XAUUSD – Awaiting Non-Farm, will gold hold its ground?

145
The H8 chart shows gold retesting a key resistance zone around 3,426 USD after an impressive recovery run. Price action remains solid above the rising trendline and is supported by the EMA 34–89, indicating that the bullish structure is still well intact.

However, the upper resistance zone is causing some hesitation in the market. If gold fails to break through immediately, a minor pullback toward the 3,330 – 3,290 USD area is highly possible. If this zone holds, it would present a good opportunity to rejoin the uptrend.

On the news front, today’s spotlight is the U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls report. If the jobs data comes in weaker than expected, expectations for a Fed rate cut will likely increase – a scenario that could benefit gold significantly as a non-yielding asset.
