In the first trading day of the week, the Asian session for XAUUSD continued its upward momentum, with prices approaching $2733, setting a new historical high. However, by the end of the Asian session, gold prices retreated from these elevated levels.
Fundamental Analysis: Despite the dollar remaining close to its highest level since early August, uncertainty surrounding the U.S. presidential election and expectations of Israeli retaliation against Iran have fueled demand for safe-haven assets. The recent surge in gold prices has occurred amid a strengthening dollar and rising U.S. interest rates, with escalating tensions in the Middle East. The upcoming BRICS summit highlights the continued demand for gold among central banks, indicating a bullish trend from a fundamental perspective.
Technical Analysis: Currently, there are no significant resistance levels for gold's upward trend, especially after breaching new highs and surpassing previous resistance levels. Market sentiment remains increasingly bullish. From the 4-hour chart of gold, the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) continues to provide support. However, historical trends suggest that the current upward movement may trigger some profit-taking, potentially forcing gold prices into a short-term correction before resuming the upward trajectory.
Therefore, it is recommended for day traders to consider going long on XAUUSD during any pullbacks. For detailed entry points for long positions, please feel free to contact me, and I will provide you with professional analysis and guidance.
