Corrective, range-bound · RSI 51 · price 4,120.08
Consolidation between 4040 and 4202 after June selloff.
Gold has stabilised into a corrective range between 4040 and 4202 after the mid-June flush bottomed near 3960; price is pinned at the 4100 pivot with EMA20 and EMA50 flattening and coiling together. ATR(14) is compressing off the selloff extremes, and a sequence of lower highs from 4202 sits against the 4040 base. The market context flags this as relief-driven with an oil/CPI overhang capping upside.
Support: 4,040.00, 4,021.00
Resistance: 4,160.00, 4,202.00
What it said to watch
- US CPI Tue 12:30 UTC and Warsh testimony could materially shift this read
- H4 close below 4040 confirms a lower low toward the 4021 weekly low
- Reclaim of 4160 prior high needed to challenge the 4202 range high

Corrective rebound, momentum flat · RSI 51 · price 4,120.08
Recovered off 3959 low, higher lows into consolidation.
Gold sold off hard from the 4382 peak to a 3959 low as the US-Iran flare-up spiked oil and revived Fed hike bets, then staged a relief bounce back above 4100 and up to 4202. Price is now consolidating in a 4072-4140 band with a series of higher lows off the low, and ATR remains elevated after the recent expansion. RSI near 51 reflects the balanced, corrective tone below the March-high trendline.
Support: 4,072.00, 4,021.00, 3,959.00
Resistance: 4,140.00, 4,202.00
What it said to watch
- US CPI Tue 12:30 UTC + Warsh testimony 14:00 UTC can materially shift this read
- H4 close above 4140 swing high reopens the path to the 4202 prior high
- Failure to hold 4021 weekly low reopens the 3959 range low
