snapshot
From a technical perspective, the price of gold fell sharply from the high of $3336 in the Asian session to $3268, and bottomed out again at $3273 in the European session. During the US session, boosted by the weakening of the US dollar index, the price of gold bottomed out and rebounded. From the 2-hour chart, the bulls began to gain the upper hand, and it is expected that the US session and tomorrow's market will continue the upward trend. However, from the perspective of the medium-term trend, as long as the price fails to break through the 50.0%-61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the $3260-3500 line (i.e. the $3380-3408 range), the overall bearish pattern will remain. In terms of short-term operations, the support levels below the US session are $3314-3312, and the strong support level is $3302; the short-term resistance level above is $3336-3340, and the strong resistance level is $3352. If the price successfully breaks through this point, it is expected to further impact the $3370-3380 range.
