Market news:
In the early Asian session on Tuesday (April 8), spot gold fluctuated widely and is currently trading around $2,995/ounce. Gold prices fell nearly 2% on Monday, falling for three consecutive trading days. The lowest intraday price hit $2,956/ounce, a drop of nearly $100. London gold bulls suffered a bloodbath. After the United States' comprehensive tariffs triggered concerns about a global economic recession, investors turned to the US dollar as a safe haven. However, given the grim economic situation, there is still a certain amount of bargain hunting to support international gold prices.Trump refuted rumors of a 90-day suspension of tariffs, pushing the US dollar index to rebound. When the US dollar appreciates, gold becomes expensive for buyers holding foreign currencies. Amid market turmoil, investors turned to cash and safe haven assets such as the Swiss franc and the yen, which raised the risk of a deeper correction in gold prices. It should be reminded that although Federal Reserve Chairman Powell did not say that the Fed was eager to resume rate cuts, federal funds rate futures traders increased their bets on the number of rate cuts the Fed will make this year. This week’s U.S. economic focus will be the March consumer price and producer price reports, which will be released on Thursday and Friday, respectively. Data from last Friday showed that employers added more jobs than expected last month, but the unemployment rate also rose!
Technical Review:
The gold daily line structure continued to fluctuate downward, the moving average opened downward, and the RSI indicator ran below the middle axis. The rise was not continuous, and the tariff impact remained. Yesterday, the market reported a 90-day tariff suspension. It can be seen that U.S. stocks, crude oil, gold and silver all rose rapidly, and then it was confirmed to be false news, and then fell back quickly. It can be seen that as long as the impact of the tariff news does not change, all assets will continue to sell.
The market is currently in a two-way power game between the selling of risky assets and the rising demand for risk aversion. Although gold is a safe-haven asset, it is also facing the pressure of liquidity withdrawal. In the context of the unclear Fed policy and the continued escalation of global trade concerns, the price of gold may continue to maintain a volatile pattern, and the main idea is to sell at a high price! However, the current fluctuation is too fast and the amplitude is too large, so short-term operations may not be easy to start, but the direction is still the most important, followed by the position, which means that gold will fall sharply. Gold hit 2956 and then bottomed out and rebounded, but the recent market is actually volatile. Because the fluctuation is relatively large, it is reasonable to have a larger amplitude, but it increases the difficulty of operation. Gold fell back after rising again, and now it is caught in a large range of fluctuations, but the overall trend is still selling.
Today's analysis:
Yesterday's early trading had a new low, and another new low in the evening. In such a market environment, new lows continue to appear. This is a weak market, and this is a selling market. When the 3000 point fell below, the faith of many investors collapsed. They wanted to stand firm at the 3000 mark, but it broke at this moment, which means that the current downward trend has not ended yet, and continue to sell along with the trend. The 1-hour moving average of gold continues to cross downward and sell, and the selling force has not weakened; the rebound is still short. Although gold rushed higher after filling the gap in 1 hour, the upper shadow line came down quickly. The overall trend is still weak, and the short-term pressure is around 3030! Today's rebound is under pressure at the resistance of 3030, and it is still possible to continue selling. The market is changing rapidly. Although gold seems to have rebounded strongly, it eventually rushed up and fell back. Gold is still the main place for selling, but now it is more volatile. Pay attention to patiently wait for the rebound, and the volatility should not be underestimated. However, the idea is to continue to sell at a high price.
