20:03 UTC

Recovery off lows, momentum flattening · RSI 54 · price 4,210.31

Basing then consolidating after sharp selloff.

Gold based near the $4,023 YTD low midweek and has clawed back into a $4,186–$4,246 consolidation, a corrective bounce after a ~$320 three-day selloff on hot CPI and higher-for-longer Fed pricing. Price is hovering at the H1 EMA20 with RSI mid-range; the 4246 recovery high capped the last NY-session push, while 4226 aligns with the 61.8% fib of the selloff. Demand has stepped in repeatedly around the 4186 swing low.

Support: 4,186.00, 4,147.00

Resistance: 4,226.00, 4,246.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 4246 recovery high extends the corrective bounce
  • Failure to hold the 4186 swing low reopens downside toward 4147 prior low
  • FOMC dot plot Jun 17 is the week's pivotal catalyst and could override this read

20:03 UTC

Recovery off lows, momentum flattening · RSI 56 · price 4,210.31

Rebound consolidating below recovery high.

Gold has clawed back from this week's YTD low near 4023 to 4246 after US-Iran de-escalation knocked the USD off its highs, and price is now consolidating in a 4188-4243 band. It holds above EMA20 with RSI cycling in the mid-50s, but the recovery high at 4243 has capped the latest push. The broader week remains a sharp decline from Monday's 4340 open, so this is a corrective rebound into the FOMC week.

Support: 4,188.00, 4,170.00

Resistance: 4,243.00

What it said to watch

  • Close above 4243 opens the path back toward the 4250 area
  • Failure to hold 4188 then 4170 breaks the recovery higher-low sequence
  • FOMC dot plot Jun 17 18:00 UTC and Retail Sales 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read
  • Weekend US-Iran MoU headline risk into the next session

19:04 UTC

Recovery off YTD low, momentum slowing · RSI 61 · price 4,215.65

Consolidation below week recovery high.

Gold rebounded roughly $200 from the YTD low near $4,036 across Thursday and Friday as Iran de-escalation knocked the USD off its highs. Price has since stalled into a tight consolidation between the 4186 swing low and the 4246 week high, with RSif(14) cooling from its recovery peak while holding above EMA(20). The 4235 recent high and 4246 week high cap the topside; supply has steadied moves there into the weekend.

Support: 4,186.46

Resistance: 4,246.47

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 4246 week high opens the path toward the 4250 psych cap
  • Failure to hold 4186 swing low confirms a lower-low and reopens 4124
  • FOMC dot plot and Retail Sales on Jun 17 could materially shift this read

19:03 UTC

Recovery off ytd low, momentum slowing · RSI 57 · price 4,215.65

Higher highs and higher lows since the 4023 base.

Gold has clawed back from the 4023 ytd low toward 4246 after US-Iran de-escalation knocked the USD off its highs, carving a sequence of higher lows through the back half of the week. Price now consolidates near 4215, holding above EMA(20) with RSI(14) cycling in the mid-50s as the 4235–4246 zone caps the recovery. The macro backdrop stays heavy into next week's FOMC.

Support: 4,186.00

Resistance: 4,246.47

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 4186 breaks the higher-low structure
  • Rejection vs break of the 4235–4246 zone defines the recovery's reach
  • FOMC dot plot Jun 17 18:00 UTC is the pivotal catalyst and could reshape this read

18:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce · RSI 61 · price 4,221.58

Recovery off week's low, consolidating under fib.

Gold spent Mon-Thu in a brutal downtrend off the ~4363 week high to a 4036/4023 double bottom after the hot 4.2% CPI print revived hawkish-Fed bets and broke the prior structure. Friday's Iran de-escalation headline drove a sharp bounce that reclaimed EMA20 and EMA50, stalling at the 4246 week high and now coiling near the 61.8% fib of the selloff around 4233. RSI(14) has cycled back above 60, with bullish divergence at the lows preceding the turn.

