23:47 UTC

Intraday downtrend, basing in a range · RSI 42 · price 4,137.07

Lower highs from 4170.34; 4125–4145 range since NY low.

Monday's London high at 4170.3 gave way in the NY session as the 10Y yield pushed to 5.34% and USD made a fresh YTD high. A sweep of the earlier Asian low printed the 4123.3 day low and was reclaimed, but buyers held only the NY lows near 4125.5. Early Tuesday Asian session capped at the 4145.3 Asian high, below the 4148.3 lower high, and price is now drifting onto the 4136.5 session low, under EMA20/50 with RSI(14) near 42.

Support: 4,136.50, 4,125.50, 4,123.30

Resistance: 4,145.30, 4,148.30, 4,170.30

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 4136.5 session low puts the 4125.5 NY lows and 4123.3 day low back in play
  • M15 close above the 4145.3 Asian high and 4148.3 lower high clears the 50% fib of the London-NY drop and breaks the lower-high sequence
  • London high at 4170.3 caps the day; the lower-high read holds while price stays below it
  • ADP 12:15 UTC, then Williams 13:05 and Bowman 14:45 UTC Tuesday, with the 10Y vs 5.34%, could shift this read

23:32 UTC

Intraday downtrend, flat since NY low · RSI 47 · price 4,139.25

Tight post-NY range 4137.5–4145.3 after lower high from 4170.

Gold rolled over from the 4170.34 London high, then swept the Asian low into a 4123.30 day low during NY hours as 10y yields held near 5.34% and ISM prices paid hit 74. The bounce has stalled in a 4137.5–4145.3 range through the daily close and into early Asia, near the 38.2% of the recovery fib off the day low, with RSI(14) neutral at 47.

Support: 4,137.45, 4,123.30

Resistance: 4,145.29, 4,148.33

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 4137.5 range low reopens the 4123–4125 day low
  • Acceptance above the 4145.3 range high and 4148.3 ny swing hi breaks the post-NY lower-high sequence
  • Fed's Williams (13:05 UTC) and Bowman speak Tuesday; a hawkish lean with yields near 5.34% could materially shift this read

23:18 UTC

Intraday downtrend from London high, flattening · RSI 44 · price 4,138.53

Lower highs since the 4170.34 London high; tight 4137–4145 range into early Asia.

NY hours flushed gold from 4166 to a 4123.30 day low as the 10y yield held near 5.34% and ISM prices paid printed 74. The rebound stalled at the 50% fib of that drop. Tuesday's Asia session opened with a rejection at the 4145.29 asia high, and price is now pressing the 4137.45 late ny low with RSI(14) near 44.

Support: 4,137.45, 4,133.68, 4,123.30

Resistance: 4,145.29, 4,148.33, 4,150.00

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 4137.45 late ny low breaks the range floor and exposes the 4133.68 higher low
  • Failure at 4133.68 leaves the 4123.30 day low, with the digest's $4,110 two-month low beyond
  • Close above the 4145.29 asia high, then the 4148.33 lower high and 4150 psych, reclaims the 61.8% fib and invalidates the lower-high read
  • Fed's Williams (13:05 UTC) and Bowman (14:45 UTC) Tuesday could shift this read via the 10y yield

23:05 UTC

Down from London high, recovery stalling · RSI 54 · price 4,140.78

Tight 4137–4145 range after NY low sweep.

London's break above the Asian high failed at 4170.34. NY reversed it as US 10y yields held near 5.34% and ISM prices paid hit 74, sweeping the Asian low to a 4123.30 day low that was quickly reclaimed. The recovery has compressed into a 4137–4145 band near the 38.2% fib of that drop, and early Asia is slipping under the rising line off the NY lows.

Support: 4,137.45, 4,123.30

Resistance: 4,145.29, 4,152.37

What it said to watch

  • Close back above the 4145.29 session high opens the 50% and 61.8% fib at 4146.82–4152.37
  • Failure to hold the 4137.45 swing low puts the 4123.30 day low back in play
  • Fed's Williams (13:05 UTC) and Bowman (14:45 UTC) on Tuesday could shift yields and this read

22:48 UTC

Down from London high, grinding recovery · RSI 61 · price 4,143.67

Higher lows off 4123 day low, mid-range of 4123–4170.

The 4170.34 London high gave way to an NY-session slide to the 4123.30 day low as yields and the USD firmed after ISM Prices Paid hit 74. Higher lows since then, from 4125.56 to 4137.45, have lifted price to 4143.67 in early Asia session, just under the 4145.29 asia high. That sits between the 38.2% and 50% retracement of the London-NY drop, with RSI(14) near 61 and EMA50 flattening just below price.

