GOLD heads towards all-time levels with a more positive outlookOANDA:XAUUSD has recovered as US Treasury yields plummet amid a trade war, existential and dangerous. The increase in gold purchases by central banks has created more room for gold price increases.
US real yields, which are inversely correlated with gold prices, fell 8 basis points to 2.072%, which is positive for gold. The 10-year US Treasury yield fell 10 basis points to 4.519%.
Bloomberg said gold prices have stabilized near all-time highs after US President Trump ordered back-and-forth tariffs, increasing uncertainty in trade and the global economy.
Trump announced on Thursday local time that the United States will impose "reciprocal tariffs" on all countries exporting goods to the United States to restore a fair competitive environment in global trade, but has not yet given a specific implementation timeline.
This is a new escalation in the trade war after Trump announced an additional 25% tax on all steel and aluminum imported into the US.
The World Gold Council (WGC) revealed that central banks purchased more than 1,000 tons of gold for the third consecutive year in 2024. According to the World Gold Council, the amount of gold purchased by central banks increased by more than 54% year-on-year to 333 tons after Trump won the election.
Central banks, including China's increased gold holdings and expansion of exchange-traded funds backed by the metal, have also supported gold's 12% gain so far this year.

Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
Gold continues to rise for the second day after gaining support from the confluence of the upper channel edge and the 0.236% Fibonacci extension, and with its current position it has the conditions to continue rising with a target of all-time highs in the short term, more likely new era highs targeting around 2,952 USD.
The bullish technical structure has not changed, with the short-term trend highlighted by the price channel, while the Relative Strength Index is still pointing up with the green uptrend showing no signs of a possible downside correction.
During the day, as long as gold remains within the price channel, it still has a bullish outlook. Pullbacks do not see the RSI go below 80, and below EMA21 should only be considered a short-term correction and a short-term buying opportunity.
Along with that, notable levels will be listed as follows.
Support: 2,900 – 2,891USD
Resistance: 2,927 – 2,942 – 2,952USD

Gold Weekly Analysis – Bullish & Bearish ScenariosCurrent Market Structure:
Gold is trending upward within a well-defined weekly ascending channel and has not broken out yet.
The market is currently near the upper boundary of the channel, meaning a breakout or a potential rejection could occur.
Expected Movement This Week:
Bullish Scenario (Higher Probability If Momentum Holds):
A clean breakout above the channel resistance would signal continued bullish momentum.
The price could consolidate briefly at the breakout level before pushing higher toward $3,000+.
If a pullback happens after breaking out, we expect a retest of previous resistance (now support) before continuing upward.
Confirmation: Strong bullish candles with increasing volume.
Bearish Scenario (If Gold Fails to Break Above Resistance):
If gold fails to break out and rejects from the upper boundary, a correction is likely.
The first key downside target is around $2,760 (weekly level), aligning with previous structure.
A deeper decline could lead to $2,571, which is another weekly support zone.
Confirmation: A strong rejection wick, bearish engulfing pattern, or increased selling pressure.

GOLD patience needed until this Bull Flag targets 3080.Gold / XAUUSD is correcting aggressively today on the 1day timeframe with the 1day RSI neutralized from previously overbought to just bullish now.
This is so far the strongest correction since the rally started on the December 18th 2024 low.
Based on those parameters, we believe that this is a Bull Flag similar to late September's.
We expect it to be completed by the end of the month.
Buy and target 3035 (the 1.236 Fibonacci extension).

Profit taking action, GOLD decreased significantlyOANDA:XAUUSD fell significantly as investors took profits after hitting record highs, but remained optimistic as US President Donald Trump's new tariffs raised fears of a global trade war.
Trump has sharply increased tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 25% with "no exceptions or exemptions," a move he hopes will help struggling U.S. industries but could also spark a trade war on multiple fronts.
Traders will need to keep an eye on US inflation data today (Wednesday) for fresh clues on the outlook for interest rates in the world's largest economy.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank is in no rush to cut interest rates because the economy is "strong overall" and inflation remains above its 2% target.
Powell's comments were part of an opening statement he prepared for a Senate Banking Committee hearing.
Inflation data is in focus this trading day, and higher-than-expected inflation data could extend the Fed's pause on interest rate hikes, which could lead to a slowdown in gold's performance in the short term.
The impact is also reversed if inflation data is lower than expected, which further boosts market sentiment about the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates next quarter.
Gold is considered a hedge against inflation, but higher interest rates will reduce the appeal of this non-yielding asset.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold corrected sharply but in general the position and technical structure still support the possibility of price increases. While the trend from the short-term price channel remains stable and the Relative Strength Index has not provided a clear bearish signal.
At the same time, the support levels from the 0.382% and 0.236% Fibonacci extension positions are also slowing down the correction momentum. As long as gold remains within the price channel, the short-term technical outlook remains bullish.
The current downward corrections should be seen as an opportunity to buy. Notable locations will be listed as follows.
Support: 2,881 – 2,869USD
Resistance: 2,900 – 2,909USD

