April 6th Gold Morning Latest Trend Analysis and Trading Strategy

Today, gold opened with a significant gap down, briefly dropping to 4600 during the session before gradually stabilizing. Currently, the price is fluctuating narrowly around 4620. The overall market sentiment remains cautious, with neither bulls nor bears daring to exert too much force.

This wave of gold weakness was mainly driven by a double whammy of non-farm payroll data and Trump’s remarks, which heavily bearish the market. The key reason is that this non-farm report far exceeded market expectations, completely erasing the Fed's June rate cut expectations. As a result, the US dollar index and Treasury yields strengthened simultaneously, exerting strong downward pressure on gold prices. This was the most critical factor behind the early morning gap down in gold.

Although geopolitical tensions in the Middle East still provide some safe-haven support, offering a slight boost to gold, this support is insufficient against such strong negative news, and it cannot reverse the overall bearish trend of gold.

From a technical perspective, after consecutive declines, short-term indicators are now in a severely oversold state, deviating from normal operating ranges. Therefore, a technical correction is likely to occur soon. Moreover, with no major economic data releases today and no new market news, the market is expected to mainly fluctuate within a range for correction, with small movements around the current levels, making it difficult to see a strong trending move.

Strong support levels: 4550-4580
Resistance levels: 4750-4800
