International gold prices showed a very aggressive trend this morning. The price started around 4309, broke through the key resistance at 4368 in one go, and finally closed near 4422 with high volatility, even touching 4426 at the highest. The entire morning's rhythm was a relentless upward push, with bullish sentiment clearly ignited.



Why is this happening? Let's look at the fundamentals first. The US manufacturing PMI data released today was not ideal, prompting the market to reassess the Federal Reserve's rate cut timetable, which put short-term pressure on the dollar. When the dollar is weak, commodities priced in USD like gold naturally tend to rebound. Plus, geopolitical tensions remain tense, with safe-haven funds continuously flowing into gold and government bonds—safe-haven assets. The combination of these factors has driven gold prices higher.

From a technical perspective, on the 1-hour chart, gold has almost no correction after breaking previous highs. The moving average system shows a bullish stance, and the MACD histogram is still enlarging, indicating that bullish momentum still has plenty of energy. The previous 4400 level has now become a strong support. If the price pulls back to this level in the afternoon and holds, then further upward exploration is possible.

From a practical trading standpoint, you can buy in batches within the 4400 to 4410 range, with a stop-loss set below 4390. If everything goes smoothly, target the 4435 level first, and then look at 4450 if broken. In this kind of market, dips to buy are the way to go—avoid chasing highs. Waiting for minor corrections provides better entry opportunities. If the price surges directly, wait for a strong pullback to a support level before entering, so you can participate in the upward trend without getting caught at a relatively high position.

Of course, things are not 100% optimistic. If the stop-loss level is broken, exit immediately—there's no need to fight the market. Gold market volatility can be significant, and risk management always comes first.

A weak US dollar should lead to rising gold; this logic has been overused for a long time. --- Can the 4400 support hold? Let's see how the midday session performs. --- It's either safe-haven funds or geopolitical issues. I'm tired of hearing these excuses. --- People chasing highs are probably bleeding internally now. I told you not to rush in. --- MACD amplifies and then you just go all in? This kind of market is most likely to trap traders. --- Gradually adding long positions is a good strategy, but only if you can truly stick to discipline. Most people can't. --- That 4450 target is too optimistic. Don't get carried away. --- I think placing a stop-loss at 4390 is a bit loose; the market's decline is completely irrational.

When the US dollar weakens, gold takes off. This logic really works every time. If 4400 can't hold, I'll just run. I don't want to be trapped at this high level. Chasing highs is for fools. I'll wait for a correction before getting on board.

Oh my, this wave of gold prices is really fierce, directly showcasing a one-sided rally. This time, the US dollar really has to give way. Has the MACD expanded? Then we need to watch the 4400 level. If it's broken, just get out immediately; no greed. This wave of safe-haven funds entering the market feels like there’s still more to come.

When the US dollar is weak, gold takes off. This logic is never outdated. Forget it, I'll wait for a pullback before getting on board. Chasing highs really doesn't end well. If the 4400 support can't hold, I'll just sell out directly. Risk management is the key. This round of safe-haven funds is really fierce. As soon as there is any movement in geopolitics, gold surges. Break 4435 and then look at 4450. Stay steady, no rush.

When the dollar is weak, gold takes off. This routine is so familiar. The MACD is expanding, and the bulls are still there. If 4400 can't be broken, I'll withdraw. Can it really reach 4450, or will I get cut again? The most dangerous time is often when safe-haven funds enter the market. What if the signal reverses?

Damn, is the US dollar so weak now? Gold is soaring directly. Can the bulls hold until 4450 this time? It feels a bit fierce. Pullbacks to go long are indeed stable, but I'm still afraid of getting trapped, so I need to wait for an opportunity. Is the Federal Reserve going to cut interest rates? Then gold has just started. We need to hold 4400, or else this bull run will be awkward. With risk-averse funds going so crazy, is the geopolitical situation really that tense? Yesterday it was over 4300, and today it surged to 4420. That must be a huge order. Don’t fool me; such market conditions are usually signals of a reversal, right? Bet on 4435, and if it breaks, just run. Gold really, as soon as the dollar softens, it starts to rise chaotically. Risk control is really crucial.

Gold prices have indeed surged this time, but it feels like the expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts are the bigger factor. --- If 4400 can't hold, I'll withdraw first; there's no need to hold on stubbornly. --- More safe-haven funds? Come on, I'm tired of hearing that excuse. --- Bullish momentum is full of energy? I think they're just waiting to cut the leeks. --- A pullback to buy on dips sounds simple, but in practice, how many times have you been trapped? --- Dollar weak, gold rises—everyone knows this logic, but the key is how long it can last. --- Stop-loss at 4390 was set too casually; that price level is too easy to be swept out. --- The geopolitical situation is a reason that can be used anytime; it's a bit lazy. --- I just want to know what to do if 4435 breaks; why isn't there a contingency plan in the analysis?
