Downtrend, bounce stalling · RSI 44 · price 4,075.40

Lower highs into 4021 low, corrective bounce.

Gold sold off hard this week, breaking down through 4114 during the NY session as a firmer dollar and Hormuz-driven oil/yield bid pressured the metal, printing a low at 4021 before a bounce that stalled at 4091 (38.2% retrace of the drop). Price is now consolidating in a tight range just below a falling EMA20 with RSI recovering from oversold toward the mid-40s. The 4052 swing low is the pivot for the corrective phase.

Support: 4,052.00, 4,000.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 4091 (38.2% fib) would ease the downtrend read
  • Failure to hold 4052 opens a retest of the 4021 week low and 4000 psych
  • US Initial Jobless Claims Thu 12:30 UTC could shift this read

23:03 UTC

Downtrend, bounce stalling · RSI 46 · price 4,075.40

Lower highs, lower lows; recovery off week low.

Gold has trended lower all week, rolling over from the ~4202 high and breaking through the 4125 support shelf into a fast washout to the 4021 week low. That drop, alongside the firmer USD and higher oil into the FOMC minutes, drove price ~2% lower WTD; the subsequent bounce has stalled just under 4091 with RSI(14) recovering from oversold but capped near 46. Price sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50), keeping the intraday structure heavy.

Support: 4,040.00, 4,021.00, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,091.00, 4,125.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 4091 bounce high would reopen the path toward 4125 broken supp
  • Failure to hold 4040 swing low / 4021 week low puts 4000 psych in play
  • US Jobless Claims Thu 12:30 UTC could shift this read; CPI Jul 14 the larger risk

22:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce · RSI 44 · price 4,077.28

Lower highs and lower lows, basing near week low.

Gold has bled ~2% this week, with the dominant leg lower coming as USD firmed on Iran risk-off and Oil-driven yield pressure; price sliced through 4100 into the NY session and printed a week low near 4021. A corrective bounce off that low has stalled around the 4091 bounce high, with price now pinned just under the EMA20 at ~4085 as RSI recovers from oversold toward the mid-40s.

Support: 4,021.00, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,085.00

What it said to watch

21:05 UTC

Downtrend, bounce off week low · RSI 46 · price 4,077.28

Lower highs into 4021 low, corrective bounce.

Downtrend this week — gold rolled over from Tuesday's 4202 high in a sequence of lower highs and broke down hard through the 4120 breakdown level during the NY session as Trump declared the Iran MOU over and the USD firmed, printing a 4021 week low. Buyers defended near 4033 twice on the way down and price has since clawed back above 4060, but it sits below both EMAs with RSI(14) recovering into the mid-40s. The 4091 session high is capping the bounce.

Support: 4,033.00, 4,021.00, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,091.00, 4,120.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above 4120 breaks the week's lower-high sequence

21:05 UTC

Downtrend, bounce underway · RSI 46 · price 4,077.28

Lower highs, lower lows off week peak.

Gold broke down through the 4114 range floor and slid to 4021 during the NY session, extending the week's decline off the 4200 ceiling as the USD firmed on Iran headlines and traders positioned into the FOMC minutes. Price sits below both EMA20 and EMA50 after a bounce back to 4077, with the 4091 session high capping the recovery so far. Prior support at 4114 now sits as overhead resistance.

Support: 4,033.00, 4,000.00, 3,941.00

Resistance: 4,091.00, 4,114.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above 4114 invalidates the breakdown read
  • Failure to hold 4033/4000 opens the 3941 week floor
  • Thu jobless claims (12:30 UTC) and Tue US CPI could reshape this read

20:03 UTC

Downtrend, bounce off lows · RSI 43 · price 4,077.34

Lower highs, lower lows; recovering off week low.

Gold rolled over from the $4,200 cap that rejected twice early this week and broke down through $4,120 prior support, printing a $4,021 week low during yesterday's NY session as the USD firmed into the FOMC minutes. Price is now bouncing but holds below EMA20, with RSI(14) recovering off its lows near 43. The chain of lower highs from Monday's 4202 double top remains intact.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,120.00, 4,202.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above 4120 would neutralise the downtrend read
  • Loss of 4021 week low opens the path toward the 4000 psych level
  • US Jobless Claims Thu 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

20:03 UTC

Downtrend, bounce underway · RSI 44 · price 4,077.34

Lower highs into week low, corrective bounce.

