Fundamental analysis
Gold prices rose slightly on Wednesday, continuing their recovery after Monday's PBoC-related sell-off. This comes after data emerged showing demand for gold by central banks around the world remains high. This balanced the negative impact of news that the largest consumer of gold, the People's Bank of China (PBoC), stopped buying the precious metal in June.
The Fed will adopt a data-driven approach to interest rates.
Investors had been hoping for more specifics on when the Fed would cut interest rates, and Powell's quiet cut should have weakened Gold more than that.
Technical analysis
Gold is recovering for the second day in a row after forming a bearish two-bar reversal pattern. The unclear outlook poses a risk that Gold may return to the break out zone, which is also the most important support zone around 2340.
In the bullish trend, if gold surpasses Friday's peak of $2,393, the price will continue the series of higher peaks and could reach the next target of 2,400 and still cherish the possibility of surpassing the all-time peak.
The trend is sideways in the near-peak area during the drought period. In the long term, Gold is still in a strong uptrend and is ready to reach a peak above 2400 in the near future as macro and political data continues to support gold.