Support: 4,137.45, 4,133.68, 4,123.30

Resistance: 4,145.29, 4,148.33, 4,153.04

  • Fed's Williams 13:05 UTC and Bowman 14:45 UTC Tue, with yields near 5.34%, could materially shift this read

Recovering off NY low, stalling under 4144 · RSI 56 · price 4,143.13

Higher lows off the 4123 sweep, compressing 4137–4144.

NY swept the Asian low to a 4123.3 day low as ISM prices paid at 74 fed yield fears. Price then built higher lows into a tight 4137–4144 consolidation that has carried into early Asia. It now sits between the 38.2% and 50% fib of the 4170–4123 drop, pressing the 4144 range top where EMA50 converges, with RSI(14) ~56 and ATR(14) ~470 pips.

Support: 4,137.50, 4,133.70, 4,123.30

Resistance: 4,144.40, 4,148.30, 4,152.40

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 4144 range top exposes the 4148.3 swing high and the fib 61.8 at 4152.4
  • Loss of the 4137.5 range base and the 4133.7 higher low reopens the 4123.3 day low
  • Tuesday ADP (12:15 UTC), Williams (13:05 UTC) and Bowman (14:45 UTC) could shift yields and this read

London high 4170.34 rejected, NY low 4123.30; higher lows since, compressing 4137–4144.

Monday's London rally was rejected at 4170.34, and NY sold off to a 4123.30 day low as the US 10y yield pushed toward 5.34% and ISM prices paid at 74 kept hike odds alive. Higher lows since then have retraced to the 38.2% fib of the NY sell-off near 4141. The new Asia session opened with a 4144.42 session high, and price is coiled in a 4137–4144 range under EMA50.

Support: 4,137.45, 4,123.30

Resistance: 4,144.42, 4,148.33, 4,163.16

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 4148.33 swing high clears the 50% fib (4146.8) and opens 4152 (61.8%), with the 4163.16 asian high beyond
  • Break of the higher-lows line and the 4137.45 range low exposes the 4123.30 day low
  • Asia session tends to be thin; range edges at 4137.45 and the 4144.42 session high are the near-term markers
  • Fed's Williams (13:05 UTC) and Bowman (14:45 UTC) on Tuesday could move yields and shift this read

Down from London high, basing in late NY · RSI 57 · price 4,140.38

Higher lows off day low, capped under 4144 late high.

The London high at 4170.34 gave way in NY as 10y yields pressed ~5.34% and ISM prices paid printed 74. The 15:15 UTC sweep of the Asian low to the 4123.30 day low recovered, and price is now compressing on rising lows into the 38.2% retrace and the 4144.07 late high in thin end-of-session trade.

Intraday downtrend, basing after NY low · RSI 54 · price 4,140.38

Higher lows compressing under 4144 after sweep of 4123.

NY hours unwound London's 4166–4170 range to a 4123.30 day low as ISM Prices Paid at 74 and a ~5.34% 10y weighed. That wick was swept and reclaimed, and late-NY has printed a higher low at 4137.45 under a 4144 range top, near the 38.2%–50% retrace zone of the NY drop. Price is sitting just under EMA50, with the ism high at 4148.33 above.

Lower highs from 4170; post-sweep bounce stalled at 38.2%.

Gold failed at 4170 in early London. It then made a lower high at 4166.31 and broke lower from the NY open as yields firmed and ISM prices paid at 74 kept hike odds alive. The 15:15 UTC spike to the 4123.30 day low swept the Asian low at 4124.64 and was rejected. Since then, rising lows from the NY low shelf have lifted price to the 38.2% retrace, where it is drifting just under the 50% fib at 4144.8 in thin late-NY trade.

A brief false break under the 4124.6 Asian low held at the 4123.3 day low twice. Late NY has since built a higher low chain into the 38.2% retrace near 4141, with the swing high at 4144.1 and the pivot high at 4148.3 directly overhead.

London's push to the 4170.3 london high failed.

London's break above the Asian high to the 4170.3 london high failed, and NY sold through the ISM release as Prices Paid at 74 kept yields sticky. The drop swept the Asian low to a 4123.3 day low before reclaiming it, and a 4125.6 higher low followed. Late-NY bounce capped at the 4141.7 bounce high, near the 38.2% fib, under the lower-highs line and both EMAs with RSI(14) at 39.

Lower highs since NY open; session low swept and held, tight base above it.

