Wednesday Market Analysis and SignalsIn the Asian market on Wednesday, gold fluctuated in a narrow range near its historical high and is currently trading around $2,662. Gold prices rose by $30 (more than 1%) on Tuesday and hit a record high of $2,664, continuing its recent gains. Tensions in the Middle East have increased gold's safe-haven appeal.
At the same time, the US consumer confidence index recorded the largest drop in three years, and concerns about the labor market are growing. Market expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in November have increased. The US dollar index recorded the largest single-day drop in nearly a month, which also provided momentum for gold prices to rise.
The current surge in gold prices is due to risk aversion due to concerns about the situation in the Middle East. Iran may have the next move, so gold will continue to hit new highs. The total annualized total of new home sales in the United States in August after seasonal adjustment will be released this trading day, and investors also need to pay attention to it. In addition, pay attention to the geopolitical situation and speeches by Fed Governor Kugler and other officials.
Gold continued its strong rise and hit a new high of 2,664. The RSI indicator of the monthly chart touched above 80 and entered overbought, and the RSI indicators of the weekly and daily charts respectively reached the high of 80. The short-term four-hour chart synchronized the RSI high. The trend has not changed, but the indicator has resonated before the opening of the European and US markets yesterday and hit a record high again. Beware of the price using data and indicators to form a high and fall back. Wednesday's trading follows the trend and makes short-term transactions at low prices.

Gold operation suggestions: Yesterday, the technical side of gold stabilized above 2613 and continued to fluctuate and consolidate with bulls. The bulls in the US market rushed to break through the 2634 mark and then fell back and fluctuated. Finally, it closed near the 2625 mark. The overall price maintained a high and strong consolidation. Although the increase was not large, the short-term bullish thinking was still the main focus.
From the current market trend, today's support below is around 2620-2610, and the upper pressure continues to focus on 2645. Wait patiently for the key points to enter the market.

Tuesday Market Analysis and SignalsIn the Asian market on Tuesday, gold fluctuated in a narrow range at high levels and is currently trading around $2,628 per ounce. Gold hit an all-time high of 2,634 during trading on Monday, up about 0.24%. The bullish market sentiment after the Fed's interest rate cut last week and geopolitical tensions pushed up the London gold price, but the US dollar index stabilized and rebounded. Ukrainian President Zelensky said that the Russian-Ukrainian war was "close to the end", and investors need to beware of the risk of a short-term correction in gold prices.
If the employment rate drops sharply, the market will believe that the Fed may be more active in cutting interest rates, which is very beneficial to gold prices. In addition, regional instability in the Middle East may further push gold prices higher. The growing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have enhanced the appeal of safe havens, which may further boost demand for gold.
As a traditional hedging tool for geopolitical and economic uncertainties, gold will have its best year in 14 years. There are relatively few economic data on this trading day. Investors will pay attention to the Reserve Bank of Australia's interest rate decision, the US Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index in September, speeches by Fed officials, and news related to the geopolitical situation.
Yesterday, the historical high of 2634 was reached again, showing a continuous breakthrough of the bullish pattern. The MA7/10-day moving average and the 5-day moving average have moved up to 2605/2582, of which the 5-day moving average is above the 2600 mark, and the RSI indicator is close to the high value of 80. The upper rail resistance of the Bollinger Band channel is obvious. In the short term, the gold price faces certain suppression and technical indicator repair. The overall gold bull trend structure is intact. The small cycle indicator is overbought and the indicator needs further cycle repair. Look at the 2615/2635 range first, buy low and sell high.
Trading strategy:
2613-2615 long, stop loss 2604, target 2635-2645;
2635-2638 short, stop loss 2647, target 2610-2600;
9.24 Technical Analysis of Gold Short-term OperationsThe bullish market sentiment after the Fed's rate cut last week and geopolitical tensions pushed up gold prices. Gold hit a new record high yesterday, reaching 2634, and then began to fall slightly, closing the daily line with a small positive. However, the US dollar index stabilized and rebounded, and Ukrainian President Zelensky said that the Russian-Ukrainian war was "close to the end". Everyone still needs to beware of the risk of a short-term correction in gold prices.
Gold hit a new high again, and the high point was constantly refreshed, from 2500 to 2634. In the short term, it is still dominated by a bullish trend. The weekly level broke through strongly last week. The current market is running on the upper track of the long-term channel. At present, it is necessary to focus on the support near 2600. The gains and losses of this position are related to the trend guidance of gold bulls and bears. If this position is broken, gold is likely to have a large retracement.
It is still expected to fluctuate during the day. In the short term, if gold wants to completely get out of the strong pattern, it still needs time to exchange space. I have repeatedly emphasized that the current point chasing long profits and risks are not proportional. The operation is around the 2600-2635 range during the day.
Detailed intraday operation strategy:

