GOLD → A retest of bullish trend support. What to expect? FX:XAUUSD reaches the 2400 mark on Friday before facing a profit-taking. There is a possibility that traders closed positions before the strong news that occurred from Saturday to Sunday. There is no correlation with the dollar now, which makes it easier for technical analysis. In fact, we have a strong bullish trend and strong support in the form of the 2325-2330 zone and an ascending channel line. From Saturday to Sunday there was the development of another geopolitical problem in the Middle East and it is related to the armed crisis between Iran and Israel, which in general can only affect the appreciation of the metal. Resistance levels: 2365, 2375 Support levels: 2335, 2330, 2325 In general, we should consider a retest of the trend support or 2330 and look at the price reaction to these levels. Most likely, the trend may continue. Regards R. Linda!

XAUUSD Is this a legitimate correction?There is no doubt that Gold (XAUUSD) has entered a new Bull Cycle after last month's bullish break-out. Last week though it closed its 1W candle almost on a Doji which can potentially be a trend reversal, at least on the short-term. As you can see on this 1W chart, which displays the similarities between the previous Cycle and the current, such 1W candles have been on global market tops: May 01 2023, January 16 2023, March 07 2022 etc. If we are indeed at the phase past the Accumulation (Rectangle pattern) simular to February 2020, then we can expect a short-term correction. Of course the March 2020 price collapse that touched the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) had solely to do with the COVID asset-wide crash. Still though, in February 2020, the market posted a red 1W candle that erased the gains of two weeks in a row. As a result, if the current week doesn't post a new High, we expect a pull-back towards at least 2250. Beyond that, in order to approach the 1W MA50 again, we need a fundamental catalyst. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

GOLD → Profit-taking and another war. Opening with a GAP?FX:XAUUSD updates another high to 2431.4 and then begins to shed heavily amid profit taking by traders. The weekend also proved to be fundamentally important for the markets, which may react strongly. Most of the nearly $100 drop is due to profit taking by traders as the price reaches psychological levels, but the drop to 2300-2350 allows to find new buyers at relatively cheap prices. From Saturday to Sunday the next and not unimportant armed conflict between Iran and Israel is developing, which in general can affect the prices of commodities and futures quite strongly. On H1 the price is declining to the trend support and is testing the liquidity area of 2330-2350. In all likelihood, the market may open with a gap on Monday amid the crisis in the Middle East. The area below 2328 may still remain protected and play an important role in price formation. Resistance levels: 2354, 2400, 2428 Support levels: 2328, 2303 Fundamentally everything is quite complicated and not stable, Gold still plays an important role as a hedge asset and interest in the metal is getting stronger, the growth from 2300-2350 is likely to continue COMEX:GC1!

GOLD breaks records every day, big data and events are comingOANDA:XAUUSD continued to set new records yesterday, driven by buying momentum and geopolitical risks, while markets focused on the Federal Reserve's policy meeting minutes and U.S. inflation data. America to seek direction on the US interest rate cut timetable. Federal Reserve policy meeting minutes and US consumer price index (CPI) data will be released on Wednesday. Gold is considered a hedge against inflation and geopolitical instability, but higher interest rates tend to make holding this non-yielding asset less attractive. It seems like any news about the US is a reason to buy. Signs of a strong economy and tamed inflation, underscoring gold's store of value as a store of value. Weak inflation increases expectations that the Federal Reserve will soon cut interest rates, which also makes the US dollar less attractive. According to a survey of economists, the US core CPI in March will increase by 0.3% over the same period last month, slightly lower than the increase of 0.4% in February; Meanwhile, overall CPI is expected to increase by 3.4%, higher than last month's 3.2%. If data shows a return to inflation, this will threaten market sentiment and could create downward pressure on gold prices and create a downward correction amid the recent hot rally. Analyze technical prospects OANDA:XAUUSD On the chart it is difficult to find a reasonable stop for expectations of a significant downward adjustment in gold prices when every day is a new all-time peak. In the short term, the fluctuation range at the lower edge near the 2340USD area is noted as the nearest support level and if gold can move below this level, it will have technical conditions to reduce the price more. Since the Relative Strength Index has been operating in the overbought area for a long time, if gold falls below $2,240, open positions with expectations of a downward adjustment will become more grounded. Currently, gold still has all the factors supporting a technical price increase with a short-term trend from the price channel, a medium and long-term uptrend from the EMA. Meanwhile, the nearest resistance level is at 2403 USD, the Fibonacci confluence extends 1.618%. This period is a very difficult period when gold has had a long period of hot growth without any clear adjustment rhythm. Following the uptrend can be risky when a downward adjustment occurs. More accurately, "I want to buy, but any position is only short-term and doesn't feel safe."

