. From our analysis, the gold price may test the $2,405 area, where we have identified a significant Supply zone. We have set a pending order at this level, anticipating potential resistance. This Supply area is critical for our strategy, as it aligns with historical patterns and technical indicators. Additionally, examining the seasonality of gold, we noticed that prices typically rise in August before entering a bearish period that lasts until October. This seasonal trend provides context for our current market approach, reinforcing the importance of the $2,405 Supply zone in our trading plan. We are closely monitoring the gold price as it approaches our identified Supply area. Given the historical seasonal trends and recent market developments, we are strategically positioned to respond if the price hits this key level. Our analysis suggests that this could be an opportune moment for a trade, anticipating a potential reversal as the market reacts to the PBoC's decision and seasonal patterns. ✅ Please share your thoughts about GOLD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

GOLD Prices Surge as US CPI Data Sparks Fed Rate Cut SpeculationGold prices surged following the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for June, which revealed a slowdown in inflation. This unexpected cooling of inflation has fueled market speculation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may initiate interest rate cuts sooner than anticipated. The CPI data, released on Thursday, indicated that headline inflation in the US had dropped to 3.0% year-on-year in June. This figure is not only below the market’s expectations of 3.1% but also a significant decrease from the previous month’s 3.3%. The slowdown in inflation suggests that the aggressive rate hikes by the Fed over the past year are starting to take effect, reducing the urgency for further rate increases. In response to the CPI data, gold prices hit our sell limit in the supply area, prompting us to open a short setup. Our strategy targets the next demand area as the initial objective. While there is potential for gold prices to decline further to the lower demand zone around $2,220, our current target remains at $2,340. The bearish sentiment among commercial traders aligns with our setup, reinforcing our strategy. Commercials, who are typically large-scale market participants such as producers and merchants, continue to hold a pessimistic outlook on gold. Their positioning often provides valuable insight into market trends, and their current bearish stance supports our short setup. As we move forward, market participants will closely monitor the Fed’s policy decisions and economic indicators for further clues on the direction of interest rates. The possibility of earlier-than-expected rate cuts could continue to influence gold prices and market sentiment. In conclusion, the recent US CPI data has provided a significant boost to gold prices by increasing speculation about future Fed rate cuts. Our strategic short setup aims to capitalize on this movement, with a cautious eye on potential further declines. The alignment of commercial traders’ bearish outlook with our setup adds further confidence to our strategy as we navigate the evolving market landscape. ✅ Please share your thoughts about GOLD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

GOLD → 2387 is key resistance, but ahead of CPI...FX:XAUUSD continues to maintain a bullish market structure, gradually pushing up to strong resistance with a breakout target. The US dollar is declining amid dovish US Fed assumptions.... All eyes remain on the US CPI report Powell's caution on weakening labor market conditions suggested that a September rate cut is likely just around the corner, which once again brought down the US dollar along with US Treasury yields. Softer US annual CPI data or a surprise decline in monthly inflation could confirm the September Fed rate cut and increase the chances of another rate cut in December. And vice versa... Technically, buyers are pushing up to 2387. A break of resistance will open the way to 2400-2437. But, there could be a correction before that Resistance levels: 2387 Support levels: 2378, 2370 Favorable news can strengthen the movement, in which case the resistance breakout is not to be missed. But, unexpected data may shake the market, the dollar may continue its strengthening phase and in this case gold will head towards 2350. Rate, share your opinion and questions, let's discuss what's going on with gold ;) Regards R. Linda!

