🧭 Key Economic Events This Week 🧭
Markets will be highly volatile ahead of the following US macro data releases:
⚡Housing Data & Fed Official Speeches: Provide an initial glimpse into the health of the domestic economy.
⚡Q4 2025 GDP: Will confirm whether the US economy is truly cooling as the central bank expects.
⚡Key Focus: Core PCE Price Index (Friday): This Fed-favorite inflation gauge will be the final "verdict" on the direction of interest rates and gold prices this week.
✅ Key Levels to Watch for Gold
Key Levels to Watch for Gold (XAU/USD) based on the technical structure of the 1-hour chart as of Wednesday, February 18, 2026:
⚡Key Defense (200-SMA - $4,833.48): As long as the price holds above this level, the long-term bullish bias remains intact. A close below this level would be a serious warning signal for investors as it could trigger a mass sell-off towards the $4,700 area.
⚡Recovery Confirmation Zone ($5,000 - $5,050): Despite the rebound, gold needs to break back above the psychological $5,000 level to reassure the market. A breakout of the RSI above 50 would be technical confirmation that buyers have regained short-term control.
⚡Dynamic Barriers: The current rebound remains tentative. If the price fails to maintain momentum, gold will likely consolidate between $4,833 and lower resistance around $5,020.
