Gold’s Correction: Buying Opportunity or Trap? [Weekly XAU/USD Analysis + Forecast + Trading Playbook]
Hello, fellow traders!
Gold just had its roughest week since November, lagging behind most major assets out there. The culprit? A surprise 90-day tariff truce between the U.S. and China that sparked a wave of optimism—pulling money away from safe havens and into riskier bets.
While the short-term move reflects sentiment-driven de-risking, Gold’s broader uptrend isn’t broken yet → bullion remains up over 20% YTD.
