How to grasp the bottoming out and rebound of gold prices?Gold rebounded from 3229 today and then retreated from 3232. It rebounded from 3204. Gold fluctuated upward in the European session. So far, it has fluctuated from 3237. Our short position was successfully closed this morning. At present, we will focus on the short-term suppression at 3240-45 and the important suppression at 3253-60. If the rebound does not break, we will go short. From the 4-hour line analysis, the support below continues to focus on 3170-75, with strong support at 3150. The short-term pressure above is at 3240-45, and the key pressure is around 3253-60. The overall support range is to maintain the main tone of high-altitude and low-multiple cycles. For the middle position, watch more and do less, and be cautious in chasing orders. Gold operation strategy: 1. If gold rebounds to 3240-45, short it; if it rebounds to 3253-60, cover short position; stop loss 3266; target 3205-10; if it breaks, continue to hold; 2.

The latest gold operation strategyFrom a technical perspective, gold has been strong recently. Spot gold closed at $3,289.54 per ounce on Tuesday, and further broke through $3,300 in early trading on Wednesday, reaching a high of $3,304.06, a new high in more than a week. In the short term, gold prices need to break through the key resistance level of $3,370 to open up further upside space; $3,150 has formed a solid support below. If there are new variables in the geopolitical situation or economic data, gold prices may even challenge the $3,400 mark. Based on the current trend, the trading idea on Wednesday is clear: wait for the price to fall back and continue to intervene in long orders around 3,300, and maintain a bullish strategy. Gold is recommended to go long in the 3300-3305 area, stop loss at 3292, target at 3315-3330

Gold operation strategyGold can be said to be rather naughty today, Monday. It surged at the opening, hit the highest point of 3250 and then fell back to the lowest point of 3206. Many people in the market chased long positions at the highs of 3240-45. I believe the ending is also quite regrettable. Friends who follow me know that the 3240-53 above are all ideas for shorting. Don't chase long positions at high positions. After all, the important suppression of 3253-60 has not been broken. We shorted at 3230 and then covered our short positions near 3247. We have already taken all the profits out at 3234 and put them in the bag safely. From the 4-hour line analysis, the lower support continues to focus on around 3170-75, the strong support is at the 3150 mark, and the upper pressure is around 3253-60. Relying on this range as a whole, the main tone of high-altitude and low-multiple cycles remains unchanged. In the middle position, watch more and do less, be cautious in chasing orders, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market. 1. Gold rebounds to 3253-60, short, stop loss 3266, target 3275-80, continue to hold if it breaks; 2. Gold falls back to 3170-75, long with light position if it does not break, fall back to 3150-55, long with cover position, stop loss 3144, target 3226-3230, continue to hold if it breaks

Rebound and short selling is still the main themeGold can be said to have fluctuated in a large range today, but the overall trend is more towards the short side. Although gold rose at the opening on Monday, it suddenly made a 360-degree turn at the 3250 line, which made those who were chasing the long position suddenly confused. We went short directly at the 3244 line and also went short near 3247 in the afternoon, and all of them made perfect profits. We have also analyzed gold. The pressure from above is relatively large, and the space above is relatively limited. On the contrary, the space below is relatively large, and rebound shorting is still the current short-term trend! From the analysis of the 4-hour line, the support below continues to focus on the vicinity of 3170-75, the strong support is at the 3150 mark, and the pressure above is around 3253-60. The overall support range is to maintain the main tone of high-altitude low-multiple cycle participation. In the middle position, watch more and do less, and follow orders cautiously, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market. Gold operation strategy: 1. Gold rebounds to 3243-50 line short, rebounds to 3255-60 line to cover short, stop loss 3266, target 3205-10 line, continue to hold if broken; 2. Gold falls back to 3170-75 line without breaking light position long, falls back to 3150-55 line to cover long, stop loss 3144, target 3226-3230 line, continue to hold if broken

Gold Gains on US Credit Downgrade, Tax RiskTVC:GOLD OANDA:XAUUSD Gold (XAU/USD) surged to a one-week high of $3,306 on Tuesday, fueled by rising concerns over the U.S. economic outlook. The metal benefited from a weaker dollar, following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and renewed fears over President Trump’s proposed tax cuts, which could add $3–5 trillion to the national debt. Global risk sentiment also took a hit, with ongoing U.S.-Japan trade tensions and muted progress in U.S.-China talks. Technically, gold is approaching key resistance at $3,306. A firm breakout above $3,306 would signal bullish continuation, while short-term support lies at $3,288 and $3,240. The RSI around 60 suggests consolidation may precede another push higher. With central banks citing U.S. policy uncertainty and geopolitical risks lingering, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains intact. Resistance : $3,306 , $3,364 Support : $3,288 , $3,240

Gold price suddenly rises, how to get out of the trap at night🗞News side: 1. Humanitarian crisis in Gaza Strip, many civilians injured. I hope that world peace is all right 2. The call between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders is still ongoing 📈Technical aspects: After gold fell back after touching 3250, it rose again and has broken through to around 3270. This rapid rise was unexpected. Although the 1H moving average turned upward, the gold price is currently consolidating at a high level. It is not suitable for us to enter the market at this time. We should remain on the sidelines and pay attention to the pressure at 3290 above. The short-term support below needs to pay attention to 3250-2540.