GOLD rises above $2,900 with further upside targetsUS President Donald Trump vowed to impose "retaliatory tariffs" on all countries that impose duties on US imports as early as Wednesday evening (February 12) local time, raising concerns about the expansion of the global trade war and possibly accelerating US inflation. This is beneficial for gold to recover quickly.
Trump's latest round of tariffs unsettled markets comes just as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares to visit the White House on Thursday. The Trump administration has complained that India's high tariffs have hindered U.S. imports.
Economists generally view tariffs as an inflation risk, with data released Wednesday showing U.S. consumer prices rose the most in nearly a year and a half in January.
OANDA:XAUUSD jumped $45 from Wednesday's low
After the release of stronger-than-expected US CPI data on Wednesday, spot gold prices fell sharply to $2,864 per ounce in early New York trading on Wednesday.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.5% month-on-month and 3.0% year-over-year in January. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expected the data to rise 0.3% month-on-month and 2.9% year-over-year.
Excluding volatile food and energy prices, core CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month and 3.3% year-on-year in January, while economists expected increases of 0.3% and 3.1%, respectively.
Economists have generally raised their inflation forecasts since Trump was elected out of concern that his policies, especially tariffs, could spark price pressures in the economy.
Gold is considered an inflation hedge, but because gold does not earn interest, a higher interest rate environment reduces its investment appeal.
However, fueled by safe-haven demand, gold prices have recovered strongly from lows. During the New York trading session on Wednesday, gold prices jumped above the original price of 2,900 USD and as of the time this article was completed it was trading at around 2,909 USD/ounce, up 45 Dollars compared to the level from yesterday's trading day.
Central banks' gold demand has increased as the World Gold Council (WGC) reported that central banks bought more than 1,000 tons of gold for the third consecutive year in 2024. According to the World Gold Council, central banks' gold purchases increased more than 54% year-on-year to 333 tons after Trump won the election.
Gold's recent rally has come alongside an influx of money into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) backed by the metal. According to Bloomberg calculations, global gold ETFs have grown more than 1% this year, reaching their highest level since November last year.
Technically on the daily chart, after OANDA:XAUUSD took support from the Fibonacci extension confluence with the upper edge of the price channel, it quickly recovered above the original price point of 2,900 USD. This was noted to readers in yesterday's edition.
Given its current position, it has room to continue rising with a target of around $2,927 in the short term, more than $2,952.
As long as gold remains within the price channel, the short-term uptrend will still prevail, while the Relative Strength Index has not shown any clear signs of a potential correction.
During the day, gold's uptrend will be noted again by the following technical levels.
Support: 2,900 – 2,891 – 2,869USD
Resistance: 2,927 – 2,952USD

