Summary
Weekend analysis. XAU/USD lost 310 pips on the week, dropping from $2,168 to $2,135. The FOMC hawkish surprise drove the decline. The double bottom at $2,123-$2,125 is the key support. If it holds, a recovery toward $2,168 is possible next week.
Trading Notes
The weekly chart shows a long lower wick at $2,123. Buyers defended this level.
Forex gold tends to gap on Sunday open when geopolitical events occur over the weekend.
Next week: focus on the $2,125 support. A break below targets $2,095 (200-day MA).
Prop Firm Warnings
Weekend review: calculate your exact remaining drawdown in pips for XAU/USD.

Suggested Strategy
Review and plan. Long XAU/USD at $2,125 with a stop at $2,105 if support holds next week. Short at $2,168 if resistance holds. Wait for confirmation before entering.
