Gold Bullish Outlook Amid FED Commentary and Geopolitical Tensio

Long
FPMARKETS:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Idea:

Today, we have significant inputs from various FED speakers, notably FED Bostik and FED Zwoller, both of whom are hawkish and voters, which implies they have the potential to influence market sentiment and direction significantly. Their hawkish stance, combined with their voting power, suggests they could steer the market towards expecting tighter monetary policy.

In addition, we have inputs from FED Jefferson and others who represent a dovish perspective. However, given the current market conditions and the weight of hawkish voices, the market is likely to lean towards a more hawkish interpretation.

Furthermore, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East add an additional layer of uncertainty, which could exacerbate market volatility. Historically, such tensions have often led to increased risk aversion among investors, resulting in potential shifts in asset prices.

Pre-Trade Analysis for Gold:

My view on gold is bullish. Today, gold reached all-time highs again, making it a bit risky to enter a buy position at current levels. However, large speculators and big banks have recently filled their buy orders around significant price levels.

Currently, the price is at $2,429. Based on these factors, I am watching the $2,410 level closely. If I see the price rejecting or ranging around this level, it would be a strong signal for entering a buy position. My target would be the all-time highs again or higher, with an ambitious target of $2,500.

There is no major news suggesting a downturn, and the lack of a sharp down move indicates that major players have not yet closed their buy positions. This supports the potential for a bullish move if the price holds around $2,410.
