Gold is forecast to continue to decline deeplyGold prices steadied in Asian trading today after posting strong overnight gains as some mild inflation data dragged the dollar to a one-month low and raised expectations of a rate cut. capacity.
The yellow metal has now returned to record highs reached in May, as traders bet more that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will start cutting interest rates as soon as September. The dollar fell sharply on Wednesday on this view, which should benefit overall metal prices.
Gold prices are up more than 1% from Wednesday after data showed US consumer price index inflation fell in April from March, while core CPI also fell from the previous month.
The figures, followed by weaker-than-expected retail sales data, raised hopes that inflation will ease in the coming months, giving the Fed more confidence in starting to cut interest rates.
The CME Fedwatch tool shows traders are pricing in a higher likelihood of a 25 basis point cut in September, at nearly 54%.
High interest rates push up the opportunity cost of investing in gold and other precious metals because they do not bring direct profits. The yellow metal could also benefit from increased safe-haven demand if the US economy cools further this year.

💥 Technically
Gold retreated to around 2330 with support from EMA 89. Gold price rebounded from this area, showing that the main trend of the market is still uptrend. It can be said that gold is stuck within the trendline border in the h4 frame and is heading towards the lower trendline area. The support level of 2330 is still enough to push the gold price to 2360 or 2375 if it remains above the important technical area of 2330. If you break out of 2375, then Correctly determined according to the current market trend is that gold will touch the old peak of 2432 in June or September.
Gold back to 2400?Gold prices continued their uptrend on Thursday and rose more than 1% as US Treasury yields fell, reducing the greenback's appeal. Labor market data from the United States was weaker, increasing the chances of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve despite facing inflationary pressures.
XAU/USD's daily chart shows it has slowed its recovery around the slightly elevated 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA), at around $2,345. Longer moving averages maintain their upward slope well below current levels, while technical indicators remain below midlines with no clear directional strength. Overall, Gold extends its consolidation phase ahead of a suitable directional catalyst.
Looking ahead and according to the 4-hour chart, XAU/USD is neutral. The pair met with intraday buyers around the bullish 200 SMA but failed to extend gains beyond the slightly bearish 100 SMA. Finally, technical indicators remained unchanged at positive levels, showing that bulls are more willing to jump in.
The resistance zone at 2375 is currently expected by investors to be able to reduce the increase throughout today. The price range of 2375 and 2352 will be the trading range in today's US session. If the recovery level is nice enough, gold's destination will return to around 2400 soon.

BUY zone 2353-2351 SL 2348
Gold continues to go up, entry buy todayCooling US inflation pushed gold prices up nearly 30 USD an ounce, and helped Wall Street set a new record.
Closing the trading session on May 15, each ounce of world gold for immediate delivery increased by 27 USD to 2,385 USD. During the session, gold price at one point touched 2,390 USD - the highest in nearly a month.
The market went up due to the weakening of the USD and falling US government bond yields, after the country announced that April inflation increased more slowly than forecast. This data has strengthened the possibility of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) reducing interest rates.
The US consumer price index (CPI) increased by 0.3% last month. In February and March, the increase was 0.4%. This shows that inflation has restored its downward trend, giving investors more confidence that the Fed will lower interest rates from September.
CPI "may be an early indicator showing that in the long term, inflation will cool down and the Fed will have the first decision to reduce interest rates," said Phillip Streible - market strategist at Blue Line Futures. CME FedWatch tracker shows that investors currently place a 74% chance of a Fed rate cut in September.
The index tracking USD prices with a basket of major currencies - Dollar Index yesterday decreased 0.6%, reaching its lowest level in more than a month. This makes gold more attractive to buyers outside the US. The 10-year US government bond yield also fell to a one-month low.

Gold prices rose to their highest level in more than 3 weeks on May 15 (US time) thanks to support from the weakness of the greenback and falling yields after the latest inflation report. Published data showed that the US consumer price index in April increased less than expected, increasing the possibility of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed). The dollar fell 0.5% to its lowest level in more than a month, making gold more attractive to holders of other currencies. Benchmark 10-year Treasury yields also hit a more than 1-month low.
The CPI data “could be an early sign that over time inflation will cool and the Fed will make its first rate cut,” Blue Line Futures chief market strategist Phillip Streible said.
The CPI rose 0.3% last month after rising 0.4% in March and February, suggesting inflation continued its downward trend at the beginning of the second quarter. This has pushed up financial market expectations of an interest rate cut in September. According to Reuters poll results, economists forecast CPI to increase 0.4% in the month and up 3.4% over the month. with the same period last year.
Technically, bullish gold futures have the solid overall near-term technical advantage. Kitco Metals senior analyst Jim Wyckoff wrote in a note that bulls' next upside target is to produce a close for June futures above solid resistance. probably at 2,400 USD/ounce.
GOLD-Pay attention to the impact of CPI data
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he was less confident than before that inflation will come down. However, it emphasized that it does not believe that the next step may be to raise interest rates, and is more likely to maintain the policy interest rate at the current level. The U.S. economy is performing very well and has a very strong labor market. GDP is expected to continue growing at 2% or higher. The PPI data is actually quite mixed, with uncertainty as to whether inflation will persist. Today we are paying attention to the seasonally adjusted CPI annual rate data in the United States at the end of April. It is expected to have a greater impact on the market. Please pay attention to the risks.
Since gold's slow decline to bottom out at 2330 on Monday, it has turned from a weak shock to a strong shock. It can be seen from Tuesday's U.S. market that even if the data is not conducive to gold, it is difficult to suppress the slow rise of gold. The U.S. market has been gradually rising. performance, and fell back to a high of 2360 for the second time. It is determined that today is a strong performance. Therefore, the current view is that it is a strong rise for the time being.
From a technical point of view, the daily line closed above the Bollinger Band on Tuesday. Although it has not yet formed a unilateral rise, the current strong state may reach the daily Bollinger Band high of around 2378, including the 4H cycle. , during the continuous rise, the 4H K-line maintained strong continuous green candles, and the rising momentum was very strong. Let’s first look at the Bollinger upper track high near 2372 for Wednesday’s rise.
If the European market continues to rise, I think you can sell when it reaches the resistance point of 2375-2378 for the first time, or wait for the support point of 2342-2345 to buy, and set the SL
There is CPI data in the US market. It is expected that the market will fluctuate greatly and the risk will be relatively high. If you don’t want to bet on the data, you can wait for the data to be released and follow the trend to trade.
The above strategies are for your reference, but the market changes quickly, and you need to change your strategies in real time according to the trend, so that your success rate will increase.