Gold short-term operation strategyThe four-hour lifeline, the hourly double-line upper track, the acceleration starting point, the top and bottom conversion position, and the position along the channel line are superimposed at 2584-2590, which is used as a support area for sweeping. The price squats and steps back to determine the support, or look at the upward movement
The Asian session breaks the high, the European session breaks the low, and the sprint action needs to be handed over to the US session
Pay attention to 2612-2610 in the European session, pay attention to 2622 upwards, and then look at 2630-2632
9.23 Gold Short-term Operation Analysis StrategyGold's daily and weekly lines are both up, setting new highs. Gold once again stood firmly on the 2600 line. The daily and weekly lines closed directly with big positive lines, with basically no leads. Judging from the current trend, gold will continue to rise in the long run, and the technical forms are undoubtedly strong. There are currently a lot of short-term supports below, 2610-2600 in the short term, and the upper short-term suppression is at 2635. No one can predict where the final high point will be.
As gold repeatedly breaks through new highs and madly refreshes historical highs, new highs also hide the risk of falling back.

XAUUSD: Analysis and Strategy for Today 19/9Gold technical analysis
Daily resistance 2600, support below 2500
Four-hour resistance 2600, support below 2566-2530
Gold operation suggestions: Yesterday, the Federal Reserve unexpectedly cut interest rates by 50 basis points and ushered in a high-level breakthrough of the 2600 mark, which was suppressed and fell back, and then fell and bottomed out. The overall price was blocked at the 2600 mark. Today, the decline was recovered but it did not break through 2600. Gold has generated periodic pressure above, and it may also form a large correction.
From the current trend of gold, the upper pressure of the daily four-hour level is at the 2600 integer mark, and the lower support of the daily line is 2500, near 2530 for four hours, and near 2566 for the hourly level. Today, the NY market operation strategy is to buy on dips, and observe whether 2600 can stand firm above.

9.20 Gold Short-term Operation StrategyAfter the price easily broke through 2600 today, it is difficult to move very strongly and will continue to run in a pattern with a fluctuating component.
Following the principle of bullish trend, even if you want to make a second bullish operation at night, you need to rely on the intraday high of yesterday and the low point of the hourly big positive line of 2595 as support, and the upper resistance is around 2618/2623
Analysis of gold price trend on FridayGold fluctuated at a high level on Friday and is currently trading around 2597. Gold prices rose more than 1% on Thursday, reaching an intraday high of 2594, approaching the historical high set on Wednesday. Although the performance of U.S. initial jobless claims was good, which once put pressure on gold prices during the session, the Federal Reserve launched a monetary easing cycle, which still attracted bargain-hunting buying to support gold prices, and data showed that the U.S. real estate market was still struggling; in addition, the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Lebanon attracted safe-haven funds to support gold.
The U.S. dollar fell in volatile trading on Thursday, providing support for gold prices. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.38% to 100.64 on Thursday after reversing the early gains; the market struggled to digest the Federal Reserve's sharp 50 basis point interest rate cut and the shift to an accommodative monetary policy stance. If you combine geopolitical risks with our current deficits, coupled with a low-yield environment and a weaker U.S. dollar, the combination of all these factors is the reason for the sharp rise in gold.
It should be noted that data showed that the number of initial jobless claims in the United States last week fell to the lowest level in four months, and the number of people continuing to receive unemployment benefits fell to the level since early June, suggesting that employment growth in September was solid and confirming that the economy continued to expand in the third quarter. This may limit the upside of gold prices. Investors need to pay attention to the interest rate decision of the Bank of Japan on this trading day, pay attention to news related to the geopolitical situation and speeches of Federal Reserve officials.
Technical side, gold has experienced a roller coaster ride and then rose sharply on Thursday, with prices rushing back above 2590. The daily line pattern is quite ugly, forming a red and blue alternation. The daily chart ended with a strong positive, and the price once again stood above the MA7/10 daily moving average at 2574/55. The price stood on the middle of the Bollinger band again and was in the current upper track channel. The RSI indicator was adjusted above the middle axis. Considering the large amplitude of the adjustment range, Friday's trading reference 2570/2600 intraday shock layout

