The brokerage added, "We have observed a double bottom pattern on the hourly chart, with the neckline placed around the 71750 level. A breakout above this level will be a bullish sign for prices, potentially rallying up to the 72500 level by next week. Buying is recommended above the 71750 level, targeting 72000 on an intraday basis."
Last week, gold was broadly volatile after its four consecutive weekly surge. This comes after softer-than-expected inflation data heightened hopes of early rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve this year.
Earlier this week, the FOMC gave hawkish outcomes despite US inflation data coming softer than expected. Fed kept key fund rates at a 23-year high of 5.25-5.5% for the seventh time in a row. Instead of earlier three rate cut expectations in 2024, the Fed now expects only 1 rate cut this year and hints at four rate cuts in 2025.
The market believes there is a 70% probability of a 25 bps rate cut by FOMC in September policy, as per the CME FedWatch Tool.
