Gold continues to captivate traders' attention, trading within a channel that reflects the market's anticipation of key upcoming U.S. economic reports. The precious metal's price action has been notably stable, with resistance and support levels clearly defined within this channel.
Technical analysis: Gold is currently testing resistance near $2038, having maintained a steady course within the channel. The market is particularly focused on the Federal Reserve's impending rate decision, which could catalyze a significant move. Tomorrow’s consumer confidence and JOLTS reports, followed by Thursday's unemployment claims, and Friday's NFP report, will have a huge effect on investor sentiment and gold's direction.
Our position: The market is poised for the Fed's decision, which should lead to a breakout from the channel for gold prices. We remain vigilant, ready to capitalize on the resulting volatility. A bullish break could reinforce a attempt to break the $2060 resistance, while a bearish turn might push the price to lower levels.