London's 4170.34 high gave way at NY open, and price fell through the Asian range low after ISM Services prices paid at 74 kept yields firm. The sweep to the 4123.30 session low was reclaimed, but lower highs at the 4148.30 NY high and 4133.22 recent high keep the drop intact. Price sits only about 19% into the London-NY drop retracement.

Intraday downtrend, momentum flattening near lows · RSI 38 · price 4,128.85

Lower highs from the London high at 4170.3; Asian low swept, price compressing above the session low.

NY session unwound the London rally from the 4170.3 London high. ISM Services prices paid at 74 kept yields firm, and lower highs have stepped down since. The sweep of the 4124.6 Asian low to a 4123.3 session low was briefly reclaimed, but price is now compressing at 4125–4133, capped by the minor high, with RSI(14) near 38.

NY reversed the London high; lower highs pressing a 4123–4126 base.

NY open turned London's push to the 4170.34 london high into a $47 London-NY drop. The 15:15 UTC sweep of the Asian low (4124.64) to a 4123.30 session low snapped back, but rebounds stalled at the 4148.33 ny high as ISM Prices Paid at 74 and a YTD-high USD kept yields in charge. After London close, ny lower highs at 4140.94 and 4132.93 are compressing price into a flat 4123–4126 base, with RSI(14) near 38 and price below both EMAs.

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since London · RSI 41 · price 4,131.22

Failed London break of the Asian high; NY unwound the move and probed below the Asian low.

London cleared the 4124–4163 Asian range high to a 4170 session high and failed there. NY then unwound the move after ISM Prices Paid jumped to 74 with the USD at YTD highs, and a 4123 sweep low below the Asian range was rejected. Lower highs still cap the tape, and price is grinding near the 4126 swing low late in the NY session, below both EMAs.

Downtrend from London high, momentum fading near lows · RSI 36 · price 4,130.31

Lower highs since 4170.34; 4123.30 session low swept and reclaimed, price drifting back toward it late NY.

London's push to the 4170.30 day high gave way in NY. Gold slid as the 74 ISM Prices Paid print and a YTD-high USD kept yields firm, and the 4123.30 session low swept the Asian low before bouncing. Each NY rebound has printed a lower high, with the ny high at 4148.30 near the 50% fib and the latest lower high at 4140.90. Price is now grinding along the descending trendline at 4130 with RSI(14) near 36 and an ATR of about 890 pips ($8.9).

Lower highs from London-open peak; Asian low swept, now retesting it.

Gold printed its session high at 4170.34 at the London open, then put in a run of lower highs into the NY session. The 4140.9 bounce high and the 4148.3 lower high now sit overhead. The USD at a YTD high and a jump in ISM Prices Paid to 74 fed the NY selloff, which swept the Asian low to the 4123.30 sweep low. After London close, price has drifted back to retest that low, with RSI(14) near 31.

NY session unwound the London high at 4170.34 with a run of lower highs capped at the 4148.33 lower high, as the USD printed a fresh YTD high and ISM Prices Paid at 74 kept the yield headwind in place. The 15:15 UTC sweep of the Asian low to the 4123.30 day low was rejected back to the minor high at 4140.94, but price is again pressing 4130 with RSI(14) near 33.

Lower highs off 4170 London high; NY range 4123–4148 after Asian-low sweep.

Gold rolled over from the 4170.34 London high. The NY open drop broke through 4140 as the USD printed fresh YTD highs, and ISM Prices Paid at 74 kept yields firm. After London close, price is boxed between the 4123.30 sweep low and the 4148.33 NY high, below both EMAs with RSI(14) near 36. The 15:15 UTC dip swept the Asian low at 4124.64 and was reclaimed, while the NY swing low at 4131.46 is the nearer pivot.

Lower highs from London high, NY sweep of Asian low reclaimed.

NY session unwound London's push to the 4170.3 london high. The slide began in the first hour of NY and ran through ISM, with Prices Paid at 74 keeping the yield headwind on, before a wick to the 4123.3 session low swept the 4124.6 Asian low and closed back above it. Lower highs at 4166.3 and 4148.3 have capped the bounce near the 50% retrace of the drop, price is back near the 4131.5 swing low, and RSI(14) is near 33.

Gold has printed lower highs since the 4170.34 london high, with the 4166.31 lower high marking the last failed push. Price slid to a 4131.46 ny low as the USD held YTD highs and ISM Prices Paid at 74 kept yields firm. The post-ISM bounce met rejection at the 4148.33 ny high inside the fib 38.2–50% zone, and price is back near 4137, still above the 4124.64 asian low.

