GOLD Analysis | Intraday Chart Forecast

Gold prices rise in early European trade after sliding in the previous session, with investors awaiting U.S. payrolls data for more insights on the Federal Reserve's next policy move. Futures trade 0.5% higher at $2,764.00 a troy ounce following a 2% fall on profit-taking and increasing bets that the U.S. central bank will take a more cautious approach to rate cuts in the months ahead. "The fact that the core PCE rose the most on a monthly basis since April--along with strong spending and robust growth data released earlier this week--trimmed the Fed cut bets," Swissquote Bank's Ipek Ozkardeskaya says in a note. Still, prices continue to be supported by strong demand for safe-haven assets due to heightened geopolitical risks in the Middle East and uncertainty around the U.S. election.


🔴 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
-------------------------------
That said, Gold failed the bullish impulsive structure triggering a bearish leg that pushed the price directly to the potential support area around 2732. If Gold manages to hold this area (already touched once), we do not exclude an irregular wave B, with a potential new Top in wave 5. If our impulsive structure had not failed, above the 2,800 area it would have been interesting to try to sell Gold (see chart/analysis below). That said, let's take one step at a time, and therefore our focus will be on the support area, for now.