Support: 4,173.00, 4,124.00

Resistance: 4,233.00, 4,246.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 4246 week high opens path toward the 4290 region
  • Failure to hold the 4173 swing low reopens downside toward the 4124 prior low
  • Weekend US-Iran MoU headline risk and Wed FOMC dot-plot could materially shift this read

18:03 UTC

Recovery off the lows, momentum slowing · RSI 59 · price 4,221.58

Higher lows since Thursday, capped near 4246.

Gold has clawed back from the YTD low near 4023 set Thursday, grinding higher through the NY sessions to retest 4246 twice before stalling around 4220. Price sits above both EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI cycling in the upper-50s, but the move reads corrective after the week's ~400-point selloff. Resistance at 4246 has capped each push, and the latest bars are coiling just beneath it.

Support: 4,170.00, 4,100.00

Resistance: 4,246.00, 4,250.00

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 4246 opens the path toward the 4250 cap
  • Failure to hold 4170 reopens downside toward 4100
  • Weekend US-Iran MoU headline risk could gap this read on the open
  • FOMC dot plot Wed is the week's pivotal catalyst for USD and gold

17:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce · RSI 56 · price 4,216.84

Rebound off 4023 low, higher lows holding.

Gold cratered ~$340 from 4363 into the 4023 low mid-week as the hot 4.2% CPI print revived Fed-hawkish bets and a firmer dollar. Price has since clawed back above EMA(20) and EMA(50), tracing higher lows off 4023 with RSI(14) recovering toward 56 — a corrective rebound off oversold rather than a trend turn. The 4235–4246 band has capped the bounce while buyers keep defending the 4186 area.

Support: 4,186.00, 4,150.00

Resistance: 4,235.00, 4,246.00, 4,363.00

  • Weekend US-Iran MoU headline risk is immediate

17:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce · RSI 56 · price 4,216.84

Recovering off YTD low, consolidating under 4246.

Gold rebounded sharply from the YTD low near 4024 into 4246 after US-Iran de-escalation hopes knocked the USD off its highs, and has since drifted back to 4216, holding above EMA20 and EMA50 through the recovery. The 4246 swing high has capped the bounce while RSI cycles in the mid-50s, leaving price boxed between the 50% and 61.8% retracement of this week's 4363-4024 selloff. Demand has stepped in repeatedly around 4170 since the turn.

Support: 4,170.00, 4,131.00, 4,082.00

Resistance: 4,246.47, 4,290.00

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold 4170 reopens 4131 and the lower base at 4082
  • FOMC dot plot Jun 17 and weekend US-Iran MoU headlines are the dominant risks to this read

16:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce off lows · RSI 56 · price 4,212.54

Recovery off YTD low, consolidating below 4246.

Gold has clawed back from the YTD low near 4023 to 4246 over the past two sessions after US-Iran de-escalation knocked the USD off its highs, a corrective bounce within this week's broader downtrend. Price has since stalled and is consolidating roughly 4173-4246, holding above a reclaimed EMA(20) with RSI(14) cycling back near 56. The 4235/4246 zone has capped two recovery attempts.

Support: 4,173.00, 4,130.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,235.00, 4,246.00, 4,250.00

  • Weekend US-Iran MoU headline risk and FOMC dot plot Wed could materially shift this read

16:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce in play · RSI 57 · price 4,212.54

Sharp selloff then recovery off the lows.

Gold collapsed from the week's high near 4340 to the YTD low at 4023 on hot CPI/PPI and a firmer USD, then rebounded sharply into the 4246 swing high after US-Iran de-escalation headlines knocked the dollar off its peak. Price has since drifted back to 4212, holding above EMA20 with RSI cycling mid-range; the rebound looks corrective against the broader downtrend. A bullish RSI divergence printed at the 4023 low as selling exhausted.

