23:47 UTC

Gap-up open, momentum flat · RSI 61 · price 4,090.81

Tight consolidation after weekend gap.

Weekly reopen gapped up ~40 points from Friday's 4053 close to 4093, then coiled in a tight 4084–4094 band through thin Sunday/Asia liquidity (last bar volume just 63). RSI(14) mid-range and momentum flat; the unfilled gap sits below toward 4053.

Support: 4,084.00, 4,053.00

Resistance: 4,093.73, 4,100.00

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below 4084 opens the gap fill toward 4053
  • Close above 4093.73 session high exposes the 4100 round number
  • FOMC Jul 29 is the dominant catalyst that could reset this read

23:47 UTC

Gapped higher, consolidating · RSI 66 · price 4,090.81

Weekend gap up, tight early-session range.

Weekend reopen gapped gold roughly $40 higher to 4093 and price has since coiled in a tight 4084-4094 band through the Sunday open. Buyers defended 4084 twice while the session high at 4093.73 caps; the unfilled gap back toward 4053 remains open below.

Support: 4,084.00, 4,053.00

Resistance: 4,093.73, 4,100.00

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below 4084 opens the path back toward the 4053 gap origin
  • Break and hold above 4093.73 exposes the 4100 psych level
  • FOMC (Jul 29) is the dominant catalyst and can override this intraday read

23:32 UTC

Gap-up open, consolidating · RSI 76 · price 4,085.05

Range after weekend gap higher.

Gold gapped up roughly $40 into the new session, opening near 4093 from a prior 4053 close, then settled into a tight 4083.75–4093.73 range. RSI(14) reads hot at ~76, largely a mechanical artefact of the gap rather than fresh momentum; ATR is distorted by the same jump.

Support: 4,083.75, 4,053.00

Resistance: 4,093.73, 4,100.00

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 4093.73 opens the path to 4100
  • Loss of 4083.75 exposes the gap edge back toward 4053
  • FOMC (Jul 29) is the dominant catalyst and can reset this read

Gold gapped up roughly $40 over the weekend to a session high at 4093.70 and has since coiled in a tight 4084-4093 band. Price is holding above both EMAs with RSI(14) cooling from the gap spike; buyers defended 4084 twice into the current bar.

Support: 4,084.00, 4,067.00

Resistance: 4,093.70, 4,100.00

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below 4084 opens the path to 4067
  • Close above 4093.70 exposes the 4100 psych level
  • FOMC Jul 29 is the dominant catalyst and could reset this read

Gap-up open, pulling back · RSI 56 · price 4,085.18

Post-gap range building near session low.

Gold reopened with a ~$40 weekend gap up from Friday's 4053 close into thin Sunday liquidity, printing a session high at 4093.73 before drifting back to the 4084 session low. Price now consolidating in the upper half of the new range, gap toward 4053 still open below.

Support: 4,084.00, 4,053.00

Resistance: 4,093.73, 4,100.00

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold 4084 opens the path toward the 4053 gap fill
  • M15 close above 4093.73 extends the post-gap move toward 4100
  • FOMC (Jul 29) is the dominant catalyst and could reset this read

23:17 UTC

Support: 4,084.03, 4,053.00

  • FOMC Jul 29 is the dominant catalyst and could reset this read

23:03 UTC

Gap-driven push higher, now consolidating · RSI 63 · price 4,090.51

Weekend gap up, tight range holding above 4084.

Gold gapped up over the weekend from ~4053 to 4093 on the firmer safe-haven/oil-inflation crosscurrents, and is now consolidating in a tight 4084–4094 band. RSI(14) around 63, no momentum extreme; the session high at 4093.73 is capping while 4084 holds as the post-gap floor.

Support: 4,084.03, 4,053.00

Resistance: 4,093.73, 4,100.00

What it said to watch

Uptrend after weekend gap, momentum flattening · RSI 62 · price 4,090.51

Consolidation above the gap open.

Gold gapped up over the weekend from Friday's ~4053 close to ~4093 and has since coiled in a tight 4084-4093.73 band. Price holds above both EMAs but the post-gap range is undeveloped and momentum has flattened into thin liquidity.

Support: 4,084.03, 4,053.00

  • FOMC Jul 29 is the dominant catalyst and can override this read

22:47 UTC

Gap-driven push higher, overextended · RSI 82 · price 4,090.98

Gap up, tight consolidation above prior range.

Gold gapped up to open the session near 4088 from a 4053 close, jumping clear of the prior 4050s range and dragging RSI(14) above 80. Price is now coiling in a tight 4086–4093 band with the gap unfilled; the elevated ATR reflects that opening jump, not fresh intraday range.

Support: 4,086.47, 4,053.00

Resistance: 4,093.66, 4,100.00

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below 4086.47 opens the gap fill toward 4053
  • Close above 4093.66 extends the gap-up move toward 4100 psych

Weekend gap up, unfilled gap below price.

XAUUSD opened the new week with a sharp gap up from the 4053 pre-weekend close to a session high of 4093.66, then eased back to 4086 — the oil-led/higher-yields repricing feeding two-way flow into FOMC. A large unfilled gap sits between 4053 and the 4085.74 gap low; RSI(14) near 67 is elevated but not extreme.

Support: 4,085.74, 4,052.95

Resistance: 4,093.66

What it said to watch

  • Loss of the 4085.74 gap low exposes the gap fill toward 4053
  • Reclaim and close above 4093.66 extends the session high
  • FOMC (Jul 29) is the dominant catalyst and can override this intraday read

22:32 UTC

Gapped above prior week's range, holding gains.

New session opened with a weekend gap higher to ~4088, roughly $40 above Friday's 4053 close, and price is now consolidating in a tight 4084-4094 band. ATR is distorted by the gap; the open gap toward 4053 remains unfilled.

Support: 4,084.03, 4,053.00

Resistance: 4,093.66

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below 4084 opens the path to a gap fill toward 4053

22:03 UTC

Pullback after rally, momentum fading · RSI 44 · price 4,052.95

Lower highs off 4082, holding 4049 pivot.

Gold pushed to a 4082 session high during NY hours then rolled over, printing lower highs into 4052 as oil-led yield firmness capped the bid. Price now sits mid-retracement of the 4022-4082 leg, hemmed between the 4049 pivot and 4058 minor resistance.

Support: 4,049.00, 4,040.00, 4,022.00

Gold rejected the session high at 4082 during NY hours and has bled back into the 4050 pivot flagged as the current fulcrum, printing lower highs on the way down. Price is now coiling in a tight 4049-4058 band, sitting at the 50% retrace of the 4023-4082 up-move with RSI(14) neutral near 45.

Support: 4,049.25, 4,040.00

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below 4049 opens the 4040 pivot
