Market news:
In the early Asian session on Wednesday (April 30), spot gold fluctuated in a narrow range and is currently trading around $3,318 per ounce. London gold prices fell 0.8% on Tuesday, and Trump said that China will absorb the new tariff shock. The weak labor market and consumer confidence data in the United States have raised market expectations for policy easing. This has put pressure on the price of safe-haven asset gold, while the US dollar has taken the opportunity to rebound.With the PCE inflation data and non-farm payrolls report about to be released, the market has entered a critical game period. On the one hand, the easing of tariffs has weakened the safe-haven appeal of gold; on the other hand, signs of economic slowdown have strengthened the Fed's expectations of a rate cut. In the short term, the rebound in risk appetite has suppressed gold prices; but if this week's data confirms the risk of a recession, the Fed may be forced to turn, and then international gold may usher in a new round of outbreaks! The current market sentiment shows a clear contradictory state. On the one hand, concerns about global trade tensions drive safe-haven demand, and on the other hand, expectations that the United States may ease its trade policy trigger profit-taking. This trading day will usher in the US first quarter GDP data and March PCE data, which are likely to be the winners and losers of the next trend of gold.
Technical Review:
Gold hit 3500 and began to fall. The current low is temporarily at 3260. The daily cycle has failed to break down after three trading days of testing. The pattern is a Yin-Yang line conversion, and it is a very obvious wide-range oscillation market. This trend should not be chased. The market has no continuity and is just going back and forth. The gold daily line has been alternating between Yin and Yang for 5 consecutive trading days, maintaining a wide range of oscillations. The short-term four-hour chart and hourly chart moving averages are glued together, the RSI stops and maintains the middle axis, and the Bollinger Bands gradually close, forming a box range oscillation of 3265/3385. The trading idea is to sell at a high price and buy at a low price to participate in the short-term.
Today's analysis:
Gold continues to fluctuate. The data in the second half of the week is dense. Gold is likely to wait for data to break through. It maintains a fluctuating trend before the data. Gold continues to rise and fall in the early trading. The rebound is still under pressure. Today's small non-agricultural data is also a key node for gold trading. So if gold chooses a direction, don't be obsessed. Gold continues to fluctuate in 1 hour, and the fluctuation range begins to narrow, which means that it is getting closer to a change. Gold is still fluctuating downward. Gold once again hit 3328 in the Asian session and fell under pressure. Tonight's small non-agricultural data, if gold breaks through the fluctuation today, then follow up at that time.

Buy short-term gold at 3298-3302, stop loss at 3290, target at 3330-3350;