Support: 4,173.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,246.00, 4,340.00

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close below 4173 swing low confirms a fresh lower-low and stalls the recovery

  • FOMC dot-plot Wed and weekend US-Iran MoU headline risk can materially shift this read

15:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce · RSI 53 · price 4,207.10

Lower high after sharp markdown, basing.

Gold sold off roughly $400 from Monday's ~4363 area to a six-month low near 4023 as hot CPI and firm yields cemented higher-for-longer Fed pricing. The Iran de-escalation headline sparked an oversold bounce into the NY session to ~4246, but price has since faded back to 4207 and is holding just above EMA(20). The week's supply band at 4246-4250 capped the recovery, leaving a lower high against the broader markdown.

Support: 4,173.00, 4,082.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,246.00, 4,250.00, 4,332.00

What it said to watch

15:03 UTC

Recovery off lows, momentum flattening · RSI 53 · price 4,207.10

Range after crash, coiling near EMA20.

Gold sheared ~$400 to a six-month low near 4023 on Wednesday's hot 4.2% CPI print, then squeezed back on US-Iran de-escalation headlines. Since the bounce, H1 has carved a 4170-4246 range with price now coiling on EMA20 around 4200 and RSI sitting neutral near 53. The 4220-4246 band has capped the recovery while demand has stepped in twice above 4170.

Support: 4,170.00, 4,082.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,220.00, 4,246.00, 4,332.00

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 4246 reopens the 4332 prior-high area
  • Failure to hold 4170 reasserts the downtrend toward 4082 then 4023
  • FOMC dot plot Jun 17 18:00 UTC is the dominant catalyst and could break this range

14:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce stalling · RSI 47 · price 4,192.53

Bounce off 4023 fading into lower highs.

Gold collapsed ~$400 this week after the hot 4.2% CPI print revived higher-for-longer Fed bets, breaking to a 6-month low near 4023 before short-covering on Iran peace headlines lifted it back to 4246. Since that NY-session bounce, price has carved lower highs and is now consolidating either side of the 4200 psychological mark, holding above the 4170 swing low but unable to reclaim 4220. RSI(14) has cooled back to neutral as the recovery loses steam below EMA20.

Support: 4,170.00, 4,131.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,220.00, 4,246.00

  • H1 close above 4220 needed to revive the bounce toward 4246

14:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce stalling · RSI 48 · price 4,192.53

Recovery off 6-mo low, capped below 4246.

A brutal week: the in-line-to-hot US CPI and hot PPI revived hawkish-Fed bets and drove a ~$320 collapse from 4346 to a 6-month low near 4023 before Iran peace headlines sparked a recovery bounce to 4246. Price has since flat-lined in a 4170–4246 band, holding above EMA(50) but stalling under the 4200 psychological level and the week high, with RSI(14) easing back to neutral. The bounce looks corrective against the dominant downtrend rather than a structural reversal.

Support: 4,170.00, 4,082.00, 4,023.00

Resistance: 4,200.00, 4,246.00

What it said to watch

  • Michigan Consumer Sentiment + UoM inflation expectations at 14:00 UTC could materially shift this read
  • H1 close above 4246 week high would extend the recovery toward higher retracement
  • Loss of 4170 swing low reopens the path to 4082 and the 4023 6-mo low
  • US-Iran de-escalation headlines could unwind the bounce's safe-haven support

13:04 UTC

Recovery off lows, momentum stalling · RSI 49 · price 4,187.19

V-bounce now consolidating under week high.

Gold carved a V-shaped recovery off the $4,023 six-month low after Trump cancelled the Iran strikes, short-covering up to a week high near $4,246 before fading. Price is now consolidating in the 4170–4220 band, pinned around EMA(20) with RSI(14) back near the midline after the bounce stretched it. The move remains relief-driven against the hot-CPI, higher-yields backdrop, leaving rallies capped under the week high.

13:04 UTC

Downtrend, sharp relief bounce · RSI 48 · price 4,187.19

V-bounce off 4023, pulling back from 4246 high.