Analysis of gold price trend on WednesdayGold is now priced around 2570. Gold prices fell slightly from their all-time highs in the previous trading day as the U.S. retail sales monthly rate in August was stronger than market expectations, the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields rebounded, and some traders took profits on long orders in preparation for the Fed's possible rate cut decision this week.
The unexpected growth in U.S. retail sales in August, with the decline in auto dealer sales overshadowed by strong online shopping, showed that the U.S. economy remained solid for most of the third quarter, which put pressure on safe-haven gold. The previously released retail sales data was better than expected, which seemed to support the Fed's less aggressive stance. It is widely expected that the Fed will announce its first rate cut in more than four years. The last time the Fed cut interest rates was in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It should be reminded that the market has partially digested the Fed's expectation of a 50 basis point rate cut on Wednesday, so whether it is a 25 basis point or 50 basis point cut, investors need to beware of the emergence of a "boot landing" market, when a large number of long orders may take the opportunity to take profits, thereby dragging down the price of gold. Similar market conditions have occurred many times in history: before the Fed cut interest rates, gold prices continued to rise due to the expectation of interest rate cuts, but after the Fed actually cut interest rates, gold prices fluctuated and weakened.
Technically, gold has not changed much, and it still fluctuates widely. The daily chart is adjusted at a high level, and the indicators are repaired. MA10/7/5 day moving averages still open upward. The short-term four-hour chart and hourly chart RSI indicators have been overbought for a long time and then returned to the central axis for repair and adjustment. The four-hour Bollinger Bands closed, and the price was consolidated around the middle track. Gold bottomed out and rebounded, and the intraday trading idea is to sell high and buy low. Please do not trade when the news is released!

