Gold prices have been under significant pressure recently, primarily due to the rise in US real yields and a robust US dollar. Despite economic data indicating growth, gold hasn’t found support, as strong figures amplify the risks of further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Technically, gold has breached the June low of 1893 on the daily chart, paving the way for a potential descent to the 1805 support level. Moreover, the 4-hour chart illustrates that gold consistently trades within a declining channel, with each pullback being immaculately rejected by the red 21-day moving average. Only a break from this descending channel might give the bulls a chance for a more substantial pullback. This week, the market’s focus will be on the US PMIs and jobless claims data, along with the Jackson Hole Symposium, where remarks from Fed Chair Powell are eagerly anticipated.
