Current: $4657.73
๐ High: $4696.79 | ๐ Low: $4605.34
๐ Change: +6.33 (+0.14%)
๐ต US DOLLAR (DXY): 98.96 (DOWN trend, third weekly decline in four, near three-month lows -> bullish for gold)
๐ฏ KEY LEVELS
๐ด Resistance: $4,700
๐ข Support: $4,554
๐ DAILY BIAS: BULLISH
Gold is above both the 50-day SMA at $4,554 and the 200-day SMA at $4,432, with expanding Bollinger Bands and a positive MACD confirming the trend. Price tagged $4,696 intraday. sellers defended $4,700 but bulls are in full control of structure. Stay long on dips into $4,620-$4,640, and cut it if $4,554 breaks on a daily close.
๐ฅ BREAKOUT / PULLBACK SCENARIOS
- Bullish Case (Preferred): A clean daily close above $4,700 opens $4,760 next, then $4,800-$4,820 in extension. Warsh turns dovish Friday and this move happens fast. don't chase the spike, buy the first pullback to $4,700 if it flips support.
- Bearish Invalidation: Hot PCE Wednesday or a hawkish Warsh Friday breaks price back below $4,620. Lose $4,554 on a close and the 50-day SMA becomes a magnet back toward $4,432. Bias flips neutral below $4,554.
๐ฐ WHAT'S MOVING GOLD
The dollar is the story. DXY sits near three-month lows after the Fed's 9-3 split vote and the Treasury's decision to double its long-term bond buyback program gutted confidence in the greenback. Real rates are deep in negative territory with the Fed funds rate at 5.25% while 10-year yields have eased, pushing institutional money into gold as a real-rate hedge. Middle East geopolitical risk is adding a persistent safe-haven bid and central bank buying continues to underpin the floor.
โ ๏ธ HIGH-IMPACT EVENT
Core PCE for July drops Wednesday, August 26. This is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge and it prints one day before Warsh speaks at Jackson Hole. A hot PCE read kills the rate-cut narrative, fires up yields, lifts the dollar, and gold gets slammed back toward $4,554. A soft print confirms disinflation, crushes the dollar further, and $4,700 breaks on the open Thursday. Friday's Warsh keynote is the tie-breaker. treat Wednesday and Friday as a two-punch volatility event.
