Gold Rises Short-Term to Close Gap Ahead of US Economic DataBased on the chart and the current situation, I see gold prices are creating a gap and tending to rise to close that gap. This may reflect the cautious sentiment of investors ahead of the release of important US economic data this week, including GDP, unemployment rate, consumer confidence index and some other important indicators on the labor market.
US government bond yields are rising sharply, pushing to 4.275%, and the Dollar-Index is also at a high of 104,400 points. These factors usually put downward pressure on gold prices because a stronger USD makes gold more expensive for investors holding other currencies. However, with the gap opening up, I expect a short-term rally to close the gap, before gold continues to test higher resistance levels.
The key support level is still around $2,730, and if the price holds at this level, there is a good chance of a short-term rally to fill the gap, giving investors a chance to find a reasonable entry point in the short term. However, I remain cautious with the possibility of a drop to lower levels if US economic data supports the strength of the USD.

XAU Possible MoveAfter breaking the solid trendline on October 23, 2024, XAU is now in a sideways position between 2750-2714. The news of tensions between Israel and Palestine briefly pushed XAU up to 2747 on Friday, and this morning it opened with a significant drop to the 2725 level. Today, XAU may potentially decline further to the 2720-2714 levels as the nearest support.
Gold Price Analysis for the Past WeekOver the past week, the gold price has experienced significant fluctuations. After a sharp decline, the price rebounded and is currently at 2,747.215 USD according to the chart. Here is a detailed analysis of the factors affecting gold prices, technical chart patterns, and projections for the upcoming trend.
1. Price Fluctuations Summary for the Week
Early in the Week: Gold prices began to rise sharply due to increased demand for safe-haven assets amidst negative global economic news.
Midweek: Gold faced downward pressure as the USD strengthened but remained within strong support levels.
End of the Week: Gold prices recovered due to expectations of interest rate cuts from central banks and concerns about an economic recession.
2. Factors Affecting Gold Prices
Economic Concerns: Reports indicate that the global economy is struggling, driving investors towards safe-haven assets like gold.
Low Interest Rate Expectations: Central banks are inclined to maintain or lower interest rates to support the economy, fueling upward momentum for gold prices.
Weaker USD: A slight depreciation of the USD supports gold prices by increasing purchasing power for those holding other currencies.
3. Technical Analysis
Short-Term Uptrend: The chart shows that gold has broken through a symmetrical triangle pattern, confirming the potential for further price increases.
Support and Resistance Levels: Currently, the primary support zone is at 2,733 - 2,736 USD. Gold has bounced strongly from this area, indicating a good buying zone. The next resistance area is around 2,755 - 2,760 USD.
Moving Averages: The 50 and 200 MA lines on the 1-hour chart indicate a bullish signal as the short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA, reinforcing the current upward momentum.
4. Gold Price Forecast
Based on news factors and technical patterns, gold is likely to continue its upward momentum toward the 2,760 USD resistance area and potentially higher if this level becomes a new support for XAUUSD.
Gold continues to show impressive resilience near recent highs
As the threat of a resurgence in inflation with the reckless fiscal policies that are likely to follow the presidential election loom, gold is firmly holding its ground around its historical high. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, coupled with soaring demand in China and India, are driving up gold prices. Furthermore, the uncertainty surrounding the US presidential election is boosting demand for gold as a safe haven. UBS has reported that global central banks has acquired 483 tons of gold in 1H2024 and forecasted that gold prices could soar to 3,000 USD per troy ounce next year.
XAUUSD sustained strength throughout the week within the 2720-2750 range. The price maintains a solid uptrend within the ascending channel, while EMA21 shows bullish momentum, widening the gap with EMA78. If XAUUSD breaches the resistance at 2750 and the ascending channel's upper bound, the price could gain upward momentum toward a new high of 2850. Conversely, if XAUUSD breaks the support at 2680, coinciding with EMA21, the price may fall below the channel's lower bound and decline further to the support at 2520.
GOLD has broken out of the profit-taking trendSupported by tensions in the Middle East and US election tensions, OANDA:XAUUSD broke out of the profit-taking trend and then recovered in the last trading session of the week.
As a hedge against political and economic instability, OANDA:XAUUSD is up more than 32% this year and has renewed all-time highs multiple times. This is mainly due to the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and the market's need to hedge, creating a rising storm in precious metals like gold.
Uncertainty about the US presidential election also boosted gold demand as polls showed the race for the White House remained tight.
The Dollar increased for the fourth consecutive week as Trump's chances of victory increased. Gold increased despite the stronger Dollar because these two assets both have separate supports that are outside the influence of each other in terms of direct correlation.
