Gold's Bullish Impulse Meets Resistance at Previous Level

During the Asian trading session, gold experienced a bullish surge, retracing towards the previous resistance area. This level may once again act as a point of rebound, potentially intensifying the bearish pressure on the precious metal. The current market sentiment leans towards a rush for safety, leading to increased demand for the US dollar, which weighs on gold prices.

Nevertheless, there is some relief for gold as optimism surfaces in the bond markets following the initial response to the agreement among United States policymakers to extend the debt ceiling and avert a potential default. This positive development appears to have established a floor under the price of gold. However, it is worth noting that the XAU/USD bears remain in control, driven by ongoing challenges to market sentiment and a cautious approach in anticipation of significant upcoming data releases and events.
