To The Moon

On Wednesday (July 29), gold staged a reversal that caught many investors by surprise. Before the Federal Reserve announced it would keep interest rates unchanged, gold prices came under pressure and weakened, even falling below the $4,000 mark during the session. However, once the Federal Reserve confirmed that it would keep the target range for the federal funds rate unchanged at 3.50% to 3.75%, spot gold surged rapidly, briefly reaching $4,116 per ounce—its highest level since July 23. By the close of trading that day, spot gold had risen 0.94% to settle at $4,066.13 per ounce. During early Asian trading on Thursday (July 30), gold prices continued their upward trend, briefly touching the $4,100 mark, with a gain of approximately 0.84%. What makes this trend particularly noteworthy is i

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1 $Gold - main 2608(GCmain)$Gold: The market is currently in a “high-range consolidation and topping” phase following Monday’s gap-up opening. Although bulls hold the advantage in the short term, pressure for a local pullback has already begun to emerge. After the early morning open, bulls pushed prices up to 4116.15 but failed to hold above 4100, subsequently facing significant selling pressure from profit-taking. Currently, the H1 chart has closed with two consecutive bearish candles (with long upper shadows), indicating very strong resistance in the 4110–4116 range and a weakening of short-term bullish momentum.

After a strong pullback and rebound from 4023, gold is currently trading at 4030. $Gold - main 2608(GCmain)$$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ The market has now entered a “critical juncture” of tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Given the lackluster rebound, the price may retest today’s lows in the 4023–4025 range to confirm whether the “double bottom” support at that level is valid. Meanwhile, the key intraday support is near 4,020; if this level is broken, the price will continue to test the 4,000–4,005 range! First near-term resistance: 4,038–4,042 (former resistance-turned-support level) For trading, focus primarily on entering sell positions after a rebound! Strateg

$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$$Gold - main 2608(GCmain)$ Technical Analysis: Looking at the (H1) candlestick chart, the market as a whole is currently in a correction and consolidation phase following a period of consolidation at high levels, with buying momentum driving a rebound near key support levels in the short term. The price is currently trading at $4,011, down slightly by about 0.15% on the day.

Pressured by recent oil price rebounds that have sparked inflation concerns (reigniting expectations of high interest rates), the gold price is currently in a wide-range downward channel. $Gold - main 2608(GCmain)$ The intraday low has been updated to 4024. Although prices have rebounded slightly, they remain under pressure at the absolute bottom of the downtrend channel. Step-like downward consolidation: After encountering resistance in the 4060 area, gold prices formed a very standard “decline–sideways consolidation–further decline” step-like bearish pattern, with the lower boundary of each consolidation

1 Technical Analysis: Gold is currently showing a clear sideways-downward trend with a bearish formation. For ultra-short-term trading, the strategy should focus on selling on rallies (Short), while closely monitoring the resistance zone between 4040 and 4043. It is highly likely that prices will follow the downward trend in shorter time frames and retest the key support zone at the H4 level, 3996–4010. Currently, the market is in the early stages of a rebound ending and a return to the downtrend. Continue to focus on sell trades!

Bearish: The Fed’s monetary policy remains generally hawkish. Situation: Fed officials (such as Kevin Warsh) have previously raised their inflation and interest rate forecasts for 2026. Currently, according to the CME FedWatch Tool, while it is highly likely that rates will remain unchanged in July, the market is still pricing in the expectation of another rate hike in the future (e.g., in September). High real interest rates resulting from a high-interest-rate environment, coupled with a strong U.S. Dollar Index, are currently the pr

Impact of Core Fundamentals (News): $Gold - main 2608(GCmain)$$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ Bullish Factors: Weak labor market data has reduced the opportunity cost of holding gold, while continued gold purchases by global central banks as part of their reserve diversification efforts provide long-term strategic support for gold prices.

