Gold weak recovery; another drop possible?

135
Gold is showing a recovery from the recent sell-off, but the structure suggests this move may only be a corrective pullback rather than a true reversal.

After the sharp decline, price has formed a short-term bullish leg; however, it is now approaching a key sell zone near 4680–4700, where multiple confluences are present.

Market structure overview

The broader context still reflects a bearish-to-neutral transition.
Price remains below the descending resistance trendline, and the recent upside move lacks strong continuation momentum.

This creates a typical scenario where the market rallies into supply before continuing lower.

Key zones to watch
Sell zone: 4680 – 4700 → strong resistance + trendline confluence
Mid support: 4583 → short-term reaction level
Intraday buy zones: 4553 / 4453 → liquidity-based support
Major downside target: ~4000 → sell-side liquidity
Primary scenario (Bearish continuation)

If gold fails to break and hold above the 4680–4700 resistance zone, we may see a rejection forming at this level.

That rejection would confirm this move as a pullback within a larger bearish structure, opening the path for a continuation lower.

In this case:

First downside reaction may occur around 4583
If broken, price could accelerate toward 4450 zone
Extended move may aim for sell-side liquidity near 4000
Alternative scenario (Invalidation)

If price manages to break above 4700 and hold, this would invalidate the bearish setup and signal a potential shift toward bullish continuation.

However, until that happens, upside should be treated cautiously.

Cecilia’s view

Right now, gold is in a classic corrective phase.
The recovery looks clean, but it lacks the strength needed to confirm a full reversal.

For me, the focus is simple:

Watch how price reacts at 4680–4700
Look for weakness, not strength
Follow the rejection, not the hype
Final thought

Markets often move in waves — and this looks like a pullback before continuation.

Patience here is key.
Let price reach the zone, observe the reaction, and then follow the structure.