Fed Rate: How to Trade Gold Amidst Market Uncertainty?
The excitement is building as the Federal Reserve is about to announce its rate decision—whether it's a 25 or 50 basis point cut. Will gold reach new highs or begin a downward trend? Let’s wait and see.
From a personal perspective, I'm not particularly concerned about the impact on trading. Whether the market moves up or down, it will eventually return to the current price levels. Especially after a surge, there’s no need to worry too much.
For those trading today, do not set stop losses on short positions. If gold rises, simply add to your position or hedge by opening long trades. The 2600 level is a critical resistance point, and even if it breaks through due to the announcement, it won’t hold for long without a retracement. At that point, simply close your long positions and add more short positions.
This trading strategy should be helpful for those looking to navigate the volatility. Feel free to ask any questions or leave comments!
9.19 Gold Short-term Operation StrategyThe Fed's interest rate decision will be announced in two hours. Will gold hit a new high or a correction?
On the 1-hour chart, you can see that there is a minor resistance level near the 2575 level, and there is also a downward trend line converging. If the price pulls back to this resistance level, sellers may intervene, aiming to fall to the 2548 support level. On the other hand, buyers want to see prices break higher to increase bullish bets and pursue new highs
, if the Fed eventually chooses to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, the market may react quickly, causing the US dollar to rebound. But if the Fed is as dovish as the market expects, cuts interest rates by 50 basis points, and sends signals of more interest rate cuts in the future, the US dollar will weaken further, pushing gold prices higher again, even breaking through the $2,600/ounce mark. Although the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates, there is still uncertainty about the magnitude and subsequent policy guidance. If the rate cut is only 25 basis points, it may suppress the short-term demand for gold, and investors will turn to wait and see. If the Fed's policy tends to be cautious, the safe-haven demand for gold may weaken, leading to a short-term sell-off in the market. If the Fed eventually cuts interest rates significantly and signals further easing in the future, gold will benefit from the continued weakening of the dollar and break through historical highs. At the same time, global economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks will continue to provide long-term safe-haven demand support for gold.
9.18 Technical Analysis of Gold Short-term OperationsToday, the focus of the entire market is on the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting. The market expects a 50 basis point cut, which may be the trigger for this wave of rise, but it may not have much impact at all.
Yesterday, the 2600 line was not kicked off, but fell back with a big negative.
Technical points:
(1) The European session bottomed out and rebounded, and the price continued to return to Monday's low, which broke our expectation of a strong and non-retracement.
(2) The European session continued to retreat to 2386, but still did not break the high. Yesterday, the focus was on the European session rising. If the European session fell, the market would turn to volatility.
(3) Before the US session, the intraday low continued to be broken, and the hourly line was negative, so the US session must be expected to fluctuate.
The European session broke the bottom for the second time, and the US session pulled back to short. It is expected that the US session will continue to break the bottom. After all, the price is good, and everyone is afraid that the long orders will be stuck at the top of the mountain, so they are willing to go short.
Operation strategy:
1. Before the meeting, continue to arrange according to the technical pattern. Short-term short position at 2575 can be shorted within the day, with a loss of 85, and look at 2555-50.
2. If it cannot be reached before the meeting, the price will remain the same. The Fed meeting will be closed for a break. If it can break the high before the meeting, hold it and look for a new high.
9.18 Gold Short-term Operation StrategyGold rebounded from a high level and built a top. Don't chase long easily. Gold rebound is an opportunity for shorts. The Fed's interest rate decision and the expectation of interest rate cuts are about to be fulfilled. The positive news for gold is fulfilled and it may rise and fall.
Gold broke down after repeated fluctuations at a high level in 1 hour. The top structure is obvious. The gold 1 hour moving average also began to turn around. The gold 1 hour moving average formed a dead cross, so there is more room for gold to fall and adjust. Gold rebounded last night but did not break through the resistance of 2582. In the morning, it continued to go short at highs under the resistance of 2582.
Strategy:
SELL: 2575 stop loss; 2582
9.17 Technical Analysis of Gold Short-term OperationsGold prices did not fluctuate much during the day. It retreated to the lowest level of 2574.50 in the Asian session, and then turned positive and moved upward. However, the space has not been opened yet, and it is in the rhythm of range fluctuations. For the extremely strong trend in the past few days, the recent two days have been mainly corrections. At the same time, even if it retreats, it is difficult to have a continuous decline, so the European session continues to see a rebound.
Recently, the market has paid close attention to the Fed's interest rate decision on Wednesday, and there are different views on how much to reduce. Before the announcement, the market trend is more cautious, which means that it is difficult to have a large operating space.
Today's analysis
1. At present, in the process of consolidation at a high level, the ups and downs are high, and the space is difficult to open
2. After all, the overall trend is bullish, and there is still a demand for rebound after the correction
3. After the Asian market went sideways, it stepped back to the previous starting point of 2574.50, and then there was no strong pullback in the European session. Two consecutive positives tested the high point of the morning pullback near 2586.30 and did not continue to rise. Then the hourly line turned negative and continued to pull back. For a strong pattern, there is some lack of momentum, and the shock component has increased.
Continue to follow the trend with long positions. In the previous trading day, we relied on 2578 to look up to 2590. In the morning, we continued to look up around 2576/1, and looked up to 2587, but failed to reach 2600. The dream of 2600 has not yet been realized!
From the market point of view, the low point of the afternoon retracement is around 2574.50. The European session can continue to retrace, and even cross or break through, but it cannot deviate too much from the intraday low, otherwise it will limit the momentum of the evening pull-up. The position of the golden section line 236 is near 2571, which is also the support position of the lower trend line, so pay attention to the opportunity to continue to rebound below 2571 in the evening, and the upper resistance is near 2590.
9.17 Technical Analysis of Gold Short-term OperationsIn the four-hour chart, the price recovered the upper line and ran below the upper line. The short-term support is at the acceleration line 2573. If it breaks down here, it also indicates that the lower line of the hourly chart will break. Once it breaks, it will resonate downward, at least testing the support of the 2562-50 line. Secondly, from the four-hour moving average chart, the 5-10-day dead cross is downward, and the auxiliary indicator MACD is dead cross at a high level. The hourly chart counterattacks the upper line and turns short for the second time, which is the best time to short, and it is also a reasonable position to reduce positions. Once it breaks down, the overnight closing price of 2579-80 is basically rebounded, which is to add shorts. So as long as you hold 2590 to see that the adjustment remains unchanged, wait for 2600 or above after the breakthrough to make arrangements.
Strategy:
2585-88 area short, loss 92, look at 73-68-62-50. Break down 73 and rebound 80 and short loss 85

Daily resistance 2590, support below 2530
Four-hour resistance 2575, support below 2544
As the saying goes, the longer the horizontal line, the higher the vertical line. After a long period of box consolidation, the gold price broke upward and refreshed the historical high of 2531. It is emphasized that after the break of 2531, it is time to go all out to be bullish on gold. Don't have any more empty thoughts. The current market is bullish in multiple cycles. Whether it is the weekly, daily, or 4-hour lines, it is an absolute bullish trend. There is no doubt that we will continue to go long during the day. There is nothing to say. Just don't think about guessing where the top is for the time being.
As for the intraday long position, after accelerating higher yesterday, it still maintained a strong upward trend today. The overnight low was at 2544, and today's Asian session low was at 2556. Pay attention to these two support points during the day. If you want to maintain an extremely strong long position, the starting point of 2556 cannot be broken. You can try to go long when it falls back during the day to near 2556. Today's bullish thinking can be maintained until 10 am in the U.S. market. Technical profit-taking may occur after 10 am, the last trading day of this week, but remember to only go long and not short, and follow the trend!