Gold Options Activity Point to Continuing RallyNot a single macro portfolio manager was fired for adding gold to their portfolio over the last two years. Such has been gold’s stunning performance. Will Gold’s ascent continue?
Narratives and numbers signal unstoppable and solid bull run in gold for now.
BULL CASE REMAINS INTACT AND IS INTENFISYING
This paper will not delve much into fundamentals. We have covered it previously in Gold to Shine Bright on Fundamentals, Seasonality & Sentiments . In that we highlighted the three main forces at play: (a) Continued central bank purchases, (b) Rising consumer demand in China & India, and (c) Trump administration’s fiscal policies favouring gold.
In addition to the above, US Dollar weaponization, De-dollarisation fears, and Tariff tensions, serve as additional tailwinds. TradingView Wizard, Konhow , has comprehensively covered the historical impact of tariffs on Gold in his recent paper and video .
SENTIMENTS HAVE SURRENDERED IN FAVOR OF RISING GOLD
This research note will not dive into the weeds of technical analysis either. TradingView’s Technical Analysis dashboard summarises it all elegantly.
TradingView
Momentum is in favour. Oscillators are neutral indicating little risk of price reversal. Overall, sentiment remains bullish gold.
Gold prices as represented by CME Micro Gold Futures front month contract formed a golden cross on 10th January 2025. Since then, prices are up 8.5% as of 13th February 2025. Current prices are well above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day DMAs.
RSI is in overbought zone. Expect some pull back in gold prices from time to time on profit taking. But the upward trend is undeniable. The MACD shows that Gold momentum continues to be on the rise but with waning bullishness.

OPTIONS MARKETS ARE SIGNALLING A SOLID BULL RUN AHEAD
This paper aims to unpack recent activity in CME gold options market and its impact on prices. No contrary signals there either. Options market also signal bullish gold.
QuikStrike is a free-to-use tool for registered participants on the CME Group website. The tool provides a vast range of analytics to guide portfolio managers & traders to better comprehend the underlying market. Each report comes with a helpful user-guide to describe the data covered within the report.
Some key takeaways below:
Open Interest Profile page shows that as of close of markets on 11th February 2025, total call open interest (“OI” for short) stood at 634,815 lots across all expiries and strikes. Aggregate put IO totalled up to 357,305 lots resulting in a put-call ratio (p/c ratio) of 0.56.
Calls are options contract that represent a bullish view. While puts are contracts representing bearish outlook. At 0.56 p/c ratio, there are twice as many bullish positions for each bearish one.
Source: CME QuikStrike
Most Active Strikes allow portfolio managers and traders to analyse top strikes with shifts in open interest. Table below shows top 10 strikes registering the largest change in open interest between 4th February and 11th February.
Starting first with the Calls (left section of the table below), participants have been building up open interest in strikes 4000, 3200, 3250, 4500, 4032, and 3,975.
Call options have also booked reduction in open interest at strikes 3000, 3075, 3100 and 3025. On a net-basis, open interest is up 10,312 lots across these top ten strikes over various expiries this year.
Source: CME QuikStrike
Puts (right section of the table above) shows rising build up in open interest for strikes ranging from 2740 to 2880.
Collectively, this indicates that market participants are rooting for gold prices to rise through USD 3,000/oz and to even rally past USD 4,500/oz. Will that happen? Only time will tell.
Given that risk managers are establishing puts at such high levels point to strong support for gold prices at current levels.
In a nutshell, current prices are not only formidably comfortable but the potential to rise is also highly probable.
Shifting the attention to volatility, the CME Group also offers CVol which is another free-to-use tool. Portfolio managers and traders can visualise implied volatility behaviour on this tool.
Source: CME CVol
The GCVL which is the Gold CVol index shows implied volatility at 17.65 and with a positive skew of 1.08. Implied volatility easing even at an elevated prices indicates that market participants are comfortable at current price levels and do not foresee immediate large price moves.
Skew on the CVol tool is defined as Up Var minus Down Var. Up Var is the likelihood of the price rising while Down Var measures the likelihood of prices falling. A positive skew shows that the market is pricing a higher likelihood of rising prices relative to a down move.
FUND FLOWS INTO GOLD ETF IS UP 47% YOY
Among its rich set of features, TradingView also shows daily ETF fund flows . GLD is the prominent ETF commanding assets under management (AUM) of USD 80.65 billion.
This time last year, GLD ETF showed AUM of USD 54.77 billion. Fund inflows have spiked 47.25% over the past 12 months.