$Gold - main 2608(GCmain)$Fed Policy Pressure (Bearish): The Federal Reserve has recently sent hawkish signals suggesting it may further tighten monetary policy this year. Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh reiterated the central bank’s determination to bring inflation down to the 2% target, which pushed up real U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY, which held steady above 101), causing gold—a non-interest-bearing asset—to suffer a sharp decline throughout June. Easing Geopolitical Tensions (Bearish): The U.S. and Iran reached a preliminary ceasefire agreement and are moving forward with the Doha talks. The “safe-haven premium” driven by the Middle East geopolitical crisis has recently faded significantly, weakening safe-h

Recent capital flows in the financial markets paint quite an intriguing picture. While everyone is still watching to see if US stocks have peaked or will continue to surge, massive funds have quietly executed a major rotation. In today's note, I will use the latest market fund data to discuss these ongoing trend changes. Let me start with the conclusion: the current downward trend in U.S. stocks may not have actually ended, but until the S&P 500 posts a pullback of more than 8%, we should not preemptively assume this is a massive bear market. We can consider carefully building short positions, but once key market signals appear, we must take profits promptly and adjust our bearish view. $S&P 500(.SPX)$

When you have a basic forecast for financial market trends, waiting for that prediction to materialize is often the most agonizing part. My recent source of anxiety stems from a potential intermediate-term top in the US stock market. Because the historically predictable impulse rally of the US Dollar Index might materialize within the next month, US equities and other risk assets could face downward pressure from a strong dollar, triggering a correction. Although this drawdown might not be massive, if we mindlessly maintain a "permabull" stance, we could suffer short-term losses. Watch for Technical Bearish Divergence According to our historical backtesting, the probability of US stocks delivering positive returns over the next three months is currently at its lowest, and a substantial dra

$S&P 500(.SPX)$Technical Analysis: Gold is currently maintaining its accelerated downward trend following the breakout. Previous Price Action: After a volatile rebound, the price encountered resistance at the upper boundary (around the 4538.60–4555.40 zone) and subsequently entered a downtrend channel characterized by progressively lower highs and lower lows. It has now broken through several local support lows within the previous consolidation range (around 4454.60), with the current price quoted at 4438. This breakout pattern indicates that bearish momentum is accelerating! Expected Movement: The price is expected to continue its downward trajectory—either directly or following a minor, weak correction—to test support levels.

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! Gold opened slightly lower on Monday, June 1, 2026, falling as much as 0.48% to around $4,518 per ounce, as market sentiment briefly cooled. The previous weekend's lack of a clear breakthrough in US-Iran peace talks, coupled with the continued advance of Israeli troops into southern Lebanon, further exacerbated international concerns about the Middle East situation spiraling out of control. Meanwhile, US crude oil opened nearly 2% higher, surging over 3% to above $90 per barrel at one point. The rebound in energy prices directly boosted inflation expectations and strengthened the pressure on the Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates or even raise them, becoming the main reason for the short-term pressure on gold

In the next few trading days, the US will release a series of important economic data, which could significantly influence market expectations for the Federal Reserve's policy path and further affect precious metal price movements.

Technical Analysis: After a sharp V-shaped rebound from a deep decline, gold found support at the bottom (around 4368–4372) and launched a powerful technical recovery. Moving average divergence correction: Following a rapid surge to approximately 4511.88, prices clearly diverged from the moving averages (MA).

$Gold - main 2606(GCmain)$$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ The market action was a rollercoaster ride, catching many investors by surprise! On the H1 chart, gold formed a typical “second dip” followed by a failed “W-bottom” (double bottom) pattern, resulting in a pullback within a trading range. This pattern has not yet confirmed a reversal; instead, it has evolved into a pullback from resistance within a low-range trading band (4510–4585). As short-term bullish momentum has faded and bears have regained the upper hand, prices are now seeking support near the cluster of moving averages or the secondary support level around $4,510.

Macro Theme: De-escalation and “Unstable Peace” as the Core Pricing Driver Although last weekend’s White House dinner shooting incident attracted significant attention, it did not create any material impact, and markets were not disrupted at the start of the week. Meanwhile, the ongoing “Middle East saga” continues steadily, and the U.S. decision not to arrange “in-person” negotiators suggests that the intermediary model has shifted toward “remote” communication. If no surprise attacks occur within the next one to two weeks, it can largely be concluded that this tug-of-war style “peace” will persist until around the midterm elections, when potential changes or turning points may emerge. The three potential models and scenarios of U.S.-Iran negotiations have already been discussed in previo