Gold has trended lower all week, rejected at the 4202 area twice before breaking down through 4121 into the NY session and printing a 4021 week low as the USD firmed on renewed Hormuz risk. Price is now bouncing off that low toward 4091 but remains capped below EMA20 and EMA50, with RSI(14) recovering from oversold into the mid-40s. The 4084–4091 zone is the immediate area to watch for rejection or continuation.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,121.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 4021 confirms a lower low, opening 4000 psych
  • Reclaim of 4121 prior support would neutralise the downtrend read
  • FOMC minutes reaction and Initial Jobless Claims Thu 12:30 UTC could shift this read

19:03 UTC

Downtrend, bouncing off lows · RSI 44 · price 4,090.42

Lower highs, swept 4021 then recovered.

Gold shed roughly 1.4% from the mid-week $4,180 area down to a $4,021 low as the USD firmed on renewed Iran headlines, the dominant move printing through the NY session. Price sold through 4033 before recovering into the low $4,090s, now sitting back near EMA(20) but still under EMA(50) with RSI clawing off oversold territory. The bounce firmed as markets digested June FOMC minutes released 18:00 UTC.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,114.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 4114 then EMA(50) near 4130 would neutralise the lower-high sequence

19:03 UTC

Downtrend, bouncing off week low · RSI 47 · price 4,090.42

Lower highs, lower lows since the 4200 rejection.

Gold has trended lower all week off the 4200 ceiling, losing ~1.4% after Trump declared the Iran MOU over and the USD firmed into the FOMC minutes. Price broke the 4120 shelf and printed a week low at 4021.78 before demand stepped in, lifting the last few H1 bars back to 4090 as RSI put in a higher low against the lower price low. The bounce is capped below the declining EMA20 near 4125, which has aligned with the week's supply.

Support: 4,021.78, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,125.00, 4,200.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above 4125 (ema20) needed to challenge the downtrend read

  • Initial Jobless Claims Thu 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

18:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stabilising · RSI 43 · price 4,068.14

Lower highs, broke this-week range floor.

Gold has bled from the $4,200 area since Monday, with a sharp NY-session breakdown through the 4120 range floor into the FOMC Minutes, dragging price to a 4021 session low before a bounce toward 4068. Price sits below the H1 EMA20 (~4110) with RSI(14) cycling in the low 40s; buyers stepped in twice at the 4034 swing low, keeping the $4,000 psych level in view. The 18:00 UTC Minutes release lands right at the window edge and is driving the current volatility.

Support: 4,034.00, 4,021.00, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,090.00, 4,110.00

What it said to watch

18:03 UTC

Downtrend, bouncing off lows · RSI 42 · price 4,068.14

Lower highs, tested weekly low.

Gold sold off into the FOMC Minutes, breaking below the 4121 shelf and stretching to a fresh weekly low at 4021 before demand stepped in to lift price back toward 4068. Structure remains a sequence of lower highs from Monday's 4202 peak, with price trading under both EMA(20) and EMA(50). The bounce is a recovery within the week's downtrend, not yet a break of it.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,086.37, 4,121.00

What it said to watch

  • FOMC Minutes just released (18:00 UTC) — primary catalyst, can materially shift this read into the next bars
  • Failure to reclaim 4086 session high keeps the lower-high structure intact
  • H1 close below 4021 weekly low opens the path toward 4000 psych

17:04 UTC

Downtrend, momentum extended · RSI 41 · price 4,060.47

Lower highs, range floor broken.

Gold rolled over through the week, losing the 4120 range floor and cascading to a 4021 low as Trump scrapping the Iran MoU bid the USD and firm yields capped bullion into the FOMC Minutes. Price sits below both EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) pressed toward oversold; the late-NY bounce has stalled near 4063, well under the prior 4120 shelf now acting as resistance. Weekly open at 4177 is a distant cap after two failed attempts at 4200 earlier in the week.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,086.37, 4,123.00, 4,177.46

Downtrend, bouncing off week low · RSI 41 · price 4,060.47

Lower highs, lower lows since the ~4200 peak.

