We weighted the wrong direction

Gold reclaims $4,400 and reaches $4,409 — but the reason is a weak dollar, not the Fed

The scenario we put last at 25% is the one that happened. Worth saying plainly — and worth separating the move from its cause, because they are not the same strength of signal.

✅ Partly correct

Grading Tuesday’s call — the close was inside our range, but today’s direction was the one we ranked last

We weighted consolidation in a lower range of $4,350–$4,400 at 40%, our highest weight, and gold closed Tuesday at $4,392 — inside it. We also said that breaking $4,400 made the 100-day average at $4,350 the real support, and the price did touch $4,355–$4,360 during the session before turning.

The scenario we put at the bottom of the ranking — 25%, recovery above $4,400 toward $4,460 — is the one that started working today. Gold rebounded hard through $4,400 to $4,409 (+1.2%). We weighted the wrong direction for today’s move.

Reclaimed $4,400 after two weak sessions, helped by the dollar falling against the yen.

What sat behind it

Gold rose 1.2% today, but not because the odds of a hike fell — those were flat at about 59%. It rose because the dollar weakened on yen strength specifically, not because the Fed outlook changed. The distinction matters: a rally built on a genuine repricing of rate expectations rests on firmer ground and is harder to reverse. A rally built on a passing currency move can unwind the moment the dollar steadies. Not every rise in gold carries the same weight — ask what caused it before you read the trend.
