Future Forecast
Daily Outlook
The daily outlook for XAUUSD remains firmly bullish, building on the strong momentum established in the weekly and monthly outlooks. Gold has hit another fresh all-time high, driven by a surge in “safe-haven” demand and the sustained weakness of the US dollar. The catalyst for this move was Friday’s US jobs data, which came in significantly weaker than expected, solidifying market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut in the near term. With central banks continuing to add gold to their reserves and robust inflows into gold ETFs, the fundamental backdrop for gold is exceptionally strong. The path of least resistance for XAUUSD appears to be to the upside.
Changes to Weekly Outlook
The weekly outlook, which was already bullish, has been significantly reinforced. The previously established bullish view was based on a combination of geopolitical tensions and anticipated US economic softness. The latest US Nonfarm Payrolls report, which showed a mere 22,000 jobs added, was far below the consensus forecast. This has essentially “sealed the case” for a dovish pivot from the Federal Reserve, which was the primary driver of the bearish sentiment for the US dollar and a key support for gold. This new development has turned the previously strong bullish outlook into an even more potent one, as the short-term headwind of potential Fed hawkishness has evaporated.
Immediate
Economic Events
Today’s Focus: The US economic calendar is relatively light today with only the Consumer Credit Change data scheduled. However, the market will continue to digest the implications of Friday’s weak jobs report and comments from various Fed officials. This is likely to keep the US dollar under pressure and maintain the upward momentum in gold.

Trade Insights
Potential Trades
Long
Intraday Pullback
Reason
This is a classic “buy the dip” strategy in a strong uptrend. Given the recent massive rally, a minor pullback to retest a key support level is a high-probability event. A rebound from a key support level offers a good risk-to-reward entry.

Look for an entry around the $3,580 – $3,585 zone.
Take Profit
$3,610 – $3,620.
Stop Loss

Long
Breakout Continuation
