#美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新【Gold Market Technical Analysis 12.18】

$XAU Currently at a critical turning point

Recently, gold has been continuously rallying in the 4350-4380 range for four days. It is now facing an important decision point. Two major factors influence the trend—tonight at 21:30, the US inflation and retail sales data will be released. This data is likely to push gold prices higher, re-testing the key resistance of 4350-4380; on the other hand, the Bank of Japan will announce its interest rate decision on the morning of 12/19. The market expects a high probability of rate hikes. If confirmed, combined with exchange rate changes, precious metals will face pressure. Simply put, if gold cannot break through this hurdle tonight, a correction is highly likely tomorrow.

From a technical perspective, gold is currently holding above the key support at 4320. It previously touched 4343.05, just one step away from the resistance zone of 4350-4380. Observing the 1-hour chart, after rebounding from 4271.52, the price shows a oscillating upward pattern. The bullish trend remains intact, and the recent pullback is a normal consolidation.

Trading ideas—
Look for buying opportunities around 4332-4322, with the first target at 4340-4350. If this level is broken, continue to watch for 4355, 4365, up to 4380 in sequence.

This wave of the market is a bit uncertain, it all depends on tonight's data. The Federal Reserve is about to stir things up again, and the gold threshold is really hard to break. If it doesn't break 4350, it will have to turn around, and then it will be another good show. The Bank of Japan is also joining the fun, and under dual pressure, gold really can't hold up. How long can the bulls last? If they mess up this time, it will be difficult. Breaking through 4350 doesn't seem that easy; there are too many variables in the market. 4380 seems a bit distant; right now, it's good enough if the bulls can hold above 4320.
