Gold Eyes Breakout or Breakdown: All Eyes on PCE and FOMC

148
GOLD XAUUSD Gold (XAU/USD) surged above $3,350 last week, boosted by safe-haven flows following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and rising geopolitical tensions. Concerns over U.S. debt sustainability, weak dollar sentiment, and renewed trade risks kept investor demand for gold elevated.

Technically, gold is currently trading within an ascending channel. Price is now hovering near a key resistance zone around $3,364, while the $3,324 breakout level below may act as pivotal support. A pullback below this level could expose downside risk toward the lower channel boundary. Meanwhile, a sustained break above resistance may invite further bullish momentum toward $3,400.

This week, attention turns to key U.S. data including FOMC minutes, Q1 GDP, and the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge — core PCE. Any upside surprise in inflation may weigh on gold, while geopolitical headlines and fiscal uncertainty are likely to continue supporting the upside.

  • Resistance : $3,364 , $3,400

  • Support : $3,324 , $3,315