Get ready for big data, GOLD rises to retest 2,364USDOANDA:XAUUSD is mostly flat as the market awaits important news from US non-farm data to be released today (Friday). Fed rate cut expectations are based on this data. At the same time, affected by the US holiday, market trading volume decreased and gold prices found it difficult to maintain Wednesday's gains, fluctuating in a narrow range but still above 2,350 USD/ounce. Recent U.S. economic data has raised expectations that the Federal Reserve may begin easing policy sooner than expected, but policymakers remain cautious and want to see deflation progress. further development. Data released by the US showed initial jobless claims last week and ADP data showed private hiring activity fell in June compared to May. Additionally, US PMI data ISM service industry shows that business activities in the service industry have fallen into a decline zone. Earlier this week, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said deflation had resumed but emphasized that more progress was needed before interest rate cuts could be considered. He added: “Because the American economy is strong and the labor market is strong, we can take our time and get the job done.” At the same time, the US Federal Open Market Committee released the minutes of its June meeting showing that most participants believe that current policy is very restrictive but leaves the door open for interest rate hikes. Policymakers acknowledge that the economy is cooling and could respond to unexpected economic weakness. Today (Friday), the United States will release its nonfarm payrolls report for June, which is expected to show that the US labor market added 190,000 jobs, down from 272,000 in May. Of course, if NFP data declines, it will be beneficial for gold because it increases the possibility that the Fed will soon cut interest rates, making the US Dollar less attractive. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4%, unchanged from the previous figure, while average hourly earnings (AHE) are expected to fall to 3.9% from 4.1 %. According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, there is a 72% chance the Fed will cut interest rates in September, up from 63% on Tuesday. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, after gold was limited by the $2,364 level that readers noticed in the previous issue, it is now rising to test this important technical level. In the short term, once gold breaks $2,364 it will have room to continue rising with a target then noted at the original price point of $2,400. On the other hand, on the overall technical chart, gold still has all the technical factors for a possible price increase. With the nearest support level at the 0.236% Fibonacci point and main support from the 21-day moving average (EMA21). The relative strength index (RSI) is gradually moving up but is still very far from the overbought area, showing that the room for price increases is still very wide. During the day, the technical trend leans heavily towards the possibility of an increase in the price of gold and it will be noticed by the following points.

GOLD → The fight for 2365. Can we get to 2400? FX:XAUUSD is trading within an ascending channel, but traders are actively selling off all of Friday's growth. The key roll is played by the resistance 2365, at the moment bears are holding the market. The dollar stops falling amid expected comments from Powell, as well as CPI and PPI to be released on Thursday and Friday. The fundamental background is neutral at the moment, Against this background gold is getting under correction and testing the liquidity area of 2350. Now all the focus is on 2365, relative to which a false breakout has been formed. IF: sellers will hold 2365 and will not let the price above this level, we should expect a decline to 2350, 2341 and further it is worth watching the situation, because in this case the price can reach 2325. If the buyers continue to be active and can form a consolidation above 2365, it will open a channel, the upper boundary of which will be 2387 and we can go up to it. Resistance levels: 2365, 2387 Support levels: 2358, 2350, 2341 Two scenarios, as the situation is complicated due to the unstable fundamental background and the struggle between the participants in the key zone that divides the plane into bearish and bullish. I would prioritize a small bounce from 2365, resistance retest, breakout and bullish momentum to 2375-2385. Regards R. Linda!

GOLD slight correction after reaching 2,364 USDOANDA:XAUUSD rallied sharply to test the $2,364 technical level as US economic data performed worse than expected, pressuring the dollar and driving gold prices higher. In addition, tensions in the Middle East showing signs of increasing also stimulate money flows into safe haven assets, and gold is the top choice. Economic data released by the United States was weaker than expected, increasing market bets that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates in September. Data from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) shows business activity in the US services sector softened after reaching its highest level since August 2023.

According to the minutes, officials reiterated that a rate cut would not be appropriate until more data reinforced their belief that inflation was on target. Despite recent signs that some progress has been made in fighting inflation, some policymakers maintain a willingness to raise interest rates if inflation remains high.

GOLD pays attention to the main focus of the marketOANDA:XAUUSD remained generally stable as markets received information from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and continued to look to US jobs data later this week for further signals on the state of the US economy. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) released on Tuesday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found that there were 8.14 million job openings on January 1. Last work of May. This is a significant increase compared to April's 7.9 million (adjusted to 8.05 million) and exceeds the market forecast of 7.9 million. Key points from Powell's speech included his mention that wage growth is falling back to more sustainable levels, a sign that the labor market is cooling. Additionally, he added that inflation could return to 2% by the end of next year or the year after that, suggesting inflation will be lower than expected. However, he reiterated that he hopes to see more progress before being confident enough to start cutting interest rates. "Services inflation has generally stabilized and wage growth is returning to more sustainable levels," he said. "Wage growth remains above equilibrium and the labor market is cooling. Inflation has will probably return at the end of next year or early next year to 2%. The focus now turns to Friday's nonfarm payrolls data, which will be crucial in assessing whether the US labor market remains strong amid the highest interest rates in decades. century or not. However, data due today (Wednesday) will also have an impact on the markets, including the minutes of the most recent meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), as well as the purchasing managers index. services (PMI) from S&P Global and the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD Gold is still trading quite stable around the EMA21 moving average, and the market still needs a fundamental impact large enough to break the current situation and give a clear trend cycle. Technically, although gold is currently above EMA21, its ability to increase in price is limited by the upper edge of the price channel and the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level. Gold will have enough conditions to increase technically if it breaks the price channel and stays above the 0.236% Fibonacci level, then the target level will be aimed at 2,364USD in the short term. On the other hand, once gold continues to be sold below EMA21 and below the technical point of 2,324 USD, it will tend to continue to decrease with a target level of 2,305 - 2,300 USD in the short term. The relative strength index is completely flat, showing hesitation and the market has not found a specific trend. During the day, the technical outlook of gold price is showing that the main trend is sideways accumulation with the above conditions for an increase and decrease.

