Gold is experiencing upward momentum driven by heightened geopolitical and political risks. A strong bullish trend is developing, with the price testing the significant resistance at 2725, followed by a false break of this level. This surge is primarily fueled by market concerns surrounding trade tensions, particularly with Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada, the EU, and China if trade agreements are not reached. These threats are contributing to a risk-averse sentiment, thereby increasing demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. However, the strengthening US dollar and expectations of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve are constraining further upside potential for gold.
Market movement in the coming days will largely depend on the overall market sentiment and developments surrounding Trump’s tariff proposals.
From a technical perspective, a false break of such a strong resistance level could temporarily hinder price growth, potentially leading to a correction or consolidation. However, there are certain technical nuances to consider.
Resistance levels: 2720, 2725, 2760
Support levels: 2702, 2697, 2690
A false breakdown at the 0.5 Fibonacci level could trigger aggressive buying activity, with the price approaching the channel resistance.
