XAUUSD | Daily Technical Outlook<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Market Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n

XAUUSD is undergoing a corrective pullback after failing to sustain its recent bullish breakout. The strong rejection from the highs triggered aggressive selling pressure, pushing price back below a key support-turned-resistance zone.
\nThe recent decline has shifted short-term momentum to the downside, with price now testing a critical support area around 4,940\u20134,950<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Key Resistance Zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The nearest resistance stands at 4,990 \u2013 5,020<\/strong>, a former support area that now acts as supply.
\nAdditional resistance levels:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 5,080<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 5,150<\/strong> (major rejection zone)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    As long as gold trades below 5,020<\/strong>, upside attempts may face renewed selling pressure.<\/p>\n

    Key Support Zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Immediate support is located at 4,920 \u2013 4,940<\/strong>, where price is currently attempting to stabilize.<\/p>\n

    A breakdown below 4,920 would expose lower downside targets:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 4,850<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • 4,750 \u2013 4,780<\/strong> (major structural support)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      A failure to hold 4,750<\/strong> would signal a deeper corrective phase.<\/p>\n

      Expectations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Bearish Scenario (Primary)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Momentum currently favors further downside while price remains below 5,020.
      \nA sustained move below 4,920 could accelerate the decline toward 4,850, with potential extension toward 4,750.<\/p>\n

      Bullish Scenario (Alternative)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      A recovery above 5,020<\/strong> would signal renewed buying interest, opening the door toward:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • 5,080<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • 5,150<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Reclaiming 5,150<\/strong> would restore stronger bullish momentum.<\/p>\n

        Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Gold is facing short-term downside pressure following a sharp rejection from the highs. The structure remains vulnerable below 5,020<\/strong>, and a break under 4,920<\/strong> could trigger further weakness, while a recovery above resistance would be needed to shift sentiment back to bullish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
