23:01 UTC
Downtrend resuming after pullback · RSI 38 · price 4,513.18
Lower highs from 4580 cap, breaking back below 4520 pivot.
Gold has rolled back over after last session's push to 4580 was rejected, with the Hormuz-driven USD bid noted in headlines coinciding with a clean break of the 4520 pivot during NY hours. Price now sits below both EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI at 38, and the recovery into 4513 looks corrective rather than impulsive against the week's lower-high sequence. The 4490 session low and 4482 swing low are the immediate structural references below.
Support: 4,490.00
Resistance: 4,520.00, 4,545.00, 4,580.00
What it said to watch
H1 close back above 4520 broken pivot neutralises the lower-high read
Break of 4482 swing low extends the downtrend toward 4470
Reclaim of ema20 near 4545 would invalidate the bearish structure

Pullback within broader range · RSI 36 · price 4,507.49
Rejection from 4580, lower highs into NY close.
Gold rolled over from the 4580 week high after Kashkari's hawkish remarks and a stronger USD into the Hormuz headlines, slicing through EMA20 and EMA50 during the NY session. RSI(14) at 36 with price pressing the 4490 session low — sellers in control on H1, with each bounce capped by lower highs into 4540. Bar at 4507 sits mid-range between the 4482 swing low and 4540 prior high.
Support: 4,490.15
Resistance: 4,580.42

H1 close below 4482 swing low confirms continuation lower
Reclaim of 4540 prior high neutralises the lower-highs sequence

Rolling over from week highs · RSI 35 · price 4,507.49
Lower high printed, testing week range lows.
Gold rolled over through the NY session after tagging 4580 week high, with the Hormuz-driven USD bid taking price back below 4540 ema20 and through the 4520 pivot. Sellers extended into late NY, printing a session low at 4482.68 before a shallow bounce back to 4507; a lower high against Monday's 4580 leaves the week range tilted south. RSI(14) at ~35 with price making fresh lows shows early bullish divergence but no structural reclaim yet.
Support: 4,500.00, 4,482.68
Resistance: 4,580.42
What it said to watch
H1 close back above 4540 ema20 would neutralise the lower-high read
Loss of 4482 session low opens path to a deeper leg below psych 4500
Further USD haven demand on Mideast headlines could extend the sell-off
20:01 UTC
Pullback within broader uptrend · RSI 33 · price 4,509.47
Lower highs from 4580 swing.
Gold rolled over from the 4580 week high into the NY session, breaking below 4520 support and the EMA(20) on a Hormuz-driven dollar bid. Sellers have pushed price to a 4482 swing low with RSI(14) extended at 32, and the 4500 psych level is now acting as immediate pivot after a shallow bounce off the lows.
Support: 4,500.00
Resistance: 4,580.42
What it said to watch
H1 close back above 4540 prior pivot would neutralise the pullback
Loss of 4482 swing low opens path toward 4460s
Further Middle East headlines could re-accelerate the USD bid

Downtrend re-emerging from mid-range · RSI 32 · price 4,497.85
Lower highs since Friday peak, breaking through week's mid-range.
Gold rolled over from Monday's 4580 week high and has trended down through the NY session, breaking the 4520 shelf that capped earlier this week. Last bar prints 4497 with RSI(14) near 32 and price extended below EMA(20), so the leg is stretched but momentum still favours sellers. Week low at 4467 remains the structural target if 4490 fails to hold.
Support: 4,490.00, 4,467.15
Resistance: 4,520.00, 4,580.40
What it said to watch
H1 close back above 4520 ema20 would neutralise the lower-high sequence
loss of 4482 swing low opens path to 4467 week low
RSI below 30 with price holding 4490 would set up bullish divergence
18:01 UTC
Uptrend stalling, rolling over · RSI 31 · price 4,491.66
Lower highs after midweek peak.
Gold pushed to a week high near 4580 early in yesterday's session before stalling and rolling over through NY hours, with price now slicing back below the prior week's 4500 psych level. Two attempts at 4577-4580 capped supply, and the rejection has carried RSI(14) into the low 30s with EMA(20) flipping overhead near 4540. Softer US Consumer Confidence and a dip in Treasury yields haven't put a floor under the move.
Support: 4,482.09, 4,500.00
Resistance: 4,580.42
What it said to watch
H1 close below 4482 week low confirms a lower low
Reclaim of 4540 ema20 needed to neutralise the rejection
Oversold RSI raises odds of a corrective bounce into 4500 psych
Gold rejected 4580 on Monday's NY session and has worked steadily lower, printing lower highs into today's London session with price now testing the 4500 psych level. EMA20 around 4540 capped the most recent bounce, confirming the short-term shift after last week's surge. Reuters flagged a USD/oil rebound on renewed US-Iran strikes as the catalyst for the slide from the 4580 intraday high.
Support: 4,500.00, 4,488.70
Resistance: 4,540.00, 4,580.42

Pullback within broader uptrend · RSI 38 · price 4,507.23
Lower highs since 4580 rejection.
Gold rejected 4580 in the NY session and has worked steadily lower, printing a sequence of lower highs through 4540 into the current 4507 area. Price is now back at the 4500 psych zone with RSI(14) at 38 — the soft Conference Board print and renewed US-Iran escalation headlines drove the intraday reversal. EMA20 sits overhead near 4520, capping the most recent bounce attempt.

Pullback within broader uptrend · RSI 39 · price 4,514.68
Lower highs since Monday peak, holding above 4500.
Gold has rolled over from the 4580 week high after Tuesday's NY session sold the metal back through the EMA20, with the FXStreet note citing a renewed USD bid on Iran-strike headlines. Price is now grinding along the 4500 psych level after two failed pushes back toward 4540, leaving a sequence of lower highs through the NY afternoon. RSI(14) sits in the high 30s and has flattened despite the latest leg lower, a tentative bullish divergence read.