The 14:00 UTC ISM bar spiked to 4147.17 and faded, which is a rejection at that level.

London set the session high at 4170.3, just above the Asian range top. Rejection there produced lower highs at 4168.6 and 4166.3, and the break of the 4147.1 broken low into NY hours drove price to a 4131.5 NY low, beyond the 61.8% of the Asian-London leg.

4151–4170 London range above the Asian high pivot, lower highs at the top.

Gold rallied from the 4124.64 Asian low, and London broke the 4163.16 Asian high to set a 4170.34 London high. Lower highs at 4170/4168.6 have since capped a 4151–4170 range, and the 11:45 UTC dip held the 4151.06 swing low near the 38.2% fib of the Asian-London leg. Price sits on the Asian high pivot into NY with RSI(14) neutral near 52, while a firm USD and near-record yields cap the bounce from two-month lows.

London pushed above the Asian high, repeated rejection at 4168–4170, lower low at 4151.

Gold bounced off the 4124.64 Monday low, which held at Friday's post-NFP low, and London cleared the 4163 Asian high to tag the 4170 London high. Three tests of 4168–4170 have been rejected, and the late-London drop set a 4151 pullback low near the 38.2% retracement of the Asia-London leg. Price is now pinned mid-range below EMA20 with RSI(14) near 42, as a YTD-high USD and elevated yields keep the upside capped.

Gold swept Friday's 4125 low late in the Asia session at 4124.64, then London lifted it through the asian high to a 4170.34 session high. The 11:30 UTC rejection at 4168.6 dropped price back below the asian high. The swing low at 4151 has held since, with RSI(14) near 46 into ISM Services.

London pushed through the Asian high at 4163.2 to a 4170.3 session high. It was rejected there four times, and the 11:30 UTC bar dropped $12 to the 4155.7 neckline, which is also the 38.2% fib of the 4124.6–4170.3 rally. RSI(14) is near 42, price is below the EMA20 and sitting on the EMA50, with gold still capped by firm USD and yields ahead of ISM Services.

Monday's Asian session set a double bottom near 4125 against Friday's post-NFP low. London then cleared the 4163.2 Asian high but was rejected three times just under the 4170.3 session high. Price is back on EMA20 at the 4155.7 London low with RSI(14) neutral near 51, and the digest still points to elevated yields and a YTD-high USD capping gold rallies.

Supply capped that move with the USD at YTD highs, and price has slipped back below the asian high with RSI(14) cooling to ~55; the swing low at 4147.82 sits on the 50% fib of the 4124–4170 leg.

Price is now consolidating between the 4147 pullback low and that high, still inside the Asian range and capped by the 4163.16 Asian high, as the USD haven bid offsets softer yields.

Intraday recovery, pressing upper Asian range · RSI 59 · price 4,155.83

Double bottom near 4125, higher low at 4130, capped below 4163 Asian high.

Demand held the Asian low at 4124.64, matching Friday's post-NFP 4125 low for a double bottom. A higher low at 4130 followed, and a 06:00 UTC thrust carried gold back through the 4140.8 prior cap into the upper half of the Asian range. The first London session high at 4158.58 is capping for now, just under the 4163.16 Asian high, with softer US yields cushioning gold while the USD holds its haven bid.

London open finds gold at 4152, in the upper half of the 4124.64–4163.16 Asian range. The 06:00 UTC impulse launched from a higher low at 4130.36 after Asia's 4124.64 double bottom with Friday's post-NFP low, and price is holding above the 61.8% fib at 4148.45. Supply is capping at the 06:15 high of 4155.86, RSI(14) neutral near 56.

Intraday recovery after sweep, mid-range · RSI 56 · price 4,151.49

Higher low off swept Friday low, 4140.8 cap broken.

Asia session faded an early push to the 4163 asian high, then swept Friday's 4125 low to an asian low of 4124.64 before reversing, even with USD firm on safe-haven flows. The 06:00 UTC bar cleared the 4140.8 breakout lvl, and price holds near 4151 into the London open. RSI(14) sits near 56, mid-range, and the 4155.86 bounce high is the nearest cap.

Two-way range, sharp rebound off sweep low · RSI 60 · price 4,153.56

Sweep of Friday low, then higher low at 4130.36 and break of 4140.8 cap; inside Asian range.

