Gold has pulled back from a recent peak of USD 2,685.58 and is now consolidating around the USD 2,660 mark. On the 30-minute XAUUSD chart on vtmarkets.com, the price is holding just above the 24- and 72-period EMAs, suggesting short-term support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MACD<\/a> indicates weakening bullish momentum, with the histogram approaching zero, signalling possible consolidation or a minor correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key support is observed at USD 2,650, and a break below this level could result in further declines, with the next support target at USD 2,625. On the upside, resistance lies at USD 2,680, and a move above this level may signal renewed bullish strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market participants are cautious, as strong US economic data has reduced expectations of aggressive Fed rate cuts, dampening the bullish outlook for gold. Currently, markets are pricing in a 49% probability of a 50 basis point rate cut in November, reflecting uncertainty around the Fed’s next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, fiscal stimulus measures in China and rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to bolster gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The yellow metal is on track for its third consecutive weekly gain, indicating sustained investor interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
