GOLD TRADING INSIDE COMPRESSION ZONE WAITING FOR A CLEAR BREAK

May 27

XAUUSD PLAN – MAY 27 | GOLD TRADING INSIDE A COMPRESSION ZONE – WAITING FOR A CLEAR BREAKOUT

Gold continues to consolidate below the 3,364 resistance zone after a rejection late last week. The market is currently trading within a compression range, preparing for a breakout – but direction still depends heavily on macro triggers and technical structure.

🌍 MACRO CONTEXT:
U.S. 10-year yields remain above 4.5%, keeping the dollar stable and applying short-term pressure on precious metals.

The Fed’s cost-cutting moves and operational losses are raising deeper concerns about long-term monetary stability.

Risk sentiment is mixed, and institutional money continues to flow cautiously into gold as a long-term value hedge, especially with equities showing signs of exhaustion.

📈 TECHNICAL OUTLOOK (H1):
Price failed to break through the 3,345–3,364 resistance zone, triggering a pullback toward the mid-range.

Key support around 3,311 is now being tested – a decisive level that could determine whether bulls can regain momentum or bears take control.

If price breaks below 3,311, we could see a deeper dip toward the 3,298–3,288 demand zone, which may offer a better re-entry for buyers.

On the upside, a confirmed break above 3,364 could open the door for a move into the Fair Value Gap toward 3,407.
