The macro backdrop remains supportive but not one-sided. Gold finished Friday around $4,194, gaining roughly 1.5% on the session and about

XAUUSD — Value Acceptance Around 4,180 Auction State XAUUSD on H2 remains inside a broader directional bearish auction, but price is attempting to stabilize after defending the lower auction boundary around 4,105–4,130.
