The gold market has been volatile following the US CPI report, which showed a slight increase of 2.4% in September, higher than the forecast of 2.3%. This has significantly affected investors' expectations of the US Federal Reserve's interest rate policy. Expectations of interest rate cuts are decreasing, with only about an 85% chance of a 0.25% interest rate cut in November. This has put pressure on gold prices, with the rising US dollar reducing the appeal of safe-haven assets such as gold.

Market psychology

Investors are nervous as the CPI report shows persistent inflation and the market does not seem to be expecting any easing from the Fed. The CCI is currently showing signs of weakness for gold, while concerns about macro factors such as inflation and interest rates are causing many investors to shift to holding the US dollar, leading to downward pressure on gold. The market sentiment is now turning cautious, with signs of distribution appearing in the technical charts.

Technical analysis

On the M15 chart, gold is hovering around $2,684. The Bollinger Bands have narrowed, indicating a potential move higher. The CCI indicator is at 22.64, indicating a slight overbought signal and a possible correction to the downside. The nearest resistance is at $2,685 and if the price fails to break above it, gold will face the risk of falling further to the support level of $2,670.