Asia swept Friday's post-NFP low at 4125.22, printing an asian low at 4124.64. The 06:00 UTC impulse then cleared the 4140.8 range top, which capped four bars, and the 4150 psych level. Price sits at 61.8–78.6% of the 4163.16–4124.64 drop into London open, with the NFP-miss bid already faded from the 4227 spike and the USD firm on safe-haven demand.

  • A break of the higher-low trendline from 4124.64 weakens the double bottom read
  • Holding the 4150 psych level keeps the rebound high at 4155.86 and the asian high at 4163.16 in play; acceptance above 4163.16 breaks the Asian range

Sweep of Friday's 4125 low, then a higher low at 4130 and a reclaim of the 4140 range cap. Price sits below the 4163 Asian high..

Asia faded from the 4163.16 Asian high into a sweep of Friday's post-NFP low, printing the asian low at 4124.64. A single $19 bar at 06:00 UTC then reclaimed the 4140 range cap and pushed into the 0.618–0.786 retracement of the Asian decline ahead of London open. Monday's softer US yields are cushioning bullion against a safe-haven USD bid at fresh YTD highs.

Lower highs from 4163 Asian high; higher low at 4130 after sweep of Friday low.

Gold faded from the 4163 Asian high as the USD printed a fresh YTD high on Middle East haven demand. The drop swept Friday's post-NFP low near 4125 to a 4124.64 Asian low, then rebounded. Price is now coiling between the 4130 swing low and a 4141 lower high, capped at the 38.2% of the Asia drop fib and the lower-highs line ahead of London open. RSI(14) is neutral near 43, with EMA20/50 overhead.

Intraday downtrend, bounce stalling under ema20 · RSI 41 · price 4,139.11

Lower highs from the 4163 Asian high; session low swept Friday's low and rebounded.

Late Asia session: gold has faded from the 4163.2 Asian high in a lower-high chain, and the 4124.6 session low briefly swept Friday's post-NFP low before a bounce back to the 38.2% fib near 4139, just under ema20. A haven-driven USD bid is keeping price below the 4150 round number.

Intraday downtrend, bounce stalling · RSI 44 · price 4,134.66

Lower highs from the 4163 Asian high; bounce off 4124.6 capped near the 38.2% retracement.

Monday's Asia session faded from the 4163.2 Asian high to 4124.6. That briefly undercut Friday's post-NFP low at 4125.2 before a bounce that stalled at 4140.2, the latest lower high, near the 38.2% fib of the Asia drop. The Yemen-driven USD bid is capping gold into the London open, with price below both EMAs and RSI(14) neutral at 44.

Intraday downtrend, bouncing off a sweep low · RSI 46 · price 4,137.20

Asia lower highs from 4163.16, higher low 4130.09 after a sweep of Friday's low.

Asia faded from the 4163.16 asian high into a sweep of Friday's post-NFP 4125.22 low, tagging 4124.64 as the Yemen-driven USD bid lifted the dollar to a fresh YTD high. Price has since set a higher low at 4130.09 and is testing the 38.2% retrace near 4139, with RSI(14) at 46. It remains below the 4146.68 swing high and both EMAs.

Support: 4,130.09, 4,124.64

Lower highs and lower lows off the Asian high; price testing Friday's post-NFP low.

Gold was rejected at the 4163.16 Asian high and faded as the USD hit a fresh YTD high on Yemen headlines. The drop carved a lower high at 4146.68 and a 4124.64 session low, just under Friday's 4125.22 post-NFP low. Late Asia, with London open still ahead; price sits below both EMAs and RSI(14) is near 35.

Support: 4,124.64

Resistance: 4,146.68, 4,163.16

  • M15 close above the 4146.7 lower high breaks the downtrend line read
  • Failure to hold the 4124.6 session low extends the lower-low sequence below Friday's low
  • Bounce capped below the 50% fib of the Asian drop (~4143.9) keeps the downtrend structure intact

Intraday downtrend from the Asia high · RSI 35 · price 4,133.02

Lower highs below 4163, Asian range low broken, Friday low swept.

Late in the Asia session, gold has reversed the early climb to the 4163.16 asian high and broken below the Asian range floor near the 4138.58 asian low, with a lower high at 4146.68, as USD firmed on safe-haven demand. Price swept Friday's 4125 post-NFP low to a 4124.64 session low before a modest bounce. RSI(14) is near 35, soft but not oversold, and price sits below both EMAs.

