Gold Fights to Hold Ground as Jobs Data Looms 11/2/2026

Gold prices (XAU/USD) traded sideways within a narrow range during the previous session, remaining stable above the $5,000 level and capped below $5,088, reflecting a temporary pause as the market awaits fresh catalysts.

Technical Outlook – 4-Hour Chart

Daily Trend: Bullish
The broader daily trend remains firmly bullish, supported by sustained trading above the $5,000 level, which has turned into a pivotal support zone following the breakout.

On the intraday level, gold witnessed a mild pullback as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) moved into overbought territory and is now attempting to rebuild positive momentum. This behavior is consistent with a healthy consolidation rather than a trend reversal.

Simple moving averages continue to provide strong dynamic support, preserving the short-term upward structure. A minor bullish sub-wave remains dominant in the immediate timeframe, reinforcing the positive bias.

Likely Scenario

The bullish bias is expected to remain in control during today’s session. A confirmed break above the $5,086 level would strengthen upside momentum and open the way toward $5,128, followed by $5,145 as the next initial targets.

On the downside, a return to trading below the $5,000 level would increase downside risks and could trigger a corrective move toward $4,970 and then $4,910 before the next directional assessment.

Market Note:
High-impact U.S. economic data is due today, including the Non-Farm Payrolls report, the unemployment rate, and average hourly earnings. Elevated volatility is expected around the release.

Risk Warnings:

  • Gold trading carries a relatively high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
  • Ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions continue to heighten uncertainty, keeping all scenarios possible.
