Geopolitical tensions escalate, GOLD is heading to a new peak


Analysis of technical prospects for XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold's upward momentum is temporarily limited by the $2,672 level, the resistance point noted by readers in previous publications.

However, the trend and technical structure remain unchanged, still leaning completely towards the uptrend with the price channel as the short-term trend and EMA21 as the most important support.

However, the price increase is slowing down combined with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) being at the peak of the overbought area, showing that there is not much room for price increases and is consistent with the expectation of a downward adjustment without change the trend.

In the immediate future, gold may adjust down to 2,645 USD, the price point of the 0.786% Fibonacci extension or more than the 0.618% Fibonacci level. It must be noted that a correction is different from a long-term trend, because the main trend of gold prices is bullish so open positions taking advantage of the possibility of a correction should also be closed in the short term.

During the day, the uptrend with the expectation of a correction in gold prices will be noticed by the following levels.
Support: 2,645 – 2,624USD
Resistance: 2,672USD

GOLD fell as investors took profits
הערה
After many consecutive trading sessions setting new peaks, the world gold market today showed signs of slowing down. However, the overall growth trend is still maintained thanks to strong expectations that the Fed will continue to adjust interest rates down.
הערה
Faced with the reality of gold scarcity in the world, experts predict that gold prices have a lot of room to grow in the near future, possibly even reaching 3,000 USD/ounce.

Since the beginning of the third quarter until now, gold prices have increased 14%. This is the highest increase in a quarter since the beginning of 2016 until now. Overall, from the beginning of 2024 until now, gold prices have increased by 29%, marking the highest increase in the past 14 years.
הערה
Gold prices increased to a record level, helping many gold buyers win big. According to Gold Price, people who bought gold and held it for the past 6 months are earning more than 400 USD/ounce. Those who bought gold and held it for the past year are earning about 700 USD/ounce.
הערה
However, the problem that many investors and experts are concerned about right now is that the gold price is deep in the overbought zone, clearly shown through the MACD, RSI... Therefore, the possibility of pressure cannot be ruled out. Profit taking will increase again, causing gold prices to suffer another correction next week at the current high price range.
הערה
During the US session, Fed Chairman Powell is expected to give a speech on the economic outlook at the 66th annual meeting of the National Association for Business Economics. Most likely, he will not give any new information compared to the previous press conference because he has not yet announced a new CPI or NFP report. So this speech may be notable but probably won't make a big impact.
הערה
Gold continued to adjust sharply downward at the beginning of the week and bottomed at 2,630 USD/oz during the session. Profit-taking ahead of China's long holiday and cautious market sentiment appear to be putting pressure on XAU/USD as the market awaits Fed Chairman Powell's speech.
הערה
The stimulus package announced by the People's Bank of China (PBoC) continues to have positive effects. The rise of the Chinese stock market may also affect gold prices due to more attractive yields. Gold is still in extreme overbought territory, so further upside may be hampered.