Support: 4,124.64, 4,110.00

Resistance: 4,138.58, 4,146.68, 4,163.16

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 4138.58 asian low, the 38.2% level of the Asia sell-off fib, would turn the range break into a false break.
  • A push through the 4146.68 lower high would break the lower-high trendline from the asian high.
  • A failure to hold the 4124.64 session low would confirm a lower low and expose the 4110–4113 8-week low.
  • London open in about 2h could set a new session range. ISM Services at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7, Prices Paid in focus) could materially shift this read.

Downtrend, momentum stretched · RSI 27 · price 4,126.35

Lower highs from 4163 session high; marginal break under Friday low.

The early Asia session push to the 4163.16 session high reversed as USD firmed on safe-haven demand, giving back the post-NFP bounce. Price broke through the Monday opening range and printed 4124.64, a marginal break of the 4125.22 Friday low, with RSI(14) near 27. That leaves a chain of lower highs, the latest at 4146.68, heading into the late Asia session.

Asian range broken to the downside, testing Friday's post-NFP base.

The Asia session rally to the 4163.16 asian high faded as USD firmed on safe-haven demand. It unwound the post-NFP bounce and slipped below the 4138.58 asian low, with lower highs capping at the 4146.68 bounce high. Price is now pressing the friday pivot near 4130, with RSI(14) near 33. Not yet oversold.

Asia high rejected, tight base above the session low.

Asia pushed through Friday's late 4149.81 high to an Asian high at 4163.16. The 02:45 UTC flush through the 4152.50 breakdown level unwound the move to a 4136.33 session low, fading the post-NFP bid the digest flagged near 4160. Price is coiling around 4143 below EMA20/50 with RSI(14) near 41 into London open, and the rising lows line from Friday low 4125.22 sits underneath.

Asian range 4136–4163; rising lows broken, lower high in place.

The Asia session recovery after Friday's soft NFP stalled at the 4163 asian high. That level sits at the 38.2% retracement of the post-NFP drop from 4227 to 4125. The asia trendline gave way at 02:45 UTC, and price is now holding just above the 4136 asian low, below the ema20 near 4150.

The Asia session rally to the 4163.16 session high stalled and reversed sharply from 02:45 UTC, erasing Monday's gain as haven USD demand returned. Price at 4143 sits just above the 4136.33 session low and below the 4148.5 ema cluster, which lines up with the 50% level of the Asia drop fib near 4150. RSI(14) is neutral at 46.

Intraday down leg, Asia bounce fully unwound · RSI 39 · price 4,137.68

Asian range low broken, lower high at 4163 then sharp sell-off.

Late in the Asia session, gold has unwound its Monday bounce. It was rejected at the 4163 asian high, then slid about 2,500 pips through the rising trendline, the 4152 range base and the 4138.6 asian low as haven USD demand returned. Price is sitting on the 4136 session low near Friday's post-NFP close area, and RSI(14) has eased to about 39 without reaching an extreme.

Sharp sell-off from the Asian high back to the Asian low.

A single $15 bar at 02:45 UTC reversed the Monday Asia session climb from the Asian high at 4163.2, wiping out most of the post-NFP extension as haven USD demand returned. Price now holds the 61.8% fib of the 4125–4163 rebound, just above the Asian low at 4138.6, and sits below both EMAs.

Asian HH/HL chain from 4138.6, now testing the 4152 higher low.

Mid-Asia, gold has lifted from the 4138.6 Asian low to a 4163.16 Asian high. That high sits on the 38.2% fib of Friday's NFP spike-and-reversal (4227–4125), which reversed despite the 29K miss as yields held near highs. Price has rejected there and is back on the 4152 higher low, with RSI(14) near 57 and ATR around 610 pips.

Higher lows off 4140 Asian low, capped at 4160–4163.

Gold has climbed off the 4140 Asian low in a higher-low chain during the Asia session, retracing part of Friday's NFP spike to 4227 and reversal to 4125. Price is stalling under the 4163 session high, which lines up with the 38.2% fib of that reversal. RSI(14) is near 62 and ATR(14) is about 600 pips.

Higher-low chain from the 4140 asian low into a 4163 session high.

Gold opened flat near Friday's 4139 close. The Asia session then built a higher-low chain off the 4140 asian low to a 4163 session high, which sits at the 38.2% fib of Friday's post-NFP drop from 4227 to 4125. RSI(14) is near 64 and the 4152 swing low is holding the micro-structure, while the USD haven bid caps follow-through.

Support: 4,152.20, 4,140.30, 4,125.20

Resistance: 4,163.20, 4,176.20, 4,200.00

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 4163 session high and the 38.2% fib opens the 4176 fib 50% area, where Friday's breakdown accelerated.
  • Failure to hold the 4152 swing low breaks the higher-low chain and exposes the 4140 asian low, then the 4125 friday low.
  • ISM Services PMI at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7), with S&P Global PMI at 13:45 UTC, could materially shift this read. 4200 psych remains the rejection zone from last week.

