Hey everyone, there have been some notable changes in the market recently.

【Market Trends】

Recently, news broke—Atlanta Federal Reserve President Bostic is set to step down at the end of February, and the Federal Reserve Board has initiated the recruitment process for a new chair. According to the Federal Reserve Act, regional Fed presidents are selected jointly by Class B and Class C directors (those not registered with financial institutions), and finally approved by the Federal Reserve Board in Washington.

An announcement from the Atlanta Fed on Monday mentioned that the selection committee is led by the board chairman, Gregory Haile, CEO of Upwardly Global. The entire process will actively seek public opinions. This change at the Fed signals a subtle adjustment in the direction of US financial policy.

【Technical Analysis】

Let’s talk about gold—yesterday, it attempted to push higher several times but failed to hold new highs. As soon as the US market opened, it started to face pressure, and by midnight, it accelerated downward. This morning, with continued selling, it’s back below 4300, showing a clear short-term weakness.

On the four-hour chart, consecutive bearish candles have formed, and the price has broken below the 20-day moving average. It’s still fluctuating below that level. Looking ahead at the closing signals, it’s likely to continue downward. In the short term, the 4300 level is critical—this afternoon, keep a close eye on whether it can recover this point.

【Trading Ideas】

For gold, consider short positions around 4290 or 4300, with a stop-loss at 4310. In case of unexpected moves, add to positions at 4315/4320. The target is 4270.

Reminder—trading involves risks. Make decisions carefully; these suggestions are for reference only. Profit and loss are your own responsibility!

Gold's recent short position is quite profitable; if it doesn't break 4300, it will definitely drop. The Fed changing the chairperson, this feels a bit interesting, the crypto circle is about to be turbulent again. That 4270 level is real; we must hold it, brother. The crazy sell-off in the US market is really intense; my hands are trembling. To be honest, with such a weak short-term gold trend, making money has actually become much easier.

The Fed's leadership change is like replanting in the garden; I don't know if the new chairman will water it the right way... Gold has been pretty miserable lately. Those few spikes yesterday were as fake as the profits promised by my project team—completely hollow. If I can't hold 4300, I have to accept defeat. I was bearish at 4295, but on the other hand, this kind of market really tests your mindset...

It's another change in the Federal Reserve leadership, this time it's Atlanta's turn. It feels like the policy direction is quietly shifting. This round of gold is interesting. If it can't break 4300, I feel it will continue to drop. Short-term shorts are indeed tempting, but risk management is essential.

This round of gold is a bit boring; 4300 is just a paper tiger. Changing the Federal Reserve personnel, so what? It still depends on how the crypto market moves. With such fierce bears, be careful not to get crushed. BTC is the main character; others are just side dishes. People catching the bottom at 4290, wake up—downtrend isn't over yet. It feels like this decline has just begun; don't rush to buy the dip.

Gold's short position this time is correct; if it can't break 4300, it should drop further --- Federal Reserve changing chair? Another policy adjustment, but whoever takes over this time won't change the overall direction --- Support at 4300 didn't hold, the short-term weakness is real, let's see if it can rebound in the afternoon --- Bro, your short setup this time is quite solid, and the entry points are flexible enough for quick cuts --- Gold price continues to close below the moving average, clearly indicating a further downtrend according to the chart --- What’s behind the Fed's move? Feels like financial policies are about to change again --- Is the 4270 target stable? Or is it a bit too greedy? --- That sharp drop during the US session directly cast a shadow over me; I was thinking of catching the bottom this morning

The change of the Federal Reserve Chair is essentially a subtle game of policy stance. What can Gregory Haile change once in office? The key still depends on the attitude from Washington. The 4300 level for gold is definitely something to watch closely, but I think this bearish logic still depends on on-chain fund flows. On-chain evidence is the most convincing way to understand the situation. With gas fees so high, trading still has to happen. The interaction costs directly eat up half of the profit, and that's when the real arbitrage space disappears.

Gold still has a strong bearish momentum this wave, breaking 4300 is basically a foregone conclusion. The Fed changing its chairperson is a signal that needs to be carefully analyzed. After bearishness for so long, it's still difficult to outperform large funds dumping the market; better to stick to stop-losses. The current trend of gold prices indeed shows no short-term rebound opportunities. Bitcoin and ETH still depend on how the Fed's next move unfolds; it feels like macroeconomic changes are coming. The 4270 target is a bit greedy; it's better to play it safe. They change a chairperson and can still make such mystical analyses—truly impressive. The Fed's actions are so frequent; could it really be shifting its stance? I was also feeling terrible when gold broke below the 20-day moving average that day.

The Fed has pulled another trick again. It's always the same routine: first change the chairperson, then adjust the direction... I bet 5 dollars that this recent dip in gold is just a false signal before liquidation again. I'm already tired of the 4300 level.

Gold's bearish outlook this time is no surprise; if it can't break 4300, it should drop. --- Changing the Federal Reserve Chair? Once again, it's setting a trap for the market. --- With gold prices so weak, how can anyone dare to buy the dip? I don't have that courage. --- The 4270 target feels a bit uncertain; the rebound risk isn't promising. --- The Fed's recent actions will make the crypto circle tremble again, right? --- I agree with short-term bearishness, but the stop-loss placement is a bit tight. --- Whether the Fed changes personnel or not, gold still needs to fall; the logic makes sense. --- Every time I hear about closely watching key levels, why have I never gotten it right? --- This wave of bears is quite fierce; once it breaks, it will drop straight down without any rebound.
