Gold (XAU/USD) prices traded sideways in a narrow range during the previous session, fluctuating between support at 4770 and resistance at 4830, indicating a wait-and-see approach before a clearer direction emerges.
Technical Outlook – 4-Hour Timeframe:
In the short term, prices experienced some corrective selling pressure as they entered overbought territory, attempting to absorb the upward momentum. However, the price remains above the 50-day simple moving average and above a corrective upward trend line, reinforcing the positive short-term outlook.
Likely Scenario:
As long as we do not see a clear break below the 4740 support level, the possibility of an upward rebound remains. Breaking through the 4830 resistance level could strengthen the positive momentum, pushing prices towards:
- 4870 as a primary target
- 4885 as an extended objective
Conversely, a return to trading and stabilization below the key support level of 4740 could reignite selling pressure on prices, with potential targets at:
- 4689 as an initial target
- 4650 as the next level
Note: Today, we are awaiting high-impact economic data from the US economy, specifically retail sales figures for March. We may witness significant price volatility around the time of the release.
Caution: The risk level is high amid ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions, and all scenarios remain possible. Trading gold involves high risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
