Gold prices retreated from a two-week high of $3,365 an ounce hit last Friday. Despite the pullback, the bullish potential remains intact. Any decline in gold prices appears limited as U.S. fiscal concerns and escalating geopolitical tensions will continue to drive safe-haven demand for gold. Looking ahead to this trading day, gold prices may see a limited correction, but with the U.S. market closed on Monday to commemorate Memorial Day, the thin trading environment may amplify gold price fluctuations.
Why did gold prices plummet and soar in May?
Why did the price of gold plummet: First, the high-level trade talks between China and the United States reached an agreement, and bilateral tariffs dropped significantly, driving the market's risk appetite to rebound rapidly; second, although the U.S. CPI inflation rate in April was lower than expected, the Fed officials' statements were still cautious, hitting the market's expectations of interest rate cuts and also putting some pressure on gold prices. Finally, the rapid rise in gold prices in the previous period triggered technical adjustments, and the market took profits, which also pushed gold prices down.
Why did it rise: First, the unexpected intensification of the situation in the Middle East became a short-term flash point. Intelligence released by the United States shows that Israel may be preparing to launch a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. The risk of escalating geopolitical conflicts is the main reason for the upward trend in gold prices. Secondly, Trump's additional tariffs and Moody's downgraded the US sovereign credit rating from the highest level Aaa to Aa1 on May 16. This move has led to a decline in market confidence in US debt, which in turn provides support for the rise in gold prices.
Views on today's gold trend!
The gold daily level closed again with a positive line, injecting new vitality into last week's trading space. The two rounds of rise not only successfully crossed the resistance level of 3250 last Monday, but also further broke through the suppression of 3320, showing a clearer upward trend. The current shock is a correction after the previous high point breakthrough! However, the short-term shock is also carried out simultaneously. The pressure of the 3370 area tested several times on Friday failed to break through effectively and continued to encounter resistance, indicating that the current pressure is still relatively strong!
From the 4-hour chart, the gold bulls are still well-positioned. Currently, it is facing resistance at 3370 near the previous high. Due to the overstretching of the bulls in the previous period, it often needs a period of adjustment. However, if further news is stimulated this week, there is still a possibility that gold will rise sharply. The key is to look at the trend of the early trading. Therefore, when betting on strength and weakness, the timing is very important. This week is expected to continue to maintain a volatile upward pattern, and the callback market can be captured. The resistance is 3370 and the support is at 3320.
Gold: Long near 3330, defense 20, target 3370 resistance