Gold slid ~1.4% into today's FOMC Minutes, breaking down from the ~4200 ceiling through the 4120 shelf and printing a week low at 4021 before a partial recovery to 4060. Price trades below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with structure defined by lower highs since the NY session peak. The 4086 bounce high caps the current recovery attempt while the broken 4123 support now sits overhead.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,086.37, 4,123.00

What it said to watch

  • FOMC Minutes at 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read

16:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum accelerating · RSI 34 · price 4,034.11

Lower highs, lower lows; broke prior floor.

Gold sold off sharply through the NY session, slicing the 4090 prior floor and printing lows in the 4020s as the USD firmed on renewed Middle East escalation. Bounces have capped near 4072 while price sits well below EMA20 (~4120) with RSI(14) pressed into the low 30s. Weekly structure is a clean series of lower highs from Monday's 4200 open into today's break.

Resistance: 4,072.00, 4,090.00, 4,120.00

16:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum extending · RSI 34 · price 4,034.11

Lower highs, lower lows since week's peak.

Gold has trended down all week off the 4202 peak, and the breakdown accelerated in the NY session as the USD caught a safe-haven bid on Iran headlines, dropping price ~1.4% through 4100 to 4034. Price sits well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) near 33; the 4021 swing low is the immediate structural marker, with the 4000 psychological floor just beneath.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,114.00

15:03 UTC

Downtrend, extended · RSI 34 · price 4,039.83

Lower highs, lower lows below EMAs.

Gold has bled steadily since Monday's open near 4177, giving back ~140 dollars and now sitting sub-4040 well below both EMA20 and EMA50. The dominant leg came in the London session today when a sharp break through the 4100 pivot dropped price to a 4033 week low, with renewed Hormuz-driven oil/yield concerns capping the metal. RSI(14) is oversold near 33 as price hugs the lows.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,100.00

What it said to watch

  • FOMC Minutes at 18:00 UTC is the key near-term catalyst and could materially shift this read
  • Loss of 4033 week low exposes the 4000 psych level
  • H1 close back above the 4100 pivot would neutralise the breakdown

15:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum accelerating · RSI 37 · price 4,039.83

Lower highs, range broken to downside.

Gold rolled over from Wednesday's $4,203 high, breaking the $4,100–4,200 range that framed most of the week and shedding ground through the NY session as US-Iran/Hormuz-driven oil and yields revived the hawkish-Fed headwind. The break below the $4,100 pivot accelerated selling into the $4,033 week low, and price now probes the $4,000 psychological floor. RSI(14) is pressed toward oversold and price sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50), with the $4,086 bounce high capping the last relief attempt.

What it said to watch

  • Loss of $4,000 psych opens further downside; PBoC-buying zone cited as cushion
  • FOMC Minutes 18:00 UTC — highest near-term catalyst, could materially shift this read
  • Reclaim of the $4,100 pivot would neutralise the breakdown

14:03 UTC

Downtrend after failed break, bouncing off lows · RSI 43 · price 4,066.81

Double top rejection then breakdown, basing near week low.

Gold spiked to a 4180-4200 cap early in the week and stalled there twice (4195, then 4202), printing a double top before a sharp breakdown through 4120 during the London session dropped price to a week low of 4041. Price has since clawed back toward 4066 but sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50), with RSI cycling in the low-40s after the flush. Prior support around 4120 now sits overhead as resistance, consistent with the digest's read of rallies capped sub-4200 by firmer yields and oil.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,120.00, 4,180.00

What it said to watch

  • FOMC Minutes 18:00 UTC today (HIGH) could materially shift this read
  • H1 close back above 4120 negates the breakdown structure
  • Failure to hold 4041 opens the path toward the 4000 psych floor

14:03 UTC

Downtrend, bounce off lows · RSI 43 · price 4,066.81

Breakdown from range, lower highs.

