Gold Continues Slight Pullback

117
📊 Market Overview:

• Gold prices dropped ~0.7% to around $3,319/oz as optimism over the US trade negotiations and a tariff delay (from July 9 to August 1) reduced safe-haven demand.
• The US dollar strengthened slightly on upbeat economic data and expectations that the Fed will not cut interest rates in July, adding pressure on gold prices.

📉 Technical Analysis:
• Key resistance: $3,348 – $3,360 – $3,400
• Nearest support: $3,318 – $3,290
• EMA09: Gold is trading below the EMA50, indicating a short- to mid-term bearish bias.
• Candle/volume/momentum: On the 1H and 15-min charts, the price structure shows a clear bearish expansion – trading below pivot levels with a "bearish opening" setup, suggesting strong selling momentum.

📌 Outlook:
Gold may continue to move slightly lower in the short term if positive trade headlines and USD strength persist. However, if there’s unexpected negative news—like geopolitical tensions or a Fed policy pivot—gold could quickly rebound.

President Trump stated that he will impose a 25% tariff on Japan and South Korea.

This might be the reason why gold prices surged to $3345.
