$XAUUSD 1. 1. Macroeconomics: Real rates are rising in the short term and the move is irreversible, while crude oil remains elevated, potentially prompting the Federal Reserve’s next rate hike. Once the hike is implemented, global risk-free yields will continue to rise, putting pressure on gold, silver, stocks, and bonds. Expectations should be lowered.
2. Technicals: The U.S. Dollar Index is challenging the key 101.137 level on the daily chart. If it fails to close above it on the weekly chart, that indicates it remains under pressure; there may be a short-term rebound, but a reversal will be difficult. Gold is consolidating around 4280. The daily chart has not formed a bullish continuation pattern, so there will be no major swing. The lower boundary of the narrowing C-wave is at 4273; holding that level means short-term safety.
3. Sentiment: Everyone knows the key levels, and overly consistent expectations can instead easily create extremely bearish sentiment. There may be small opportunities over the short term, but the long-term outlook is constrained by real rates. Avoid taking extreme positions, and focus on gold’s daily, 4-hour, and weekly charts, as well as the U.S. Dollar Index.
