XAUUSD consolidates, awaiting a rebound

174
Following last night’s US PPI data coming in higher than expected (0.2% vs. 0.0%), XAUUSD faced strong selling pressure as markets priced in expectations that the Fed will keep interest rates higher for longer. This boosted the US Dollar and Treasury yields, pushing gold down to around 3,346 USD.

Technically, price is still moving within a wide sideways range between 3,284 and 3,450 USD, but the short-term trend remains capped by a descending trendline from recent highs. The 3,346 USD zone is acting as a trendline touchpoint, potentially leading to a sideways accumulation around 3,312 – 3,346 before a mild rebound.

If the 3,284 USD support holds, the probability of a technical bounce toward 3,346 – 3,379 USD is high, especially as buyers may use the range’s lower boundary to accumulate positions. Conversely, a break below 3,284 USD could trigger stronger selling pressure toward 3,254 USD.
