Today’s gold view from the LemonTrades desk
Bearish. Gold is down 2.30% and has broken its 20-day low. Firm Fed expectations are outweighing safe-haven demand from Iran tension.
- 4,033.41 overnight low
- 4,075.51 20-day low, now broken
- 4,106.61 prior day low
- 4,148.61 overnight high
What would flip it: A reclaim of 4,075.51 and 4,106.61 would neutralize the bias. · Actual US strikes on Iran could trigger a strong haven bid.