GOLD - WEEKLY SUMMARY 3.2-7.2 / FORECAST🏆 GOLD – 13th week of the base cycle (15-20+ weeks), 3rd phase of the cycle. The pivot forecast on February 3 worked as a reversal of Monday’s overnight tariff hysteria. The major trend from the December 18 extreme forecast continues.
⚠️ By Friday’s close, we saw a breakout of the previous top at the October 28 extreme forecast level (2800 on the current futures contract). This level may now become strong support. I believe strong hands didn’t fall for the tariff hysteria and held their long positions from the January 29 extreme forecast. Next extreme forecast: March 3. Next pivot forecast: February 11.
GOLD skyrocketed then corrected down, main trend structureOANDA:XAUUSD Spot trading fluctuated strongly, sometimes soaring to a record high, but then plummeting nearly 40 dollars to the highest level. However, gold prices still increased during the day.
On Monday local time, US President Trump signed an executive order announcing a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States. Trump said there will be "no exceptions or exemptions" to these requirements. Trump also said he is considering imposing tariffs on cars, french fries and medicine, and will hold meetings on cars, medicine and french fries over the next four weeks.
During the Asian trading session on Tuesday, gold prices soared to 2,942.72 Dollar/ounce, setting a new record high. But then the price of gold suddenly dropped sharply, to the lowest level of 2,905.10 Dollar/ounce.
Gold prices then recovered and are currently at about 2,922 Dollar/ounce, up 0.49% on the day.
A stronger dollar, coupled with overbought conditions on the daily chart, has prompted some gold profit-taking. However, Trump-related worries seem to be limiting the downside of gold prices and is still the most potential support at present, which can impact gold's price increase at any time.
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will attend congressional hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the market is also paying attention to whether Powell's policy stance will affect gold price trends.
Powell will testify before the Senate Banking Committee on February 11. Testify before the House Financial Services Committee the next day. This is the first time he has answered questions from congressional delegates since July last year.
Powell's speech will be closely watched for clues about the Fed's interest rate cut roadmap, which will in turn affect the short-term dynamics of the US Dollar and create new directional momentum for gold prices.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
Gold has initially achieved the conditions for a new bullish cycle by breaking above the rising price channel, with a price action above the 0.618% Fibonacci extension level that will help it potentially move towards the $2,950 – 2,952 level which is the area of the 0.786% Fibonacci extension.
For the Relative Strength Index RSI, there is still no signal indicating the possibility of a downward correction. The signal for a downward correction is that the RSI bends and falls below the 80 level.
During the day, as long as gold remains in/above the price channel, the main outlook remains technically bullish. Notable levels will be listed again as follows.
Support: 2,909 – 2,900USD
Resistance: 2,927 – 2,950 – 2,952USD

Renewing daily new highs (ATH)...
Hello, traders.
If you "Follow", you can always get new information quickly.
Please click "Boost" as well.
Have a nice day today.
-------------------------------------
(GCL1! 1M chart)
GCL1! is renewing daily new highs (ATH).
It is not easy to analyze or trade these stocks.
Since it is supported and rising near the right Fibonacci ratio point of 1 (2828.6), there is a possibility that it will rise to the Fibonacci ratio range of 1.618 (3395.3) ~ 1.618 (3457.6).
However, since it is a state where it is not strange to fall at any time, you should think about a countermeasure for the fall when starting a transaction.
-
(1D chart)
Most chart analysts explain the current chart analysis by substituting issues other than the chart.
If you get used to this method, you may find issues other than the chart first without looking at the chart and analyze the chart while being obsessed with your subjective thoughts.
If you do that, you may analyze the chart in the wrong direction because you will interpret the chart with your subjective thoughts instead of looking at the chart as it is, so you need to be careful.
When analyzing charts, you must first look at the chart and analyze it, and then look for issues other than the chart when you have time.
-
In order to trade a stock that is renewing its ATH, you should check for support when it shows a downward trend and start.
However, since it is renewing its ATH, there is no support or resistance point to check for support.
To compensate for this, we use the 5EMA+StErr indicator and the Price Channel indicator.
Therefore, when the price falls and touches the 5EMA+StErr indicator or the Price Channel indicator, you can find the trading point depending on whether there is support.
-
(30m chart)
You can trade when it breaks out of the section made up of the Price Channel indicator or the box section made up of the HA-High and HA-Low indicators.
Of course, trading is also possible within the box section.
At this time, you should be careful that the trend can change when it passes the MS-Signal indicator.
When you touch the 5EMA+StErr indicator on the 1D chart, you can check whether there is support and trade.
-
Thank you for reading to the end.
I hope you have a successful trade.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Feb 10 - Feb 14]This week, rising Treasury yields and the threat of a global trade war are contributing to a stagflation environment, causing investors to rush into gold, and spot gold prices at one point climbed as high as $2,886/oz.
US President Donald Trump has launched trade war 2.0 with the imposition of strong tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China. The 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico were postponed for a month, but the 10% tariffs on China took effect. China responded with 10-15% tariffs on US energy and agricultural products, effective from February 10, 2025. Trade war 2.0 expands in scope compared to 2018, includes many major trading partners and takes place in parallel with the US-China technology war. Countries with large trade surpluses with the US face the risk of becoming new tariff targets.
If negotiations between the US and its partners fail to reach an agreement, retaliation could escalate, disrupting global trade, weakening economic growth and creating inflationary pressures, leading to stagflation, thereby boosting gold prices. On the contrary, if the Trump administration "cools down" the trade war by reaching an agreement after imposing tariffs, gold prices may decrease due to weakening shelter demand.
Some economic data affecting gold prices next week:
Tuesday: US Federal Reserve (FED) Chairman Jerome Powell testifies before the Senate Banking Committee.
Wednesday: US consumer price index (CPI), FED Chairman Jerome Powell testifies before the House Financial Services Committee.
Thursday: US producer price index (PPI), US weekly unemployment benefit applications.
Friday: US retail sales
📌Technically, gold prices still maintain an upward trend in the medium and long term. However, downward corrections can occur at any time considering shorter time frames such as H4, D1.
On the H4 chart, the price can adjust to around the hard resistance level which is also the dynamic resistance level around 2790 before entering an upward trend again.
Notable technical levels are listed below.
Support: 2,844 – 2,834USD