🖥 GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [April 08 - April 12]This week, international gold prices continued to increase sharply, from 2,228 USD/oz to 2,330 USD/oz and closed the week at 2,329 USD/oz. There are currently 3 main factors that are causing gold prices to increase sharply beyond expectations. There is the need to buy gold by central banks, the upcoming interest rate cuts by the FED and other central banks around the world, and finally, extremely strong geopolitical tensions on many fronts. battles, including the Middle East conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war. Of the three factors mentioned above, the biggest concern is the significant increase in geopolitical tensions related to the conflict in the Middle East as Iran may retaliate against Israel for the country's suspicion of bombing the University of Israel. Iranian embassy in Syria. This has significantly increased the role of gold as a haven. In addition, the purchase of gold by central banks will also create long-term leverage on gold prices, especially when central banks of the BRICS bloc are stepping up gold purchases to ensure their own payment system. to avoid dependence on the US and the West. In addition, when central banks, especially the FED, begin the process of cutting their basic interest rates, gold prices will also gain momentum. Notably, the US labor market in March unexpectedly grew strongly, with non-farm employment figures (NFP) reaching 303,000 jobs, much higher than Reuters' forecast of about 200,000 jobs. This will give more motivation for the FED to cut interest rates for the first time next June after a long series of interest rate increases. From the beginning of 2024 until now, international gold prices have increased about 17% after surpassing the resistance mark of 2,000 USD/ounce in mid-February. Thus, compared to the above increases, international gold prices will remain There is plenty of room to increase further when the FED cuts interest rates this year. Notably, the strong increase in gold prices often takes place before the FED starts cutting interest rates. March CPI and PPI - important US inflation data, published next week may also have a strong impact on gold prices next week. According to forecasts, US CPI in March will increase by about 0.2%. If this data is as expected, or even increases below 0.3%, it will be positive news for gold prices next week, because this data will prompt the FED's plan to cut interest rates in June. to become more convincing. On the contrary, if March CPI increases to 0.4% or higher, it will be a matter of concern. This makes it possible for the FED to continue delaying its plan to cut interest rates, negatively impacting gold prices next week. 📌Technically, gold price has increased beyond the medium-term price increase channel on the weekly chart, which is a positive signal, showing that the gold price increase in the medium and long term will continue. However, the price has gone quite far from the moving averages, while the RSI... is already in the overbought zone. This poses a risk of profit taking for gold prices in the short term. Accordingly, the important support levels for gold prices next week are at 2,250-2,200-2,100 USD/oz. Meanwhile, the 2,400 USD/oz area will be an important resistance zone. The trading plan for next week will consider the buying watch around 2250, the selling watch around the round resistance mark of 2400.

