XAUUSD: Analysis and strategy before the Fed rate decision
Updated
Yesterday's view on gold was still very accurate. In the article, I clearly stated that there would be a correction before the Fed's interest rate decision, and the window period was after the data was released. As expected, under the premise of multiple negative data and a large number of long orders being profited, the gold price fell all the way to 2560, which also gave us the opportunity to close the short positions we held last week.
The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision will be announced today. My prediction for a rate cut is 25 basis points. The possibility of 50 basis points is not high in my opinion, but it has to be guarded against.
In the context of the upcoming announcement of the interest rate cut, today's trading strategy must be based on the number of basis points of interest rate cuts to formulate a trading plan, so I give the following suggestions for your reference:
In the case of a 25 basis point interest rate cut:
I personally think that the gold price will rise first and then fall. First of all, the interest rate cut is definitely good for gold, but because of the continuous interest rate cut remarks for a month, the gold price has now reached a historical high of 2590, and has digested the impact of the interest rate cut in advance. The rise in gold prices from 2530-2590 is largely due to some investors' belief that the Fed will be concerned about employment issues, which greatly increases the probability of a 50 basis point rate cut. Therefore, once the announced value does not meet expectations, the price of gold will inevitably fall.
In the case of a 50 basis point rate cut:
There is no doubt that gold prices will continue to rise and set a new high again.

There is some resistance at 2580 now. Continue to wait and see. If there is an opportunity today, do it. If there is no opportunity, don't force the transaction.Trade active
Half an hour after the Fed announces its interest rate decision, Powell will give a speech, and everyone will need to pay close attention to the content of his speech.Trade active
There are still 2 hours before the interest rate decision is announced. Please pay attention to the announced value and execute the trading strategy accordingly.
In addition, Powell’s remarks are definitely an important clue for the next interest rate cut.

Powell's speech was hesitant and affirmative. I think there is a certain degree of moisture in this. At the same time, major institutions believe that this 50 basis point cut in interest rates is a bit too hasty. Therefore, there is a lot of uncertainty in gold today. We should trade cautiously and be cautious when not sure. You don’t have to trade
