🟡 GOLD WEEKLY OUTLOOK (XAUUSD)
Institutional Forecast • Macro Drivers • Technical Roadmap | This Week
🟢 LAST WEEK SUMMARY (WHAT ACTUALLY MOVED GOLD)FUNDAMENTALS — DOMINANT DRIVERS
Last week was one of the most important macro weeks of the year, driven by:
1. 🟥 US CPI Release
• Inflation remained sticky (especially core)
• Markets reduced expectations of aggressive rate cuts
👉 Result:
• Yields ↑
• USD ↑
• Gold ↓ (pressure)
2. 🟥 FOMC Meeting
• Fed held rates steady
• Signaled “higher for longer”
• Only 1 rate cut expected in 2026
👉 Market reaction:
• disappointment (no dovish pivot)
• gold sold off sharply
3. 🟡 YIELDS + USD (KEY SUPPRESSION FORCE)
• Rising yields + strong dollar = direct bearish pressure on gold
4. 🟢 GEOPOLITICS (LIMITED SUPPORT)
• Ongoing Middle East tensions supported gold
• But were overpowered by monetary policy pressure
🔻 RESULT
Gold experienced:
• ~7–8% weekly decline (worst since 2020)
• breakdown from highs above 5000
• shift from bullish trend → corrective phase
🟡 TECHNICAL SUMMARY (LAST WEEK)
🔷 STRUCTURE

• Breakdown below short-term support
• Transition into distribution / correction
🔷 EMA BEHAVIOR (CRITICAL)
