Analysis of US Federal Reserve's September meeting and Dot Plot projections as a key driver for gold price movements. The article maps three scenarios: if Fed holds steady on rate guidance, gold likely rallies; if Fed signals two hikes this year with future cuts, gold trends up; if Fed signals two hikes with rates held higher longer, gold faces downside. Technically, gold trades in a 4,300–4,540 range with resistance at 4,540 and support at 4,300. The Dot Plot outcome will be critical for near-term direction.
