XAUUSD Chart Analysis
After dropping from the key resistance level of $1660 the gold lost ground further and dropped to the key support level at $1630. Since today morning the gold has been on a recovery path as the USD is dropping against all the major pairs. With the start of the Asian session, investors scrambled to buy apparently cheaper gold. The price action would likely stay on the same path till we know what FOMC has to offer on the interest rate front later today. If interest rates are raised by another 75bps today, then Gold could drop sharply tonight to move below the support zone on the chart at $1620.