GOLD recovered strongly, Trump stimulated risk aversionDuring the Asian trading session on Monday (February 10), OANDA:XAUUSD Spot has recovered strongly after a short decline. Gold price has now recovered to about 2,874 USD/ounce, a sharp increase of about 15 USD during the day.
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday local time that he would announce a 25% tariff on all imported steel and aluminum on Monday.
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that the tariffs would apply to metal imports from every country. He did not specify when the tariffs would be applied. Trump also said he would announce corresponding tariffs later this week for countries that impose tariffs on U.S. imports.
These comments stimulated the market's risk aversion, the Asia-Pacific stock market and the US stock futures market fell, and the two safe-haven assets, the US dollar and gold, recovered together.
On the daily chart, OANDA:XAUUSD recovered after receiving support from the upper channel edge, and in terms of technical structure nothing changed from previous releases with a bullish bias dominating the technical chart.
Maintaining price activity above the 0.236% Fibonacci extension provides the conditions for continued upside with the next target being at $2,891 the 0.382% Fibonacci extension, more so than the original price point of $2,900.
With the price channel making a short-term uptrend, along with the Relative Strength Index providing no signs of a strong downside correction, gold is expected to continue searching for new all-time highs. The positions will be noted as follows.
Support: 2,869 – 2,844 – 2,834USD
Resistance: 2,891 – 2,900USD

XAUUSD correction to the 1H MA50 technically needed.Gold (XAUUSD) stayed unaffected by the Tariff War, as we mentioned on last week's analysis (Feb 03, see chart below) and easily hit our 2845 Channel Up Higher High Target:
This time a new, more aggressive Channel Up, on the 1H time-frame has emerged and is already on its 2nd Bullish Leg. Technically, the 1H RSI being overbought at 80.00, calls for a short-term correction.
We expect a technical pull-back to the 1H MA50 (blue trend-line), which will be the next buy entry fir the final +3.90% run and a Channel Up Higher High at 2945.

Gold Unstoppable to get to 3000, but we might see a pullbackOn Gold futures I clearly see this going for new historical highs, but since everyone is joining the ride a pullback is around the corner.
Liquidity has just been swept on the 4Hr, so this would be a perfect scenario to squeeze the longs all the way down to a bullish order block/demand zone at 2853,2
Weekly Forex Forecast: GOLD & SILVER Are Bullish! BUY Them!This forecast is for the week of Feb 10-14th.
Gold and Silver are both bullish, with Gold being the stronger of the two. I am not interested in selling either until I see a bearish BOS, as the swing structure is bullish, and the trend is up. Wait until the fractal structure is aligned with the overall market structure, which would make for higher probability buys to follow the trend.

