XAUUSD Weekly Forecast: Gold Faces Downward Pressure Amid Easing Geopolitical Tensions
Gold opens the week on a bearish note as easing tensions between Iran and Israel shift market sentiment. The XAUUSD pair, previously in a sell trend, may test key support levels NEAR $3122, with potential volatility mid-week as traders await critical U.S. economic data.
Federal Reserve minutes and labor market reports will dictate near-term direction. A hawkish tone could strengthen the USD, further pressuring gold, while dovish signals may offer respite. Technical analysis suggests a retest of May 2025 lows before any sustained recovery.
