8.28 Gold｜Yesterday’s Market Review Summary
Yesterday, gold showed a typical “hold back before the news, then reverse after the news” pattern. During the daytime session, driven by market expectations of remarks at the Jackson Hole annual meeting, trading became more cautious. Gold failed to gain traction on the upside; profit-taking at higher levels was gradually realized, and the chart began to show signs of sluggish upward movement and weak, sideways consolidation. Rallies multiple times did not receive meaningful buy support, and the overall center of gravity slowly shifted downward.
On the technical front, after continuous advance, bullish momentum had clearly been exhausted. The daily chart displayed a high-level sluggish consolidation signal, while the hourly chart weakened step by step, with a pullback already starting to emerge. Most funds chose to wait and see; they were unwilling to open positions blindly before major remarks were delivered, as volatility was suppressed by sentiment.
In the evening, the Fed’s tone was relatively hawkish, and rate-hike expectations warmed up. The U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury yields rose, directly putting downward pressure on gold. The pullback phase officially began: prices quickly probed lower, followed by a relatively large-scale decline.
Overall, the drop yesterday was not accidental. On the one hand, it reflected technical correction needs after a sustained rally. On the other, it came from a shift in policy expectations brought by major remarks. It further reinforces that big gold moves often depend inseparably on two core variables: the U.S. dollar and Fed policy.
It’s also worth reviewing the trade strategy: don’t chase longs at high levels blindly. Ahead of major data and remarks, reduce exposure, and focus on risk management. Being prepared and controlling risk is always more important than betting on the direction. #黄金 #XAU
