1. Fundamentals

The U.S released the GDP Revised QoQ report for Q3 on November 30, 2022. The GDP is one of the major indicators that affect the market widely, it measures the annualized change in the inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy and it is the primary indicator of the economy’s health. A higher-than-expected data is bullish for the dollar index, and lower-than-expected data is bearish for the dollar index. The data came out to be 2.9% rather than the forecasted result of 2.7% which was bullish for the dollar. Bears interfered in the market, and gold prices drop sharply by $7 upon this decision.

Gold has decreased sharply from the $1763 to $1754 level breaking the support level, and it is expected to decrease further in the upcoming day due to high volatility in the market because of the Fed meeting in December 13-14 before bouncing up if they agreed to only raise interest rates by 50 BP
