How to read this chart
The chart opens on XAU/USD, the US-dollar price of one troy ounce of gold. Switch timeframes from 1 minute to weekly in the toolbar; O, H and L are the open, high and low of the candle that is still forming. The dots above the candles mark gold news published in that period, so you can check whether price actually reacted to a headline. The AI analysis panel on the right is available after you sign in.
What usually moves XAU/USD
Gold pays no interest, so it trades against US real yields and the dollar. The biggest daily ranges tend to come on US CPI and non-farm payrolls days and around Federal Reserve rate decisions, and geopolitical news can move it just as quickly. The market is open almost 24 hours from Monday to Friday; liquidity is deepest when the London and New York sessions overlap, roughly 12:00–16:00 UTC.
