📈 Trend Analysis

1. Previous Uptrend (July 17–23)

A strong bullish rally started from around $3,285, reaching a consolidation top near $3,440.

This uptrend is highlighted with a blue rising channel.

The rally lost steam near resistance, forming a distribution zone (boxed range at the top) — a classic sign of potential reversal.


2. Bearish Reversal (July 24–29)

Price broke down from the consolidation and entered a well-defined descending channel (highlighted in red).

The move was steep, forming lower highs and lower lows, confirming a short-term bearish structure.

The drop continued until price revisited the origin of the last rally (~$3,285–$3,290 zone).

🔮 Forecast & Scenario Planning

Bullish Scenario (Blue Path)

Price is currently bouncing off the $3,285–$3,290 support.

If it breaks and holds above $3,320, a bullish continuation could aim for the $3,350 resistance.

This setup aligns with FOMC-induced volatility—a dovish or neutral Fed could fuel bullish momentum.


Bearish Risk

If price fails to reclaim $3,320 and breaks below $3,285, expect a deeper pullback possibly targeting $3,260 or lower.

Increased bearish pressure could be triggered by hawkish Fed signals or stronger USD data.

📅 Fundamental Catalyst

FOMC Meeting (highlighted on chart) is the key macro event. Depending on the Fed’s tone (rate hike, pause, or cut), gold can experience strong directional movement.

Market expectations will focus on inflation outlook and interest rate guidance.
