Downtrend, corrective bounce · RSI 56 · price 4,130.64
Lower highs since April, $4000 base holding.
Gold has been in a downtrend since the mid-April peak near 4889, grinding through a chain of lower highs into the June low at 3959 and holding below the D1 EMA(50). The $4,000 psychological floor has been repeatedly defended, and this week's ~2.5% recovery — the best in three months, driven by US-Iran safe-haven flows and short-covering — has lifted price back above EMA(20) to 4130. Rallies remain capped into the 4140-4185 band that has rejected every attempt.
Support: 4,076.00, 4,000.00, 3,959.00
Resistance: 4,185.00
What it said to watch
- Daily close above 4185 opens the path back toward 4200+
- Failure to hold 4000/4076 confirms a fresh lower low
- S&P Global flash PMIs Fri 24 Jul could reinforce the hawkish-yield read and pressure gold

Downtrend, bounce underway · RSI 48 · price 4,130.64
Lower highs / lower lows, basing near 4000.
Multi-month downtrend off the early-April peak near 4889, price trading below a falling EMA(50) since the May breakdown. The last two weeks show buyers repeatedly defending the 4000 psychological floor, with a best-week-in-three-months bounce that market context frames as short-covering rather than fresh conviction. Rally stalled into 4185 resistance and price has settled back near 4130, still capped below the descending trend.
Support: 4,076.00, 4,000.00, 3,959.00
Resistance: 4,185.00, 4,200.00
What it said to watch
- Daily close above 4185-4200 would break the lower-high sequence
- Failure to hold 4076/4000 reopens the 3959 swing low
- S&P Global flash PMIs Fri 24 Jul could shift the USD/yield read
