XAUUSD (GC) Fundamental Analysis + Technical Analysis - 27 November 2025 (Thanksgiving-day)
Gold consolidates as Fed rate-cut bets stay elevated and holiday liquidity dries up.
1. Fundamental Overview, What’s Driving Gold Today
Thanksgiving is shaping today’s session: thin liquidity, lower volume, and lower conviction, which makes gold more reactive to any unexpected headline.
Gold holds near $4,160–$4,175 as buyers lean on supportive macro drivers:
Key Drivers (from MRKT’s Fundamental Dashboard):
- Fed easing expectations (44%, bullish):
December cut probability stays anchored above 80% after JPMorgan’s upgrade and soft macro data. Lower real yields continue supporting gold. - Holiday liquidity drought (42%, neutral):
U.S. Thanksgiving leads to a 35–45% volume reduction. Thin order books = sharp wicks, reduced follow-through. - USD weakness with low conviction (10%, bullish):
Dollar stays soft but lacks momentum—enough to support gold, but not enough for a breakout. - BOJ dovish guidance (4%, bullish):
Additional global easing signals help maintain a supportive macro backdrop for gold.
