Gold (XAU/USD) has shown an overall weak trend today, maintaining a pattern of weak consolidation and selling on rallies. Pressured by recent oil price rebounds that have sparked inflation concerns (reigniting expectations of high interest rates), the gold price is currently in a wide-range downward channel. The intraday low has been updated to 4024. Although prices have rebounded slightly, they remain under pressure at the absolute bottom of the downtrend channel. Step-like downward consolidation: After encountering resistance in the 4060 area, gold prices formed a very standard “decline–sideways consolidation–further decline” step-like bearish pattern, with the lower boundary of each consolidation phase being ruthlessly broken. Current short-term resistance is at 4040, with key support below at 4010–4015. Until prices firmly hold above 4040, avoid blindly trying to catch the bottom! Maintain a sell-biased trading strategy!
