Following yesterday’s bullish reaction, gold entered the new session showing a clear recovery structure, but momentum remains volatile as the market continues to trade amid mixed macro pressures. The current recovery is taking place and liquidity conditions remain relatively weak ahead of high-impact US data later this week, especially core price index data and GDP growth – two key reports that could significantly influence the Fed’s policy outlook in June.
From a macro perspective, markets remain trapped between two conflicting narratives. On the one hand, slowing economic momentum, recession anxiety and low oil prices continue to support defensive demand for gold. On the other hand, the Federal Reserve’s latest communication continued to maintain a relatively hawkish tone, with policymakers repeatedly emphasizing that inflation is still ongoing and that interest rate cuts may be delayed than previously expected.
This macro divergence has caused corrections and instability in the gold price structure. Instead of the hasty tilt seen in previous months, markets are reacting strongly around liquidity and the macro-driven technology sector.
Technically, gold prices are currently recovering within a short-term bullish structure after successfully holding the support area below. However, the price is currently approaching the important crossover area around 457x-458x near the upper demand zone + trendline. This area represents the first major liquidity resistance and broader sellers may attempt to re-enter based on a bearish structure on the higher time frames.
main scene
If gold continues to recover to the upper demand zone + trendline + crossover zone, the market may face new selling pressure from areas of higher liquidity. As long as price remains below the overhead resistance structure, the broader bias remains in favor of a continuation of the bearish move to the lower support area.
The market currently looks more like a corrective recovery within a broader bearish environment than the start of a strong bullish reversal.
alternative
If gold prices can break and hold above overhead trendline resistance, short-term momentum could extend into the next liquidity zone as a weaker U.S. dollar and recession concerns continue to support demand for the precious metal.
Short-term bias: Recovery within the correction structure.
Medium-term bias: Still bearish below key resistance area.