GOLD approaches $2,356 again, geopolitics, CPI dataOANDA:XAUUSD has corrected from all-time highs but still maintains a bullish trend. Gold prices are expected to reach additional record highs in the near future. Tensions in the Middle East pushed gold prices up sharply. Hamas official Ali Baraka said Hamas had rejected Israel's latest ceasefire proposal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a video statement on the evening of April 8, local time, saying: “If the Israeli army wants to completely defeat Hamas, it must enter Rafah, the southernmost point of the Strip Palestinian Gaza, and conduct significant activities, this will happen and will be announced in advance.” Netanyahu also said he had received a detailed report on the negotiations in Cairo and that Israel "is continuously working to achieve its goals, starting with the release of all detainees and winning complete victory over Hamas." Markets are also watching key US inflation data due out this week. Inflation data is expected to provide further guidance on the Fed's interest rate cut roadmap and could be the next driver for gold prices. The US consumer price index (CPI) for March will be released on Wednesday. According to a survey of economists, the US general CPI in March will increase by 0.3% over the previous month, slightly lower than 0.4% in February; US core CPI in March is expected to increase by 0.3% compared to the previous month. Analysis of gold price prospects OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, although gold has corrected since approaching the 1% Fibonacci extension at $2,356, which readers noticed in the weekly edition, it has since taken support from area of ​​the 0.786% Fibonacci level and increased again to approach the $2,356 level once again. A position being tested many times means that the effectiveness of that technical position will no longer be much. However, at the present time, the level of 2,356USD still serves as the closest notable resistance level. The main trend of gold price remains unchanged with the main uptrend from all technical indicators. Expecting a downside correction should be targeted in the short term with the nearest support at the $2,311 – $2,300 area, while defending open positions expecting a downside correction should be placed behind the level. 2,356 USD. During the day, the technical outlook of gold prices will be noticed by the following price levels. Support: 2328 - 2313 - 2303USD Resistance: 2348 - 2354 - 2360USD In recent times, we (Traders) always have to be mentally ready to face major fluctuations in the market, it has become very normal for gold to move 1% to over 2% every working day.

GOLD → Testing 2400. Can the rally continue? FX:XAUUSD reaches our goal of 2400. The psychological level is tested, but 2400 does not mean expensive. The growth may continue as the potential and interest is still huge. From 2400 a correction to the nearest area of liquidity can be formed. The market needs to rest and accumulate a bit before breaking through 2400 to continue further upside as fundamentally, economically and geopolitically nothing has changed. High interest, inflation problems continue to warm the price to further strengthening. Before the growth the price may correct to 2383, 2375 or 2365, or consolidation between these levels, after which the price may return to retest 2400. Resistance levels: 2400, 2425 Support levels: 2383, 2375 Technically, we should wait for the continuation of growth after a small pullback. At the moment there are no reasons for a reversal or a strong fall. The fundamental background and general potential remains the same TVC:DXY COMEX_MINI:MGC1! COMEX:GC1! Regards R. Linda!

GOLD → Fierce bulls continue to hold the price on the newsFX:XAUUSD is still holding very strong even amid strong news. The range of 2365 - 2328 is being formed. Buyers and sellers are fighting for the lower level. Today the market is waiting for PMI and Initial Jobless Claims. Yesterday we got a high CPI of 0.4% instead of 0.3% and an inflation rate of 3.5%, which is a generally unsatisfactory scenario for the market and against this background the dollar is strengthening strongly. Gold shook a bit, but the bulls continue to hold the price above 2328. It is not known how long they will last, as the next batch of important news is ahead. Gold may test the support as part of the correction, but on the background of high interest in gold as a hedge asset amid geopolitical and economic problems, theoretically, gold may continue its growth. Resistance levels: 2345, 2365, 2375 Support levels: 2328, 2303 At the moment the price is in a range. A breakdown of support may weaken the price a bit to 2300, but a breakdown of resistance may push the price up. Regards R. Linda!

