Why XAUUSD Price crashed from $3404 – $3369/3355 zone | As Projected in advance by Piyush Ratnu Gold Market Research | Key Factors driving GOLD XAUUSD Price in August 2025

🔻Gold price is falling toward $3,353 S3 (as projected today early morning) early Monday, replicating the bearish moves seen in Friday’s Asian trades as $3,400 remains a tough nut to crack for buyers.

🔻Risk Appetite + = XAUUSD (-)

Risk flows extend into Asia at the start of the week on Monday as traders remain hopeful that the US-China August 12 tariff deadline will be extended, averting imposition of higher levies.

🔻POTUS – Putin Meeting 15 August 2025

Rising optimism around a likely meeting between US President Donald and Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15 in Alaska to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.

🔻Deflation in China

Gold price also takes a hit due to the persistent factory-gate deflation in China. While consumer prices in the country have remained stable, the Producer Price Index (PPI) in July fell 3.6%, surpassing the forecast of a 3.3% decline. Note that China is the world’s top Gold consumer.

🔻Profit Booking $3400+ Short positions

The latest leg down in Gold could also be sponsored by profit-taking as traders reposition themselves ahead of Tuesday’s critical Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data.

⏺Factors that might SUPPORT Gold Price:

Gold price downside could remain capped amid increased dovish expectations surrounding the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest-rate cuts, following a slew of downbeat US economic data and tariffs in effect.

At a speech during a bankers’ conference in Colorado on Saturday, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman, one of two Fed dissenters, said that “the latest labor market data reinforce my view” that the Fed should cut interest rates three times this year.

Concerns over the Fed appointments and its independence could also remain supportive of the bright metal.

The above factors contribute to the risk-on market environment, as of writing, diminishing Gold price demand as a safe-haven asset.

Crucial Price Zones Ahead:

🔺$3385/3404/3434/3464

🔻$3333/3303/3285/3269

Trade Gold with caution! High Volatility Head.
