XAU/USD — All Eyes on US Data, Gold Ready for a Big Move!

988

Gold continues to hold strong buying pressure despite the recovery of the USD (DXY). The market is now waiting for today’s key US economic releases during the New York session:

📊 USD Prelim GDP q/q → Forecast: 3.1% (Prev. 3.0%)
📊 USD Unemployment Claims → Forecast: 231K (Prev. 235K)

🔎 Possible Scenarios

1️⃣ If US data comes out strong → Gold could break down from the rising channel, targeting the VPOC 3374, and with heavier pressure even dip towards the 335x zone (though this might be harder to achieve).

2️⃣ If US data is weak / neutral → Gold is likely to continue its bullish leg, aiming at 3392 – 3398 and potentially extending to 342x – 343x to retest the previous ATH.


📌 Key Levels to Watch
Resistance: 3398 – 3400 → breakout could fuel a quick rally into 342x – 343x
Support: 3374 → break below opens room to 335x
Buy Zone: Watching for a sharp dip into 335x – 337x for clean long setups


🎯 MMFLOW Strategy
👉 Priority remains: wait for a liquidity grab / sharp dip to BUY in line with the broader trend.
👉 Be cautious — with this being the main economic release of the week, volatility can spike aggressively when the numbers hit.


🔥 What do you think?
Will Gold break higher into new ATHs, or will we see a liquidity sweep first before the next leg up?