Will gold continue to rise to 3280-3330 today?Hello everyone. Let's discuss the trend of gold this week. Today, Moody's downgraded the US sovereign credit rating from AAA to Aa1 on the grounds of "debt surge and fiscal out of control", ending the US's last "top credit" title among the three major rating agencies. Due to this influence, gold opened sharply higher today, Monday, and the highest so far is around 3250. Here is the 1-hour chart: If gold can continue to rush above 3250 in the short term, then we will see 3280-3300 later. The high point of 3250 may be broken at any time. For now, I think that as long as gold is above 3200 today, gold will continue to rise. So, if you do it in the short term, you can buy in the 3200-3220 range, with 3200 below as defense, and as long as the upper target stands firm at 3250, you can continue to see the 3280-3300-3330 range.

Gold Price Action Analysis (XAU/USD) – 1H ChartThis 1-hour chart of XAU/USD (Gold Spot vs. U.S. Dollar) highlights a key decision point in the market. The price is currently testing a significant resistance zone marked in grey. The note "IF THIS LEVEL GETS BREAKS IT WILL CONTINUE UPWARD" indicates a potential bullish breakout, targeting the upper resistance zone labeled "BUY 1ST TARGET." Conversely, failure to break this level suggests a possible rejection, with a downside move toward the lower support zone labeled "IF NOT GET BROKEN THEN SELL SIDE TARGET." Key structural levels such as BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) are also marked, showing previous shifts in trend direction and liquidity zones. The chart reflects a critical moment for traders watching price action confirmation for directional bias. NOTE: ( ALSO KEEP EYES ON FAKEOUT/DOWN)

Gold Stuck Between 3250 and 3200 – Watch the Breakout!After another week filled with violent price swings, Gold started this week on a much calmer note. Yesterday, after filling the Asia open gap, price pushed up to test the 3250 resistance, only to reverse and fall back toward the 3210 support zone. 🔺 A triangle is forming… but which way will it break? Since last Thursday, price action has been forming an ascending triangle — a pattern that typically favors upside breakouts. But for this to play out, we need a clean break above 3250. If that happens, we could see a fresh 1,000 pips move up in the short term. 📉 What if 3200 fails again? A break back below 3200 would cancel the bullish structure and likely send price toward the 3160 support, or even further down to the 3100 zone. 📊 Trading Plan: For now, I remain on the sidelines, waiting for a clear breakout in either direction. No need to rush — the breakout should bring strong momentum either way.

Will gold fall to 3180-3158?Hello everyone. Let's discuss the trend of gold this week. If you have a different opinion, you can express your different opinions in the comment area. Yesterday, Monday, retail traders made a record bottom-fishing in US stocks, reversing the 1% drop in the S&P 500 index caused by Moody's downgrading the US credit rating last weekend. Yesterday, Monday, gold opened at a high point near 3250, but after the US stock market opened, it basically maintained a downward trend. From the current 1-hour chart, gold has been fluctuating above the 1-hour chart range yesterday, Monday, but there has been a change today. It has continuously fallen below the hourly chart range support position at the opening. Therefore, from the current point of view, gold is likely to retreat downward today, and the 3200 mark is currently difficult to hold. Therefore, we must be alert to the possibility of a retracement today. As for the operation, you can rely on the 3220-3225 range to sell, and look at the target to 3180-3158.