The COMEX gold speculative contract increased its net long position by 6,806 lots to 242,089 lots. This increase shows that the market's optimism towards gold has continued to increase.
What should gold traders focus on in the current market context?
Important events in the gold market this week mainly focus on geopolitical and economic policies. The following are key events and data affecting the gold market currently and in the near future.
1. Tensions in the Middle East are heating up
Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip this week have killed and injured many Palestinians. This incident not only caused risk aversion in the market but also caused investors to rush into gold. The war in the Middle East is also increasingly showing signs of spreading further in the near future, this is certainly a very potential support for gold.
2. Uncertainty of the election of the President of the United States
About the US presidential election The US presidential election is approaching Public opinion polls show that the election situation is still deadlocked and the market is very sensitive to the uncertainty of the election results .
This factor has increased investor demand for gold and demand for gold bars continues to be strong. Domestic political turmoil in the United States has increased market demand for a safe haven and further strengthened gold's position as a safe haven asset.
3. The Federal Reserve cuts interest rates
The Federal Reserve announced a 50bps interest rate cut, and this policy measure further supported gold's rise. The interest rate cuts have made the US Dollar less attractive, causing investors to switch to unprofitable assets such as gold, pushing up gold prices. At the same time, in a low interest rate environment, the opportunity cost of holding gold has decreased and this has caused gold prices to increase more than 32% this year.
4. Impact of the US Dollar on gold prices
It is worth noting that the US Dollar continued its upward trend this week, but it did not put too much pressure on gold prices. This is because gold and the US Dollar are being influenced by two different factors, on the one hand gold is supported by the Fed's monetary policy and geopolitical instability, on the other hand the US Dollar is supported by the possibility of Trump's "coronation" as President.
General baseline assessment
The overall fundamental picture shows that gold is almost the top choice with solid supportive market conditions, from monetary policy to instability, geopolitical conflicts continue to risk spreading along with the uncertainty of the US presidential election.
Even if a direct correlation like the US Dollar increases, gold is still not affected by it.
Economic data to watch out for this week
Tuesday: JOLTS Jobs
Wednesday: ADP jobs data, Q3 GDP, US pending home sales, Bank of Japan monetary policy decision.
Thursday: Core PCE, Personal income and spending, Weekly unemployment claims
Friday: US nonfarm payrolls ; ISM manufacturing PMI index
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
Technically, gold has no structural changes with an upward trend in both short, medium and long term from price channels.
After gold corrected, it recovered from the price channel, receiving support from the 0.786% Fibonacci extension and the lower edge of the price channel that readers noticed last week. The price recovery helped gold break above the $2,741 1% Fibonacci extension price point.
The current closing position gives gold the conditions to continue to increase with a target of 2,748 USD in the short term, more than the level of 2,758 USD.
As long as gold remains within the price channel, it still has a bullish outlook in the short term, and notable technical levels for gold's uptrend are listed below.
Support: 2,720 – 2,711USD
Resistance: 2,748 – 2,758USD - … New ATH

Gold Price Analysis October 28Fundamental Analysis
Gold prices edged lower to near $2,735, snapping a two-day losing streak in early morning trading in Asia on Monday. However, the precious metal’s losses may be limited amid geopolitical tensions and ongoing uncertainty surrounding the US presidential election.
Buying by central banks and rising demand from investors have pushed up prices of the yellow metal. The World Gold Council said that central banks around the world have bought more than 1,000 tonnes of gold in each of the past two years, with China topping the list of countries looking to increase their gold reserves.
On the other hand, a slower pace of interest rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve amid stronger US economic data has weakened the yellow metal. According to CME's FedWatch tool, traders are currently pricing in a 97.7% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) in November.
Technical Analysis
Gold is approaching the gap again and forming an uptrend if it breaks the important zone of 2750. The all-time high of 2768 will still act as resistance at the moment. On the other hand, a break of 2725 is considered an opportunity to find long-term buying points. 2711 and 2723 are two areas to watch in today's trading session. Wish you a successful trading day.
GOLD OPENING GAP AND NEXT MOVE!On Monday's Asian opening session, we observed a significant opening gap in the XAU/USD market, with the opening price at $2732 and the closing price on Friday near $2747. I anticipate that the gold price may dip to the highlighted support level before resuming its upward trend. This movement could potentially fill the gap and retest the highs around or above $2750. A well-managed long position in this scenario could yield a profit of 100-200 pips.
Gold 1H Intra-Day Chart 28.10.2024120 PIPS gap on market open for Gold. Huge dirty gap, stopping out everyone who tried to buy at the top & in return putting us sellers into profit.
