Fundamental Analysis
Gold remains under bearish pressure as the market focuses on key USD events this week, including the Federal Funds Rate, FOMC Economic Projections, FOMC Statement, and the FOMC Press Conference.
These events may create strong volatility for XAUUSD. If the Fed tone supports USD strength or keeps rate expectations tight, gold may continue to face selling pressure on recovery attempts.
Technical Analysis
On the 4H chart, XAUUSD is still moving inside a descending channel. EMA 34, EMA 89, and EMA 200 remain above price, confirming that the main trend is still bearish.
Price is currently trading around 4,218 after a short-term recovery from the lower area. However, this bounce is moving toward the Fibonacci value zone and EMA resistance area around 4,240 - 4,280.
This zone is important because it aligns with the 0.236 - 0.382 Fibonacci retracement, the EMA range, previous broken structure, and channel pressure. If price rejects from this area, sellers may regain control.
The key bearish confirmation level is 4,170. A clean break below this level would strengthen the downside continuation toward 4,026. If bearish momentum expands further, the weekly goal remains the Fibonacci Extension 1.618 zone around 3,813 - 3,815.

Sell Condition
The preferred setup is to wait for gold to pull back into the 4,240 - 4,280 Fibonacci value zone. This area aligns with the EMA sell range, descending channel pressure, and previous broken structure.
A sell setup becomes more valid if price forms bearish rejection from this zone, such as a long upper wick, bearish engulfing candle, failed breakout, or lower high below the EMA structure.
If price rejects from the sell zone and breaks below 4,170, the bearish continuation view becomes stronger. The next reaction level is 4,026, followed by the weekly Fibonacci Extension target around 3,813 - 3,815.
Entry Conditions
Wait for price to retest 4,240 - 4,280.
Look for bearish rejection before entering sell.
A break below 4,170 confirms stronger bearish pressure.
Be careful with FOMC volatility this week.
If price breaks and holds above 4,370, the sell setup is invalid.
Overall, the main view remains bearish while XAUUSD trades below the EMA structure and inside the descending channel. The preferred plan is to wait for a pullback into the Fibonacci value zone, then look for sell confirmation toward 4,170, 4,026, and the weekly Fibonacci Extension zone around 3,813 - 3,815.
Do you share the same bearish view on gold, or are you waiting for FOMC confirmation before taking a position?
