Gold – Eyes on Fed: Ready for Breakout or Pullback

Market Overview

Gold is trading around $4,209 – $4,213, holding strength ahead of the upcoming Federal Reserve rate-cut decision.

A softer U.S. Dollar and rising expectations of a December rate cut continue to support gold.

Safe-haven demand remains stable as geopolitical and economic uncertainty persists.

However, near-term volatility can increase as traders position themselves before the Fed announcement.

Bias: Neutral → Bullish, but confirmation is essential before entering.
