Fundamental Analysis

• Gold sees dip buying, reacting to Fibonacci retracement and trendlines.

XAUUSD Technical Analysis

Analyzing the daily chart for gold: Gold has declined to approximately 2,535 USD, aligning with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, after falling over 200 USD from its peak. The post-presidential election profit-taking appears to have subsided.

With support from the 50% Fibonacci retracement and overlapping trendlines, gold has rebounded from 2,535 USD to around 2,610 USD. Despite the ongoing strength of the USD, it has exceeded the 38.2% retracement, potentially rising further to the 23.6% level near 2,670 USD.

Fundamentally, reports of U.S. approval for Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles within Russian territory may have bolstered gold as a safe-haven asset.