Gold broke down through the 4114 prior support during Wednesday's NY session after twice failing at the ~4200 cap below the 4180 week high, sliding to a 4040 swing low before a modest bounce toward the 4086 bounce high. Price now trades well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) recovering off oversold into the low 40s. The digest flags renewed US yields and Hormuz-driven oil as the drag capping rallies.

Support: 4,040.00, 4,000.00

13:04 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stabilising · RSI 35 · price 4,072.73

Lower highs, breakdown from week's range.

Gold peaked near 4202 early week and ranged 4120–4180 before a sharp London-session sell-off Wednesday broke the floor, driving price to 4040 as oil/yield-linked flows and pre-FOMC positioning weighed. Price is now stabilising around 4072, trading below both EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) near 35 after the flush. The 4120 breakdown level now caps as prior support.

Support: 4,040.00, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,121.00

What it said to watch

  • FOMC minutes 18:00 UTC is the nearest high catalyst and can materially shift this read

13:04 UTC

Downtrend, fresh breakdown · RSI 42 · price 4,072.73

Lower highs, lower low after range break.

Gold sliced through the $4,120–4,160 consolidation floor in a single NY-session bar, dropping to $4,040 before a modest bounce back to $4,072. Price sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) mid-40s after washing out; the $4,000 psychological floor flagged in the digest is the next reference below. FOMC minutes at 18:00 UTC is the immediate catalyst.

Support: 4,040.00, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,120.00

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold 4040 opens the path toward the 4000 psych floor

12:03 UTC

Downtrend, sharp breakdown · RSI 34 · price 4,059.92

Range broken to downside, lower low printed.

Gold rejected the $4,180-4,202 cap repeatedly through midweek before a single-session flush during the NY session tore through the $4,100-4,120 base and tagged a swing low at 4040.59. Price now sits below EMA20 (~4123) and EMA50 with RSI(14) around 34, and the late bounce off 4040 has stalled under the broken 4100 floor. The move fits the firmer-USD/yield tone that has capped the non-yielding metal all week.

Support: 4,040.59, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,100.00, 4,123.00

What it said to watch

12:03 UTC

Downtrend, sharp leg lower · RSI 38 · price 4,059.92

Range break down, below broken shelf.

Gold was capped at 4200 twice earlier this week and rolled over, then sold off hard into the NY session, slicing through the 4120 prior-support shelf to a 4040 swing low before a shallow bounce back to 4060. Price trades well below EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) near oversold after the impulse down, consistent with firmer yields and a steady USD ahead of the FOMC minutes.

Support: 4,040.00, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,120.00

What it said to watch

  • FOMC minutes at 18:00 UTC is the primary catalyst and could materially shift this read

11:03 UTC

Downtrend, sharp acceleration · RSI 31 · price 4,051.60

Breakdown from week's consolidation, new lows.

Gold sold off hard into early London, slicing through the $4,110-4,130 consolidation that had held since Monday and printing a session low at 4040 before stalling near 4050. The move broke a multi-day range and pushed RSI(14) into oversold as price sits well below both EMA(20) and EMA(50). Selling ties to the firmer USD and Hormuz-driven yield bid noted in the digest, with traders positioning ahead of the FOMC minutes.

Support: 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,114.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above 4114 broken shelf would negate the breakdown
  • Failure to hold 4040 swing low opens the path to the 4000 psych level

10:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum accelerating · RSI 27 · price 4,043.67

Range break lower, fresh lower low.

Gold has broken hard out of this week's $4,100-$4,200 box, dumping through the $4,100 pivot into the 08:00 UTC bar to print 4041.5 as a firm USD, elevated yields and Hormuz-driven flows weighed. The $4,200/$4,202 barrier twice capped attempts earlier in the week (double top), and price now sits well below both EMAs with RSI(14) pushed to oversold. This is a decisive lower low below Monday's open around 4057.

Support: 4,041.50, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,100.00

What it said to watch

  • FOMC minutes at 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read
  • Failure to reclaim the 4100 pivot keeps the lower-low structure intact

10:03 UTC

Downtrend, breakdown accelerating · RSI 30 · price 4,043.67

Range break below 4100 pivot.

