π Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD Consolidates Near $4,000 as Bears Retain Control
Gold (XAU/USD) continues to trade in a narrow range around the $4,000 psychological level after falling to a fresh seven-month low of $3,941. While selling pressure has eased, the broader technical structure remains bearish, with buyers still lacking enough momentum to confirm a meaningful trend reversal. The current price action reflects market indecision as traders await the next catalyst to determine Gold's direction.
π Technical Analysis Gold remains trapped in a consolidation phase following its recent sharp decline. Momentum indicators suggest bearish pressure is fading but has not yet disappeared: RSI (14): Shows a bullish divergence, indicating that downside momentum is weakening. MACD: Remains slightly below the zero line, suggesting that buyers are still struggling to gain control. Unless key resistance levels are broken, any short-term rebound is likely to remain corrective.

π΄ Key Resistance Levels $4,060 β Initial resistance $4,096 β Weekly resistance $4,215 β Major resistance zone A sustained move above $4,096 would improve short-term sentiment, while a break above $4,215 would be needed to signal a stronger bullish recovery.
π Market Outlook Gold remains under bearish pressure despite signs of stabilization around the $4,000 level. The broader trend continues to favor sellers, and rallies may continue to attract selling interest until price establishes itself above the major resistance zone.