The 3rd Major Pivot in Gold’s Uptrend - Since Trade War in 2018We just witnessed the start of another pivot in gold when Trump won the U.S. presidential election in November 2024. My gold trading strategy has always focused on buying dips while keeping any short-selling opportunities short-term.
The chart above clearly illustrates three major V-shaped formations in gold. After each tariff or trade war, a V-shaped pattern formed in the same month the policy was initiated, followed by a subsequent uptrend.
Recently, I published a video analyzing other significant tariffs since the U.S.-China trade war began in 2018. We observed a consistent pattern: after each tariff or trade war, the same month of policy initiation saw the formation of a V-shaped trough, followed by an uptrend.
This time, the V-shaped trough occurred during the U.S. presidential election month. The right side of this V-shape was completed with the announcement of 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, signaling the expansion of the trade war beyond China.
The consequence of trade wars is inflation, and gold has historically served as a leading indicator of this trend.
If the trade war persists and intensifies, a continued uptrend in gold seems inevitable. Analyzing the long-term monthly chart using my parallel channel approach, we observed gold prices encountering resistance around $2,600 in September 2024 and beyond. However, by the close of January, the price action provided a clear confirmation of the ongoing gold uptrend. Gold firmly closed above $2,600, reaching $2,835 for COMEX Micro Gold Futures.
On the 3-hour chart, I have provided another set of parallel channels as a guide to track support and resistance levels as gold trends further.
As gold prices continue to climb, their notional value can become quite large for retail traders. COMEX Micro Gold Futures, being 1/10th the size of the regular gold contract, is a better option for me when the next buying opportunity arises. Recently, CME launched a new contract—a pocket-sized one-ounce gold contract. One key to successful trading is selecting the right contract size for oneself, which is crucial for effective risk management.
Once again, my strategy for gold remains the same: focus on buying dips while keeping any short-selling opportunities short-term.

Strong correction, quick recovery, pay attention to NFP dataOANDA:XAUUSD Strong correction then quickly recovered and returned to close to $2,878, an important technical level for a new up cycle to open.
In economic data released Thursday, the U.S. Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims rose 11,000 to 219,000 last week, compared with an expected 213,000.
The data has weighed on the US Dollar Index (Dxy) for some time, which hit a two-year high of 110.17 on January 13 but has fallen 2% since then.
In the absence of tariff-related news, the market is focused on today's US nonfarm payrolls report, which will be the next big influence on the US monetary policy outlook.
In the latest news, the Federal Reserve announced on Thursday local time that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will testify in the US Congress next week. This will be the first time he has answered questions from members of Congress since last July.
Powell will testify before the Senate Banking Committee next Tuesday and testified before the House Financial Services Committee the following day.
Before the end of last year, the Fed cut interest rates by 100 basis points in three meetings. In January, the Fed voted to leave interest rates unchanged between 4.25% and 4.5%. At the press conference following last month's interest rate decision, Powell said the Fed was in no hurry to cut interest rates further.
US President Trump has toned down his criticism of Powell and his colleagues, which may help Powell's appearance go more smoothly. On Sunday, Trump said the Fed "did the right thing" by pausing interest rates.
According to LSEG data, the market now expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points in July and a total of 46 basis points in December.
Markets today belong to the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data, US nonfarm payrolls are expected to fall to 170,000 from 256,000 in January. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.1%.
The strong labor market is boosting economic growth and prompting the Fed to pause interest rate cuts as it assesses the inflationary impact of Trump's fiscal, trade and immigration policies.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
Gold decreased and corrected then recovered when it gained support from the upper edge of the price channel, the Fibonacci extension 0.618% and Fibonacci 0.50%. Now that the rapid recovery has brought it back close to the target level of $2,878, the Fibonacci extension position is 0.786% and if the gold price is trading above this key technical level it will have conditions for a new bullish cycle with a target of around $2,900 in the short term, more than $2,918.
The relative strength index (RSI) is operating in the overbought area, but does not show any signs of a possible correction; a correction signal will be identified when the RSI folds below the 80 level.
During the day, the uptrend still dominates the technical chart, so the current pullbacks should only be considered a short-term correction without changing the trend. Along with that, notable locations will be listed as follows.
Support: 2,846 – 2,834 – 2,824USD
Resistance: 2,878 – 2,900 – 2,918USD
