#美国核心物价涨幅不及市场预估 Weekend Gold Market Review and Next Week Outlook

Friday’s rapid plunge in gold was essentially the result of a combination of news and technical factors. The Fed’s rhetoric heated up, and expectations for dollar policy adjustments shifted, causing an immediate reaction in the dollar index—short-term rally exceeding 20 points. As the dollar strengthened, gold priced in dollars naturally suffered, with spot gold dropping directly to the 4550 level.

Coincidentally, this timing also coincided with a technical correction point, allowing the main players to quickly break through support levels, shaking out many retail long positions. However, the subsequent rapid rebound clearly indicates that this is not a trend reversal but merely a thorough shakeout.

From our live trading perspective, the long positions repeatedly built between 4580-4587 before the US session were all precisely closed for profit. The longs entered again in the same zone in the evening and successfully reached target levels of 4615-4620. This week’s operations maintained a record of no-loss trades.

After all long positions were closed, I immediately issued a warning to beware of sudden midnight moves. As a result, gold seemed to press the launch button, plunging nearly $80 straight down, with the lowest point reaching 4536. This extreme volatility actually reminds us how important cautious trading is.

Fortunately, gold then experienced a V-shaped reversal, and is now back around 4590. The bullish upward channel remains intact. From a technical standpoint, there is still momentum to challenge above 4600 next week.

Next week’s gold trading strategy:
Buy on dips within the 4570-4580 range, targeting 4620-4640. If the price breaks above, continue to watch the higher zone of 4660-4680.
