XAUUSD Technical Analysis
Analyzing the daily chart of gold, the uptrend has become prominent since the beginning of the year. Following the inauguration of the Trump administration in late January, the upward momentum has intensified. Gold, which started the year at 2,624 USD, has now risen to 2,907 USD, marking a nearly 300 USD increase in two months.
The Trump administration is planning to impose a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum, and the market expects an announcement regarding the reciprocal tariff plan this week. The uncertainty surrounding these developments is fueling concerns, making gold an attractive asset regardless of technical factors.
The RSI stands at 80, indicating strong momentum. However, if the tariff plan is postponed or altered, there is a risk of a pullback. While the overall trend remains bullish, cautious trading is advised.
