Spot gold price: 4278.10 USD/oz | as of 08:57
Recent trend (past two days): On Tuesday, gold fell 0.16% to 4292.85 USD. In today’s Asian session, it continued to weaken, briefly breaking below 4280, with the lowest levels hovering and consolidating.
Technical analysis: RSI is around 42–45; MACD is in negative territory; MA10/20/40 remains bearish. 4300 is the key level for the short term. Support: 4253/4200. Resistance: 4335/4361.
Macro factors: U.S. dollar index is 99.63. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to as high as 5.041%. Oil prices also climbed, further boosting rate-hike expectations.
Conclusion: Before the FOMC, gold is biased weaker. Focus on 4253. If a bearish catalyst plays out and price rebounds, the first target is 4335.