Either way I’m being careful due to all the market volatility caused by Israel’s terrorist attacks in Lebanon & Palestine. Price can easily do a U-turn & turn bullish again.Here is what I am looking for next;
Option 1: Gold carries on dropping lower now towards $2,680 as first target.
Option 2: Gold pushes a little higher towards $2,770 - $2,785 next.
XAUUSD 27/10/24Continuing from last week's analysis on gold, we are again anticipating higher prices as we enter this trading week. We don’t expect the trend to change unless there's a clear reason, such as breaking below key lows and staying bearish for an extended period, which could signal the start of potential sell-offs. However, for now, we're not considering this scenario. We have three key reference points: the primary target is another all-time high this week. Watch for price to dip below lows that hold liquidity, and then aim for the target at the all-time high. Follow the upward trend of large bank orders and look for a good entry if we see a pullback.
Trade safely and stick to your risk management.

Gold Next Move | 1h Time FrameMarket Overview: In our view, XAU/USD will likely start the week on a positive note, heading for resistance at 2758. Price action for the pair on the 1-hour timeframe shows a Break of Structure (BOS), which depicts a strong bull in the market.
Trade Strategy:
Entry Point:
Consider buying the market as soon as it opens as close to the present price level as can be, plus any pullbacks to confirm the uptrend.
Target Level:
Target 2758. Do not go into this level blindly, as you may get turned around if the price action shows a reversal at this level.
Post-Target Action:

XAUUSD /PRICES TRYING TO REACH NEW ATH / 4HXAUUSD / 4H TIME FRAME
HELLO TRADERS
The price has already achieved a profit of +340 pips, signaling a strong upward trend. The fact that this movement continued after a news release suggests that market sentiment is likely driven by external factors, such as macroeconomic events or announcements.
The demand zone between $2,720 and $2,711 is critical because it reflects a price area where buyers are likely to step in. Historically, demand zones are areas of strong buying interest, which halts a downtrend. The expectation is that, if the price stays above this zone, it may bounce back towards the ATH of $2,757. This would mark a retest of the resistance level, a crucial price ceiling.
A move beyond $2,757, extending to $2,771, would imply a breakout. In technical analysis, a breakout from an all-time high (ATH) can lead to a new price discovery phase, where prices rise with minimal historical resistance. Traders might look to capitalize on this momentum.
The break below the demand zone would indicate that buying pressure is insufficient to stop the fall, leading to a continuation of the downtrend. A potential price drop to $2,685 would signal a notable reversal in sentiment.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [October 28 - November 01]This week, OANDA:XAUUSD increased from 2,714 USD/oz to 2,758 USD/oz, then decreased to 2,708 USD/oz, then recovered and closed the week at 2,747 USD/oz.
In addition to basic factors, such as central banks buying gold, the BRICS bloc seeking de-dollarization, geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, the Korean Peninsula, etc. are the main causes pushing up gold prices in recent times.
Up to now, although tensions on the Korean peninsula have not ended, according to many experts, war is unlikely to occur on the peninsula. Because, major powers and international organizations have been trying to find ways to prevent war from happening on the Korean peninsula.
As for the conflict in the Middle East, Israel has just launched an attack on military targets in Iran. According to Israel, this is the country's response to Iran's actions and Iranian proxy resources that have attacked Israel since January 10, 2024. The Israeli attack began at dawn on October 26, but ended three hours later. Israel warned Iran that if Iran responds to this Israeli attack, subsequent attacks will be stronger.
Next week's gold price may continue to increase due to investors' worries about Israel's attack against Iran. However, if Iran does not retaliate against Israel, it is possible that next week's gold price will adjust back down.
Next week there will be a lot of important economic data released. Notably, the non-agricultural employment report (NFP) is notable.
The FED's dual mission will become the focus of attention next week when the market receives information about the US Personal Consumption Expenditure Index (PCE), which is expected to remain at a high level. With the labor market declining and high inflation persisting, it is likely that the FED may only cut interest rates by 25 basis points at next month's meeting. This also somewhat negatively affects the psychology of gold investors, causing gold prices next week to be under more profit-taking pressure.
📌Technically, from a short-term perspective on the H1 chart, the gold price still shows an uptrend when the price is above the EMA89 moving average. Next week, if the gold price trades above the 2720 threshold, we can expect the price to continue to conquer the round resistance level of 2800. In case the support level of 2710 is broken, the immediate gold price will decrease and adjust to around the 2680 mark.
Notable technical levels are listed below.