Spot gold price increased 0.2% to 2,338.78 USD/ounce, while gold futures price increased 0.1% to 2,344.70 USD/ounce.

The weak jobs report and lower-than-expected US non-farm payrolls reported in April released last week have increased expectations about the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates this year. According to a majority of economists polled by Reuters news agency, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates twice this year, starting in September.

GOLD-analyze
The focus of the market this week will be the US PPI data released on Tuesday, followed by the CPI data on Wednesday. Consumer prices came in higher than expected in the first quarter, suggesting the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates less often this year. Then, job growth in April was weaker than expected, leading investors to rekindle bets on two rate cuts of 25 basis points each this year, but that view depends largely on softening inflation and awaits more news from the market. . In addition, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell and European Central Bank Governing Council Member Knott jointly attended a meeting and delivered a speech on Tuesday, which also needs to be focused on.
Yesterday, gold started to fall from 2364, reaching the lowest level near 2332. With this trend, unless you sell from the beginning, it will be difficult to follow the trend. If you are not an aggressive trader, it will be difficult to trade yesterday. Therefore, during yesterday's decline, I No suitable opportunity found
After yesterday's decline, we can confirm that the high point of this cycle is 2378, which is difficult to break. However, if the Bollinger Band does not break, it may also fluctuate at a high level. Therefore, there is no absolute long-short trend.
Today’s key support point is 2330. If it cannot fall below 2330, I think it is likely to continue to rebound. The upper resistance is around 2350 and 2365.
Today you can try to buy near 2330-2335, SL: 2326, or wait for the first resistance point 2350 to sell, use small lot, or wait for 2365 to sell, and make reasonable arrangements according to your own funds

GOLD main long targets using elliott waveHere’s a refined analysis of the 4-hour chart using Elliott Wave Theory:
The chart exhibits an impulsive bullish movement that began at 1984. The first wave (Wave 1) culminated at 2194. This was followed by a correction to the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level at 2147, marking the end of Wave 2.
The subsequent upward trend formed Wave 3, which concluded at the 1.272 Fibonacci expansion level of 2430. After this peak, the chart underwent an A-B-C correction, with Wave 4 terminating at the 0.5 Fibonacci level of 2280—this level was determined by measuring the trough of Wave 2 and the peak of Wave 3.
Currently, the chart is progressing through Wave 5, which has the potential to ascend to 2485. There is also a possibility for further elevation to 2540 and 2612, corresponding to the 1.272 and 1.618 Fibonacci extension levels, respectively.
Here’s the summary in a cleaner format:
Start of Bullish Move: 1984
Wave 1 Peak: 2194
Wave 2 Retracement: 2147 (0.236 Fibonacci level)
Wave 3 Peak: 2430 (1.272 Fibonacci expansion)
Wave 4 Trough: 2280 (0.5 Fibonacci level)
Potential Wave 5 Targets: 2485, 2540, 2612 (1.272 and 1.618 Fibonacci extensions)
This analysis suggests that the current trend is in a strong bullish phase, with Wave 5 having the potential to reach significant Fibonacci extension levels. Keep an eye on these targets for potential resistance points.

The geopolitical situation is still the biggest topic in the capital market this cycle. Conflicts in various regions in the Middle East are gradually increasing. Israel has launched a full-scale attack on the Gaza Strip. Neighboring countries have also begun to launch countermeasures against Israel. Large-scale conflicts are about to break out. Gold may increase in risk aversion in the future. Emotionally, everyone should be cautious about the temporary weak state. In the U.S. market, no important economic data was released today, and investors continued to pay attention to the speeches of other Federal Reserve officials.
In the short term, gold still fluctuates within a range, with no continuity in its rise and fall.
For temporary fluctuations, effective trading is mainly short-term, but always pay attention to breakthroughs with unilateral strength. For trading now, you need to set the SL larger. The important support today is around 2298-2303.
Buying is still the main focus today. The market changes rapidly. You need to adjust your strategy in time to follow the market trend so that you can ensure a certain profit.
