XAU/USD | Double Bottom → Breakout Retest → Clear Path for Bulls🧭 Market Overview
Gold has transitioned beautifully from a bearish liquidation phase into a clean bullish breakout structure.
This chart walks through each stage of the cycle — Accumulation → Breakout → Retest → Expansion — all clearly mapped for educational insight.
After sellers exhausted around $3,940–$3,960, Gold printed a textbook Double Bottom reversal.
Once price broke and closed above the neckline at $4,120, the structure flipped bullish — and now we’re in the Breakout Retesting phase.
🧩 Step-by-Step Breakdown of Chart Markings
🔶 1️⃣ “Clear Path for Bulls” – Liquidity Void Zone
The “Clear Path for Bulls” zone highlights a previous inefficient drop — an area with minimal resistance.
When price re-enters this void, momentum often accelerates, creating strong bullish continuation.
This is why above $4,120, price faces little friction until the next supply zone.
🟩 2️⃣ “Double Bottom” – Structure Base
Formed near $3,940–$3,960, this marks the liquidity sweep and accumulation base.
The second bottom confirms buyer presence and sets the neckline at $4,120.
That neckline is now acting as support, exactly where price is retesting today.
Below it? Only a liquidity pocket — thin structure, fast moves.
⚙️ 3️⃣ “Breakout Retesting” – Confirmation Phase
The “Breakout Retesting” zone illustrates a healthy technical pullback.
This retest confirms structure integrity, shakes out weak hands, and attracts institutional liquidity.
As long as $4,100–$4,120 holds, bulls maintain full control.
🔴 4️⃣ “Invalidation Point” – Structural Risk Line
The red-labeled “Invalidation Point” defines where the bullish thesis fails: a 4H close below $4,080.
This is the cutoff level protecting traders from a failed breakout.
The red projection (−4.11%, −168 pts) visualizes the probable liquidity sweep back toward $3,940.
🟢 5️⃣ “215.25 (5.20%) → 21,525” – Bullish Projection
This is the measured-move projection from the Double Bottom’s height.
It targets a 5.20% upside move into $4,360–$4,380, which aligns with the next liquidity/supply zone.
Simple, technical, and logical — structure-based profit zone.
⚫ 6️⃣ “−168.31 (−4.11%)” – Bearish Counterpath
A failed retest would likely send price down into the liquidity pocket again.
This highlights the importance of invalidation — clear risk awareness before execution.
Great visual lesson on maintaining reward-to-risk balance.
🟩 Bullish Case
✅ Hold above $4,120 confirms breakout integrity
🎯 Target 1 → $4,280
🎯 Target 2 → $4,360–$4,380
⚡ “Clear Path for Bulls” offers minimal resistance
🟥 Bearish Case
⚠️ Close below $4,080 invalidates breakout
📉 Expect liquidity grab toward $3,940–$3,960
💧 Reaccumulation likely before next attempt higher
🧠 Educational Insights
Structure builds sentiment — price respects zones, not opinions.
Breakout Retests validate structure; they’re not reversals.
Invalidation Points = professional discipline.
Measured Moves project liquidity targets, not guarantees.
Liquidity Voids show potential acceleration zones — trade them with structure.
💬 Trade Summary
Bias Above / Below Targets Risk Structure
🟩 Bullish Above $4,120 $4,280 → $4,380 Below $4,080 Double Bottom + Retest
🟥 Bearish Below $4,080 $3,940 Invalidation Liquidity Sweep Setup
🧩 Final Thoughts
Gold is now retesting its breakout structure — a key moment for confirmation.
Holding $4,120 keeps bulls in command toward $4,380, while losing it could trigger a −4% liquidity sweep before the next buildup.
This move is a clean visual example of:
Liquidity → Structure → Confirmation → Expansion
Stay patient, stay structured, and trade confirmations — not assumptions. 📚✨

WEEKLY MARKET ANALYSIS-DXY, BTC,ETH, NAS100,SPX,XAU,XAGThis weekend's analysis will cover the Dollar Index, Bitcoin, Ethereum, NAS100, SPX500, Gold and Silver.
