This $10 profit shows XAUUSD’s toughness. The 0.5% retail sales figure, released at 8:30 PM WIB yesterday, boosted the U.S. dollar because it meant strong spending. Usually, a stronger dollar pushes gold down, but XAUUSD stayed steady, thanks to its safe-haven vibe amid tariff talks and global shifts. The data beat last month’s 0.4%, which lifted gold by $10, and yesterday’s result kept it resilient.
Retail sales measure how much people spend in the U.S., a big clue for the Fed’s next moves and currency strength. Weak sales help gold, while strong ones, like yesterday’s, support the dollar. Online reports from CNBC noted some caution after the number, and traders think gold might bounce back if inflation worries grow. The $5 range ($3,332 to $3,337) was calm, and that $10 profit turned a small move into a win with Exness’s 0.3-pip spreads.
Yesterday was a smart play. A 10-pip shift after the data gave $30 on a $50 trade, thanks to Exness’s low costs. Beginners could use a 10-pip stop-loss and 20-pip take-profit for a simple 2:1 reward. Pros might have scaled up near $3,335 with care. Timing it before 8:30 PM WIB was key. Risks? The 0.5% sales bump could have dropped XAUUSD to $3,330, or tariffs could shake things up. Mixing in EURUSD and using stop-losses, with Exness’s expert help, kept it safe. Yesterday’s $8 EURUSD profit shows the power of copy trading. Want to replicate it? Check our 5-minute Exness guide.
On the charts, XAUUSD’s daily RSI stayed neutral, with support at $3,330 and resistance at $3,340. The 4-hour Bollinger Bands widened, hinting at a possible move to $3,350 or $3,320, though it stayed tight. The Stochastic, near the middle, suggested no big turn, so a steady approach worked. Exness users found these levels easy to use for trades. Long-term, FXEmpire sees XAUUSD hitting $3,450 in 2025 if the economy slows, with $3,330 as solid support.
With the market closed today, XAUUSD gives us a breather. Yesterday’s $3,335 start and $10 profit, despite the 0.5% sales boost, prove its strength. No trades or news today means a weekend to plan.
