The 10.18 rally is not over yet and the highs will continue to bThe highest intraday rise was around 2714, and the new high was constantly being refreshed. Since the rise on Tuesday this week, the hourly line has basically rarely shown a negative line, and more of it has continued to close positively, and the overall rhythm is strong. After the morning rise, it turned negative and retreated after the afternoon trading. It was only two consecutive negative lines without much room to go down, so the US market continued to be bullish and continued to break highs!
Below we will analyze the real data behind the recent economic data released by the United States, the European interest rate cut, and the impact of various factors such as the "Trump deal" on gold:
First, the data released overnight showed that US retail sales increased by 0.4% month-on-month in September, higher than the expected value of 0.3% and the previous value of 0.1%; the year-on-year growth rate dropped to 1.7%, the lowest level since January. The US Census Bureau made the largest seasonal adjustment to this month's retail data in history. If the seasonal adjustment factor is excluded, retail sales in September actually fell by 7.5% month-on-month.
Therefore, the data does not necessarily indicate an economic recovery. Even if the US dollar and gold have strengthened recently, it is based on risk aversion factors. In addition, some data values released by the United States recently are greater than market expectations, which means that the US economy is not as bad as everyone thinks. However, after excluding some beautiful data, such as: child care is becoming increasingly unaffordable, the system is difficult to operate, high medical costs and energy prices, etc., the market environment still has downside risks.
Secondly, the European economy is under pressure. The central bank has recently cut interest rates, and the euro has continued to fall, boosting the trend of the US dollar; at the same time, the widespread economic weakness also has a risk-averse effect on gold.
Third, as we mentioned earlier, as the US election approaches, traders are gradually pricing in election risks, and there are signs that Harris, who had previously been strong, has been overtaken by Trump. The "Trump deal" has regained its previous popularity, and risky assets have been boosted.
Finally, from the perspective of gold technical patterns:
First, the stronger the market, the shorter the time for retracement correction, the smaller the retracement space, and the fewer times the negative lines appear. Since the price of gold started to rise from 2641 on Tuesday this week, especially from the 4-hour line, there have been callback K-line patterns in the process of continuous pull-up, but they are all single negative, and the entity is very small, and then continue to turn positive and rise; this is the recent trend of the strong pattern of gold prices.
Secondly, from the rhythm of intraday operation, there was a horizontal correction in the morning, and then it rose directly. There were two consecutive negative corrections in the European session. The support near 2702 is the support position of the lower trend line, and it has not even reached the high point of 2696.50 in the US session last night, so don't wait for too low positions in operation.
Thinking planning for the US session:
Due to the strong market trend, there are no excessive corrections and adjustments, and the strong rhythm of the day, the upper space is expected to continue to be released in the evening, so sideways or retracement is an opportunity to go long. The lower support is 2702. Even if it retraces again in the evening, it will continue to rely on this bullish trend. The upper resistance is around 2722 and 2730.
BUY: 2710 Target 2730