The DXY has found a strong support on both the monthly and daily charts. DXY has officially also broken it's weekly closing resistance level and I think a shift in momentum will propel DXY up higher in the next week towards a target zone of 99 to 99.600.
Bitcoin is still in a correction and currently paused on the weekly 21 EMA, I think it's consolidating sideways and will continue selling to the intended target of $102k in the coming week.
ETH nicely came to the previous resistance and seems to find some buyers there but there is no momentum or RSI strength to support an upward move, so I am bearish on ETH and think the price will fall some more into the target zone below $3,823.
NAS100 and SPX500 are also looking quite over stretch on it's Bollinger Bands and KC channels on the weekly charts, with weekly bearish candles suggesting a pullback in the equities is very likely in the next coming week.
Gold and Silver are in a strong uptrend and the uptrend will continue but I see profit taking on the charts. I expect some sideways consolidation and a minor pullback before the bullish continuation.
I thank you for listening to my publications and I wish you a great trading week. Cheers everybody!!
$3,331 Support Under Siege — Is Gold About to Crash?Price has been trending lower since the left side of the chart, shifting from a distribution top into a sequence of lower highs and lower lows. After the failed rally into the mid-chart, sellers re-asserted control and the market is now compressing under a local supply shelf. The last several candles hover around ~3,338 with shallow bounces and repeated rejections—typical of a market leaning heavy into support rather than springing from it.
The key battleground is the 3,331 zone (two green dotted prints around 3,331.17 / 3,329.85). It has acted as a base multiple times, but every touch is coming from lower highs, which increases the odds of a breakdown. Beneath that, a clean air pocket runs to 3,301.28–3,301.77 (next green level), and if momentum extends, the measured downside points toward 3,268.12 at the bottom of your map. On the topside, supply stacks up tightly: intraday cap at 3,355.98–3,360.00, then higher resistance shelves at 3,374.81, 3,390.60, and 3,409.43 (all marked with red dotted lines). The clustering of red “S” markers around the 3,355–3,375 area reinforces that zone as distribution/sell interest.
Market structure confirms the bearish bias: each rally attempt is getting sold earlier (progressively lower swing highs near ~3,360 → ~3,350), while the base at 3,331 is getting probed more often. That’s classic compression into support. The small-bodied candles near current price show lack of aggressive buying; wicks on the upside into ~3,345–3,355 keep getting faded. The green “B” markers that appeared on recent dips have not driven a higher high, which weakens their signal and suggests they’re catching falling knives inside a down-structure.
A quick invalidation map helps frame risk: any 1H close back above 3,360 would neutralize the immediate short idea and expose a squeeze toward 3,374.8, and only then would 3,390.6 → 3,409.4 come back into play. Until that reclaim, the path of least resistance remains down, with liquidity likely resting below 3,329–3,331.
Trade Setup (bearish)
• Option A — Breakdown Play: Sell the decisive break and 1H close below 3,331, or short a retest of 3,331–3,334 from underneath. Stop: above 3,356–3,360 supply. Targets: 3,301 first, stretch to 3,268 if momentum persists.
• Option B — Fade the Rally: If price bounces into 3,352–3,360 supply, look for rejection wicks to short. Stop: above 3,374.8 (next resistance shelf). Targets: 3,331 initial, then 3,301; leave a runner toward 3,268.
Risk notes: avoid chasing the very first tick below 3,331—gold often does a quick sweep before the real move. If a sweep below 3,331 snaps back inside the range and closes above the level, step aside; that’s a trap. Once the first target is hit, consider taking partial profits and trail the stop above the most recent 1H lower high to stay aligned with the down-trend. Economic calendar icons on the chart suggest upcoming USD events—expect spikes; keep sizing modest until after prints.
GOLD clear sightDear all my friends wish you bests.
1. We have strong trading range in Daily and 4H this mean market can move up and down anytime and grab liquidity.
2. Analyzing waves going to show there is a downtrend structure as correction but if you look it in weekly its always upward for gold.
3. as market couldnt pass 3452 its going to 3152
if you trade daily careful market moves extremly crazy as we have big trading range in daily.
