XAUUSD: Bearish Trendline Continues to Cap Recovery Momentum

165
XAUUSD has bounced off the support zone around 3,960–3,980, but the current rebound is insufficient to alter the bearish structure on the H4 timeframe. Prices remain below the descending trendline—which has repeatedly triggered selling pressure—while the area above is further reinforced by the Ichimoku Cloud and a resistance zone around 4,087–4,094.

Notably, recent highs have been progressively lower. Whenever gold approaches the bearish trendline, buying momentum quickly fades and sellers step back in. This suggests the current rally is likely just a technical rebound following the sharp decline, rather than a confirmed reversal signal.

On the macroeconomic front, gold remains under pressure from the US dollar and US bond yields, which are holding at elevated levels ahead of inflation data. Rising oil prices have also fueled concerns that the Fed may need to maintain a hawkish monetary policy for longer, thereby increasing the opportunity cost of holding gold.

If the price rallies to the 4,087–4,094 range but fails to secure a firm close above the bearish trendline, selling pressure could drive XAUUSD back toward the 3,953.7 level. This is a critical support level and a clear downside target on the chart.

Suggested Strategy: Sell around 4,087–4,094 upon signs of rejection; Take Profit (TP) at 3,953.7; invalidate the trade if the price closes above 4,110 on the H4 timeframe.
