However, the recent rejection from the 5300\u20135350 region triggered a corrective phase, with price forming a sequence of lower highs on the H4 timeframe, confirming short-term bearish pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Price is now attempting to base above the <strong>4980\u20135000<\/strong> demand zone, but the structure has not yet shifted decisively bullish on higher timeframes, with sellers still controlling the market below key resistance levels.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key Resistance Zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The nearest resistance is located at <strong>5025 \u2013 5050<\/strong>, which aligns with recent consolidation and moving average resistance on lower timeframes.<br \/>\nA recovery into this zone is likely to face selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Additional resistance levels:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5080 \u2013 5100<\/strong> (previous breakdown structure on H1\/H4)<\/li>\n<li><strong>5150 \u2013 5180<\/strong> (major supply zone and prior distribution area)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As long as price remains below <strong>5050<\/strong>, the short-term bearish structure remains intact.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key Support Zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Immediate support is seen at <strong>4980 \u2013 5000<\/strong>, where price is currently attempting to hold and form a base.<\/p>\n<p>A breakdown below this zone would expose further downside targets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>4950<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>4900 \u2013 4920<\/strong> (key structural support on H4)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A sustained move below <strong>4900<\/strong> would confirm a deeper corrective phase within the higher timeframe uptrend.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Expectations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Bearish Scenario (Primary)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The current structure favors continued downside as long as price remains below <strong>5050<\/strong>.<br \/>\nFailure to hold above <strong>5000<\/strong> would likely trigger another leg lower toward <strong>4950<\/strong>, followed by <strong>4900<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bullish Scenario (Alternative)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A break and sustained move above <strong>5050<\/strong> would signal short-term strength, opening the door for a recovery toward:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5080 \u2013 5100<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>5150+<\/strong> (if momentum strengthens)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, bullish continuation requires reclaiming higher timeframe structure, which is not yet confirmed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Outlook<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Gold remains under <strong>short-term bearish pressure<\/strong> despite maintaining a broader bullish structure on the daily timeframe. Sellers are currently in control below 5050, and a break below 5000 could accelerate the decline toward deeper support levels.
