XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up details

Gold prices continue to trade below the 2,000 level for the second week straight hereby maintaining its choppy situation on the charts which has been attributed to the uncertainty over the path of interest rates decision by May 3rd; It is expected that events in the coming week should make things much clearer. Economists project that the Federal Reserve will agree on another quarter-point increase which will bring US interest rates to a peak of 5.25% and insinuations that the Fed is not done with rate hikes might as well give the USD a fresh upside in the coming weeks. In this video today, we looked at the charts from a technical standpoint to decipher the potentials that price movement has in the coming week(s).