"IT'S JUST GOOD BUSINESS"
Gold Eyes $3,360 — Is This the Next Breakout?Looking at the 4H chart of XAUUSD, the price appears to be stabilizing after a period of decline, with selling pressure showing signs of exhaustion. The recent candles have smaller bodies, reflecting indecision from sellers and potential accumulation from buyers. Price is holding above the key horizontal support zone around 3,307–3,324, an area that has acted as a strong demand zone in the past. Each time the market dipped into this region, buyers stepped in, which gives the current structure a bullish undertone.
The EMA from your CM EMA TrendBars indicator has flattened out after a downward slope, suggesting that bearish momentum is losing strength. Price is also attempting to retest above this EMA, which, if achieved and maintained, could trigger further buying interest. This aligns with a possible short-term double-bottom pattern forming around 3,307, a common reversal setup if confirmed by a break above nearby resistance levels.
On the broader scale, gold has been in an overall macro uptrend for months. This recent weakness on the 4H chart could simply be a corrective pullback before another leg higher, rather than the start of a prolonged downtrend. If bulls can reclaim the EMA and hold above 3,348, the upside potential opens toward the 3,360 area and potentially higher.
Trading Setup
• Entry: Around 3,324.90
• Target: 3,360.89 (+1.10% / +36.4 USD)
• Stop Loss: 3,307.75 (-0.50% / -16.7 USD)
• Risk-to-Reward Ratio: ≈ 2.18
This setup offers more than double the potential reward compared to the risk, which fits well with a bullish bias. A decisive close above the EMA would serve as further confirmation for the trade.
XAU/USD 23 May 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 23 April 2025
Price has now printed a bearish CHoCH according to my analysis yesterday.
Price is now trading within an established internal range.
Intraday Expectation:
Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,500.200.
Note:
The Federal Reserve’s sustained dovish stance, coupled with ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, is likely to prolong heightened volatility in the gold market. Given this elevated risk environment, traders should exercise caution and recalibrate risk management strategies to navigate potential price fluctuations effectively.
Additionally, gold pricing remains sensitive to broader macroeconomic developments, including policy decisions under President Trump. Shifts in geopolitical strategy and economic directives could further amplify uncertainty, contributing to market repricing dynamics.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bearish.
Analysis and bias remains the same as yesterday's analysis dated 22 May 2025.
In my analysis from 12 May 2025, I noted that price had yet to target the weak internal high, including on the H4 timeframe. This aligns with the ongoing corrective bearish pullback across higher timeframes, so a bearish internal Break of Structure (iBOS) was a likely outcome.
As anticipated, price targeted strong internal low, confirming a bearish iBOS.
Price has remained within the internal range for an extended period and has yet to target the weak internal low. A contributing factor could be the bullish nature of the H4 timeframe's internal range, which has reacted from a discounted level at 50% of the internal equilibrium (EQ).
Intraday Expectation:
Technically price to continue bullish, react at either premium of internal 50% EQ or M15 demand zone before targeting weak internal low priced at 3,120.765.
Alternative scenario:
Price can be seen to be reacting at discount of 50% EQ on H4 timeframe, therefore, it is a viable alternative that price could potentially print a bullish iBOS on M15 timeframe.
Note:
Gold remains highly volatile amid the Federal Reserve's continued dovish stance and persistent geopolitical uncertainties. Traders should implement robust risk management strategies and remain vigilant, as price swings may become more pronounced in this elevated volatility environment.
Additionally, President Trump’s recent tariff announcements are expected to further amplify market turbulence, potentially triggering sharp price fluctuations and whipsaws.
M15 Chart:
Gold Pullback Incoming!Gold has struggled to break through its daily highs for the past week. I am looking for another push up to the $3360-$3370 range. If it fails to break that level again, we may see support levels around $3200 being retested. In my opinion, there is even potential for it to go lower. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
*Side note:* With the U.S. dollar falling in value and ongoing economic uncertainty, I believe gold has tremendous upside potential over the next 12-18 months. FX:XAUUSD

H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bearish.
