Gold explodes: Seven consecutive record highs before biggest daily correction since 2013

Dhwani Mehta FXStreet

Gold has shattered resistance for seven straight days, surging nearly 6% in a week as dovish Fed expectations and US-China trade war risks fuel the historic rally. With support now established at the 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement level, the buy-on-pullbacks pattern remains intact – but this week's US CPI data and Treasury Secretary Bessent's meeting with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng could trigger sudden reversals.

In this technical breakdown, FXStreet's Dhwani Mehta analyzes the key support and resistance levels, identifies the critical event risks that could either extend this FOMO-driven rally or spark steep corrections, and reveals what bargain hunters are watching as Gold continues its unprecedented climb.

AUD/USD reverses an Asian session dip on Monday as renewed optimism over Iran diplomacy boosts investor confidence, keeping a lid on the safe-haven US Dollar and supporting the risk-sensitive Aussie.

Gold retains a positive bias during American trading hours on Monday after sliding to a fresh yearly low of $3,870 on Friday and ending October down 6.87%. A pullback in Oil prices amid diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran supports the precious metal. However, the rebound lacks conviction as the fundamental backdrop continues to raise doubts over a sustained recovery.

Dogecoin risks deeper slide as whales diverge

Dogecoin hovers around $0.075 on Monday after falling for the fifth consecutive week since the end of September.

The US economy grew at a 3.4% annual rate, yet Treasury yields fell and the Nasdaq ended October with its worst monthly performance since March 2025. The market is no longer rewarding capital expenditure simply because it supports growth. Investors are testing whether that expenditure can produce cash flow and returns above the cost of capital.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions

The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