Gold spent most of the week boxed 4100-4200 but sliced through the 4100 pivot in the last two NY-session hours, collapsing to 4043 on a high-volume impulse bar. Price is now well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) pressed into oversold. The move fits the digest's hawkish-yields / Hormuz-inflation read that had capped every rally under the 4200 range top.

Support: 4,041.50, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,100.00, 4,200.00

What it said to watch

09:04 UTC

Downtrend emerging, momentum accelerating · RSI 21 · price 4,053.68

Break below week's range, lower high in place.

Gold rolled over hard into the last hour, breaking down from the $4,114 consolidation to a session low at $4,052 after stalling twice near the $4,200 week high (double top). Price now trades well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) deeply oversold near 20 as the metal slipped through the Hormuz/yield-driven fade seen since Monday. FOMC minutes at 18:00 UTC is the next catalyst into this move.

What it said to watch

  • Reclaim of the $4,114 breakdown level would neutralise the lower-high structure
  • Failure to hold the $4,000 psych level extends the leg lower
  • FOMC minutes 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read

09:04 UTC

Week's rally reversed, momentum down · RSI 30 · price 4,053.68

Double top rejection, breakdown from range.

Gold has round-tripped the week: after rallying off Monday's 4041 open toward the 4200 cap twice, price failed at the double top and broke down through the 4120 support into the NY session, dropping to 4052 and erasing the entire advance. The slide tracks a firmer USD and Hormuz-driven yield backup that has capped the metal below 4200 all week. Price now sits well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI stretched into oversold territory near the weekly-low zone.

Support: 4,041.30, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,120.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 4041 confirms a lower low and exposes 4000

  • FOMC minutes 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read

08:03 UTC

Range-bound, drifting lower off the highs · RSI 44 · price 4,118.52

Capped below 4200, lower highs into 4100 pivot.

Gold has churned inside the $4,100–4,200 band all week after the soft-NFP relief rally stalled near 4200, printing lower highs (4202, 4180) into each NY session. Price slipped back under the H1 EMA20 (~4128) after a rejection at 4172, and buyers stepped in twice around 4092–4100 to keep the range floor intact. RSI(14) sits mid-40s, reflecting the two-way grind rather than directional momentum.

Pullback from weekly highs, consolidating · RSI 47 · price 4,118.52

Lower highs off 4200, basing above 4092.

Gold rolled over from the 4202 week high into Tuesday's NY session, sliding to a 4092 low before basing near 4118, and now sits just under both EMA20 and EMA50. Price is boxed in the 4100–4140 range flagged in the macro read, with supply capping the 4175–4202 zone through the week. FOMC minutes at 18:00 UTC are the near catalyst.

07:03 UTC

Pullback from week high, consolidating · RSI 48 · price 4,124.39

Recovered off 4092 week low, capped near 4133.

Gold opened Monday near 4035 and rallied through the midweek NY session to a 4202 week high before unwinding to a 4092 low as the Hormuz-driven yield/USD bid capped the metal below 4200. Price has since stabilised in a 4092-4133 band, sitting just under EMA(20) with RSI(14) cycling around the midline. Recent attempts higher have been rejected at 4133, keeping the recovery contained.

07:03 UTC

Pullback within this-week's range · RSI 48 · price 4,124.39

Lower highs off the weekly peak, basing near 4100.

Gold rallied hard from Monday's 4034 open to a 4202 weekly high, then rolled over into a steady pullback capped by lower highs. Buyers stepped in twice around 4092-4098 to form a base, and price has since chopped back to 4124, tracking just under the EMA20 with RSI(14) mid-range. The move fits the digest: soft NFP fuelled the bounce off the seven-month low, but Hormuz-driven yields kept the metal capped below 4200.

Resistance: 4,157.00

What it said to watch

06:03 UTC

Uptrend stalling, pullback in progress · RSI 49 · price 4,126.92

Consolidating below week high after rejection.

Gold ripped from Monday's 4033 base to 4202 before supply capped it twice at the 4180 rejection level, unable to clear 4200 as firmer yields and Hormuz-driven inflation risk offset the soft NFP tailwind. Since then price has bled back into a 4092–4180 range, dipping to 4092 before demand stepped in to recover to 4127. RSI cycling near 48 and price is pinned to EMA20 while sitting below EMA50, a neutral-to-corrective posture beneath the week's highs.

