Gold may trade sideways at the end of the week
Updated
☘️Fundamental Analysis
Gold prices are struggling to capitalize on the previous day's positive move and are hovering between modest gains heading into Friday's European session. Upbeat US macro data on Thursday eased fears of a sharp slowdown in the world's largest economy and boosted investor confidence, undermining demand for the safe-haven metal. However, rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, coupled with bets on the imminent start of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) policy easing cycle, supported XAU/USD.
In fact, the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point (bps) interest rate cut at the upcoming FOMC policy meeting in September. This prospect, in turn, triggered a fresh decline in US Treasury yields and attracted fresh sellers around the US Dollar (USD), which turned out to be another factor acting as a bullish driver for Gold
☘️Technical Analysis
From a technical perspective, the overnight failure near the $2,470 resistance level makes it prudent to wait for some follow-through buying before positioning for any further gains. With the daily chart oscillators holding in positive territory, Gold could then aim to break above the all-time highs, around the $2,483-$2,484 zone hit in July, and conquer the psychological $2,500 mark. A sustained strength above the latter would confirm a breakout above a month-old trading range and could be viewed as a fresh trigger for bullish traders, setting the stage for a further near-term upside move.
On the downside, the $2,447-2,445 horizontal zone now looks to protect the immediate downside ahead of the $2,430-2,429 zone and the weekly low, around $2,424. Some follow-through selling could leave Gold vulnerable to further weakness below $2,400.

Note
Gold retreats from chart resistance after release of upbeat US data
Gold swings between mild gains and losses in the $2,450s on Friday. The precious metal is in the midst of a retreat from a key chart resistance line in the $2,470s, which it had been battling with for most of the earlier part of the week.
Note
Gold has corrected back from chart resistance in the $2,470s after the release of strong US retail sales data.
Lower US initial jobless claims brought more positive news about the US economy, helping to dispel recession fears.
The precious metal is probably unfolding a leg down within a sideways trend.

Gold reverses below $2,500 amid profit-taking, as a key week kicks in
Gold price is trading below $2,500 in the Asian session on Monday, retreating from fresh record highs of $2,510. Markets resort to profit-taking, gearing up for US S&P Global PMIs, Fed Minutes and Fed Chair Powell's speech this week for fresh policy cues. Mid-East concerns could cap Gold's downside.
Note
Gold holds steady above $2,500, potential downside seems limited
Gold price hovers around $2,500 during the early Asian session on Tuesday. The rising expectation of the interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September and further US dollar weakness are likely to underpin the precious metal in the near term.
