Weekend gap lower; Asia session making lower highs above Friday's low.
Gold opened the week about $15 below Friday's 4286.06 close and has printed lower highs through the first two hours of the Asia session. Price is pressing the 4257.48 session low, just above the 4254.56 Friday low. RSI(14) sits near 27 and price is below both EMAs, with 10y yields above 5% still the weight cited in the digest.

Resistance: 4,275.16, 4,286.06, 4,300.30
What it said to watch
A close below the 4254.56 Friday low extends the lower-low chain toward the 4245–4230 area flagged in the digest
Recovery through the session lower-highs line and the 4275.16 session high neutralises the Asia downtrend read
Gap fill to 4286.06 would put the psych 4300 level and Friday's NY high back in play

Gap-down open, lower highs through early Asia, holding above 4254.56.
Gold opened the week with a ~$15 gap down, from Friday's 4286.06 close to 4271. It has printed lower highs through the early Asia session, with the asia low at 4257.48 sitting just above the 4254.56 friday low. Price is back below the 78.6% level of Friday's NY rebound from 4254.56 to 4300.30, and RSI(14) is near 28 with no fresh weekend flow; 10y yields above 5% remain the backdrop.
Support: 4,257.48, 4,254.56, 4,230.00
Resistance: 4,266.23, 4,275.16, 4,286.06

Reclaim of the 4275.16 open high puts the gap fill at 4286.06 back in view

Downside pressure after weekend gap · RSI 32 · price 4,264.68
Gap down, lower lows in early Asia.
The week opened with a gap down from Friday's 4286.06 close. The open high at 4275.16 capped early Asia, which pressed to a 4257.48 sunday low just above the 4254.56 friday low; price sits near the 78.6% of Friday's NY rebound with RSI(14) near 32. No fresh weekend flow: 10y yields above 5% and roughly 70% October hike odds keep gold heavy below 4300.

Resistance: 4,275.16, 4,286.06, 4,300.30

Reclaiming the 4275.16 open high starts a gap fill toward 4286.06
Close back above the 4300.30 ny high negates the gap-down read
Tue JOLTS and Fedspeak, then Wed ADP/PCE, are the next scheduled catalysts; none are due in the coming hours
Lower highs and lower lows since Asia open, gap below Friday close unfilled.
Early Asia session opened with a ~$15 gap below Friday's 4286.06 close. Price has since stepped lower under a line of falling session highs toward the 4254.56 friday low, and has retraced nearly all of Friday's bounce. RSI(14) is near 32, not yet extreme. Weekend flow is absent, and the digest keeps 10y yields above 5% and October hike odds as the backdrop capping gold.
Support: 4,254.56, 4,230.00
Resistance: 4,275.16, 4,286.06, 4,300.00

M15 close below the 4254.56 friday low extends the lower-low chain and brings the digest's 4230 floor into view
Recovery through the 4275.16 session high breaks the session-highs sequence; a move to 4286.06 friday close fills the gap
4300 pivot remains the upper cap of Friday's range
Tue JOLTS and Fedspeak (Musalem, Goolsbee, Williams), then Wed ADP/PCE, are the next scheduled catalysts; thin Asia liquidity until then

Downtrend after weekend gap lower · RSI 30 · price 4,259.80
Gap-down Asia open, lower closes, pressing Friday low.
Gold gapped about $15 lower at the Asia open from Friday's 4286 close and has posted lower closes to 4259.8, with RSI(14) near 30. Friday's NY rebound from the 4254.5 friday low to the 4300 round number is now more than 78.6% retraced. The digest links the pressure to US 10y yields holding above 5% and to October hike pricing.

Gapped lower at the open, below both EMAs · RSI 35 · price 4,266.70
Weekly open gap under Friday close, holding above Friday low.
Gold opened the Asia session roughly $15 below Friday's 4286.06 close, carrying over the heavy tone tied to the 10y yield holding above 5%. The first three bars are coiling between the 4265.94 gap low and the 4275.16 open high. That range sits near the 78.6% retracement of Friday's NY rebound from 4254.56 to the 4300 pivot.
Support: 4,265.94, 4,254.56
Resistance: 4,275.16, 4,286.06, 4,300.30

