Gold has been moving a bit indecisively in the early session today. Recently, the market has been closely watching the Fed’s moves—the December 10th FOMC meeting is almost a sure bet for a 25-basis-point rate cut (with a probability close to 90%), but the real question is whether they’ll deliver any “tough talk.” You know, sometimes a rate cut isn’t necessarily good news; the key is in what comes after. This expectation has pushed the US Dollar Index up to around 99.07, which in turn has put pressure on gold. From a technical perspective, gold prices have been repeatedly testing the 4200 level over the past couple of days. Yesterday, it touched a high of 4211 before being pushed back down, and today it’s been hovering around 4193, unable to establish a firm foothold. Honestly, this kind of low-volume consolidation shows that neither bulls nor bears have much conviction—prices can’t rally, but they’re not daring to fall too far either. If you’re looking to trade, you can watch the 4180-4190 support range for opportunities to go long, with a reasonable target around 4210-4220. Of course, don’t forget that the current geopolitical situation (things still unsettled between Russia and Ukraine, and US-China talks ongoing) theoretically favors safe-haven assets, but the Fed is such a big player that it’s overshadowing everything else, heavily diluting risk-off sentiment. By the way, in crypto, BTC, ETH, and SOL have also seen quite a bit of volatility recently, with capital shifting back and forth between traditional safe havens and digital assets. Overall, risk appetite remains cautious. In the short term, whether gold can break above 4200 may depend on what’s said at Wednesday’s meeting.
