21:04 UTC

Downtrend, momentum slowing · RSI 46 · price 4,191.13

Lower highs, basing near 4150-4210.

Sustained downtrend off the 4570 high earlier in the window, with the YTD low printed near 4023 before a recovery stalled at 4380. Price now consolidates around the 4200 pivot under a hawkish Fed and firmer USD that have kept gold pinned. ATR remains elevated but is easing off the impulse lows as the market coils between 4136 and 4220.

Support: 4,136.00, 4,120.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,200.00, 4,380.00

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above the 4220 swing high challenges the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold 4120 week low reopens the 4023 ytd low
  • S&P Global PMIs Tue 13:45 GMT could materially shift this read

21:04 UTC

Downtrend, consolidating near lows · RSI 45 · price 4,191.13

Lower highs and lower lows; range carving above prior low.

Gold remains in a clear H4 downtrend, posting lower highs from the 4382 swing peak through a sixth straight weekly decline as a hawkish Fed and firmer USD/real yields cap rallies. Price is now consolidating in the 4120-4220 band, holding above the 4023 YTD low with the 4200 pivot acting as overhead resistance. ATR has eased off the panic-leg highs, signalling compression after the drop.

Support: 4,120.00

Resistance: 4,200.00, 4,246.47, 4,382.39

What it said to watch

  • Close above the 4200 pivot and 4246 recent high would challenge the lower-high sequence
  • Loss of the 4120 one-week low opens the path to the 4023 YTD low
  • US flash PMIs Tue 13:45 GMT and Core PCE Thu 12:30 GMT could materially shift this read

17:03 UTC

Downtrend, attempting to base · RSI 45 · price 4,183.23

Lower highs and lower lows, consolidating above 4121.

Gold remains in a multi-week downtrend, grinding lower under hawkish-Fed repricing after the FOMC held at 3.75% with lifted projections; the broad sequence of lower highs and lower lows persists from the 4565 area down to the 4023 YTD low. Price is now consolidating in a 4121-4221 band, and the bounce off the lows lacks follow-through with the candle stalling under the 4221 pivot. Price sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, keeping the structural read pointed lower.

Support: 4,121.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,221.00

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 4221 pivot would challenge the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold 4121 opens the path to the 4023 YTD low
  • Tue S&P Global PMIs and Thu Core PCE could materially shift this read

17:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum easing · RSI 45 · price 4,183.23

Lower highs and lower lows, basing near lows.

Gold remains in a clear downtrend, having shed value over multiple weeks as a hawkish FOMC and a US-Iran de-escalation stripped the safe-haven bid. Price carved a base near the 4121 swing low and is grinding back toward the 4220 cap, but the bounce lacks conviction with price still below EMA20 and EMA50. The lower-high structure off the 4382 peak stays intact while 4220 holds.

Support: 4,121.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,220.00, 4,316.00, 4,382.00

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 4220 would challenge the lower-high structure; above 4316 invalidates it
  • Failure to hold 4121 opens the path toward the 4023 ytd low
  • Tue S&P Global PMIs and Thu Core PCE could materially shift this read

13:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum easing · RSI 47 · price 4,207.31

Lower highs and lower lows; bounce off 4121 floor.

Gold remains in a multi-week downtrend, pressing toward the YTD low after the hawkish FOMC dots and rising real yields killed the safe-haven bid. Price has stabilised off the 4121 one-week floor and is consolidating in a 4150-4220 band, holding below both EMA20 and EMA50. ATR remains elevated, consistent with an active trend rather than compression.

What it said to watch

  • Waller speech and S&P Global PMIs could materially shift this read
  • Close back above 4257 would break the chain of lower highs
  • Loss of 4121 confirms continuation toward the 4023 ytd low

13:03 UTC

Downtrend, bounce off floor · RSI 47 · price 4,207.31

Lower highs/lows, consolidating above 4121.

Gold remains in a multi-week downtrend, pressured into a sixth weekly loss by the hawkish FOMC and higher real yields. Price carved a near-term floor at the 4121 weekly low and has recovered into a 4121-4220 consolidation, but trades below the EMA20/EMA50 cluster with the YTD low at 4023 still in reach. The bounce stalled at the 4220 recent high, well short of the 4350 swing high.

