XAU/USD chart on the hourly time frame

Gold prices saw a strong rise today, reaching $3,020 per ounce, benefiting from a weaker dollar and market anticipation of the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. 

General Trend: Upward

  • Important Pivot Area: $3,000-$2,980
  • Major Upside Barrier: $3,035-$3,050

If gold can hold above $3,000, it could target $3,035-$3,050 as its next target. A break below $2,980 could trigger a downward correction.
Gold remains supported by a weak dollar and increased demand for safe-haven assets. As markets await the Federal Reserve's decision, further gains could be seen if economic data is weak.
