Gold Market Outlook and Strategy for Next Week (10.12–10.17)
Gold dipped to a low of 4066 this week before staging a strong V-shaped rebound, with prices moving above 4194. Short-term bullish momentum has been released, and prices are approaching resistance, intensifying the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. Next week, the key focus will be the U.S. September CPI inflation data, which will directly affect expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Combined with developments in the Middle East and fluctuations in the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields, choppy price action and false breakouts are likely to become more frequent.
The daily rebound is nearing a resistance zone, and prices are likely to enter a period of consolidation. On the 4-hour chart, lows are moving higher, but price has yet to break through strong resistance at 4226. This is merely a corrective rebound after a sharp decline and cannot yet be considered a trend reversal. Overall, approach next week as a range-bound market. Avoid chasing prices up or down before the CPI data is released, and beware of repeated stop-loss hits.
If the rebound meets resistance in the 4215–4226 range, consider a short position, with a stop at 4235 and targets at 4155–4130.
If prices pull back, consider a long position in the 4125–4135 support range, with a stop at 4105 and targets at 4185–4205.
Market conditions can shift at any time in response to news, especially during data releases, when volatility can be intense. Always set reasonable stop-losses, manage position sizes prudently, avoid holding oversized losing positions, and take appropriate steps to manage risk. $XAU
