Gold (XAU/USD) slips amid renewed trade optimism; FOMC in focusGold markets are navigating another week of heightened volatility. After a bullish start on Monday and Tuesday, XAU/USD reversed course on Wednesday, with sellers regaining control. The precious metal faced strong rejection at the $3,430 level—an area that also acted as intraday resistance in April as gold attempted to break through all-time highs. Monday’s surge marked a break from two consecutive weeks of downward pressure, drawing in fresh buyers eyeing a potential retest of the $3,500+ zone. However, ongoing fundamental uncertainties, particularly in U.S.–China relations, continue to drive erratic price action and keep traders on edge. Trade Talks Reignite Market Volatility The recent rebound in trade diplomacy has shifted market dynamics once again. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are scheduled to meet Chinese officials in what will be the first formal discussions since the U.S. imposed steep tariffs on Chinese goods. This renewed optimism around trade negotiations triggered a fresh wave of selling in gold on Wednesday. Despite the pullback, gold remains underpinned by lingering investor caution. Mixed signals from both Washington and Beijing continue to cloud sentiment, while expectations of global monetary easing and a broader move away from U.S. assets provide ongoing support for bullion. FOMC Decision Looms Large All eyes now turn to the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting and Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference later today. With markets already pricing in no change to interest rates, the spotlight will be on Powell’s tone and guidance for the months ahead. Powell is widely expected to stick to the Fed’s cautious rhetoric, reflecting uncertainty over the economic impact of tariffs. Acknowledgment of sustained economic resilience or inflationary pressure could be perceived as a hawkish signal—dampening hopes of a June rate cut, boosting the U.S. dollar, and likely deepening the correction in gold prices. Conversely, if Powell hints at heightened economic concerns and signals a potential rate cut in June, gold could regain upward momentum as investors reposition accordingly.

Gold has reached the $3,400 level againThe Federal Reserve will announce the May FOMC interest rate decision and hold a press conference tomorrow.The market generally expects the interest rate to remain unchanged, but Powell's speech will be crucial. 👉👉👉The non - farm payrolls data in April was unexpectedly strong (with 177,000 new jobs added). Coupled with the Federal Reserve's concerns about inflation, Powell is likely to continue his hawkish stance and emphasize "inflation - fighting first". If he signals a delay in the timing of interest rate cuts, it may suppress the bullish sentiment in gold. Conversely, if he implies concerns about economic slowdown, gold may gain support. Gold has recently broken through the key resistance of $3,330 and firmly stood above the $3,400 level. The daily chart shows a clear upward channel. Gold trading advice: Go long in the range of $3,380 - $3,390 on a pullback, with a stop - loss at $3,360 and a target of $3,430. XAUUSD trading strategy buy @ 3380-3390 sl 3270 tp 3420-3430 If you approve of my analysis, you can give it a thumbs-up as support. If you have different opinions, you can leave your thoughts in the comments.Thank you!👉👉👉

Today’s gold price: go long on dipsToday’s gold price: go long on dips The price of gold has risen sharply today, with the current price at 3320. Obviously, the strong gains during the European and American sessions did not give the opportunity to go long at the bottom during the Asian session. Remember the plunge in the Asian market before the May Day holiday? When Asian markets open tomorrow (Tuesday), gold prices will inevitably fluctuate at high levels. Gold prices have risen nearly 100 points again from last Friday to today. It is not difficult to analyze it next. It will be a high probability event for gold prices to rise to 3500 points next week. And I think it is unlikely to bring a buffer opportunity to the Asian session, which will be another precise financial blockade. Next, pay attention to 3300 points. This week's gold price strategy continues to return to low-priced longs. This week's target expectation: 3400-3500+ Main support levels: 3260 3280 3300 As long as the gold price runs above these support levels, the intraday trading idea is still mainly to buy on dips. Even if the gold price does not rise significantly, there is a high probability that it will return to the shock pattern of the 3260-3360 range. Operation strategy: Pay attention to the support level in the 3280-3300 range and wait for the gold price to pull back and go long on dips.

GOLD recovers to initial target, confirmation point continuesOANDA:XAUUSD surged in the first half of trading on Monday (May 5), briefly surpassing the $3,270/ounce mark and marking a daily gain of more than $30. as uncertainty over U.S. tariffs spurred safe-haven flows, supporting gold prices. The Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut in June is also boosting the appeal of non-yielding gold. Bloomberg reported on Monday that US President Donald Trump plans to impose a 100% tariff on all foreign-made films, which is not a huge deal, but it does escalate the trade war. "I am authorizing the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to immediately begin proceedings to impose a 100% tariff on all foreign-made films imported into the United States," Trump wrote on his Truth Social social media platform. "We want our movies made in the USA again!" Gold prices have risen nearly 25% this year, hitting a record high above $3,500 an ounce in April, but have retreated in recent weeks. Bloomberg notes that factors driving gold’s recent rally include safe-haven buying fueled by Trump’s destructive trade and geopolitical policies, as well as speculative demand from China and buying by global central banks. According to CME's "Federal Reserve Watch" on May 5: The probability of the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged in May is 96.8%, and the probability of cutting interest rates by 25 basis points is 3.2%. The probability of the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged until June is 63.3%, the probability of cutting interest rates by 25 basis points is 35.6%, and the probability of cutting interest rates by 50 basis points is 1.1%. Technical outlook analysis OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, gold is still bullish as the price action remains above the important support EMA21. At the same time, the price channel that is noted as the main long-term trend channel remains stable. On the other hand, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also showing signs of weakness as it falls to approach the 50 level, which is noted as the closest support in terms of momentum. Going forward, if gold rebounds above $3,245, it could rebound to the short-term target of $3,267, more than the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement level, and then the full price point of $3,300. As long as gold remains within the price channel, its long-term trend remains bullish, but the risk of a deeper correction is when the 0.50% Fibonacci retracement level is broken below, once this level is broken below gold is at risk of further selling to $3,163 in the short term. This also means that technically gold is in an ideal support area for bullish expectations, long positions should be protected below the 0.50% Fibonacci retracement level. In the coming period, gold has technical conditions that favor a bullish recovery, and the notable points will be listed as follows.
