Strong USD, Gold "Holding Its Breath" at Key Resistance

377
Yesterday, gold prices continued to trade within a tight range of 3,340–3,355 USD, reflecting the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. Selling pressure is still present but not strong enough to break the key support level.

On the news front: Both the U.S. Core PPI m/m and PPI m/m are forecast to rise 0.2% (vs. 0.0% previously), while unemployment claims are expected to dip from 226K to 225K. This signals inflationary pressure from the production side and a resilient labor market, which could prompt the Fed to maintain a tight monetary policy. A stronger USD puts short-term downward pressure on gold.

From the chart: Gold is moving within a sideway range of 3,340 – 3,363 USD after being rejected at the 3,363 USD resistance zone. The price structure shows consolidation with minor technical pullbacks. The 3,312 USD support remains intact; if it holds, buyers may step back in.

Suggested strategy:
Look for buy opportunities around 3,312 – 3,320 USD if support holds, with a target at 3,363 USD. Place stop-loss below 3,305 USD to limit risk.

Question: Do you think gold has enough momentum to break 3,363 USD and start a new bullish leg this week?
