[Market Evening] The International Gold Price is Expected to Fall Below $1,798, and Bitcoin Will Fall Below the 20,000 Integer Mark
International gold prices continued to be under pressure and recorded their worst quarterly performance since the first quarter of 2021, as the dollar strengthened significantly, and major central banks adopted aggressive hawkish policies to deal with stubborn inflation, which also cast a shadow over the outlook for gold, with gold prices expected to fall below $1,798.

As of 17:00 (GMT+8), spot gold fell 0.102% to $1815.40/oz, and spot silver fell 0.159% to $20.673/oz.
Comment: International gold prices continue to be under pressure and are expected to record their worst quarterly performance since the first quarter of 2021, as the dollar has strengthened significantly, and the aggressive hawkish policies of major central banks to deal with stubborn inflation also cast a shadow over the outlook for gold. With the conclusion of the ECB's Sintra Forum, quarter-end flows and US inflation data will drive gold prices.
Suggestion: short spot gold at 1814.70, and the target point is 1803.60.
As of 17:00 (GMT+8), the US dollar index rose 0.010% to 104.86, EUR/USD fell 0.006% to 1.04400; GBP/USD rose 0.154% to 1.21388; AUD/USD rose 0.126% to 0.68895; USD /JPY fell 0.270% to 136.147.
Comment: If the euro continues to slide, the bottom will again test the low 1.0359 reached in mid-June, and the top 1.0530 constitutes initial resistance. A further break below the 1.2114 retracement level would open a path to the 2022 low of 1.1934. The top 1.2330 currently constitutes the initial resistance, and the decline above this level may be expected to get a respite.
Suggestion: short the euro against the dollar at 1.04350, and the target point is 1.03970.
As of 17:00 (GMT+8), WTI rose 0.230% to $108.571/barrel; Brent rose 0.532% to $112.221/barrel.
Comment: International oil prices were mixed. Although the US refined oil inventories increased, the tight global supply and demand situation is expected to limit the downside of oil prices. Ecuador's output fell due to ongoing protests, and Saudi Arabia is likely to raise light sweet crude prices for a second straight month in August, targeting Asian customers.
Suggestion: long US crude oil at 108.650, and the target point is 110.980.
