Gold Sweeps New Highs After Fed Rate Cut

The 4-hour chart for gold (XAU/USD) is currently showing a clear uptrend, with the price hitting a recent high of $2,625.445 per ounce before showing signs of a slight pullback. Notably, gold has broken above both the 34-day exponential moving average (EMA) and the 89-day EMA, indicating the strength of the uptrend.

The recent price increase can be linked to the latest decision by the US Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 0.5%, a move that is intended to stimulate the economy but has boosted safe-haven assets like gold. The market is reacting positively to the changes in monetary policy, and gold, as a safe-haven option, is expected to continue to rise in price amid the current uncertainty.

For traders, the next resistance level to watch would be around $2,630. If gold breaks above this level, it could look for higher profit targets (TP) at $2,650 and possibly as high as $2,700, depending on market momentum and upcoming economic data. A stop loss (SL) is recommended at $2,580 to protect profits and minimize risk in case of a sudden price correction in the market.