The 4300 pivot capped Friday's NY rebound; a reclaim would invalidate the heavy read
Thin post-gap Asia liquidity; no scheduled US data in the next 8h, with Tue JOLTS and Fedspeak the next catalysts
Gap below Friday's 4279.6–4297.2 late range, testing prior low.
Weekly open gapped about $20 below Friday's 4286.06 close. The first Asia bar sold to 4265.94, just above the 4264.37 prior low and near the 78.6% level of the Friday rally fib (4254.56–4300.30), with RSI(14) at 36 and price under both EMAs. The weekend brought no fresh flow; the digest's 10y-above-5% backdrop fits the soft open.
Support: 4,264.37, 4,254.56
Resistance: 4,275.16, 4,286.06, 4,300.30
What it said to watch
Staying below the 4275.16 open high keeps the gap-down read intact; a reclaim brings the 4286.06 gap fill into view
A close below the 4264.37 prior low exposes the 4254.56 friday low, then the $4,230 floor flagged in the digest
Recovery back through the 4300.30 ny high would negate the downside read from Friday's range
Early-Asia liquidity is thin after the gap; the next scheduled catalysts are Tue JOLTS/Fedspeak and Wed ADP/PCE

Range after NY whipsaw, momentum neutral · RSI 49 · price 4,286.06
Lower highs from 4315.7; range 4279.5–4300 into Friday close.
The NY session swept the Asian low at 4256 to a 4254.56 day low, then rebounded into a rejection at psych 4300. Friday's oil slide eased USD pressure, but 10y yields above 5% kept rallies capped. Gold closed the week at 4286, mid-range between the 4279.5 range low and 4300, still under the lower-highs line from the 4315.7 day high, with RSI(14) neutral near 49.

Loss of the 4279.5 range low exposes the 4270 swing low, then the 4254.56 day low
The Monday Asia session reopen may gap on weekend headlines; Tue JOLTS/Fedspeak and Wed ADP/PCE are the next scheduled drivers

Sideways, momentum fading into weekly close · RSI 48 · price 4,286.06
Lower highs under 4300, back inside Asian range after low sweep.
London's push to the 4315.66 session high unwound in NY. The drop swept the Asian low to a 4254.56 session low, then recovered to the 61.8% fib near the 4297 NY highs, under psych 4300. The week closed fading to a late low around 4284.5, near the 50% retrace, with RSI(14) near 48. Friday's oil-led USD dip lent support, but 10y yields above 5% kept rallies capped below 4300.
Support: 4,284.50, 4,279.50, 4,254.56
Resistance: 4,297.20, 4,300.30, 4,315.66
What it said to watch
Close below the 4279.5 swing low reopens the 4254.56 session low
Break of the lower-highs line through the 4297 NY highs and psych 4300 exposes the 4315.66 session high
Holding the 4284.5 late low keeps price pinned near the 50% fib of the NY selloff
Weekend gap risk at Asia reopen; Tue JOLTS/Fedspeak and Wed ADP/PCE could materially shift this read
Range 4279.5–4300 after NY V-rebound off 4254.56, lower highs into the weekly close.
Friday's NY session swept the Asian low near 4256 to set the 4254.56 day low, then snapped back to the 4300.30 NY high. Since then gold has compressed between the 4279.5 swing low and a 4297.22 lower high, holding above the 38.2% of the NY rebound fib. RSI(14) sits flat near 48 and price is just under both EMAs, consistent with the digest's read of 10y yields above 5% capping rallies below 4300.
Support: 4,279.50, 4,270.02, 4,254.56
Resistance: 4,297.22, 4,300.30, 4,315.66
What it said to watch
Weekend gap at the reopen: a break below the 4279.5 swing low exposes the 4270 rebound low (near the 61.8% of the NY rebound fib) and the 4254.56 day low
An M15 close above the 4297.22 lower high and the 4300.3 NY high breaks the lower-highs line and reopens the 4315.66 London day high
Tue JOLTS and Fed speakers, then Wed ADP/PCE, could materially shift this read

Range after two-way Friday session · RSI 48 · price 4,286.06
Lower highs 4315.66 → 4300.30, NY range 4279.5–4300 into close.
London's 4315.66 high was rejected, and NY swept the Asian low to the 4254.56 ny low before rebounding to 4300.30. Friday closed mid-range at 4286, about a third back into the ny rebound fib, between the 4279.5 range low and the 4300 range top, with RSI(14) flat near 48. Supply at $4,300 fits the digest's read that 10y yields above 5% capped rallies even as oil's slide eased the USD.

Resistance: 4,300.30, 4,315.66
What it said to watch
M15 close above the 4300.30 range top breaks the lower-highs line and reopens the 4315.66 london high
Failure to hold the 4279.5 range low puts the 4254.56 ny low back in play; a break below 4277 also clears the 50% of the ny rebound fib
The weekly reopen can gap away from the 4286 close and reset the range read
Tue JOLTS and Fed speakers, then Wed ADP/PCE, could materially shift this read