Gold Price Soars After Moody's US Downgrade: What's Next?Gold's Resurgence: A Deep Dive into the Moody's Downgrade and Market Tremors The world of finance is a complex ecosystem, where a single event can trigger a cascade of reactions across global markets. Recently, such an event unfolded as Moody's Investors Service, one of the leading credit rating agencies, delivered a significant blow to the United States' financial standing by downgrading its sovereign credit rating. This unexpected move, occurring after a period of notable decline for gold, sent shockwaves through the financial landscape, prompting a sharp rally in the precious metal's price. In the early hours of Asian trading, gold surged by as much as 1.3%, reaching approximately $3,245 an ounce, a clear testament to its enduring appeal as a safe-haven asset in times of uncertainty. The Catalyst: Moody's Downgrade and its Implications Credit ratings are critical indicators of a borrower's ability to meet its debt obligations. For a sovereign nation, its credit rating influences borrowing costs, investor confidence, and its overall standing in the international financial community. Moody's decision to lower the U.S. sovereign credit rating by one notch, from the pristine Aaa to Aa1, was not taken lightly. The agency pointed to a confluence of persistent and concerning factors. Chief among these were the United States' chronic budget deficits, which have shown little sign of abatement despite various economic cycles. Moody's also highlighted a perceived erosion of political will and institutional strength to effectively address the nation's deteriorating fiscal trajectory. The growing burden of national debt and the escalating costs of servicing this debt were explicitly mentioned as significant concerns underpinning the downgrade. This wasn't the first time the U.S. had faced a credit rating downgrade. In 2011, Standard & Poor's (S&P) stripped the U.S. of its top-tier AAA rating, a move that also sent tremors through global markets. The parallels are noteworthy, as both instances underscored deep-seated concerns about the sustainability of U.S. fiscal policy. A sovereign downgrade, particularly for an economy as pivotal as the United States, has far-reaching consequences. It can lead to higher borrowing costs for the government, potentially impacting everything from infrastructure spending to social programs. Furthermore, it can dent investor confidence, leading to capital outflows or a re-evaluation of risk associated with U.S. assets. The immediate market reaction to Moody's announcement was a textbook flight to safety. The U.S. dollar, typically a beneficiary of global uncertainty, found itself under pressure. As the world's primary reserve currency, the dollar's value is intrinsically linked to the perceived strength and stability of the U.S. economy. A credit downgrade, by questioning that stability, naturally led to a weakening of the greenback. This weakening, in turn, provided a direct tailwind for gold. Gold is priced in U.S. dollars, so a cheaper dollar makes gold more affordable for investors holding other currencies, thereby stimulating demand. Simultaneously, U.S. Treasury bonds, long considered one of the safest investments globally, experienced a sell-off. This might seem counterintuitive, as a flight to safety often includes government bonds. However, a credit downgrade directly impacts the perceived creditworthiness of those bonds. Investors demand a higher yield (return) to compensate for the increased perceived risk, leading to a drop in bond prices (yields and prices move inversely). The Treasury yield curve, which plots the yields of bonds with different maturities, steepened, indicating greater uncertainty about longer-term economic prospects and inflation. U.S. stock futures also registered declines, reflecting concerns that higher borrowing costs and diminished confidence could negatively impact corporate earnings and economic growth. Gold: The Evergreen Safe Haven Amidst this turmoil, gold shone brightly. Its rally was a classic demonstration of its role as a premier safe-haven asset. Throughout history, gold has been a store of value, a tangible asset that retains its worth when paper currencies or other financial instruments falter. Its appeal transcends economic cycles and geopolitical shifts. Unlike fiat currencies, which can be devalued by inflation or government policy, gold's supply is finite, giving it an intrinsic scarcity value. In times of economic stress, such as those signaled by a sovereign credit downgrade, investors flock to gold for several reasons. Firstly, it acts as a hedge against currency depreciation. If the U.S. dollar weakens significantly, holding gold can preserve purchasing power. Secondly, gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation. If a government resorts to inflationary policies to manage its debt burden, the real value of money erodes, while gold tends to hold or increase its value. Thirdly, in periods of heightened geopolitical risk or systemic financial instability, gold provides a sense of security that other assets may not offer. It is a universally accepted medium of exchange and store of wealth, independent of any single government or financial institution. The downgrade by Moody's amplified concerns about the U.S.'s fiscal health, a narrative that has been building for some time. Commentators pointed to over a decade of what they termed "fiscal profligacy," where successive administrations and Congresses have struggled to implement sustainable long-term solutions to the nation's growing debt. The phrase "ticking debt timebomb" resurfaced in financial commentary, underscoring the anxieties surrounding the long-term implications of current fiscal policies for the world's largest economy. These anxieties naturally fueled demand for gold as a protective measure. Adding another layer to these concerns were reports of a U.S. House panel approving proposed tax cuts, which, according to some economic analyses, could add trillions more to the national debt, further exacerbating the fiscal imbalance. The Preceding Slump: A Market Breather The vigorous rally in gold prices was particularly striking given its performance in the preceding week. The metal had been on a downward trajectory, poised for what was described as its steepest weekly decline in six months. This earlier weakness was primarily attributed to a strengthening U.S. dollar and an apparent easing of trade tensions between the United States and China. When geopolitical risks appear to subside and economic optimism grows, investors often rotate out of