Technical and Fundamental Outlook"},"content":{"rendered":"
Gold is going through one of the strongest bullish phases in recent history. Since the start of the year, its price has risen by more than 50%<\/strong>, reaching a new all-time high of around $4,382 per troy ounce<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n This remarkable rise has captured the attention of traders and investors worldwide. It reflects not only the market\u2019s momentum but also broader shifts in the global economy, monetary policy, and confidence in fiat currencies. Let\u2019s explore the key factors behind this rally, how fundamentals have influenced the market, and what the charts suggest for the months ahead.<\/em><\/p>\n On 30 October, the US Federal Reserve<\/strong> announced its second rate cut of the year, lowering the rate from 4.25% to 4%. This move marked a clear shift towards a more accommodative stance. Lower interest rates reduce real yields, which increases gold\u2019s appeal as a non-yielding asset. Historically, similar cycles have pushed gold higher as investors sought protection from a weakening dollar.<\/p>\n Trade tensions between Washington and Beijing have intensified once again. New tariffs on Chinese products and China\u2019s countermeasures have raised concerns about global growth. When markets become uncertain, investors typically move capital into safe-haven assets. Gold serves not only as a store of value but also as a reflection of confidence in the stability of the world economy.<\/p>\n The US Dollar Index <\/strong>has fallen to its lowest level since 2022. A weaker dollar makes gold more affordable for foreign buyers and increases overall demand. This effect becomes stronger when combined with lower interest rates, creating favourable conditions for continued strength in the gold market.<\/p>\n Central banks continue to add gold to their reserves at a record pace. In the first half of 2025, they increased their holdings by over 400 tonnes<\/strong>, with China, India, and Turkey leading the way. This shift towards diversification away from the dollar supports gold\u2019s position as a strategic reserve asset and adds long-term stability to the market.<\/p>\n After a series of strong fundamental catalysts, gold hit its all-time high in October<\/strong> before suffering its sharpest single-day drop in four years<\/strong>. For many traders it was unexpected, but from a technical perspective it was a healthy correction following a steep rally.<\/p>\n The question now is whether this is a pause or the start of a deeper shift. Over the following sessions, gold continued to weaken, closing below a key support zone. The market structure turned from bullish to short-term bearish, showing early signs of exhaustion among buyers.<\/p>\n To evaluate the current trend, we applied a combination of Fair Value Gap (FVG)<\/strong>, Exponential Moving Averages (EMA 20 & EMA 50)<\/strong>, and the Ranged Volume Profile<\/strong>. Together, these indicators reveal both momentum and market balance between volume and price.<\/p>\n \u2022 Fair Value Gap (FVG) \u2022 Exponential Moving Averages (EMA 20 & EMA 50) \u2022 Ranged Volume Profile
<\/a><\/h3>\nWhy Gold Keeps Rising: The Core Fundamentals<\/h2>\n
\u00a01. Federal Reserve Interest Rate Policy<\/h3>\n
2. Trade Tensions Between the US and China<\/h3>\n
3. A Weaker US Dollar<\/h3>\n
4. Central Bank Gold Accumulation<\/h3>\n
Is Gold\u2019s Rally Losing Momentum?<\/h2>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nTechnical Outlook<\/h2>\n
\n<\/strong>FVG highlights unfilled price areas that often act as magnets for price action. These zones serve as important regions where gold could revisit or react, functioning as potential supports or resistances.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>EMA 20 reflects short-term sentiment, while EMA 50 represents the medium-term trend. When EMA 20 is above the price, it indicates short-term bullish momentum; when below, it signals bearish pressure. EMA 50 defines long-term bias.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>This indicator shows where trading volume is most concentrated, revealing areas of strong market interest. This typically corresponds to critical support or resistance zones, helping traders anticipate where the next reaction might occur.<\/p>\n
