XAUUSD | GOLDSPOT | New perspective | follow-up details
Gold's recent performance faced an unexpected twist, challenging the notion that a Fed rate pause could be its ticket to a breakout. Instead, the precious metal found itself in the shadow of its formidable rival, the US dollar.
The preceding week had seen gold bask in the glory of the US non-farm payrolls report for August. Despite an employment gain of 187,000 jobs, surpassing the forecasted 170,000, the unemployment rate inched up from July's 3.5% to 3.8%. This unexpected rise fueled speculation that the upcoming Fed meeting on Sept. 20 might result in unchanged interest rates, briefly propelling gold higher.
However, as the week unfolded, a new narrative emerged. Speculation resurfaced, suggesting that the Fed might consider not just a pause but potentially more rate hikes before year-end to achieve its 2% annual inflation target. Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rekindled in July, surging to 3.2%. These mounting concerns prompted the Dollar Index to soar to six-month highs.
Now, the burning question is: What lies ahead for the Gold market in the coming week? Join us as we unravel the intricacies and potential scenarios in this ever-evolving landscape.
XAUUSD Technical Analysis:
In this video, we delve into XAUUSD from a price action-based technical analysis standpoint. By analyzing historical price moves, market behaviors, and buyer-seller dynamics, we extract insightful cues.
The $1,915 zone will take center stage for this week. Its historical significance makes it a crucial point. If the bullish momentum is sustained then the breakout of the uptrend continuation pattern - falling wedge identified on the daily timeframe could incite a strong uptrend continuation. However, if the price breaks below both the ascending trendline and the $1,915 zone then some selling opportunities could take center stage to trigger a USD-favored sell-off.

Price continues to hold above our key level - $1,915 support level, marking a robust start to the new trading week. The bulls have staged an impressive breakout above the $1,924 resistance, bringing us closer to the $1,930 zone.
Our approach is to exercise patience and closely monitor how the price reacts upon reaching the $1,930 level. A successful breakout and retest of this zone could offer promising buying opportunities. Nonetheless, it's essential to remain vigilant as there's a likelihood of price revisiting the $1,924 level before embarking on its upward trajectory.

Ensure your sell positions are secure. Although the weekly trend still maintains its bearish outlook, there has been a recent development in the last 18 hours. Price action seem to have encountered support around the $1,909 zone, causing bears to face difficulty in pushing prices lower. As all eyes are now on the upcoming US CPI data release, with economists forecasting an increase to 3.6%, we will closely monitor how market participants position themselves ahead of this event. Keep in mind that the descending trendline remains a crucial reference point for today's trading decisions.

As the second hour of the NY session unfolds, price action is showing signs of transitioning into a potential reversal pattern, which could trigger an uptrend. The surprising US CPI data, coming in at 3.7%, surpassing all expectations, sets a tone that validates the potential for an interest rate hike. However, as we await the PPI data scheduled for tomorrow—a crucial economic indicator—we may not yet witness a strong uptrend favoring the US dollar. I suspect a potential decline in the US Dollar's price, creating a more favorable "buy" opportunity in the future.
For now, it's advisable to secure all sell positions as we anticipate a breakout/retest of the neckline at $1,913.50, which could present buying opportunities. We should also keep the option of a breakdown/retest of the $1,909 level open.