$2,300 hit amid gold's steep riseShortly after the futures market opened, gold reached our long-time-awaited price target of $2,300 and established a new all-time high at $2,305 before retreating slightly lower. We continue to be bullish on gold in the long term and believe it can reach significantly higher price tags ($2,500 and higher) due to future rate cuts, sticky inflation, and a weak U.S. dollar. Nevertheless, despite our bullish beliefs, there are certain developments in the market to consider and watch out for. According to the World Gold Council's report earlier this year (and information from Metals Focus and ICE Benchmark Administration), gold total demand rose approximately 3% YoY in 2023. However, what is intriguing about this figure is that the majority of the mentioned sectors in the report experienced year-over-year declines in demand that same year, including electronics, dentistry, technology, jewelry fabrication, gold bars, central bank purchases, ETFs, and investment. In fact, only four sectors showed positive gains, with most of the demand coming from over-the-counter and other (recording a 753% rise YoY); the rest of the categories that gained include industrial demand, imitation coins, and jewelry consumption (these rises are notably smaller though). Now, with gold being up 26% merely in the past six months, the question stands as to whether there will be enough demand from over-the-counter (and other sectors, which seems unlikely) in the coming months as well because gold’s elevated price (perhaps coupled with slowing down economic activity in certain parts of the world) seems to be already taking some toll on the demand side. Besides that, while bullish and still leaving some room for the upside, multiple technical indicators on daily and weekly time frames show overbought conditions that should not be overlooked, especially with gold’s lengthy history of steep rises being shortly followed by volatile drops. Furthermore, as we outlined numerous times before, the stock market’s relentless rise and the growing odds of correction threaten gold’s performance with each step higher (in the case of a substantial correction or selloff in the stock market, gold will likely be negatively affected). Illustration 1.01 As gold’s price explores uncharted waters, volume continues to increase on the daily graph, which is positive; a declining volume and rising price would be questionable. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 shows the daily chart of XAUUSD and simple support/resistance levels derived from past peaks and troughs.

GOLD → How will CPI affect gold? Growth, slowdown or correction?FX:XAUUSD continues to grow. Since the opening of the session the price has been testing 2350 but has not been able to update the maximum yet, having formed a correction to MA-50. CPI is ahead and the market stops and goes into a waiting mode. There is a huge imbalance in the market. The news can provoke strong sell-offs, provided that the price breaks through at least one zone of liquidity, for example 2338-2328, then the activation of orders will provoke a strong impulse to these areas. But, the news may also provoke the continuation of growth to 2400. Fundamentally, traders are waiting for the CPI to drop to 0.3% and this is a rather sharp decline amid the speeches of the Fed representatives. Technically, gold is still strongly bullish and continues to attract interest. Resistance levels: 2354, 2375, 2400 Support levels: 2328.4, 2303.7 Today all the attention is not on the technical component of the market, but on the fundamental one. Gold may react either by continuing its strong growth or by temporarily slowing down and going into a state of consolidation. Regards R. Linda!

GOLD increased sharply despite rising US bond yieldsThe week ahead presents many ‘high importance’ risk events ranging from US CPI data to central bank decisions in Canada, New Zealand and the European Union. The FOMC minutes of the March meeting will also provide more insight on Fed thinking, although, the trend of hotter US data may diminish the impact of what was discussed during the March meeting. TVC:DXY IN FOCUS AHEAD OF CPI DATA, NFP BOOST PROVED SHORT-LIVED Friday’s hotter-than-expected jobs data for March initially sent the dollar higher but the catalyst failed to hold into the close. US CPI data will definitely draw a huge focus from the market due to the stubborn PCE figures and generally robust US data that may delay rate cuts even further. THE RISK OF A BROADER CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST TRIGGERED OANDA:XAUUSD SAFE HAVEN PUSH Gold has gone from strength to strength despite rising US yields. The greenback (DXY) registered a minor decline last week but US 2-year and 10-year treasury yields rose for the week. The prospect of rates remaining on hold for longer, has the potential to see more hawkish repricing for treasuries that increases the opportunity cost of holding the non-interest bearing commodity. Recent escalations in eastern Europe and the Middle East raise the allure of gold due to its safe haven properties but the market has returned to massively overbought territory, hinting at a potential cooling off period at the start of the week in the absence of further escalation.