Range below 4200, momentum flat · RSI 47 · price 4,126.92

Consolidation after week rally, lower highs capping.

Gold ran from Monday's 4035 open to a 4202 week high before stalling; the $4,200 cap and 4180 rejection have held all week. Price pulled back to a 4092 swing low during NY hours yesterday then recovered to 4127, now sitting just under EMA20 with RSI(14) hovering near 46. Two-way consolidation persists into today's FOMC minutes with 4116 acting as intraday support.

05:04 UTC

Pullback within weekly range · RSI 49 · price 4,127.05

Lower highs off 4202, holding above 4092 low.

Gold rallied off Monday's 4035 open to a weekly high of 4202 after last week's soft NFP, but the 4200 cap held and price has since carved a lower-high sequence back below both EMAs. The NY session yesterday drove the leg down to a 4092 swing low before demand stepped in, and price is now consolidating around 4127 inside the broader 4100–4200 range. FOMC Minutes at 18:00 UTC is the next catalyst.

Support: 4,116.00, 4,092.00, 4,100.00

05:03 UTC

Uptrend stalling, mid-range pullback · RSI 48 · price 4,127.05

Consolidating below the weekly high.

Gold impulsed off Monday's ~4031 open to a 4202 weekly high, then rolled over into a $4,100–4,200 range as the NFP-driven rally lost steam and firmer yields capped recovery. The 4180 area rejected the latest bounce and the drop found demand at the 4092 swing low before reclaiming the 4116 intraday support. Price now sits below EMA20/50 with RSI(14) hovering near the midline.

Support: 4,116.00, 4,092.00, 4,100.00

  • Loss of 4092 swing low confirms a lower-low toward the 4100 psych area

04:03 UTC

Pullback from weekly high, momentum soft · RSI 48 · price 4,123.89

Lower highs since Tuesday's 4202 rejection.

Gold's Tuesday rally to the 4202 weekly cap was rejected and price has since carved lower highs, sliding to a 4092 swing low on Wednesday before recovering to 4123 — trading below EMA20 with RSI cycling in the mid-40s. The post-NFP rebound has stalled twice under 4200, and the 4100 psych level plus 4096 swing low are the pivots holding the recovery together. Price is coiling between the 4135 EMA20 area above and the 4096–4100 base below.

Support: 4,096.00, 4,100.00

Resistance: 4,135.00, 4,202.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 4135 EMA20 would ease the lower-high pressure
  • Break below 4096 swing low confirms a fresh lower-low toward 4100/4000
  • FOMC minutes today 18:00 UTC is a high-impact risk to this range read

Downtrend this week, bounce underway · RSI 47 · price 4,123.89

Lower highs, lower lows off 4202; testing back into supply.

Gold opened this week near 4177 and rallied to 4202 twice before that cap held, then slid two sessions to a 4092 low as a firm USD and rising yields on Hormuz-oil inflation pressured the metal. Price has since bounced to 4124 but sits below both the H1 EMA20 (~4144) and EMA50, keeping the descending sequence of lower highs intact. RSI(14) has recovered from oversold into the mid-40s alongside the move off 4092.

Support: 4,092.00

Resistance: 4,144.00, 4,172.00, 4,202.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 4172 would break the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to reclaim the 4144 EMA20 keeps the bounce corrective
  • Break of 4092 weekly low exposes 4000 psych
  • FOMC minutes 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read

03:03 UTC

Uptrend stalled, correcting lower · RSI 47 · price 4,119.79

Lower highs off the weekly high, ranging near 4100.

Gold rallied hard off Monday's base into the $4,202 cap but supply capped two attempts there this week — the second post-gap push to 4202 mirrored the prior 4195 peak, leaving a double-top look. Price has since bled lower through yesterday's NY session to a 4092 day low before stabilising around 4100–4120 in Asia; sits below EMode(20) and EMA(50) with RSI cycling in the mid-40s. Structure is a corrective range beneath the descending lower-high line.