safe-haven assets like gold and into riskier assets, such as equities, in pursuit of higher returns. This is often referred to as a "risk-on" environment. The announcement of a 90-day pause on tariffs between the U.S. and China had injected a dose of optimism into the markets. This temporary truce in the protracted trade war improved investor sentiment, reducing the perceived need for the kind of insurance that gold provides. Consequently, capital flowed towards assets perceived to benefit more directly from improved global trade and economic growth, leading to a pullback in gold prices. However, the Moody's downgrade swiftly reversed this trend, highlighting how quickly market sentiment can pivot in response to unexpected news. Navigating a Complex Web of Global Influences Gold's price is rarely determined by a single factor. It is subject to a complex interplay of global economic data, geopolitical developments, central bank policies, and investor sentiment. While the Moody's downgrade was the immediate catalyst for the recent rally, other elements continue to shape the landscape. Ongoing geopolitical tensions in various parts of the world provide a persistent undercurrent of support for gold. Any escalation of conflicts or emergence of new geopolitical flashpoints can quickly send investors seeking refuge in the yellow metal. Furthermore, mixed economic data from major economies contributes to market volatility. For instance, softer-than-expected economic indicators from China, the world's second-largest economy, can dampen global growth expectations and influence risk appetite, which in turn affects gold. Statements from key policymakers also carry significant weight. Comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding the potential reimposition of "Liberation Day" tariffs if trade negotiations with certain partners were not conducted in "good faith" served as a reminder that trade uncertainties remain. Such pronouncements can easily reignite concerns and support gold prices. The Long-Term Horizon: Bullish Undertones Persist Despite the short-term volatility, many analysts maintain a constructive long-term outlook for gold. Several underlying factors are expected to provide structural support for the precious metal in the coming years. One such factor is the potential for ongoing U.S. dollar weakness, driven by the country's twin deficits (budget and current account) and a gradual shift by some central banks to diversify their foreign exchange reserves away from an overwhelming reliance on the dollar. This diversification trend, if it continues, could provide a sustained tailwind for gold. Moreover, the policies of major governments and central banks can also influence gold's trajectory. For example, periods of expansionary monetary policy, characterized by low interest rates and quantitative easing, can reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold (which yields no income) and potentially lead to inflationary pressures, both of which are typically gold-positive. It's important to note that gold had already demonstrated strong performance in 2025, even before this latest surge. Year-to-date, the metal had appreciated significantly, reportedly by around 23%, and had even briefly surpassed the $3,500 an ounce mark for the first time in history during April. This underlying strength suggests that broader market forces were already favoring gold. Major financial institutions have also echoed this optimistic long-term view. JPMorgan, for instance, has projected that gold could average $3,675 an ounce by the end of the year, with a potential to reach $4,000 before the close of 2026. Similarly, Goldman Sachs maintained its forecast of $3,700 by year-end and a $4,000 target by mid-2026. These forecasts often consider a range of scenarios, including the path of Federal Reserve interest rate policy and the likelihood of a U.S. recession. Even with expectations of delayed Fed rate cuts and a potentially lower U.S. recession risk, these institutions see considerable upside for gold. Investor Strategy in a Shifting Landscape For investors, the recent events serve as a potent reminder of gold's role in a diversified portfolio. While gold can be volatile in the short term, its ability to act as a hedge against various risks makes it a valuable component for long-term wealth preservation. The Moody's downgrade and the subsequent market reaction underscore the importance of not being complacent about sovereign risk, even in developed economies. Retail investors might consider gold through various avenues, including physical bullion (coins and bars), gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the gold price, or shares in gold mining companies. Institutional investors, such as pension funds and endowments, often allocate a portion of their portfolios to gold as a strategic hedge and a diversifier. The key is to view gold not as a speculative tool for quick profits, but as a long-term strategic holding that can provide stability and protection during periods of economic or geopolitical stress. The optimal allocation to gold will vary depending on an individual's risk tolerance, investment goals, and overall market outlook. Conclusion: Gold's Enduring Relevance The sharp rebound in gold prices following Moody's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating is a multifaceted event with significant implications. It highlights gold's unwavering status as a safe-haven asset, its sensitivity to shifts in U.S. dollar valuation, and the profound impact of sovereign creditworthiness on global financial markets. The downgrade served as a stark reminder of the underlying fiscal challenges confronting the United States and their potential to create ripples of uncertainty that benefit traditional stores of value. Looking ahead, investors and market observers will be keenly focused on upcoming U.S. economic data, pronouncements from the Federal Reserve regarding monetary policy, and the evolving geopolitical landscape. While short-term fluctuations are inevitable, the fundamental factors that have historically supported gold – its role as an inflation hedge, a currency hedge, and a crisis commodity – remain firmly in place. As the global economic and political environment continues to navigate complex challenges, gold is likely to retain its allure as a critical component of a well-diversified investment strategy, a timeless guardian of wealth in an ever-changing world. The recent bounce may be more than just a fleeting reaction; it could be a reaffirmation of gold's enduring value proposition in an era of increasing uncertainty.
