From a technical perspective, on the daily chart, the XAU/USD pair is holding above the 100-day simple moving average (SMA), which is located at $4,685, and well above the 200-day SMA, which lies around $4,175. At the same time, it remains below the 50-day SMA, located near $4,895. This positioning keeps the overall trend neutral with a slight downward bias, as the price consolidates between these major levels.

Momentum indicators suggest a lack of clear direction: the Relative Strength Index is near the neutral line, confirming weak buyer confidence. The MACD indicator remains negative, with no change in the size of its histogram.

If gold rises above the 50-day moving average, it would indicate improving bullish momentum, with the $5,000–$5,200 level becoming the next resistance area.

On the other hand, failure to hold above the 100-day moving average would open the way toward support at $4,600, followed by $4,500, beyond which lies the 200-day moving average.
