Gold Price Forecast for Next WeekXAU/USD SpotFX:XAUUSDnbhmvbFollowing a sharp pullback from recent highs, international gold has staged a mild stabilization and recovery. Currently, spot London gold is oscillating around $4,490 per ounce, with intense tug-of-war between bullish and bearish forces. This sell-off does not mark the end of the bull market; it is a cyclical correction driven by high interest rates, meaning the short-term trend will be dominated by range-bound consolidation and bottom-seeking. In the short term, international gold will undergo wide sideways fluctuations while seeking a bottom. Capped by a strong U.S. dollar and Treasury yields, a rapid rebound to previous highs is unlikely. The $4,350–$4,400 range represents strong downside support—while a break below this zone could trigger further downside tests, a decisive breach is improbable. A firm hold above this support zone will pave the way for gradual range-bound recovery, with repeated volatile swings as the norm rather than a one-sided trend. For the medium to long term, I maintain a firmly bullish stance. High interest rates are unsustainable in the long run. Mounting U.S. debt pressures will inevitably lead to future rate cuts, and declining real interest rates will directly act as a major catalyst for gold. Long-standing uncertainties including global geopolitical tensions and debt risks solidify gold’s irreplaceable role as a safe-haven and strategic allocation asset. The trend of central bank gold purchases remains intact, with sustained physical demand providing underlying support. This correction represents a strategic buying opportunity for the medium to long term, not a trend reversal. Trading Strategy：For retail investors pursuing short-term trades:Accumulate on dips in batches; avoid full-position allocation at once.Implement strict stop-loss controls at all times. Monitor critical catalysts closely: U.S. CPI data, non-farm payroll figures, and subsequent Federal Reserve communications.Caution is warranted if the Fed adopts a more hawkish tone or even resumes rate hikes, alongside a sustained U.S. dollar rally or better-than-expected U.S. economic recovery—these factors could trigger further gold price corrections. 📌 I share daily trading strategies