GOLD stopped its decline and rebounded strongly againToday's world gold price is listed on Kitco at 2,175 USD/ounce, up 17 USD/ounce compared to early yesterday morning. World gold prices rebounded due to the weakening of the USD as investors still hope that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates in June despite high inflation in the US. Meanwhile, escalating geopolitical tensions cause safe-haven demand for gold bars to remain. World gold prices rebounded due to the weakening of the USD as investors still hope that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates in June despite high inflation in the US. Meanwhile, escalating geopolitical tensions cause safe-haven demand for gold bars to remain. Currently, there will be 2 scenarios for bullish gold speculators. If the Fed cuts interest rates, gold will skyrocket. If the interest rate cut scenario does not take place, concerns about inflation could also push gold higher. As of March 13, market indicators based on signals from the CME Fedwatch tool showed that there was a 64.7% chance that the Fed would lower interest rates at its meeting on June 12 with a cut of 25 to 50 points. percent, slightly lower than the 68.7% recorded on March 6. The possibility that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged at the March 21 meeting is up to 99%, while the possibility of not reducing interest rates at the May meeting is 89.6%. In the second half of the year, the Fed is forecast to enter a cycle of interest rate cuts and precious metals will be strongly supported. Gold is forecast to reach 2,200-2,400 USD/ounce in 2024.

GOLD → The target is the same. Waiting for a breakoutFX:XAUUSD continues to grow. Yesterday there was an emphasis on the liquidity area located near the previously broken channel boundary and the level of 2328. A false breakdown resumed the rise and today the price reached 2354. Since the opening of the session, the price is heading again and testing the new global high formed on Monday. Based on the fundamental reasons and technical component at the moment the growth will continue. It is worth emphasizing on 2354.

Support levels: 2328.4, 2342 Technically, a small correction or a pre-breakout flat may follow from 2354 before the subsequent growth towards 2400.

GOLD retreated from the threshold of 2,305 USDUS NONFARM PAYROLLS – OANDA:XAUUSD - The U.S. dollar and gold prices will be very sensitive to the upcoming U.S. jobs report - Market expectations suggest the U.S. economy created 200,000 payrolls in March - Strong job growth should be positive for the U.S. dollar but bearish for gold prices OANDA:XAUUSD corrected as the US Dollar recovered due to hawkish comments from Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari. Kashkari warned that interest rate cuts this year may not happen without progress on inflation. He stated that if inflation trends continue to move sideways, cutting interest rates would be questionable. Kashkari finds the inflation data for January and February worrying and wants to see more progress before considering rate cuts. Kashkari is currently a hawkish representative on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), but he does not have the right to vote on monetary policy this year. Gold investors are currently focused on the US nonfarm payrolls report released today. Economists predict 200,000 new jobs will be created in March. NAVIGATING THE POTENTIAL MARKET REACTIONS How the markets respond to the NFP data will largely depend on whether the numbers exceed or fall short of expectations: Strong Report: A surprisingly strong jobs report could signal a resilient economy, leading the U.S. central bank to hold off on plans to ease interest rates imminently. This scenario should be bullish for the U.S. dollar, but is likely to put downward pressure on precious metals like gold and silver. Weak Report: A disappointing NFP release might indicate a cooling labor market. This could bolster market expectations for earlier interest rate cuts by the Fed, strengthening the case for a June move. Such a development could lead to a weaker U.S. dollar, providing potential support for gold and silver prices. OANDA:XAUUSD FORECAST - TECHNICAL ANALYSIS On the daily chart, Gold is experiencing bearish corrections after approaching the 0.786% Fibonacci Extension noticed with the Previous Strategy yesterday and it is also above the initial notable support area about 2,265USD. If the gold price is limited to downward adjustments and returns to above the 0.618% Fibonacci extension level, it will again have conditions to increase in price in the short term with the target level maintained at around 2,300 - 2,311 USD. Meanwhile, even if the $2,265 level is broken below, gold still has many other notable technical supports such as the 0.50% Fibonacci extension level and the main uptrend from price channel will not change. During the day, the technical outlook for gold prices is still heavily tilted towards the possibility of price increases and notable levels will be listed as follows. Support: 2,265 – 2,250USD Resistance: 2,275 – 2,305USD