Price did not print according to previous analysis by failing to target weak internal low.
Price has now printed a bullish iBOS. This is potentially due to the fact that H4 TF was in a bearish pullback phase and reacted at discount of 50% internal EQ which could mean that H4 TF bearish pullback phase is now over and targeting the weak internal high, which is mentioned in H4 analysis.
Price has also printed a bearish CHoCH which indicates, but not confirms bearish pullback phase initiation.
Price is now trading within an established internal range, however, I will continue to monitor depth of pullback.
Intraday Expectation:
Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or M15 supply zones before targeting weak internal high priced at
Note:
With the Federal Reserve maintaining a dovish stance and ongoing geopolitical tensions, volatility in Gold prices is expected to remain elevated. Traders should exercise caution, adjust risk management strategies, and stay prepared for potential price whipsaws in this high-volatility environment.
Trump's tariff announcement will most likely cause considerably increased volatility and whipsaws.

M15 Chart:
XAUUSD 4H (anticipating) Breakout Trade: Buy‐Stop Why This Zone?
If gold breaks and closes above ~2,770–2,775, it suggests bullish continuation toward 2,780–2,800 or more.
Possible Setup
Type: Buy Stop at ~2,775 (anticipating a breakout)
Stop‐Loss: ~2,750–2,760
The idea is to keep stops relatively tight if the breakout fails.
Take‐Profit Targets:
~2,790–2,800 (a 15–25 point run above your entry).
If momentum is strong, a secondary target near 2,830 (the 2.618 Fib extension) is possible.
Summary “Big Picture” Outlook
Daily Trend: Bullish, with price above the 50 and 200 EMAs. MACD is still positive.
Key Near‐Term Resistance: 2,763–2,770; a breakout could extend toward 2,800 and potentially 2,830.
Key Pullback Supports:
2,730–2,740 (4H FVG & VAH)
2,710 (PoC)
2,680–2,690 (4H 200 EMA / deeper volume node).
Volume Profile: Confirms strong participation around 2,700–2,730, suggesting a robust support band in that area.
Momentum Indicators: Short‐term MACD (1H, 4H) is cooling but not definitively bearish. The daily timeframe remains positive, so short‐term dips may be bought until proven otherwise.
Important: this is not personalized financial advice. It’s an illustration of how one might combine risk management principles with the support/resistance zones in play.

Gold's Potential Movememt in 2025Here is the detailed technical analysis of OANDA:XAUUSD
1. Key Levels and Chart Structure
- Resistance Zones (red boxes): There is a significant resistance zone highlighted around $2,720–$2,740. This is an area where the price has previously struggled to break through, indicating strong selling pressure or profit-taking.
- Support Zones (green boxes): The key support levels are marked near $2,580–$2,600. This area has been tested multiple times in the past, showing buyers stepping in and defending this zone.
2. Chart Pattern
- Symmetrical Triangle: The white lines outline a symmetrical triangle pattern. This indicates consolidation and a potential breakout, either upwards or downwards, as the price nears the apex of the triangle. Triangles often lead to sharp price movements as traders anticipate a resolution.
3. Potential Scenarios
Scenario 1: Bullish Breakout (green path)
- If the price breaks above the resistance zone near $2,720, we could see a bullish rally.
- The price might retest the breakout level before heading higher towards $2,760–$2,800. This aligns with the continuation of the prevailing uptrend from earlier in the chart.
- A breakout above the symmetrical triangle would signal strong buying momentum, supported by increasing volume during the breakout.
Scenario 2: Bearish Breakdown (red path)
- If the price fails to hold the triangle's lower boundary and the key support zone near $2,580, a bearish breakdown is likely.
- This could lead to a sharp decline, targeting levels around $2,520 and potentially further towards $2,480.
- Such a move could be triggered by strong selling pressure or macroeconomic factors unfavorable to gold, such as a strengthening U.S. dollar or rising bond yields.
4. Volume Analysis
- The volume seems to be decreasing as the price moves within the triangle, which is typical for such consolidation patterns. A significant increase in volume during the breakout or breakdown would confirm the direction of the move.
