Fundamental analysis
US President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 Presidential election has increased the chances of Donald Trump becoming the next US President, raising hopes of a looser regulatory environment. Additionally, the People's Bank of China's (PBoC) surprise interest rate cut on Monday still supported the market's optimistic sentiment and became the main factor acting as a drag on precious metals This safe haven.
However, dovish expectations from the Federal Reserve (Fed) will help limit losses for non-yielding Gold prices. In fact, market participants seem confident that the US central bank will begin lowering borrowing costs in September and have priced in the possibility of two more rate cuts by the end of the year. This triggered a fresh decline in US Treasury yields, putting US Dollar (USD) bulls on the defensive and supporting the yellow metal. Therefore, it would be wise to wait for some follow-through selling first with a buying strategy to extend the all-time high that has just been established.
Technical analysis
Gold was about to test the support level of 2386 but the selling force was no longer enough to reach the support zone yesterday. Gold price recovered to above 2400 in the third European trading session. Gold is breaking the trendline structure of the h1 frame to form an uptrend. If you can close the candle above the 2402 area, gold will be ready to conquer higher levels during the day.
The first level of strong resistance could be around 2420 and next at 2431 which will help restrain the rise in gold prices. And the SELL signals are established there. On the contrary, after failing to find 2384 again, the deeper support areas at 2366 and 2350 become more difficult to reach today.
The RSI index in the h4 frame is still below the average level of 50. However, the RSI has just crossed the MA 9 line, also showing that buyers have begun to jump in to push the price up.