GOLD setting a new highest peak in historyOANDA:XAUUSD market continues its unstoppable trend, hitting a record high and up nearly 5% from last Friday. Gold prices continue to benefit from escalating geopolitical tensions, although the US March jobs report lent support to the USD. Gold prices reached a new high despite strong US nonfarm payrolls data. The report showed an increase of 303,000 jobs in March, surpassing expectations. This suggests the Fed may be patient in fighting inflation. Although gold prices initially decreased, they later recovered and rose by over 1.5%. The market's short-term reaction indicates a demand for shelter. The main factors driving gold price increases are starting to take effect more and there is more room for the next price increase. Issues such as rising tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine have increased the appeal of gold. Gold prices had their third consecutive weekly increase, after a series of recent records. As geopolitical tensions in the Middle East heat up, gold's safe-haven function will gradually become more effective. Data from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) shows that for the week ending April 2, speculative net long positions in COMEX gold futures increased by 20,493 lots to 178,213 lots . Notable economic data & events next week Wednesday: US Consumer Price Index (CPI), Bank of Canada monetary policy decision Thursday: ECB monetary policy decision, US core PPI, US weekly initial jobless claims Friday: University of Michigan preliminary data on consumer sentiment Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD Gold continuously creates new all-time highs. After gaining support from the 2,265 USD level, gold continued to break the peak and also broke the important resistance level at the Fibonacci 0.786% price point of 2,311 USD. Note to readers in the previous issue. Gold now qualifies for a new bullish cycle as the next technical level in focus could be towards the $2,356 price point of the 1% Fibonacci extension. The $2,311 – $2,300 level becomes the closest support after the above break, and a bearish correction is possible only if gold manages to bring price activity below the 0.786% Fibonacci level, even in the case of a bearish correction. Gold price will also be limited by the 0.618% Fibonacci level and the price point of 2,265USD. In the coming time, the main trend of gold price will still be the upward trend from price channel in the short term and price channel in the long term. Notable technical levels are listed below. Support: 2,311 – 2,300 – 2,275 Resistance: 2,346 - 2,356

Gold rebounded after falling at the beginning of the sessionGold price today April 8, 2024 on the world market increased dramatically, reaching a new record level of nearly 2,342 USD/ounce after adjusting downward in the morning. Gold prices set a record thanks to high trading volume after US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized that recent data will not change the overall economic situation. The US economy continues to grow positively, experts say the Fed still maintains its view on adjusting interest rates this year. Strong money flows are flowing into gold. Technically, gold prices may decrease next week. But according to this expert, the technical chart has no meaning right now, central banks continue to buy, which causes gold prices to still increase. In addition, increasing tensions in the Middle East also boost the demand for safe assets such as gold. Strong buying by central banks and speculative activity are supporting gold prices.

GOLD new all-time high, technical area can make correctionsOANDA:XAUUSD continues to make new all-time highs, while Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has reiterated that recent job growth data and higher-than-expected inflation data will not materially change the the general situation of economic policy this year (the Fed is expected to start its interest rate cutting cycle in June). Fed Jerome Powell Powell said that “if the economy expands as we expect,” he and his colleagues at the Fed largely agree that lower policy rates would be appropriate “sometime this year.” ”. Speeches from Federal Reserve officials, strong jobs data and a decline in business activity in the services sector weighed on the dollar. A slight decline in the US Dollar will create a boost for safe-haven precious metals. Investors still expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates for the first time at its policy meeting on June 11-12, although recent strong economic data has tempered expectations. Overall, it doesn't have much impact. Gold, a hedge against inflation and a safe haven in times of political and economic uncertainty, has risen more than 11% year to date, thanks to strong Federal Reserve buying and demand. safe haven. Macro data The ADP report showed that U.S. private companies last month saw their biggest hiring gain since last July, led by the leisure and hospitality industry. Job growth was strong in all industries, but employment fell in professional services. US ADP employment increased by 184,000 people in March, the largest increase since July 2023. “ADP data is not a game changer.” Along with the upward revision to February's data, this is another small piece of evidence that the US economy continues to grow, which should continue to support rising yields. Even in the case of better data than gold, there is still a lot of momentum, and we can even see the dollar market and bond yields rising along with gold. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said the US non-manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) fell to 51.4 in March from 52.6 in February. This is the second consecutive month of decline. continued since the index recovered in January. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the services sector, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy. Services inflation is also falling due to slowing demand.
