Short XAUUSD: Targeting 2870 – A Tactical PlayTechnical Analysis: Recent patterns suggest a potential bearish move. Analysts have identified key support levels at $3,048, $2,953, and $2,858, with deeper support around $2,870. These levels may present opportunities for short positions if the price retraces.
Market Volatility: The announcement of new tariffs by President Donald Trump has led to significant market fluctuations. Gold prices initially surged to record highs but experienced sharp declines shortly after, indicating potential instability and opportunities for short positions.
Central Bank Activity: While central banks have been purchasing gold, there is an expectation that these purchases may decrease if prices remain elevated. A reduction in central bank demand could exert downward pressure on gold prices.
Interest Rate Expectations: Anticipation of economic slowdowns due to tariff implementations has led markets to expect interest rate cuts. However, if these cuts do not materialize as expected, it could strengthen the U.S. dollar, making gold less attractive and potentially leading to price declines.
