*📰 Market Overview*

Gold dipped after failing to hold above $4,100, sliding toward the mid-range as the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) climbs toward 99.55. Expectations for a December rate cut weaken (now ~47%), adding pressure on metals.

*Key fundamentals driving today’s volatility:*


📈 DXY rebound → reduces short-term gold momentum

🏦 Fed hawkish tone after October’s cut; policymakers want “pause & observe”

📉 Shutdown-related data blackout = mixed signals + unpredictable volatility

🌍 Geopolitical tensions (US–China tariffs, Mideast, Ukraine-Russia) continue to anchor safe-haven flows

🏛 Central banks still buying: Q3 +220t, Poland +67t YTD

*📊 ETF flows:*

ETF flows hit a record +222t in Q3, but November is seeing mild outflows even as AUM holds near $472B. It’s like investors took a big bite earlier, but are now nibbling less while still keeping most of their gold on the table.

*📆 What’s Ahead Key Events to Watch*

🔸 FOMC Meeting – Dec 10
Odds remain mixed with a slight hawkish tilt; any surprise tough tone could pressure gold short-term.

🔸 Data Blackout Continues
With CPI/NFP still imputed, November data may drop in clusters, triggering sudden volatility spikes.

🔸 Geopolitical Risk Premium
Escalation brings instant safe-haven demand, while de-escalation boosts DXY and pushes gold lower.

🟩 *GOLD TECHNICAL LEVELS*

By analyzing the #Gold chart on the 4H timeframe, we can see that after dropping to 3998 dollars, price found strong demand and has now climbed back up to around 4050 dollars.

*Whats NEXT ON GOLD ?* 👀👀

🎯 EQUILIBRIUM: 4122.95
Hold above = bullish momentum toward 4148
Stay below = re-test 4054 & possibly sweep 4039

🟩 📌 SCALP BUY AREA: 4039 – 4054

Strong intraday support + previous demand footprint.

🟥 📌 SCALP SELL AREA: 4106 – 4113

Expected rejection zone first reaction area.

🚨 📌 SMART MONEY SELL AREA: 4165 – 4148

CONCLUSION:-

Gold remains in a tight battle between demand at 4039–4054 and rejection zones near 4106–4113, with EQ at 4122.95 acting as the true directional trigger. Holding below EQ favors a pullback toward 4054/4039, while a clean break above opens momentum toward 4148–4165. Overall, range-bound with a slight downside bias until EQ is reclaimed.
