Pay attention to Powell's statement, GOLD corrects and recovers

10月1日

XAUUSD There were 2 consecutive sessions of price decline at the end of last month, mainly due to profit-taking activities without affecting the uptrend both fundamentally and technically.
From a monthly perspective, gold prices rose more than 6% in September, reaching a peak of $2,685.42 last Thursday, mainly due to the Federal Reserve's 50 basis point cut, stimulus measures China's preferences and escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Today (Tuesday), Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will give a speech at the National Association of Business Economics, which is expected to cause violent fluctuations in gold prices. Gold traders will pay close attention to Powell's comments for further information on the future direction of the Fed's monetary policy.

• If Powell signals a stronger interest rate cut, gold prices will certainly have to be pushed higher, because lower interest rates often reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets like gold, making them more attractive to investors.
• However, if Powell is cautious and signals a slower pace of interest rate cuts, gold may face downward pressure.
According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, the market is currently pricing in a 36.7% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by 50 basis points in November.

In addition, the geopolitical situation in the Middle East has escalated, which has supported gold prices.
Over the weekend, Israel continued to attack Lebanon and claimed to have killed a senior figure of Hezbollah following the murder of the organization's leader Hassan Nasrallah. Iran, which backs the powerful rebel group, vowed to fight back and noted that Nasrallah's killing "will not go unanswered".

Analysis of technical prospects for XAUUSD
On the daily chart, after gold's downside correction, it recovered from the 0.618% Fibonacci extension and the current corrections still do not affect the main technical trend.

The short-term uptrend is noticeable because the price channel remains stable, and as long as gold remains in the price channel, its short-term trend and outlook are still bullish.

In addition, if gold breaks above the 2,645 USD price point of the 0.786% Fibonacci extension, it will have room to increase further with the goal of returning to the 2,672 USD area. This means that $2,645 is the closest resistance currently.

During the day, the technical bullish outlook remains unchanged and notable levels are listed again as follows.
Support: 2,624 – 2,610 – 2,600USD
Resistance: 2,645 – 2,650USD

In the context of rising global debt and instability, gold remains the only asset that does not carry third-party risks and does not come with geopolitical risks. These are the two main reasons why major central banks continuously hoard gold.

The strong payroll report seems to have made investors certain of a cut of 25 basis points (0.25%) instead of 50 basis points. Prices have declined in the short term, but optimism remains for gold.