5. Trading Implications
- For a bullish breakout, traders might consider entering long positions above $2,720 with stops below the triangle and targeting $2,760 or higher.
- For a bearish breakdown, short positions could be initiated below $2,580, with stops above the triangle and targets near $2,520 or lower.
- Risk management is essential, especially in volatile market conditions like this.
This analysis is based purely on the technical chart setup and does not account for any fundamental factors or news events that could influence gold prices. It would be wise to monitor any upcoming economic reports or geopolitical developments that might impact gold's movement.
XAU/USD 14 October 2024 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bearish.
Analysis/Bias remains the same as analysis dated 13 October 2024.
As mentioned in my analysis dated 09 October 2024, price could print lower to bring CHoCH positioning closer to current price action, as the previous CHoCH positioning was quite distant. This is exactly how price has moved.
Price is currently positioned in the premium above the 50% equilibrium (EQ).
Intraday Expectation: Price is expected to react at the premium of the 50% EQ or H4 supply zone before targeting weak internal low.
I advise caution due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and the Fed's dovish stance. However, we will remain systematic in our approach.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Following last week's bearish iBOS, price did not target weak internal low with price printing bullish iBOS.
This is in line with H4 bullish pullback phase.
We are now trading within an internal low and fractal high.
Should price print bearish CHoCH we would have a confirmed internal range which will be significantly narrower than previous internal ranges.
Intraday Expectation: Price is expected to print a bearish CHoCH, indicating the initiation of bearish pullback phase. Bearish CHoCH positioning is marked with a blue dotted line.
Systematically price should either react at discount of 50% EQ or M15 demand level to target weak internal high, however, due to significant narrowing of the internal range, coupled with the fact that price is in premium of 50% EQ of the H4 internal range, I would not be surpised if price printed a bearish iBOS.
M15 Analysis:
XAU/USD 09 October 2024 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bearish.
Analysis dated 06 October 2024 was accurate, with price targeting the weak internal low and printing a bearish iBOS.
We are now trading between an internal high and fractal low.
CHoCH positioning is still quite a distance from current price, so it’s possible that price may print new lows to bring CHoCH closer to current price.
Intraday Expectation: Price is expected to print a bullish CHoCH to indicate the initiation of a bullish pullback phase, keeping the above scenario in mind.
I advise caution due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and the Fed's dovish stance. However, we will remain systematic in our approach.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bearish.
Yesterday's analysis (08 October 2024) was accurate, with price pulling back, printing a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH), reacting at the premium of the 50% internal equilibrium (EQ), and then targeting weak internal low, ultimately printing a bearish iBOS.
We are now trading between an internal high and fractal low.
Intraday Expectation: Price is expected to print a bullish CHoCH, indicating the initiation of a bullish pullback phase. Bullish CHoCH positioning is marked with a blue dotted line.
Price is likely to react at the premium of the 50% EQ or the M15 supply zone before targeting the weak internal low.
M15 Chart:
XAU/USD 04 October 2024 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
intraday expectation remains unchanged from yesterday's analysis (02 October 2024).
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bearish.
Price has continued its surge, reaching all-time highs with minimal pullbacks.
The bearish swing pullback phase has been confirmed by a bearish Internal Break of Structure (iBOS), which has also established the current swing range. At present, we are trading between the swing high and internal low.
Price has now printed a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH), suggesting, but not confirming initiation of a bullish pullback phase.
Additionally, the price has reacted from the premium zone above the 50% internal equilibrium (EQ).
Intraday Expectation: The expectation is for price to target a weak internal low.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Price did not meet yesterday's intraday expectation, as the internal structure flipped from bearish to bullish, with the price printing a bullish Internal Break of Structure (iBOS).
A bearish Change of Character (CHoCH) has been printed, indicating the initiation of a bearish pullback phase, and an internal range has been established.
It is expected that the price will trade down to the premium zone of the 50% internal equilibrium (EQ) or the M15 demand zone.
Intraday Expectation: Technically, the price is expected to target the weak internal high.
Given that the H4 timeframe appears to be in a bearish pullback phase, any bullish momentum is likely to be short-lived.
