Take a look at this chart: Gold is currently forming a wedge, or triangle pattern – whichever term you prefer. 😊 With wedge patterns, we often see numerous fakeouts in both directions before the real, decisive move occurs. Another characteristic of these patterns is that as we approach the apex – or the 'nose' of the wedge – price movements tend to slow down, increasing the likelihood of a significant breakout in one direction.

This analysis is particularly relevant this week, considering the upcoming USD Federal Fund Rate meeting on Wednesday. The key question is: Will the rate remain at 5.5%, or are we looking at an increase or decrease? Time will indeed tell!

Remember, there's an inverse correlation between the USD and Gold: when one strengthens, the other typically weakens, and vice versa.

A word of caution: be extra vigilant when trading anything related to the USD this week. The market could experience heightened volatility before, during, and after the rate decision. To navigate these choppy waters, I recommend reducing your risk per trade.
