Focus on XAUUSD today – 6th AUG 2024 

In this comprehensive analysis, Ultima Markets brings you an insightful breakdown of the XAUUSD for AUG 6 2024. 

Key Takeaways 

• Global stock market riots: Global stocks continued to plunge on Monday, with Japanese stocks posting their biggest one-day drop since October 1987 as concerns about a U.S. recession prompted investors to sell risky assets. Data on Friday showed that the U.S. unemployment rate rose to 4.3% in July, increasing the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by as much as 50 basis points in September. 

• Gold remains attractive: As concerns about a U.S. recession grow and Israel’s preparations for possible retaliation from Iran, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong. 

Technical Analysis 

Daily Chart Insights 

• Stochastic oscillator: The indicator will send out a short signal after breaking through the 50 median line, suggesting that the current bullish and bearish forces are tense. However, if the indicator remains above the median, a shift to bearish stance is not warranted. It is necessary to switch to a lower time frame to observe the market price. 

• MA support: The gold price was blocked and rebounded again at the 65-day black moving average. Additionally, the area around 2351.27 near the moving average, acts as the pivot for long and short positions. Even though the gold price fell sharply yesterday, it was still dominated by long expectations before it fell below this level. 

H1 Chart Insights 

• Stochastic Oscillator: The indicator sends out a long signal in the oversold area, and the fast line in the Asian session is about to approach the overbought area, suggesting that the short-term bullish momentum is currently dominant. 

• Upper resistance: The green 200-period moving average and the 65-period moving average have not yet sent out a short signal. At the same time, the short-term gold price is encountering resistance at the moving average. After breaking through this level in the Asian session, it is advisable to wait for corrections and look for buying opportunities. 

Pivot Indicator 

• According to the trading central in Ultima Markets APP, the central price of the day is established at 2421, 

• Bullish Scenario: Bullish sentiment prevails above 2421, first target 2442, second target 2455; 

• Bearish Outlook: In a bearish scenario below 2421, first target 23840, second target 2370.
