XAUUSD Technical Analysis - BuyingXAUUSD Reacts From Fibonacci Buy Zone, Recovery Structure Still Needs Confirmation
Gold is showing an early reaction from the Fibonacci buy zone around 4493, after a corrective move from the previous resistance area. The short-term structure is still under pressure, but the current price action suggests that buyers are trying to defend an important technical base.
The key question now is whether gold can build enough strength above this demand zone to challenge the next resistance levels.
Market Context
Gold has recently moved through a corrective phase after failing to sustain momentum above the mid-range resistance area. The market is now trading near a sensitive zone where technical buyers may start to react, especially as price approaches a Fibonacci support area.
From Lily’s perspective, this is not yet a clean bullish reversal. It is a recovery attempt from a technical support zone, and the next confirmation will depend on how price behaves around the nearby resistance levels.
Volume remains important here. A stronger bullish continuation would need to be supported by improving volume, especially if gold attempts to reclaim the resistance around 4649 and later the sell zone near 4736–4760.
Technical Structure
From a technical view, gold is currently reacting from the Fibonacci buy zone near 4493, which aligns closely with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement area. This zone is acting as the main short-term support.
The structure shows:
Price reacting from the Fibonacci demand zone
Short-term selling pressure slowing near support
First resistance sitting around 4649
A larger sell zone above around 4736–4760
Higher target liquidity resting near the upper resistance zone around 4995–5000
The current move suggests that gold may attempt a short-term recovery as long as the 4493 support zone continues to hold. However, the market still needs a clear break above resistance to confirm stronger bullish momentum.
Key Levels
Support / Buy Zone: 4493
Fibonacci Support: 4491–4493
Current Resistance: 4649
Sell Zone: 4736–4760
Major Resistance / Target Zone: 4995–5000
Scenario & Expectation
The preferred scenario is a short-term bullish recovery from the Fibonacci buy zone.
If gold continues to hold above 4493, price may attempt to recover toward 4649, which is the first important resistance. A break and hold above this level could open the way for a further move into the sell zone around 4736–4760.
From there, the market may react again. If buyers remain strong and volume supports the breakout, gold could extend toward the larger resistance area near 4995–5000.
However, if price fails to hold the 4493 zone, the bullish recovery view would weaken. A clean breakdown below this area could expose gold to a deeper correction before any stronger recovery attempt appears.
Conclusion
Gold is currently trying to stabilize around an important Fibonacci buy zone near 4493. The reaction from this area is constructive, but not enough to confirm a full bullish reversal yet.
As long as price holds above this support, the short-term structure favors a recovery toward 4649, then potentially 4736–4760. A stronger bullish continuation would require price to break resistance with better volume confirmation.
Lily’s view: gold is at a technical turning point. The support reaction is promising, but the next move needs confirmation. The cleanest signal will come from how price behaves around 4649 and whether buyers can defend the 4493 base.

XAUUSD — Resistance now key focusXAUUSD — Wave 5 Sell Zone Now Becomes the Weekly Decision Point
Gold is moving into next week with a very sensitive structure on the chart. The broader trend is no longer in clean expansion mode, and price is now testing a zone where the market must decide whether this is only a temporary rebound inside weakness, or the start of a deeper selloff.
For Kelly, this is not the kind of chart to chase emotionally. This is the kind of chart where structure has to lead.
Technical structure
On the chart, gold is still trading inside a large descending channel, which keeps the broader medium-term tone defensive.
The current recovery has pushed price back into the wave 5 sell zone around 4890–4920, and that area matters because it sits right under the upper half of the broader bearish structure. So far, buyers have managed to lift price into resistance, but they have not yet changed the higher-timeframe framework.
Below current price, two technical layers stand out:
4554 as the first strong support 4400 area as the next liquidity zone
Deeper than that, the chart still keeps a wider long-term target zone near 3700 on the map if the broader bearish wave sequence continues to develop.
Wave structure
From an Elliott perspective, the current rebound can be read as a recovery into a wave 5 sell area, not a confirmed bullish reversal.
That is the key distinction.
The market already printed a sharp decline, then rotated higher into resistance. When price rebounds into a mapped sell zone inside a descending channel, the cleaner interpretation is often that the market is completing a corrective phase before deciding whether to continue lower.
For Kelly, that keeps the current move highly reactive. If buyers cannot reclaim and hold above the sell zone with real momentum, then this area can become the launch point for the next leg down.
What matters next week
The weekly map is relatively clean.
Bearish scenario
If gold remains capped below the 4890–4920 resistance band and starts slipping back under local support, the chart opens room toward 4554 first. If that floor gives way, the next rotation can extend into the 4400 liquidity zone.
That path would keep the broader bearish channel intact and support the idea that the market is still trading toward a larger downside objective over time.
Bullish invalidation scenario
If buyers break and hold above the current sell zone with acceptance, then the bearish wave count weakens. That would force the market into a stronger recovery phase and delay the downside continuation.
But right now, the chart is not there yet. Price is testing resistance, not reclaiming structure.
Macro backdrop
The macro side fits this more cautious technical picture. Fed Governor Christopher Waller has recently sounded careful about easing, with officials emphasizing that rates may need to stay unchanged for longer while inflation risks remain alive. At the same time, broader Fed commentary and Beige Book-style assessments have highlighted that Middle East conflict is adding to U.S. economic uncertainty. That mix can keep gold supported on fear, but it can also delay the kind of policy relief that usually gives gold a cleaner upside tailwind.
For Kelly, that creates a market where macro uncertainty supports volatility, but not necessarily a clean bullish continuation. That is why the chart matters even more here.
Kelly’s read
This is still a resistance-led chart.
Gold has rallied into a meaningful sell zone, but it is doing so inside a broader descending channel and without fully breaking the higher-timeframe bearish framework. That keeps the upside fragile unless buyers can prove much more above current levels.
For Kelly, the cleaner view into next week is simple: as long as gold stays below the wave 5 sell zone, the path of least resistance remains vulnerable to another move lower.
Conclusion
Gold enters next week at a technical decision point. The rebound has reached the 4890–4920 wave 5 sell zone, but the broader chart still sits inside a descending channel, with 4554 and 4400 as the next major downside references if resistance holds.
The rebound is visible — but unless price reclaims structure above resistance, the chart still looks like a setup where sellers may take control again.
