Risk On Sentiment & Bearish Gold – A Potential Trade Setup
Quick Recap โ Last week, gold prices spiked following softer than anticipated US retail sales and Inflation (CPI) figures, placing a high around $1,280 per ounce. However, the gains were limited and investors encountered a sharp reversal due to the FOMC. It tested multi week's lows of $1,250.
Gold Daily Forecast โ At the moment, we can see the gold is holding right above the major support level of $1250 with a neutral sentiment. Though the long-term trend is bearish, it is now supported by the Fed Rate Hike by 25 base points.
