Starry Noon Gold 4-Hour Market Analysis (2026.9.24)
The latest remarks from Federal Reserve Governor Barr: “We may need further rate hikes to ensure inflation returns to the target.” CME data shows the probability of a rate hike in October has risen to 69.7%, and the probability for a December rate hike has reached 95%. The US dollar index has climbed to a two-month high, and the cost of holding gold continues to rise.
On the 4-hour chart, price has continued to range and move downward from the 4,394 high. It previously dipped to the 4,273 low, and the current price is 4,282. After the drop, price is consolidating slightly near the lows, and overall the bearish trend has the upper hand.
In the morning session, gold briefly reclaimed the 4,300 level but then fell again, indicating that sell pressure above 4,300 remains heavy. Asian spot buying and ETF inflows may provide some buffer, but in the short term they are unlikely to reverse the weakness.
Strategy Reference
Resistance 4303
Strong Resistance 4334
Support 4273
Invalidation Line 4334
Entry: Sell short in the 4,298–4,304 rebound range. Stop loss above 4,334. Targets: 4,274 → 4,250.
Summary
Fed hawkish signals strengthen the expectation of further rate hikes, and a stronger dollar is suppressing gold prices. 4,273 is a key support level; a breakdown will accelerate the move toward 4,250. Rebounding to 4,298–4,304 and meeting resistance is a high-short opportunity—strictly use the stop loss. $XAU #Cardano接入x402支付标准 #21Shares推出欧洲首只Zcash实物ETP