GOLD recovers, supported by data, key trends, PCE eyes onAs weak economic data supports expectations that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates this year, putting pressure on the USD, spot gold increased sharply by nearly 30 USD in yesterday's trading session. Today (Friday), investors will receive the most important economic data of the week, US PCE inflation data, which is expected to set the market trend. Some published data has supported the gold market. Essentially, wholesale inventories were lower than expected and the final GDP value fell significantly, dragging down the US Dollar index, thus boosting gold prices. • US quarterly GDP growth in the first quarter was revised slightly to 1.4%, but remained below the 3.4% in the last three months of 2023. GDP report also showed weakness in consumer spending. US consumption growth was adjusted down to 1.5% compared to the previous forecast of 2%. • Data released Thursday also showed initial unemployment claims fell to 233,000 in the week ended June 22. However, in the week ending June 15, the number of people continuing to apply for unemployment benefits increased by 18,000 to 1.839 million, the highest level since late 2021.

As the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, year-over-year changes in the core PCE price index have a larger impact on policymakers. The upcoming US core PCE price index for May will act as a short-term catalyst for market trends in general and the gold market in particular. Since gold does not earn interest, falling interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, making it more attractive to investors.

Slow Monday? Crude OilSo we took some Daily BSL last week on Friday and since we have sold off slowly. NWOG gapped down and this indicates for at least today some sort of Raid or hunt to also touch a PD array thats near to a discount. We have no major news catalyst today and that brings slow PA although it may travel its not ideal for scalpers. ( Lots of back and forth ) Wednesday and Thursday have crucial Crude Oil news events and these will be the optimum days to trade. For Today I am bearish until we reach these targets and or a htf Market structure shift. Be prepared to stay dynamic.

GOLD → Pre-breakdown structure, but NFP is ahead. ↑ or ↓ ?FX:XAUUSD is updating the high within consolidation after rallying. Technically, this is a good sign, but NFP and unemployment are ahead. The news could either reinforce the move or completely derail it.... A nice bullish pattern is forming on D1 against resistance at 2365. The deceleration and consolidation in front of the level indicates bullish interest in further growth. But today it is worth paying attention to the fundamental background. From this point of view, the outlook for gold depends on the upcoming news and the reaction of the Fed. Based on previous data, traders expect Friday's employment report to show only 189K new jobs compared to 270K in the previous month, and the unemployment rate to remain unchanged. But the actual data plays a bigger role. Rising unemployment and slowing economic growth may support the gold, as the dollar may continue its localized decline on this background. But, unpredictable data can increase the volatility and affect the market structure in a very opposite way. Resistance levels: 2364. 2387 Support levels: 2355, 2350, 2341 Technically, on D1-H4 gold shows bullish prerequisites, but the economic component plays a big role, which can both support the current movement and reverse it up to liquidation and decline to 2340-2320.

This is the highest level since April 2022, following May's 54.5.

Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold and this supports gold prices. Market uncertainty remains extremely high as markets try to guess the Fed's next move. About the Fed this past week Several Fed officials spoke during the past trading week, with many emphasizing that more evidence of cooling inflation is needed before cutting interest rates. These statements supported the trend of the US Dollar during the week. • Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said on Thursday that the Fed will bring inflation back to its 2% target, but estimated it could take 1 - 2 years. • Chicago Fed President Goolsby said Thursday that policymakers will be able to cut interest rates if inflation continues to cool as it did last month.

This underscores the signal that interest rates may remain high. • Over the weekend, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said the Fed will wait until December before cutting interest rates. Federal Reserve policymakers have kept borrowing costs at their highest level in nearly a year and appear to be in no hurry to lower them. Just last week, Fed officials expected just one rate cut in 2024, down from three forecast in March.