Gold cratered mid-week to a 6-month low near 4023 after the hot 4.2% CPI print cemented higher-for-longer Fed pricing, then staged a near-3.5% V-shaped recovery to 4246 on Trump's cancelled Iran strikes. Price has since faded from that peak, with 4220 capping the last attempt and RSI(14) cooling back toward 47 as the bounce stalls just above the EMA(20). The recovery off 4023 holds for now, but momentum has flattened into the NY session.

Range after sharp selloff.

Gold cratered from the 4340s to a six-month low near 4023 through Wednesday-Thursday's NY hours on hot CPI/PPI, then snapped back to a 4246 week high as Iran-strike cancellation knocked the dollar. Price has since coiled into a 4170-4246 range, holding higher lows off the bottom with RSI(14) recovered to mid-range. The 4220 recent high is capping the latest attempt while the 4170 day low marks the range floor.

Six-month low reclaimed, consolidating below recovery high.

Gold cratered ~$340 from Tuesday's $4,363 high to a six-month low near $4,024 as hot CPI/PPI cemented higher-for-longer Fed pricing. The metal has since clawed back the $4,200 handle, peaking at $4,246 on the Iran de-escalation USD pullback, and now holds above EMA20 with RSI cycling mid-range. The $4,170–$4,246 band is framing the consolidation after the rebound stalled.

Higher lows off the week low, capped at 4246.

Hot US CPI/PPI this week crushed gold ~$400 to a six-month low near 4036 before a USD-relief bounce, tied to Trump calling off Iran strikes, reclaimed the 4200s. Price now sits above EMA20 with RSI recovered off oversold, building higher lows since the bottom. The 4246 week recovery high has capped the advance, with 4170 holding the recent pullbacks.

Consolidation after sharp bounce off 4023 low.

Gold collapsed to a six-month low near 4023 midweek on the hot CPI/PPI inflation read, then snapped back toward the 4246 week high as the Iran-strike cancellation sank USD. Price has since coiled into a 4170-4246 consolidation, holding above EMA20 with RSI(14) cycling back into the mid-50s. The recovery off the 4023 psych low has carved out higher lows, but the prior 4290 high still caps the broader picture.

Gold collapsed roughly $400 this week from Monday's 4300 open to a six-month low near 4023 on hot CPI/PPI and hawkish-Fed repricing. The metal snapped back into the 4200s after Trump canceled Iran strikes and the USD softened, breaking above the 4080-4110 base and capping at the 4246 bounce high. Price now holds above EMA20 with RSI mid-60s; the pullback to the 4170 base was bought back toward 4220.

Price has reclaimed EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) recovering into the low-60s, but the 4246 week high capped the latest NY push. The 4170 intraday floor has held the most recent pullback.

Sharp selloff, basing off 4023 low.

The week was dominated by a violent selloff from ~4346 to a six-month low near 4023 as hot CPI/PPI prints firmed the USD; gold then snapped back to ~4246 during the NY session after Trump canceled planned Iran strikes and the dollar softened. Price now consolidates between 4170 and the 4246 week high, holding above a recovering EMA20 with RSI(14) mid-range near 59.

Six-month low set, recovering into prior breakdown zone.

Gold collapsed from Monday's ~4292 open to a six-month low near 4023 as hot US CPI/PPI cemented higher-for-longer Fed pricing, then snapped back through the NY session as Iran de-escalation and a softer USD drove a relief bid toward 4246. Price now consolidates the 4170–4246 recovery range, holding above the rising EMA20/EMA50 with RSI cycling back near 60. The 4246 week high capped the latest push, and 4100 — which capped bounces earlier in the week — sits below as the next reference.

Higher lows off the 4023 low, capped under 4246.