Support: 4,121.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,220.00, 4,350.00

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold 4121 weekly low opens the path to the 4023 ytd low
  • H4 close above 4220 recent high challenges the EMA cluster and lower-highs line
  • Waller speech 13:00 UTC and S&P Global PMIs Tue 13:45 UTC could shift this read
  • Core PCE Thu 12:30 UTC is the validation test for the dollar rally pressuring gold

09:03 UTC

Downtrend, bounce off lows · RSI 43 · price 4,189.62

Lower highs, higher low at 4121.

Gold remains in a multi-week downtrend off the 4595 area, printing successive lower highs as the hawkish FOMC dot plot and DXY at YTD highs cap rallies. Price carved a higher low at 4121 and has recovered toward the 4200-4210 cap, but sits below both EMA20 and EMA50. ATR is still elevated, reflecting the expansion that drove the leg from 4380 to 4121.

Resistance: 4,210.00, 4,246.47

What it said to watch

  • Sustained H4 close above 4210 would challenge the lower-high structure toward 4246
  • Loss of 4121 reopens the 4023 ytd low
  • Fed's Waller 13:00 UTC and Tue PMIs could materially shift this read

09:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum slowing · RSI 45 · price 4,189.62

Lower highs, lower lows; basing above one-week low.

Gold remains in a multi-week downtrend, carving lower highs and lower lows as the hawkish FOMC dot-plot and DXY at YTD highs keep bullion pressured. Price is basing just above the 4121 one-week low after a sharp leg down from 4380, with the 4200-4210 zone capping recovery attempts. ATR is easing off the spike highs but stays elevated, leaving the 4023 YTD low as the key downside marker.

Resistance: 4,210.00, 4,246.47, 4,379.86

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 4210 recovery cap relieves downside pressure toward 4246 swing high
  • Failure to hold 4121 one-week low opens the path to the 4023 ytd low
  • S&P Global PMIs Tue 13:45 UTC and Thu Core PCE could materially shift this read

05:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stretched · RSI 43 · price 4,171.72

Lower highs and lower lows since early-month peak.

Gold remains in a clear H4 downtrend, lower highs and lower lows extending since the early-month top as a hawkish FOMC dot plot and USD at YTD highs strip the safe-haven bid. Price bounced off the 4121 one-week low but the move was capped near 4220 before rolling back to 4171. ATR(14) stays elevated, consistent with an expanding, trending phase rather than compression.

Support: 4,121.74, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,220.96, 4,300.00

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 4121.74 opens the path to the 4023 ytd low
  • Reclaim of 4220.96 needed to challenge the 4300 supply cluster
  • Waller speech 13:00 UTC and Tue S&P Global PMIs could shift the USD-driven read

Downtrend, momentum heavy · RSI 43 · price 4,171.72

Lower highs, lower lows since 4570.

Gold remains in a clear H4 downtrend, printing lower highs and lower lows from the 4570 area as the hawkish FOMC dot plot and USD at YTD highs strip the safe-haven bid. The latest bounce off 4136 stalled at 4220 and price closed back at 4171, leaving the rejection intact. ATR(14) stays elevated, consistent with a trending, expansion regime rather than compression.

Support: 4,120.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,220.00, 4,300.00

What it said to watch

  • Reclaim and close above 4220 would challenge the lower-high structure toward the 4300 cluster
  • Fed's Waller (13:00 UTC) and Tue S&P Global PMIs could materially shift this read

01:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum heavy · RSI 41 · price 4,147.96

Lower highs, lower lows; basing above weekly low.

Gold remains in a clear H4 downtrend, printing lower highs from the 4595 area down through 4382 as the hawkish FOMC dot-plot and YTD-high USD keep pressure on. Price is consolidating between the 4121 weekly low and the 4220 swing high after a bounce off the 4023 YTD low; ATR(14) stays elevated, consistent with an extending trend rather than compression. Both EMAs cap from above and momentum sits in the lower half of the RSI range.

Support: 4,121.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,220.00, 4,300.00

What it said to watch
