Lower highs from 4198; double bottom at 3976-3978 broke above 4030.
The lower-high sequence from 4198 delivered a breakdown through the 4104-4111 shelf to a three-month swing low at 3975.7, which was followed by a week-long 3976-4034 base that now reads as a double bottom. The oil-relief bounce cleared the range top at 4030 and is pressing the 38.2% retracement of the decline at 4061, just under the 4066 prior low and the EMA(50) near 4075. EMA(20) has turned up beneath price, and ATR(14) near 28 USD is easing from the selloff peak rather than compressing.
Support: 4,030.00, 4,000.00, 3,975.70
Resistance: 4,066.00, 4,092.00, 4,111.00
What it said to watch
H4 close above 4092 (fib 50%, TD's short-covering trigger) would break the lower-high sequence
Rejection at the 4066 prior low / EMA(50) zone keeps the move a corrective retracement
Slip back below the 4030 range top negates the double bottom breakout and reopens the 4000 psych and 3975.7 swing low
FOMC Wed 18:00 UTC and Warsh presser 18:30 UTC could materially shift this read
Thu 12:30 UTC core PCE is a second event risk; a reclaim of the 4111 breakdown shelf would be needed to repair the swing structure

Range breakdown, base 3975-4034, now retesting broken range floor.
Gold spent two weeks rotating inside a 4066-4227 range with lower highs at 4217 and 4199. It broke down through the range floor as the oil-driven Fed hike repricing hit. The slide based between the 3-month low at 3975.7 and 4034, and the latest bar has cleared that base high to close at 4064, right under the old range floor and through the fib 38.2% of the 4199-3976 leg. EMA20 is back below price, but EMA50 still sits overhead with the bearish cross intact. ATR(14) has eased from the breakdown expansion to roughly 28 points per bar.
Support: 4,034.26, 4,000.00, 3,975.70
Resistance: 4,087.20, 4,142.17
What it said to watch
H4 closes back above the 4066 range floor turn it from broken support into a reclaimed level, opening the fib 50% near 4087 and the 4092 short-cover trigger
Rejection at 4066 that sends price back below the 4034 base high returns the read to the 3975-4034 base
Failure to hold the 4000 psych handle exposes the 3975.7 3-month low; a break there extends the lower-low sequence
Recovery capped below the 4142 lower high keeps the lower-highs trendline from 4199 intact
FOMC Wed 18:00 UTC and Thursday core PCE could materially shift this read
Lower highs since 4227; 3976-4034 range after breakdown.
Gold printed a run of lower highs from 4227 to 4190. Supply then broke the multi-week floor at the 4066-4073 prior lows in a ~4% weekly slide, as oil-driven inflation fears pushed December Fed hike odds toward 80%. Since the 3975.7 three-month low, price has compressed into a 3976-4034 range beneath both EMAs. ATR(14) is easing back from breakdown levels, and the round number at 4000 is being defended on closing basis.
Support: 4,000.00, 3,975.70
Resistance: 4,034.26, 4,070.00, 4,108.33
What it said to watch
Fed decision Wed 18:00 UTC and Powell at 18:30 UTC could materially shift this read; Core PCE Thu 12:30 UTC follows
H4 close above the 4034 range top puts the lower-high trendline and 4070 prior lows (38.2% fib zone near 4058) in play
Break below the 3975.7 3m low extends the lower-low sequence out of the range
Reclaim of the 61.8% fib at 4108 would undo the breakdown structure, near TD's 4092 short-covering trigger
Multi-week range broken lower; tight 3976-4034 consolidation.
The multi-week 4066–4227 range gave way last week as oil-driven December hike bets pulled gold to a 3975.7 three-month low, with no haven bid. Since then price has compressed into a 3976–4034 band around the 4000 psych level. EMA20 sits below EMA50 and both are overhead, while ATR(14) has eased from the breakdown expansion.
Support: 4,000.00, 3,975.70
Resistance: 4,034.26, 4,066.81, 4,087.20
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 3975.7 3-month low extends the lower-low sequence
Recovery above the 4034.26 range high, then the 4066.81 prior low, brings the fib 50% near 4087 and the $4,092 short-covering area into play
Fed decision Wed 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read; Durable Goods and Consumer Confidence today may move yields beforehand
Lower highs since 4198.77, broke multi-week range floor; tight 3976-4034 base.
Lower highs from 4198.77 gave way last week when the multi-week range floor near 4067 (prior floor) broke, as the oil surge and firmer December hike pricing pushed gold to a 3-month low at 3975.7. Since then price has built a tight base between that low and the 4034 range top, with a shallow higher low at 3988.84 and the $4,000 psych level repeatedly reclaimed. EMA20 (~4032) sits on the range top and below EMA50, and ATR(14) near $27 is contracting from the breakdown leg, consistent with compression into the FOMC.
Support: 3,988.84, 3,975.70
Resistance: 4,034.26, 4,066.81, 4,087.20
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 4034 range top and EMA20 opens a retest of the prior floor at 4067, then the fib 50% near 4087
Failure to hold the 3988.84 higher low and $4,000 psych exposes the 3-month low at 3975.7; a close below it resumes the lower-low sequence
FOMC decision Wed Oct 28 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read in either direction
Oil and US-Iran headlines remain the dominant inverse driver for the $4,000 pivot

Downtrend, basing near the lows · RSI 39 · price 4,006.08
Range break lower, tight consolidation above 3-month low.
The multi-week 4066–4227 range gave way last week. A lower-high sequence from 4198 fed a roughly $215 leg down to the 3975.70 3-month low, as oil-driven Fed hike pricing hit gold. Since then price has compressed in a 3975–4034 base with slightly rising lows, holding the 4000 psych level but below both EMAs, with EMA20 under EMA50. ATR(14) has eased from the breakdown bars, consistent with consolidation into Wednesday's FOMC.
Support: 4,000.00, 3,975.70
Resistance: 4,034.26, 4,090.00
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 4034 base high opens the 38.2% fib near 4058 and the old range floor at 4066
Lower-high trendline near 4090, alongside the 4092 short-cover level, is the upper boundary of the downtrend read
Loss of the 4000 psych level and the rising lows, then a break of the 3975.70 3-month low, extends the lower-low sequence
Durable Goods today and the FOMC decision Wed 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read
