The Anticipated Peace in Europe Is Expected to Drive Gold Prices Lower

After reaching a new all-time high earlier this week, gold prices have decisively declined in response to reports of successful negotiations between world leaders Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. The pressure on gold, often referred to as the "yellow metal," is fueled not only by the potential resolution of the military conflict in Europe but also by the restructuring of the global order following 30 years of U.S. dominance.

Previously, many investors purchased gold as a hedge against geopolitical risks. However, the realization that agreements between Moscow and Washington could reshape the world order and potentially end this cycle has instilled optimism, leading to weakened demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Additionally, the resurgence and potential growth of the U.S. dollar, driven by positive economic developments in the United States, further contribute to the negative outlook for gold.

Technical outlook and trading idea:

This image is no longer relevant

The current price is below the middle line of the Bollinger Bands, as well as below the 5-day and 14-day simple moving averages (SMAs). The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above the oversold zone but is declining, while the Stochastic oscillator is also nearing this zone.

Further declines in the price of gold are anticipated, especially if it drops below 2855.35. In that case, it could fall to 2785.35 as early as next week.