Intraday uptrend, Asia higher lows · RSI 66 · price 4,160.33

HH/HL chain off 4140; Friday's late 4130–4150 base broken to the upside.

Mid-Asia session, gold has lifted out of Friday's post-NFP 4130–4150 base. It climbed from the 4140 asian low area to a 4161.64 asian high, putting a higher low at 4152 and clearing the 4149.81 fri late top. Price is pressing just under the fib 38.2 retracement of the NFP spike-and-reversal (4227–4125) at 4164, with RSI(14) near 66 and ATR(14) ~6.1 USD; weekend news flow was thin, so the move is technical.

Support: 4,152.19, 4,149.81, 4,138.58

Resistance: 4,161.64, 4,164.21, 4,176.25

What it said to watch

  • Close above 4164 (fib 38.2) opens the 4174–4176 breakdown shelf and fib 50
  • Failure at the 4161.64 asian high with a break of the 4152 higher low and the rising trendline breaks the HH/HL chain
  • Loss of the 4149.81 fri late top puts price back inside Friday's base toward the 4138.58 asian low
  • ISM Services PMI at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7, with Prices Paid) could materially shift this read; a hot print has been hitting gold via yields

Short-term recovery off Friday's low, Asia drift higher · RSI 62 · price 4,154.22

Higher lows inside Asian range 4138.6–4161.4.

Friday's NFP spike to 4227 met rejection and unwound to a 4125.22 friday low as yields held firm. Mid-Asia session, price has climbed off the 4138.58 asia low to a 4161.35 asia high and is holding above Friday's late prior high at 4149.8, still shallow on the fib of that bounce. RSI(14) is near 62 and ATR(14) is roughly $5.60.

Support: 4,149.80, 4,138.58, 4,125.22

Resistance: 4,161.35, 4,176.77

What it said to watch

  • Loss of the 4149.8 prior high puts the 4138.58 asia low and the bounce fib 50% near 4143 back in play
  • Break of the 4125.22 friday low resumes the post-NFP downleg
  • London open may extend or reject the Asian range
  • ISM Services PMI at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) and Prices Paid could materially shift this read

Intraday uptrend off Friday's post-NFP low · RSI 64 · price 4,156.17

Asia opening-range break, higher highs and higher lows since 4140.

Monday's Asia session broke above its 4138.6–4148.2 opening range (the range top) and Friday's late high near 4149.8. That opened a higher-high chain to the 4161.35 session high, with USD still soft after the 29K NFP miss. Price has retraced roughly 30% of Friday's post-NFP drop from 4227 to the 4125 friday low, and the 38.2% fib near 4164 sits just above the session high.

Support: 4,148.50, 4,138.60, 4,125.22

Resistance: 4,161.35, 4,164.20, 4,176.25

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back below the range top at 4148.5 reverses the Asia breakout and exposes the asia low at 4138.6
  • A close above the 4161.35 session high brings the 38.2% fib at 4164 and the 50% fib at 4176 into play
  • A break of the rising asia hl line from 4140 to 4152.8 ends the higher-low sequence
  • Loss of 4138.6 reopens the 4125.22 friday low
  • ISM Services PMI at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7, plus Prices Paid) could materially shift this read

Early-week bounce, higher highs off Asia low · RSI 66 · price 4,156.62

HH/HL chain in Asia, back above Friday's late high.

Monday's Asia session lifted off the 4138.58 Asia low and cleared Friday's late-session prior high at 4149.81. It printed higher lows along a rising line up to the 4161.35 Asia high, with RSI(14) near 66 and not stretched. The bounce sits just past the 23.6% retracement of Friday's NFP spike-and-reversal from 4227 to the 4125.22 NFP low, with the 38.2% fib at 4164.21 and the 4170 breakdown zone above. Weekend news was thin.

Support: 4,149.81, 4,138.58, 4,125.22

Resistance: 4,161.35, 4,164.21, 4,170.00

What it said to watch

  • Break of the Asia rising line near 4151 and a close back below the 4149.81 prior high returns price to Friday's late range
  • Loss of the 4138.58 Asia low exposes the 4125.22 NFP low
  • US ISM Services PMI (14:00 UTC) and S&P Global PMI (13:45 UTC) later Monday could materially shift this read, with US yields near highs

Rebounding off post-NFP low, momentum firm · RSI 66 · price 4,155.44

Rising lows off 4125, pressing early-Asia session high.

