GOLD approaching 2,340USD, technical outlook analysis

On Thursday (June 20) in the Asian market, spot gold suddenly increased sharply in the short term. Gold price once approached the mark of 2,340 USD/ounce, increasing nearly 11 USD during the day.

Regarding basic content, there is currently no sudden impact on the market. Earlier Data released on Tuesday showed US retail sales barely grew in May, with last month's data revised down sharply, suggesting economic activity remained sluggish in the second quarter.
CME's FedWatch tool shows that the likelihood of the Fed cutting interest rates in September increased slightly to 64.1% from 61% a day earlier.

In terms of the overall fundamental picture, the main factor shaping the gold price trend remains the market's expectations for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Although gold prices have increased, the current trend is still unclear because the market is waiting for more decisive news. The basic principle is that lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing gold, meaning gold prices will benefit when interest rates are lower or expectations of interest rate cuts become stronger.
The market is expecting at least one interest rate cut from the Fed. The value of the US Dollar has been fully valued in this. So unless this changes significantly, gold prices are expected to remain supported for a long time to come.

However, with a trading week that sees little major macro data, the immediate focus will be on US weekly jobless claims data on Thursday and preliminary PMI figures on Thursday.

Analysis of technical prospects for XAUUSD
Gold is still maintaining its recovery momentum from the $2,300 level and is now once again testing the technical confluence that is the pressure sent to readers in previous publications in the $2,340 - $2,345 area. This is the price area of ​​the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level, the 21-day moving average (EMA21) and the upper edge of the trend price channel, horizontal resistance of 2,345USD.
As long as gold remains below EMA21 and within the price channel, the technical outlook remains more bearish.

On the other hand, if gold falls below $2,324 it will continue to tend to retest the $2,300 - $2,305 area in the short term.
Next, a new bearish cycle will be ushered in once the $2,300 level is broken below.
It is worth noting that in case the gold price moves above the EMA21, breaking the price channel, the bearish outlook will no longer be positive, but instead the increase could head towards 2,364USD in the short term and more than that. original price 2,400USD. So, for open short positions should be protected behind EMA21, after the $2,345 level is broken.

During the day, the technical outlook for gold prices leans to the downside with the following technical levels noted.
Support: 2,324 – 2,305 – 2,300USD
Resistance: 2,340 – 2,345USD