With rising geopolitical tensions, coupled with a dovish stance from the Fed, Gold is expected to remain highly volatile in the short term.
M15 Chart:
XAU/USD 14 August 2024 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
Analysis/Bias remains the same as yesterdays analysis dated 11 August 2024
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Following price printing bullish BOS price pulled back to discount of 50% EQ before targeting weak internal high.
As previously mentioned, bullish momentum and pro swing/internal structure was unable to break and close above weak internal high, which could be an early indication that bearish pullback phase is incomplete and price will seek further liquidity before targeting weak internal high. This is what price printed according to my analysis.
Intraday expectation: Price has reacted at an H4 demand level, therefore, price to target weak internal high.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Following bullish iBOS, price printed a bearish CHoCH to indicate bearish pullback initiation.
Internal structure is substantial, therefore, I have zoomed out in order to obtain a better view of structure.
Price has reacted at an M15 supply level, however, the move did not sustain sufficient bearish momentum and it seems weak internal high is being targeted.
Intraday expectation: Whilst I have mentioned that price may target weak internal high, price may well print a secondary reaction to the M15 supply level in order to gain more liquidity to complete bearish pullback phase.
M15 Chart:
XAU/USD 09 August 2024 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
Bias/Analysis remains the same as analysis dated 04 August 2024.
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Following price printing bullish BOS price pulled back to discount of 50% EQ before targeting weak internal high.
However, bullish momentum and pro swing/internal structure was unable to break and close above weak internal high, which, much like the daily TF, could be an early indication that bearish pullback phase is incomplete and price will seek further liquidity before targeting weak internal high.
Intraday expectation: Technically, price should target weak internal high, however, price has made one failed attempt, therefore, price could continue bullish, react at H4 supply level, print bearish price action, react at H4 demand level before targeting weak internal high.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
Analysis/Bias remains the same as yesterday's analysis dated 06 August 2024.
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bearish.
Yesterday's intraday expectation was met, assisted by dovish US economic news.
Price has printed a further bearish iBOS followed by a bullish CHoCH indicating bullish pullback phase initiation.
Indication of pullback initiation started by reaction at H4 demand level.
Price is currently hovering around 50% EQ printing low volume rangebound price action.
Intraday expectation: Price to react at premium of 50% internal EQ or M15 supply zone before targeting weak internal low.
Alternative scenario: Whilst intraday expectation is technically correct, we need to bear in mind that internal H4 structure is bullish with bearish pullback phase currently underway and could potentially be complete after reacting at H4 demand level.
M15 Chart:
XAU/USD 27 June 2024 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bearish.
As previously mentioned, price reacted at 50% EQ of the internal range to target weak internal low, however, price was unable to close below internal low due to H4 demand zone.
Nonetheless, internal structure remains bearish until strong internal high is taken out.
Intraday expectation: Price could potentially be seeking further liquidity to once again target weak internal low.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bearish.
As per previous intraday expectation price did target weak internal low and printed a double bearish iBOS.
Price has reacted at a H4 demand level to potentially initiate bullish internal pullback.
Price has yet to print a bullish CHoCH indicating, but not confirming bullish pullback initiation following bearish iBOS, therefore, price is contained within an internal high and fractal low.
Internal high and CHoCH positioning are currently at the same level.
Intraday expectation: Price to either react at premium of 50% EQ or M15 POI before targeting weak internal low.
Price could potentially continue bearish to engineer a CHoCH closer to current price.
M15 Chart:
Analyzing Gold Price Trends: Downtrend or Upwardtrend The price of gold (XAU/USD) is currently in a stable uptrend on Tuesday during the Asian trading session, fluctuating around $2,350, near its previous high. The Fed's delay in cutting interest rates could potentially increase US bond yields and strengthen the US Dollar, impacting gold price movements.
From a technical perspective, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trading near overbought levels, but it's uncertain whether prices will adjust towards the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). Any downward adjustments could find strong support at $2,300, and if prices continue to decline, XAU/USD may be pushed towards significant support levels around $2,267-$2,265.
