Fundamental analysis:

Gold's range is quite wide, in another development, this is a large compression area before gold breaks out and does something you can't believe.

Market influence:

The uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's plans for interest rate hikes is viewed as a significant factor supporting the non-yielding Gold price. However, it is still difficult to predict any significant upward movement in price. Thursday's underwhelming macroeconomic data from the United States has raised concerns about the Fed's ability to continue raising rates, leading to speculation that the current tightening cycle may be coming to an end.

Despite this, the Fed has indicated earlier this week that borrowing costs may still need to increase by up to 50 basis points by the end of the year. This, combined with a slight increase in US Treasury bond yields, has helped the US Dollar make a modest recovery from its lowest point in over a month on Friday. A modest strengthening of the USD may discourage traders from making bullish bets on Gold, which is priced in US Dollars.

Based on an overview of technical analysis and the political economy, gold is expected to continue to decline
