XAUUSD: Market Analysis and Strategy for July 31st

333
Gold Technical Analysis:
Daily chart resistance: 3351, support: 3250
4-hour chart resistance: 3335, support: 3270
1-hour chart resistance: 3315, support: 3290.

Gold was trading sideways between 3320 and 3333 yesterday before the New York market. During the US trading session, the release of US ADP employment figures and PCE price data was bearish for gold, causing it to plummet below Monday's low of 3301. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, and Powell's hawkish speech sent gold plummeting to around $3268.


Affected by the news, gold prices fell rapidly yesterday, reaching a low near the lower Bollinger band on the daily chart. It rebounded in the Asian session today, reaching a high near 3315. Selling is recommended in the sideways range between 3310 and 3320. The US PCE data will be released in the New York market, so avoid the news release period.

BUY: near 3290

SELL: near 3270

Today, the NY market released the US July non-farm payroll data (expected to increase by 110K, previous value of 147K). If the data is weak (<100K), it will strengthen the expectation of a September rate cut, which may cause the US dollar to fall and the gold price to rebound to 3310. If it is strong (>130K), it may accelerate the decline below 3270.


Liquidity increases around the news release, so be mindful of trading risk.
