XAUUSD | Price Action | New perspective | follow-up details
The yellow metal is potentially heading for weekly losses amid a surge in the US dollar's strength. Despite a slight relief on Friday, gold had been grappling with significant losses from the previous session when data revealed that the US economy outperformed expectations in the second quarter.
This impressive reading bolstered the dollar and pushed gold over 1% lower, as traders speculated that the robustness of the US economy might prompt the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates.
The release of this data followed the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate hike, with indications of another potential hike later this year, as inflation remains higher than the central bank's target range.
Rising US interest rates are not favorable for gold and other metals, as they increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. Consequently, the strong GDP reading caused gold to erase all its gains for the week, with the precious metal now trading approximately 0.8% lower.

Today's XAUUSD update reveals that all sell positions have been closed, resulting in a modest profit, as the price action continues to remain confined within the $1,952 and $1,943 zone in the last 19 hours.

We shall keenly monitor the price movement for any signals that could influence trading decisions today.

Trade smart. Trade consciously
If this scenario unfolds, a breakdown/retest of the new weekly support level at $1,953.40 could present promising bearish opportunities. However, it's essential not to overlook the presence of higher lows on the chart, which have been evident since last Friday, and might incite an uptrend move.
In this highly dynamic market environment, it's crucial to stay alert and responsive to the unfolding events to make well-informed trading decisions. We'll be closely monitoring these developments and discuss them in detail during our upcoming sessions. Stay tuned for further insights and analysis.
