PAXG Before the Fed Decision: Gold News Today The Federal Reserve's next meeting runs September 15 to 16, 2026, with the rate decision due Wednesday 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, with the most recent hold voted in July under Chair Kevin Warsh, though markets have since shifted to pricing a quarter-point hike as more likely than not after 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, while inflation remaining above the Fed's 2% target keeps a hike scenario very much in play. Whichever way the decision goes, it's likely to move gold-linked assets like $PAXG. PAXG Price Prediction Chart: Technical Analysis Pair: PAX Gold/USD · Market: Spot (crypto, gold-backed token) · Timeframe: 1D · Timestamp: September 13, 2026, 05:12 UTC-3 $PAXG trades at $4,355.45, up 0.03% on the candle. PAXG has been trading inside a descending channel, with price making lower highs and lower lows. Currently, the price is near the lower part of the channel. The key factor is whether $PAXG can break above the descending channel and reclaim $4,397.85–$4,508.58. A confirmed breakout could signal a trend reversal and open the way toward $4,687.09 and $5,030.59. However, if the price fails to break the channel and moves below the $4,298.72 support, selling pressure could increase, with $4,201.79 as the next major support.