Gold was crushed ~$400 this week into a six-month low near 4023 on hot CPI/PPI and a firmer USD, then snapped back into yesterday's NY session toward 4246 as Trump canceled Iran strikes and the dollar sagged. Price is now stalling right on the 50% retrace of the weekly down impulse around 4193, with the 4220 prior high and 4246 week high capping the rebound. RSI(14) has cycled back to the mid-50s as price holds above EMA20 and EMA50 on the bounce.

Price now sits at 4193, the 50% retrace of that down-move, holding above a rising EMA20 (~4170) with RSI cycling mid-range.

Week downtrend, relief bounce off lows · RSI 54 · price 4,183.05

Recovered off cycle low, consolidating.

Gold sold off all week from Monday's 4317 open down to a 4023 cycle low through Wednesday's NY session, then short-covered sharply to 4246 into yesterday's NY hours as Iran de-escalation and a softer USD eased pressure. Price is now consolidating in the mid-4100s, holding above the EMA20 with RSI(14) cycling back to neutral after the bounce. The week high near 4246 capped the recovery and remains the level to watch overhead.

Downtrend, oversold bounce fading · RSI 49 · price 4,177.34

Six-month low then sharp recovery, now pulling back.

Gold was gutted this week from ~4340 Monday to a six-month low at 4023 after the hot CPI and firm USD/yields wiped out YTD gains, before a steep oversold recovery into the NY session lifted it to a week high at 4246. That bounce was rejected and price has since rolled back toward 4177, holding above EMA(20) (~4150) with RSI(14) cycling back to neutral. The 4100 cap that capped earlier rallies now sits below price as the recovery's first test of demand.

Downtrend, oversold bounce fading · RSI 49 · price 4,177.34

Based at 4023, recovery stalling under 4246.

Gold was gutted from ~4346 to a fresh six-month low at 4023 after the hot CPI print, then staged an oversold bounce into the NY session that tagged 4246 before fading back to 4177. RSI(14) printed a higher low against the 4023 print on the way down, and price now sits above a recovering EMA(20), but the 4246 swing high has capped the rebound. Net structure remains the week's downtrend with a counter-trend recovery losing steam under resistance.

Downtrend, corrective bounce underway · RSI 53 · price 4,192.10

Lower lows into 4023, recovering off the base.

Gold gutted roughly $300 across this week's window to a six-month low at 4023 before an oversold bounce reclaimed the 4100 area, helped by softer-than-feared core PPI. Price now consolidates near 4190, holding above EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) recovered to the low-50s. The 4246 swing high capped the recovery, while higher-lows off 4023 keep the bounce intact.

Downtrend, oversold bounce underway · RSI 54 · price 4,192.10

Six-month low printed, recovery stalling under 4243.

Gold collapsed to a six-month low at 4023 this week as a hot CPI print and Iran-driven USD strength erased YTD gains, then staged a sharp oversold bounce that reclaimed EMA20 and EMA50. The recovery topped at 4243 in yesterday's NY session before rejection, and price has since coiled into consolidation around 4190 with RSI cycling mid-range. Demand has held the 4131 swing low through the pullback.

Downtrend, oversold bounce underway · RSI 58 · price 4,194.45

Higher lows off 4036 within larger weekly decline.

Gold was gutted through midweek after the in-line CPI and hot headline PPI prints, bottoming near the 4036 six-month low before a sharp oversold bounce reclaimed EMA20 and ran to 4246. Since that recovery high price has stalled, slipping back to 4194 and consolidating between the 4170 pullback shelf and the 4246 week high. RSI(14) has cycled out of oversold into the mid-50s, but the bounce sits inside a still-dominant weekly downtrend.

Downtrend, oversold bounce · RSI 53 · price 4,194.45

Lower lows into 4023, recovery stalling near 4246.

Gold collapsed roughly $340 across this week's window — wiping out 2026 gains after the hot CPI print — bottoming twice near 4023-4036 before an oversold bounce reclaimed the EMA(20). The recovery ran into supply at 4246 in the prior session and has since faded back to the 4194 area, sitting on the 50% retrace of the down-leg. RSI(14) has cycled back to neutral from deeply oversold, but price remains under the broader bearish structure.

