Chain of lower highs/lows, higher low building off 3959.
Gold has been in a multi-month downtrend off the 5300 area, printing a swing low at 3959 in late June before a sharp bounce back above 4100. The recovery followed Thursday's big NFP miss (57K vs 110K), which knocked USD and yields and lifted gold over 2% to briefly clear 4200; since then price has consolidated between roughly 4110 and 4200 as the dollar rebounded. Price is sitting on EMA20 but remains below a falling EMA50, and the 3959 low carved a higher low against the prior 4071 trough.
Support: 4,110.00, 4,000.00, 3,959.00
Resistance: 4,200.00, 4,260.00, 4,300.00
What it said to watch
- FOMC Minutes Wed 18:00 UTC (HIGH) could materially shift this read
- Daily close above 4200 pivot opens the path to 4260 and the downtrend line near 4300
- Failure to hold 4000 round number exposes the 3959 swing low, then 3930/3885

Downtrend, bouncing off lows · RSI 46 · price 4,155.58
Lower highs since April, consolidating above late-June low.
Gold has traced a chain of lower highs off the ~4890 mid-April peak down to the 3959 swing low late June, keeping the D1 trend firmly down and price well below a falling EMA(50). Thursday's soft NFP (57K vs 110K) sparked a >2% pop that briefly cleared the 4202 pivot before fading; price is now consolidating in the 4120-4200 band, back above EMA(20) but capped by the descending trendline near 4300. The higher RSI low against the lower price low hints at waning downside momentum, with PBoC buying cited as a structural cushion toward the 4000 round level.
