Gold Trade Setup - 8th Dec
Gold begins the new week holding firm near record territory, with market attention squarely on the Federal Reserve decision midweek. With US yields stabilising around recent levels and rate expectations leaning toward an easing tilt, the macro backdrop remains supportive for Gold. Investors are positioning for softer real yields and a potentially weaker dollar. In this environment, gold continues to attract both strategic allocation and tactical momentum flows, reinforcing the case for a buy-the-dip and breakout-friendly bias into key event risk. From a price-action perspective, Gold has maintained a strong bullish structure, suggesting that dips into well-defined support zones may continue to be absorbed by demand. As volatility rises ahead of the Fed, this setup focuses on disciplined entries around logical pullback levels or confirmation above resistance, with clear invalidation markers to manage risk in a headline-driven week. Gold Trade Setup: Pair / Asset Bias & Entries Stop / Invalidation Targets Why A+ (fundamentals, Technicals, Sentiment) Near-term catalysts (UK time) GOLD LONG – Buy dip & pullbacks between 4185 – 4200 We’ll consider adding on a clean break/hold above 4265 Daily close below 4130 T1: 4300 T2: 4380 Fundamentals: Fed cut expectations & softer USD supportive for non-yielding gold. Technicals: price is holding near record-area highs; market watching a push through the mid-4260s for continuation. Sentiment: strong safe-haven & policy-easing bid into the week’s main macro event. Wed 10 Dec: 19:00 – FOMC Meeting Chart by TradingView – Gold Trade Setup – 8th Dec Conclusion This gold setup qualifies as A+ for the week ahead due to clean alignment across fundamentals, technicals, and sentiment. Fundamentally, the odds of a more accommodative Fed path keep the bias constructive for non-yielding assets. Technically, the trend remains intact, and the market is pressing into breakout conditions that can extend bullish continuation if resistance gives way. Sentiment also supports the trade, with gold positioned as a preferred hedge and liquidity magnet during major central bank risk. The core plan remains straightforward: favour controlled dip buys into support or a confirmed break higher, while respecting a firm invalidation level in case the Fed surprises with a hawkish message that re-lifts yields and the dollar. If the macro narrative unfolds as expected, gold has a strong probability of probing new highs, with upside targets well-defined for trend continuation through the remainder of the week.
