Today’s analysis offers a comprehensive view of the gold market, highlighting the key fundamental and technical factors influencing current price trends. This report is intended to provide investors with the insights necessary to navigate the market with confidence and make informed decisions.
Gold prices are attempting to hold above the $3,300 mark as focus turns to ongoing U.S.-China trade talks. According to Bloomberg, discussions will extend into a second day following a productive first round, as noted by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. President Donald Trump commented Monday that ‘China is not easy, but we are doing well,’ though he offered no specifics on key issues such as technology shipments and rare earth exports. Meanwhile, optimism around the trade talks and a strong rebound in the U.S. Dollar are weighing on gold’s upside momentum.
The short-term technical outlook for gold remains bullish, with buyers continuing to defend the key support near $3,300—marked by the confluence of the 21-day Moving Average and the Fibonacci retracement level of April’s record rally. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is holding above the midline, reinforcing the positive momentum.
To shift the bias in favor of sellers, a daily close below $3,287 would be required, potentially exposing the next support at $3,250. On the upside, if the rebound gains traction, gold is likely to face strong resistance around $3,340. A break above this level could pave the way toward the next resistance at $3,362, with the $3,400 mark coming into view thereafter. Currently, the short-term Stochastics Oscillator stands at 48, while the RSI reads 52, suggesting a mildly bullish tone.