Lower lows into 4023, recovery reclaiming 4100.

Gold was gutted ~$320 this week to a six-month low at 4023 as a hot CPI/PPI run crushed rate-cut hopes, before an oversold bounce reclaimed the 4100 cap and pushed to 4246. Price has since faded back to 4191, holding above EMA20 with RSI cycling back to neutral after the rebound off the lows. The 4246 bounce high capped the recovery and remains the level to clear to extend it.

Weekly downtrend, oversold bounce underway · RSI 52 · price 4,191.84

Higher lows off the 4023 low.

Gold carved a six-month low at 4023 mid-week before basing under 4100, then broke higher into the 4243 recovery high as softer-than-feared core PPI (4.9% vs 5.4%) eased some pressure. Price has since pulled back to 4191, retesting the broken 4170-4100 zone with RSI(14) cycling back to neutral near 52. The 4243 area capped the bounce and 4100 has flipped from cap to support after the base broke.

Week-long markdown, recovering off lows.

Gold was gutted all week from the 4317 open down to a 4023 six-month low as hot CPI and firm USD crushed rate-cut hopes. The last two sessions delivered a sharp oversold bounce that reclaimed up to the 4246 week high before fading back to 4185, now hovering just above the rising EMA20. RSI(14) has recovered to the low-50s, easing the prior oversold condition.

Lower lows into 4023, recovering.

Gold shed roughly $400 across the week to a six-month low at 4023 as hot CPI and a firm USD crushed rate-cut hopes. A sharp oversold bounce in the NY session yesterday reclaimed the broken 4100 cap and stretched to 4246 before stalling; price has since pulled back to 4185, holding above the rising EMA(20). RSI(14) has cycled back near the midline after working off deeply oversold readings.

Downtrend, oversold bounce · RSI 55 · price 4,202.91

Sharp recovery off 4036 YTD low within broader lower lows.

Gold cratered over $300 across the week on hot CPI and a blowout May payrolls print, bottoming near 4036 before a softer core PPI helped fuel a sharp NY-session recovery toward 4246. Price now sits at 4202 after fading that high, holding above the rising EMA(20) with RSI(14) lifting off oversold and having traced a higher low against the 4036 print. The broader structure remains lower lows; this is an oversold bounce inside a downtrend, capped so far below 4246.

Counter-trend recovery off the week low.

Gold cratered over $400 this week on the hot CPI/jobs repricing, bottoming near 4036 before an oversold bounce — helped by softer core PPI (4.9% vs 5.4%) keeping the USD on the back foot. Price reclaimed 4100 and ran to 4246 in the NY session before easing back to 4202, now holding above EMA(20) with RSI cycling back above 55. The 4246 bounce high has capped the recovery so far while the broader regime stays bearish below the week's open at 4340.

Downtrend, sharp recovery bounce underway · RSI 62 · price 4,215.97

V-recovery off week's low retracing the crash.

Gold staged a steep V-recovery off the week's low near 4024 after a >$400 crash on hot CPI and blowout payrolls, helped late by a softer core PPI print keeping the USD on the defensive. The bounce reclaimed EMA20 and EMA50 into the last session, with RSI cycling out of oversold toward the low-60s. Price is now testing the 50–61.8% retracement of the crash; the move stalled at 4246, consistent with rallies being capped per the broader bearish tone.

Higher lows off ytd low.

Gold staged a sharp recovery from the fresh YTD low near 4046 — set during Asia hours after a >$400 three-day rout — clawing back through 4100 and the 4170 breakout into a 4246 session high before easing to 4216. The bounce came as softer core PPI (4.9% vs 5.4%) kept the USD on the defensive; RSI(14) has cycled up out of oversold and price now sits above both EMA20 and EMA50. Each pullback this session has found higher lows.
