Spot Gold XAUUSD back to June 2021 Price Zone, 1717/1666 or 1777/1818 next?
Spot Gold (XAUUSD) price is back to $1735 zone, where it was on 29 June, 2021. Recession fears acted as a tailwind for the XAUUSD as the focus still remains on the US NFP report. Aggressive Fed rate hike bets is keeping the USD elevated near a 20-year high, meanwhile Gold Price is struggling to register any meaningful recovery from the YTD low.

Fundamental Analysis | XAUUSD CMP $1735| 08.07.2022
Gold Price is in a downside consolidation after hitting nine-month lows. Gold traders are facing barricades at around $1,750.00 amid cautious trading added with risk-on mood sentiments over the US NFP. The DXY crossed the mark of 107.00 once again today morning, though in this week, risk sentiment improved alongside reports of China stimulus, however an unexpected negative shift in risk sentiment on news that ex-Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot in the chest at an election campaign speech in Nara. This incident rekindled the demand for the US dollar as a safe-haven asset, which capped the renewed uptick in the yellow metal. The risk-off flows returned, reflective of the fresh weakness in the S&P 500 futures and the US Treasury yields.
The NFP report is expected to show that the US economy added 268K jobs in June, down from 390K in the last month. The unemployment rate, however, is expected to hold steady at 3.6% during the reported month. The data would influence the near-term USD price dynamics, which, along with the broader risk sentiment, should provide some support to the gold price. The lack of any meaningful buying interest, however, suggests that the near-term bearish trend might still be far from being over hinting the price zone of $1717/$1666 ahead.
Why is GOLD so important?
There are three big reasons that gold is the most important precious metal in the world:
- Central Banks hold enormous amounts of gold as part of their official reserves.
- In times of risk aversion, traders and investors stop thinking about “return ON capital” and concentrate on “return OF capital”. This shifts investors away from risky assets to the security that gold has typically offered.
- Perhaps the most important economic indicator, Inflation, can affect the demand for gold as it is seen as a hedge against inflation’s erosion of a currency’s buying power.
Collectively, at the end of 2021, central banks held around 35,500 metric tonnes of gold: approximately 20% of all the gold ever mined. They buy and sell large amounts of the metal based on their future expectations for the economy. Central Banks may have the power to influence the price of gold more than any other factor out there.
Inflation Dynamics
Inflation erodes the value of savings over time and decreases the burden of debt to the borrower over time.
The triggers for inflation typically include:
- Low unemployment
- Stronger economic activity
- Central Bank spending
- Government spending
- Increases in commodity prices
- Increases in workers’ wages
Investors actively seek “tangible goods” as a hedge against inflation. There is also a psychological component to this behaviour: currencies, stocks, bonds and ETFs are all “intangible” investment vehicles. They are all “pieces of paper” at the end of the day. So, when the outlook gets gloomy, such as periods of very high inflation, investors tend to search for safety in “hard assets”. However, like currencies, gold does not trade on a single driver all the time. Depending on the state of the markets, each driver can come into play. Then, another one takes its place equally as fast.

Kindly observe the crucial limits/stops levels mentioned by me in this analysis in addition to possible crash and rise zones highlighted in W1 D1 both TF.
Today, I will prefer to BUY session/daily lows below Support 3 and 4 zone (6/9/15 pattern) S5 crucial, and I will prefer to SELL above Resistance zones 2 and 3 (D1-6/9/15) with a target of NET average profit, if fundamentals support and favour the same.
Movement of 25/40 or 60 dollars on Gold price is not something unexpected nowadays, and a surprise on Monday during early trading hours can not be ruled out too, so closing all positions today in net average profit is always the best trading strategy for every trader who wants to safeguard his principle.
