🏆[Weekly] Gold Update: Key Support Under Pressure

Bearish momentum is building. After a sharp fall earlier this month, gold is struggling to defend its critical support levels. Here is your quick breakdown.

🔷 Technical Overview

🟢 Daily chart (XAUUSD): Still in a clear medium-term downtrend from early-2026 peaks. Current price: $4,155.40. It sits between the 20-day middle Bollinger Band ($4,356.74) and the lower support band ($4,076.57). Daily RSI = 35.57 — bearish pressure remains strong.

🟢 4-Hour chart: After hitting a multi-month low near $4,023, buyers stepped in to defend. It is consolidating at $4,155.40 now, just above the 4-hour lower band ($4,120.81). RSI is at 36.86, deeply oversold, which could signal a short-term bounce.

🔷 Fundamental Drivers

🟢 Sticky inflation and hawkish Fed: U.S. CPI rose to 4.2% year-on-year, dashing hopes for rate cuts soon. Higher-for-longer rates raise the cost of holding non-interest-bearing gold, limiting gains.

🟢 Institutional shift: Singapore launched a major OTC gold clearing system supported by JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank. This improves long-term liquidity and Asian trading infrastructure but the short term prices remain driven by macro headwinds.

🔷What this means for you

$4,100 is the key level. If prices break below the daily lower band ($4,076), a fast drop toward $3800-$4,000 becomes likely.