Analysis of gold price trend on TuesdayGold fluctuated in a narrow range at highs on Tuesday, and the current price is around 2583. Gold prices rose slightly on Monday, hitting a record high of 2590, helped by a weaker dollar and the expectation that the Federal Reserve will announce a sharp interest rate cut at this week's policy meeting! Although there were some short-term profit-taking of long orders at high levels, the gold price closed near the historical high!
The US dollar index continued to fall on Monday, which continued to provide support for gold prices. However, it should be reminded that if the US dollar index can hold the 100.50 first-line support (the US dollar index has rebounded after receiving support near this position many times in the past year or so), gold may usher in a correction. The global central bank has entered a cycle of interest rate cuts, which also provides support for gold prices. The European Central Bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points last week, although ECB President Lagarde suppressed expectations of lowering borrowing costs again next month.
The "horror data" will be released this trading day-the monthly rate of US retail sales in August, which investors need to pay close attention to. The current market expectation is -0.2%, and the previous value is 1%. This expectation is slightly biased towards supporting gold prices before the data is released. In addition to the "horror data", pay attention to the changes in market expectations for the Fed's decision and news related to the geopolitical situation.
Technical aspect
There has been no major change in the technical aspect. At the beginning of the week, the Asian session rose around 2580. After a small high in the afternoon, there was no large-scale increase. After the overbought in the small cycle four-hour chart and hourly chart, the price formed a high-rise and fell back. The entire trend of the US market formed a 77-90 range adjustment at the high level of the consolidation triangle. It is cold at high places. Although the trend has not changed, we must always pay attention to the emergence of technical callbacks and repairs. Therefore, long-term long positions have turned into short-term long positions, and strict risk control. Pay attention to the break direction of the 77/90 range during the day.
Trading strategy:
2573-2575 long, stop loss 2564, target 2590-2600;
2593-2595 short, stop loss 2606, target 2580-2570;
9.17 Technical Analysis of Gold Short-term OperationsAfter rising for three consecutive trading days, the price of gold rose again yesterday to a record high of $2,589 per ounce, close to the $2,600 mark, but it did not break through again. After encountering resistance and retreating, the final price closed at around $2,582. Overall, it still maintained a high level of consolidation.
There is no doubt that the rise in gold prices for three consecutive trading days has already indicated that the Federal Reserve will start to cut interest rates, and it also indicates that the expectation of further interest rate cuts is in place. The market is concerned about how many basis points the interest rate cut will be, which is not so important because the trends of various varieties are digested in advance.
Yesterday, the price of gold rose to $2,589, and then encountered resistance and retreated. The daily line recorded a small positive cross star. The current price remains above the upper track of the Bollinger Bands. The moving averages of each period are arranged in a bullish pattern. The Bollinger Bands remain open as a whole. The MACD double lines rise, and the red kinetic energy column increases, which is in line with the development of the K-line. At present, the daily line still tends to be bullish.
Since technical indicators have a lag, it will be too late to wait until the price retreats or turns to short. Yesterday's high of $2589 is effective pressure. Looking further up is the $2600 mark, $2606. It is uncertain whether it can be reached. If it can be reached, you can intervene to short and wait for a retracement. The primary support below (short-term target) is $2560.
Today's short-term operation strategy;
Sell at 2585, stop loss at 2590
Buy at 2555, stop loss at 2550
9.17 Gold Short-term Operation GuideAfter gold hit the high point of 2580-90 last week, it basically maintained a consolidation trend at the opening of this Monday. As of now, it is still above 2582 as the high point, and it is consolidating in the range of 70-90.
At present, many people think that the interest rate decision on Thursday will be a node, but not. I think the GDP data will be a window for a change.
Then, institutions may take advantage of the opportunity to buy and pull up again.
2580 is also a support in the 4-hour chart of gold. If it falls below the moving average support here, it is likely to test 2855-50 later.
