Gold Analysis: All-Time High, But Watch Out for U.S. Data

Gold has once again climbed to a fresh all-time high, driven by strong bullish momentum that has been building since last Friday. For now, the market continues higher almost by inertia, as no strong bearish catalyst has emerged.

However, the Federal Reserve did not confirm the very dovish rate path priced in by the market. This opens the door for strong U.S. data to spark a hawkish repricing of interest rate expectations, highlighting the gap between current market pricing and the Fed’s own projections. Such a shift could trigger a meaningful pullback, similar to the one we saw last year.

In the bigger picture, gold remains supported by the likelihood of falling real yields and the Fed’s generally dovish reaction function. Still, in the short term, traders should stay cautious: any hawkish repricing could lead to corrective moves.

Technical Outlook – Daily Chart
On the daily timeframe, gold has set another all-time high today. From a risk management perspective, buyers will find a better risk-reward setup near the major trendline, while sellers will be watching for a breakdown that could extend the move toward the 3,120 level. Such a correction would likely require strong U.S. data to shift interest rate expectations more aggressively.
