GOLD WEEKLY OUTLOOK — April 13-17, 2026 XAUUSD GoldOANDA:XAUUSDAI_advisor_📊 GOLD WEEKLY OUTLOOK — April 13-17, 2026 Verified closing prices — April 10, 2026: 🥇 Gold: $4,749 🛢️ Brent: $94.33 ₿ Bitcoin: $73,151 📊 Dow Jones: 48,177 💶 EUR/USD: 1.1725 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK: Gold had an explosive but confusing week. Three major forces pulled in opposite directions: 🔴 Iran ceasefire talks → gold fell 🟢 Iran rejects deal → gold surged 🔴 Strong NFP (+178K) → dollar up, gold under pressure Net result: Gold closed at $4,749 — DOWN from $4,800+ highs earlier in week. The key lesson this week: $4,800 is a STRONG resistance wall. Gold tested it twice — rejected both times. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔍 TECHNICAL PICTURE (Daily): 🔴 Resistance 2: $4,900 🔴 Resistance 1: $4,800 ← KEY WALL 🟡 Current price: $4,749 🟡 Support 1: $4,700 🟢 Support 2: $4,630 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📈 SCENARIO A — Bullish (40%): Triggers needed: ✅ Iran rejects ceasefire again ✅ PPI Tuesday comes in cool ✅ JPMorgan misses expectations ✅ Dollar weakens → Gold breaks above $4,800 → Target: $4,900 → $4,955 📉 SCENARIO B — Bearish (60%): Triggers: ❌ Hot PPI Tuesday (forecast 1.3%) ❌ JPMorgan beats expectations ❌ Dollar strengthens on Fed hawks ❌ Iran ceasefire progress → Gold stays below $4,800 → Retest: $4,700 → $4,630 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📅 KEY EVENTS NEXT WEEK: Monday April 13 ⚠️: → Easter Monday — London CLOSED → Thin liquidity = gap risk → Do NOT trade Sunday night → Wait for Tuesday open Tuesday April 14 🔴 MOST IMPORTANT: → JPMorgan earnings (before open) → PPI m/m (forecast +1.3% vs +0.7%) → Core PCE data → ADP employment change Wednesday April 15: → EIA crude inventories → NY Empire State Manufacturing → Fed speakers Thursday April 16: → Jobless Claims (forecast 216K) → Philadelphia Fed Index → Industrial Production Friday April 17: → Fed Barkin speech → Fed Waller speech ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏦 WHY JPMORGAN QUARTER RESULTS MATTERS FOR GOLD: JPMorgan reports results for previous quarter Tuesday April 14. First major bank of Q1 2026 season. JPM BEATS → risk-on → stocks up → dollar strengthens → gold sideways JPM MISSES → recession fear rises → safe-haven demand → gold surges Watch the reaction — not the number. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 THE BIGGER PICTURE: Gold is up 20%+ in 2026 despite the correction from $5,595 highs. This is structural strength. Central banks keep buying. Iran conflict keeps smoldering. US labor market keeps weakening. Long-term targets remain: Goldman Sachs: $5,400 JPMorgan: $6,300 Current weakness = accumulation zone. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚖️ OVERALL BIAS: NEUTRAL $4,749 is no man's land. Too far from support to short safely. Too far from resistance to long safely. Wait for Tuesday's JPMorgan + PPI. That will set the week's direction.
