XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up details

Gold seems firm on its resolve to hold to a $1,800 price despite some sideways movement after a 4,000pips move to the downside at the beginning of last week's trading. Price is currently back at the critical level around the $1,800 area sending mixed signals across the market and from a technical standpoint, the tendency of both a bullish and bearish expectation for the coming week makes options very open. Now, the consensus is that the Fed is expected to raise rates by 50 basis points next Wednesday which would mark a slower pace of rate increases, and technically it is important that we use the current technical structure to position ourselves in such a way that we catch the move at its inception.
