Gold (XAUUSD) – Preparing for a Sharp Pullback

52
🟡 Market Outlook – Late June 2025

📉 Geopolitical Shift
Recent diplomatic progress has eased tensions between Iran, Israel, and the U.S. A ceasefire is now in place, reportedly supported by U.S. mediation efforts. Iran is also signaling openness to resuming nuclear discussions — a major shift that reduces geopolitical risk in the region.

📈 Risk-On Mood in Markets
Traditional markets have responded strongly:

Nasdaq-100 reached all-time highs

S&P 500 up ~1.1%

Dow Jones gained over 500 points

These are clear signs that investor sentiment is shifting away from fear and toward risk assets.

🛢️ Oil Prices Cooling
Crude oil has dropped significantly:

Brent and WTI are both down 6–7%
This drop reflects reduced concerns about a supply shock and confirms that energy markets are not pricing in a wider conflict.

🥇 Gold Losing Momentum
Gold failed to sustain above $3,445 and is now facing strong selling pressure. The easing geopolitical risk, dropping oil, and rising equities are all bearish signals for gold.

🎯 My short-term target: $3,218

As the safe-haven demand continues to fade, I expect XAUUSD to test the $3,218 level in the coming days.

🪙 Meanwhile in Crypto
Bitcoin and other crypto assets are rallying, benefiting from capital rotation and the renewed risk appetite. BTC could be eyeing new all-time highs as gold pulls back.
