Liquidations remain light in dollar terms, but longs have taken the clear majority in both windows, consistent with the pullback toward support (data via Coinglass).

Crypto News Today: PAX Gold Before the Fed Decision

The Fed's rate decision lands tomorrow, September 16, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, alongside updated economic projections. 

The Fed has held its benchmark rate at 3.50% to 3.75% since December 2025, but markets have shifted toward pricing a quarter-point hike as more likely than not after Chair Kevin Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole speech and a solid August jobs report. 

Softer July employment and retail-sales data had earlier supported the case for another hold, and inflation staying above the Fed's 2% target keeps both outcomes in play. 

Whichever way it goes, it's likely to move gold-linked assets like PAXG quickly.

Gold Prediction Key Levels to Watch: Gold Outlook

PAX Gold Forecast: Before and After the Fed Meeting

Bull case: A dovish outcome tomorrow, combined with a bounce from the $4,201.79 support zone, could send PAXG back toward the EMA cluster and then $4,397.85, with $4,508.58 and $4,687.09 further out if the move extends.

Bear case: A hawkish surprise or confirmed hike could push PAXG through $4,201.79, opening a deeper leg lower. 

The descending channel and the long-skewed liquidations both suggest the path of least resistance is still down heading into the decision.

PAXG Prediction: Triggers and Invalidation

PAX Gold Price Prediction: Can $PAXG Reach $5,030.59?

$5,030.59 is the highest resistance marked on the chart. Getting there would require $PAXG to first clear $4,397.85, then $4,508.58 and $4,687.09 in turn, a move that would likely need a sustained dovish shift from the Fed rather than just tomorrow's single decision.

According to CoinGabbar analysts, PAXG is sitting right on support with the Fed decision just a day away, making this one of the more binary setups on the chart right now. 

The $4,201.79 to $4,382.05 zone will likely define the next move once the verdict lands.
