📊 XAUUSD ANALYSIS – 16 APR 2026

Gold has tested the 4836 – 4882 resistance zone and is now showing signs of rejection, leading to a corrective move and consolidation.

At the moment, price is forming a broad sideways range between 4761 – 4836, indicating a decision phase in the market.

This range will be critical in determining the next major move:
➡️ Breakout = continuation of bullish structure
➡️ Rejection = deeper correction

On H4, structure remains neutral-to-bullish, but momentum is slowing after resistance reaction.
