Intense data week just passed, and now it's time for an exciting rate hike week! As of 2 AM on 9/17, the probability of a Fed rate hike has reached 92.4%. We’ve also got economic forecasts + dot plots + the Chairman’s press conference coming up. Yesterday saw a slow decline all day, so we might see a rebound and recovery during the day. Markets are gradually adapting to the Fed’s 25BP rate hike. The rate decision meeting is the best time to act—manage your positions wisely. U.S. stocks and gold continue to drop, which still presents great opportunities. Why? Because the midterm elections aren’t over yet, and the AI narrative is still ongoing. This week is packed with events: - Gulf nations meeting (Hormuz Strait risks) - Fed rate decision, Bank of Japan rate decision These could easily trigger market fluctuations and stop-loss sweeps. For regular folks, the strategy is simple: staggered buying > one-time buying. Buy in batches monthly—buy less when prices are high, buy more when gold prices pull back. This averages out costs and almost guarantees no losses. XAUt’s highs are trending lower, and the descending channel remains intact. Support is at 4290-4230, which is the recent bottom defense line. First resistance is at 4380-4410, the 9/12 spike high.