Support: 4,100.00, 4,092.40, 4,000.00

  • H1 close back above 4155 would end the lower-high sequence
  • Loss of 4092 confirms a lower-low, exposing 4000
  • Sustained break above 4202 needed to confirm recovery

03:03 UTC

Downtrend, pullback bounce off lows · RSI 46 · price 4,119.79

Lower highs since Monday, bounce off 4092.

Gold's post-NFP rebound stalled at a double top around 4202 and has bled lower since Monday's session, printing lower highs into a 4092 swing low before a modest bounce back to 4119. Price sits below EMA(20) with RSI(14) recovering from the mid-40s after the flush. Supply capped repeatedly near 4202 while demand stepped in around 4092/4100.

Support: 4,100.00, 4,092.40

Resistance: 4,147.20, 4,202.00

What it said to watch

02:03 UTC

Downtrend, second-day pullback · RSI 41 · price 4,108.85

Lower highs off Monday's high, testing week's base.

Gold has slipped for a second day off Monday's rally, capped twice near 4202 and now grinding along the week's base after a probe to 4092 into the Asia session. Price trades below both EMA20 (~4128) and EMA50 with RSI(14) cooling near 41, consistent with the firm USD/yields read. The recovery to 4109 is holding above the 4100 psych level for now.

Support: 4,100.00, 4,092.40, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,128.00, 4,155.00, 4,202.00

What it said to watch

  • Sustained loss of 4092 swing low confirms a lower-low toward the 4000 psych level

02:03 UTC

Pullback, short-term downtrend · RSI 39 · price 4,108.85

Lower highs off twice-rejected 4200 cap.

Gold has slipped a second day off the $4,200/$4,202 area that capped two attempts this week, printing an intraday $4,092 before stabilising near $4,108 under both EMA20 and EMA50. RSI(14) sits in the high-30s reflecting the fade, and the descending lower-highs structure keeps 4131 EMA as first overhead friction. Price is consolidating just above the $4,100 round number ahead of FOMC minutes.

Support: 4,092.40, 4,000.00

Pullback from weekly high, momentum down · RSI 39 · price 4,114.74

Lower highs since Monday, retreating off $4,200 cap.

Gold stalled twice below $4,202 this week and has bled lower since, sliding through the $4,127 shelf into an intraday low of $4,092 during the NY session before stabilising near $4,114. Price sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) pressed near 39, reflecting the two-day retreat as a firm USD and elevated yields cap the post-NFP rebound. The $4,200/$4,202 zone stands as a twice-rejected cap while $4,100/$4,092 is the near-term floor.

Pullback within consolidation, momentum down · RSI 42 · price 4,114.74

Lower highs off 4202, testing 4100 base.

Gold slipped for a second day after twin rejections at the 4200-4202 weekly cap, breaking below EMA20 into the NY session with the intraday low tagging 4092. RSI in the low-40s reflects the pullback but no divergence, and price is now grinding back off the 4100 round number. Resistance at 4145 (EMA20) is the first level to reclaim before 4172 comes back into view.

Support: 4,100.00, 4,092.00, 4,000.00

Uptrend faded, rolling over lower · RSI 35 · price 4,097.43

Lower highs off $4,200 double top.

Gold's post-NFP rally stalled at a $4,200 double top late last week, and H1 has since printed lower highs and rolled over, breaking the $4,116 pivot into the NY session as a firmer USD and higher yields capped the metal. Price now trades sub-EMA(20/50) around $4,097, near the 61.8% retrace of the week's advance with RSI(14) near 35. Session low at $4,092 is the near-term line before the $4,060 prior range.

Range breaking lower, momentum down · RSI 34 · price 4,097.43

Broke below 4100 range floor.

Gold spent most of the week boxed between 4100 and 4200 after Friday's NFP-driven rebound off the 4028 low, with 4202 capping two attempts. The NY session sold the metal through the 4100 floor to 4092 before a shallow bounce to 4097, pushing RSI(14) toward 33 and price below both EMAs. The break of the range low marks the first lower-low of the week.

Support: 4,092.40, 4,000.00

Resistance: 4,150.00
