Lingrid | GOLD Weekly Outlook: Anticipating Short-Term PullbackOANDA:XAUUSD market dropped from the resistance zone, forming a double top. The PCE inflation data triggered a pullback, leading to a 2% decline from the highs—similar to the decline we saw around two months ago. On the weekly timeframe, the price formed a long-tailed bar, signaling a rejection candle, and ultimately closed below the previous weekly high.
Additionally, the price broke and closed below the upward trendline that had supported the market since the beginning of February. This breakout suggests a pause in the bullish momentum. On the daily timeframe, the market formed an engulfing candle at the resistance zone, indicating that the price may retrace toward the 2820 and 2830 levels.
We’ve seen seven consecutive bullish weeks. Typically, after such strong momentum, the market either moves sideways or experiences a quick pullback. Given that there are few USD-related news events next week, I expect the market to potentially push lower. However, due to concerns about tariffs, there is also a chance the price could consolidate around the current zone before pushing higher. In any case, we must remain responsive to price action as it unfolds.