Monday's Asia session opened near Friday's 4139 close. Price has since lifted to a 4158.15 session high, retracing part of the NFP spike-and-rejection from 4227 to 4125. Gold is now holding just above the EMA50 at 4153.6 on a chain of rising lows, below the 38.2% fib at 4164, with RSI(14) near 66.

Support: 4,153.60, 4,138.58, 4,125.22

Resistance: 4,158.15, 4,164.20, 4,176.77

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 4158.15 session high and the 38.2% fib at 4164 opens Friday's 4176.8 breakdown level from the NY sell-off
  • Loss of the EMA50 and the 4138.58 Asian low breaks the rising lows and returns focus to the 4125.22 Friday low
  • ISM Services PMI at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) is the next catalyst; a hot print with firmer yields could materially shift this read

Downtrend, corrective bounce from 4125 · RSI 60 · price 4,152.81

Asia session pushed above Friday's late range; holding below the 38.2% fib.

Early in the Asia session, gold opened flat near Friday's 4139 close. It then pushed through the 4148 range top from Friday's late trade, printed a 4158 session high and eased back. Price is holding above the 23.6% retrace of the NFP spike-and-reversal (4227 to 4125), with RSI(14) near 60 and the 50 EMA overhead around 4153. Weekend flow is thin, and the digest notes yields near highs keeping the post-NFP bounce contained.

Support: 4,148.20, 4,138.60, 4,125.20

Resistance: 4,158.20, 4,164.20

What it said to watch

  • Holding above the 4148 range top keeps the Asian range break intact; a slip back below reopens the 4138.6 Asian low
  • M15 close above the 4158 session high brings the 38.2% fib at 4164 into play, with Friday's 4176 breakdown level above
  • Failure at 4125, the nfp low, would extend Friday's reversal into a fresh lower low
  • ISM Services PMI at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) and S&P Composite at 13:45 UTC could materially shift this read

Bouncing after the NFP reversal, short-term higher lows · RSI 64 · price 4,154.54

Broke out of Friday's 4125–4150 range; Asian range 4138.6–4158.2 still forming.

The Asia session open lifted gold out of Friday's post-NFP 4125–4150 consolidation. Price cleared the 4149.8 prior high and printed a 4158.15 session high. It now sits barely above EMA50 (~4153) and below the 38.2% fib of the NFP reversal at 4164.2, with RSI(14) near 64 and weekend news thin.

Support: 4,149.80, 4,138.60, 4,125.20

  • Loss of the 4138.6 asian low reopens the 4125.2 nfp low

  • ISM Services PMI at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) and US yields could reset this read later in the day

00:18 UTC

Recovering off post-NFP low, pressing EMA50 · RSI 58 · price 4,152.31

Higher lows from 4125.2; Monday Asian range broken higher.

Early Asia has pushed out of the 4138–4148 opening range to a 4153.1 session high. That puts price on EMA50 and just above the 23.6% fib of Friday's NFP spike-and-reversal (4227→4125), clearing Friday's 4149.8 prior high. The 4160 breakdown pivot and the 38.2% fib at 4164 sit overhead, with the session low and the post-NFP low marking the floor of Friday's consolidation.

Support: 4,149.80, 4,138.60, 4,125.20

Resistance: 4,153.10, 4,160.10

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close above the 4153.1 session high and EMA50 opens the 4160 breakdown pivot and the 38.2% fib at 4164
  • Loss of the 4125.2 post-NFP low reopens the 4110–4113 eight-week low
  • ISM Services at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7), with Prices Paid, could materially shift this read; thin Asia liquidity until then

00:04 UTC

Post-NFP downleg, stabilising in Asia · RSI 53 · price 4,145.34

Tight Asian range capped below Friday's prior high.

Gold opened the Asia session flat to Friday's close and is holding a 4138.6–4148.2 Asian range, after Friday's NFP spike to 4227 was rejected and the drop ran to the 4125.2 nfp low as long-end yields rose. Friday's late prior high at 4149.8 sits on the 23.6% fib of that move and is capping the bounce. RSI(14) is neutral near 53.

Support: 4,138.60, 4,125.20

Resistance: 4,149.80, 4,164.20

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 4149.8 prior high opens the 38.2% fib at 4164.2
  • Break of the 4138.6 asian low exposes the 4125.2 nfp low
  • S&P Global PMI 13:45 UTC and ISM Services 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) could materially shift this read in NY hours
