A comparative examination of the strength of the US-Dollar often gives tangible insight into the direction of Gold (XAUUSD). The chart above indicates the expectation of a bullish price reaction from the demand zone. Increased strength for the Dollar simply implies possible bearish reactions for Gold. With this in mind, let's take a look at the Gold (XAUUSD) chart.
Earlier on from the daily timeframe, we saw a confluence between the Pivot zone and the drop-base-drop supply zone. We also had the 200-Day Moving Average as an added confluence. These factors led to the bias I initially submitted last week. With this in mind, let's look at how far this has played out in hopes of getting us ready for the next wave.
Price has safely navigated its way to the highlighted supply zone and has faced an initial rejection from the zone. The expectation from this is that we get to see a reversal in the trend toward the 100-Day Moving Average. Once more, let's look at the lower timeframe price action.
Here on the H4, we see price trading within the ascending wedge, and into the supply zone. This serves to buttress our initial directional bias for a bearish reversal. A conservative approach would be to wait for price to break out of the wedge first with a retest of the trendline before hopping into the trade. However, the aggressive move would be to take the trade right away, off the supply zone.

The European Central Bank (ECB) has raised interest rates by 25 basis points, marking its tenth consecutive rate hike since July 2022 and bringing the total increase to 450 basis points. The ECB is primarily concerned about high inflation levels, both current and projected, with concerns extending into the future.
The upcoming August inflation data may send mixed signals. The 12-month headline inflation rate is expected to rise to 3.6%, causing concerns for the Biden administration. However, core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, is projected to decrease to 4.3%, aligning with the Federal Reserve's goals. Past price trends influence both figures, so looking at recent data for a more accurate picture is crucial.
The odds of a final interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) this year have dropped after US job openings hit their lowest levels since early 2021. This has led to a correction in the US Dollar as traders reduced their bets on further rate hikes.
The past several weeks have been a real triumph for the bulls in the oil market. The Brent spot price grew by 8.5% during the last month.
Gold prices are rising for three consecutive days ahead of the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate decision, which is expected to remain unchanged due to declining inflation and a positive economic outlook. Investors are keen on the Fed's interest rate guidance, fearing a hawkish stance that could trigger market risk aversion.
Amid concerns of a Chinese economic slowdown, reports of declining investment often overlook China's efficient investment strategy in emerging sectors for long-term growth. China has taken measures to stabilize foreign and private sector investments, like reducing the reserve requirement ratio to boost investor confidence.
