XAUUSD | GOLDSPOT | New perspective | follow-up detail

Updated
Gold took a tumble last Friday, reversing its upward trend after disappointing economic data from the US. We saw a near 1% drop following a two-week high of $2477, driven by concerns about the health of the US economy.

The latest Nonfarm Payrolls figures fell short of expectations, adding only 114K jobs in July, a significant miss from the estimated 175K. This comes on the heels of a dismal ISM Manufacturing PMI report, raising concerns about the health of the US economy.

Major banks like Bank of America, Citi, and JP Morgan have adjusted their forecasts, now anticipating more aggressive rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

While gold remains bullish in the current environment, the path forward isn't clear.

What’s next for gold? With the market dynamics shifting, the path of least resistance for this safe-haven asset remains bullish. But which route will it take?

In this video, I dive deep into my swing trading strategy and share how I plan to navigate the current market environment. Join me as I break down the latest developments and outline my approach to capitalize on potential opportunities in the gold market next week.


XAUUSD Technical Overview:
This week, we're focusing on the crucial $2,20 - $2,425 zone. This is a big deal for gold traders - it could be a make-or-break point. If gold stays above this zone: Bulls might maintain control, potentially pushing prices higher and setting up new highs. If gold drops below the zone then Bears might gain the upper hand, and prices could head south breaking down the support line of the ascending channel in the process.

Note
Gold prices opened the week on a cautious note, trading defensively as market participants await crucial US economic data for directional cues.

Key Drivers:
📈 US Economic Data: Today's release of the ISM Services PMI, projected to rise to 51.0 from 48.8 in June, is anticipated to provide significant market direction. A stronger-than-expected reading could bolster the USD and potentially cap gold's upside.
📉 Dovish Fed Sentiment and Softer US Employment Data: The recent FOMC meeting's dovish stance and the subdued US employment report continue to exert downward pressure on US Treasury bond yields and the USD, which could support gold prices.
🌎 Geopolitical Tensions: Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to provide a supportive backdrop for traditional safe-haven assets like gold.
Technical Analysis:

📊 1H Timeframe: A new structural pattern has emerged on the 1H timeframe, providing potential trading opportunities ahead of this event.

Gold prices are currently consolidating yesterday's sharp decline, struggling to regain momentum amidst a resurgence in US Dollar strength and rising Treasury bond yields. The initial sell-off was fueled by risk-on sentiment, leading to a move below our week's key level at $2,420 - $2,425 zone.

While expectations of potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could eventually cap US yields and the Dollar's rise, geopolitical tensions stemming from ongoing conflicts in the Middle East continue to provide support for Gold as a safe-haven asset.

Technical analysis reveals a potential reversal pattern forming, suggesting a possible shift in market direction. This structure will serve as a key indicator for us today, guiding both buy and sell decisions depending on the market's ultimate trajectory.

With the absence of major US economic releases today, caution is advised before positioning for a sustained extension of yesterday's downturn. The current consolidation phase provides an opportunity to closely monitor market developments and identify potential entry points based on the emerging technical structure newly identified on the 1H timeframe.

Note
Gold prices have exhibited continued consolidation over the past 24 hours, reflecting a balance of mixed fundamental drivers. Recent strength in the US Dollar (USD), driven by a recovery in US Treasury bond yields and a generally positive risk sentiment, has capped significant gains for XAU/USD.

The recent global equity market sell-off, initially fueled by recession fears in the US, has moderated due to bargain buying, placing some pressure on gold prices. Despite this, the upside remains supported by ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which continue to bolster gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset.

Currently, XAU/USD is trading within a range of $2,380 to $2,397.50. We anticipate observing how the price navigates this range to identify potential trading opportunities. We will delve deeper into this market dynamic in our upcoming live session.

Note
Gold prices continue to consolidate, trading within the $2,380 to $2,397.50 range for the past four days, highlighting ongoing market uncertainty.

Despite this range-bound movement, gold appears positioned for potential gains, supported by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and a modest weakening of the US Dollar (USD). Recent corrections in USD and bond yields have provided some support to gold prices. However, the current lack of strong bullish momentum suggests exercising caution before taking significant long positions, even though the broader fundamental outlook remains favorable for bulls.

The structure on the chart remains valid for trading opportunities today as we wait for clear signals.

With two buy positions currently active; Gold consolidates around our week's key level at $2,420, exhibiting signs of continued upside potential. However, recent positive economic data from the US and China may impact investor sentiment, potentially leading to increased risk appetite and a shift away from safe-haven assets. Therefore, securing some profits from existing buy positions is advisable at this juncture.

Despite this, gold's upside remains supported by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

Additionally, rising bets for a Fed rate cut in September have driven down US Treasury bond yields, limiting the US Dollar's strength and potentially providing technical support for XAUUSD. These factors are likely to limit further losses for gold and constrain the US Dollar (USD).

A detailed discussion of the current market dynamics and potential trading opportunities will be provided during our upcoming live session. Join me as we prepare for the market's direction ahead of the weekend. See you soon!
