GOLD Price Shows Upside Potential Amid Pennant FormationBased on current analysis, it appears that the price of gold is showing some uncertainty as it moves within a pattern known as a "pennant". Despite this, there is still potential for the price to increase, as there are risks that could push it up. In order for this to happen, the price would need to break above a downward trendline at the price of $2,000, confirming the breakout from the pennant pattern. If this occurs, the price could potentially rise towards the important $2,000 level, with further resistance levels at $2,010 and $2,060.
On the other hand, if the price falls below a support level at $1,950, it could lead to increased selling pressure and potentially challenge the low price of $1,950 seen on Monday.

GOLD Could Rally Toward $2,000 on Fed's Dovish LanguageThe price of gold is currently below $1,950 and may see a bullish trend as XAU/USD bulls may make one last attempt to rise before the Federal Reserve meets. Mehta suggests that for any recovery to occur, gold would need to be accepted above the psychological level of $1,950 and reach the previous resistance level of $1,960. If the Federal Reserve adopts a dovish outlook, it could cause gold buyers to push the price back to $2,000 and potentially even higher. However, if the previous day's low of $1,935 is breached, selling interest may be reinforced, leading to a potential drop towards the $1,900 level. Should Fed Chairman Jerome Powell adopt a hawkish stance, gold's bullish commitments may be challenged, and the price could fall to the March 17 low of $1,918 before potentially dropping further to the $1,900 round level.
"The anticipation of a 25bps increase in the Federal Funds Rate by the Fed will likely hurt the price of gold . Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset, and when interest rates rise, it becomes less attractive to investors seeking higher yields."
XAU/USD: Possible Values Decline for the Yellow metalAs the Dollar continues to retrace its steps from four-week highs, the gold market hopes to capitalize on recent recovery gains. Will XAU/USD break $1,850 during Powell's speech as Fed Chair? As investors stay away ahead of Jerome Powell's speech, the US dollar is currently declining from monthly highs. His remarks are likely to spark a new bout of volatility, which could provide the USD a new lift at the expense of Gold.
Gold Maintains Bullish Bias, Eyes 2022 Highs Gold prices extended gains into a second session on Tuesday as bets for a smaller rate hike by the Federal Reserve next week continue to weigh on the U.S. dollar. At the same time, a slight pullback in U.S. Treasury yields has also helped the yellow metal.
At the time of writing, the spot price XAU/USD is trading at $1,936 an ounce, 0.3% above its opening price, after posting its highest level since April at $1,942.
Expectations of smaller rate hikes by the Fed have been adding pressure on the dollar over the last months. The WIRP tool suggests a 25 bps rate hike is fully priced in for the February 1 decision, with less than 5% odds of a larger 50 bps increase. There will be no more Fed speakers heading into the monetary policy meeting as the central bank has entered the blackout period.
Since expectations of a Fed pivot started back in September, the gold price has risen more than $300 an ounce, from a low of $1,615 to $1,935 currently, which is nearly 20% in four months. XAU/USD is now close to the 2022 peak of $2,070.
The technical picture remains bullish for the yellow metal, according to indicators on the daily chart, while the price continues to make higher highs above its main moving averages.
The last major barrier ahead of mentioned 2022 highs is seen at $1,973, which is the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of last year’s decline. Still, the RSI stands in overbought territory suggesting the XAU/USD may need a phase of consolidation and some profit-taking before another rally. On the downside, immediate support could be found at $1,900, followed by the 20-day SMA at $1,877 and then the $1,840 zone.
