Yesterday’s session was dominated by:
• Ongoing tariff uncertainty
• Safe-haven demand carryover from prior geopolitical tensions
• Stronger U.S. Dollar into late session
• Profit-taking after recent upside extension
The result:
Gold initially attempted continuation higher but then rotated lower as USD strength and positioning adjustments kicked in.
👉 Key takeaway:
The market is currently balancing risk uncertainty vs USD strength. This creates two-way volatility rather than straight-line trend.
That volatility spills into today.
Today’s Fundamental LandscapeCore Drivers Today
• Ongoing tariff/trade narrative
• Dollar direction (DXY intraday strength/weakness)
• Treasury yield movement
• Risk appetite in equities
There are no extreme macro surprises this morning, so flows are likely to be:
• Position-driven
• Technically reactive
• Headline-sensitive
This means technical levels will likely respect structure more cleanly unless unexpected news hits.
Technical Structure – Higher Timeframe Context
4H Chart Structure
50 EMA (4H)
Still holding as major structural support.
Price remains above it.
That keeps the broader structure bullish.
20 EMA (4H)
Acting as short-term dynamic pivot.
When price trades above it → momentum continuation.
When below → pullback mode.
5 & 9 EMA (4H)
Currently aligned bullish / attempting bullish alignment.
This suggests:
Momentum trying to resume upward unless structure breaks.
Key Levels for Today
Support Zones
• Near-term support: recent intraday lows
• Deeper structural support: 4H 50 EMA zone
• Psychological round-number support below
Resistance Zones
• Prior session high
• Intraday supply area above
• Next breakout extension zone
Today’s trading likely oscillates between these zones unless a clean breakout occurs.
Momentum & Oscillator Behavior
RSI (4H)
• Neutral-to-bullish
• Not overbought
• Momentum still constructive
Bias: Pullbacks more likely to find buyers unless RSI breaks below midline.
RSI (1H)
• Rotating between 40–65
• No extreme exhaustion
This supports intraday swing trading.
Stochastic
4H Stochastic
• Cycling upward but not extreme
• Momentum constructive
1H / 15M Stochastic
• Repeated oversold → overbought cycles
• Very tradable in this structure
Best use:
Only take stochastic signals at structural areas.
Oversold at support = buy
Overbought at resistance = sell
Parabolic SAR
4H
Holding below price → confirms broader bullish bias.
1H
Flips mark momentum transitions.
15M
Entry refinement tool.
When SAR flips with stochastic cross, it increases probability of short bursts.
Intraday Bias for Today
Primary Bias:
Buy dips while above 4H 50 EMA.
Secondary Bias:
Short resistance tactically if stochastic overbought and SAR flips.
This is currently:
Controlled volatility, not runaway trend.
