Gold Price analysis: Gold heads to $1680/oz, accumulating waiting for new signals from the Fed

This week, gold has moved around $1725/oz - $1760/oz because of the news from FED and the USD moving up. The DXY - US Dollar Index significantly climbed up from 93.8 to 94.2 for a few hours which made gold fall down strongly.

This Friday, the US Government will release the GDP q/q. The forecast is 6.6% and there is a chance for a lower number because the Covid-19 pandemic has not decreased in Asia and Europe. Moreover, the next testimony of US Federal Reserve Chairman - Jerome Powell, will have a significant impact on the economy.

On the daily chart, the bears actively made gold fall down, from $1832/oz (which formed from the beginning of September) to $1725/oz. The uptrends were broken whenever they likely showed up. In October, gold is going to have more negative news because the Asian countries are recovering quickly (see chart below).
On the 4-hour chart, the bears broke 2 supports - $1760/oz and $1730/oz, and came closer to the $1720/oz. The bulls is significantly weak and there is no signal for them in this chart (see chart below).

  • The $1680/oz: The strongest support in the past 2 years.
