Gold - Signs of awakening or the downtrend correction?
Updated
Surprisingly, gold has been holding up relatively well despite the recent rate hike by the FED. Currently, it trades near the 1770 USD price tag, up over 5% from its low on 21st July 2022. We continue to be bullish on XAUUSD in the medium and long term. However, in the short term, we do not rule out that gold will continue to be choppy before regaining any significant momentum to the upside or downside.
*The retracement toward the 50-day SMA may coincide with the end of the downtrend correction. Because of that, we are cautious.

Due to the stock market's impending selloff, we are turning relatively bearish on gold (in short-term/medium-term).
