The gold price outlook is turning cautious as a strong rally into a decade-long trendline runs into slowing momentum and an overbought daily RSI. Razan Hilal, FOREX.com Market Analyst, breaks down gold's technical picture and the catalysts that could shape its next major move.
She examines why the daily RSI reaching overbought territory raises near-term pullback risk even as gold's broader trend stays bullish above a near ten-year trendline. She also weighs how the upcoming U.S. CPI report and Federal Reserve rate expectations could tip the balance, alongside persistent geopolitical risk across Europe.
