Today, U.S. Retail Sales figures were released. Retail sales increased by 0.7%, surpassing the forecast of 0.6%. However, Core Retail Sales rose by only 0.2%, below the anticipated 0.4%.
These figures indicate continued strength in U.S. consumer spending, which can lead to a stronger U.S. dollar(DXY) . A stronger dollar typically exerts downward pressure on gold prices, as gold is priced in dollars, making it more expensive for international investors when the dollar appreciates.
However, it's important to note that multiple factors influence gold prices, including upcoming Federal Reserve decisions on interest rates and global economic conditions.
---------------------------------------------- Gold(XAUUSD) continued to fall as I expected and is currently moving through the Support zone($2,642-$2,620) and the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ)[$2,637-$2,625].
According to Elliott's wave theory, Gold seems to be completing wave 5.
Also, we can see the Regular Divergence(RD+) between Consecutive Valleys.
I expect Gold to start rising again from the PRZ and Support lines and attack the Resistance lines.
⚠️Note: If Gold breaks the Support zone($2,642-$2,620), we can expect more dumps.⚠️
