GOLD (XAUUSD): Monday Rally Stalls Under 4,147 ResistanceGoldOANDA:XAUUSDsheeerrenWhat changed: Gold opened the week strongly. After a brief dip to about 4,054 early in Asia, price rallied more than 75 points to a high of 4,134. On the 45-minute chart that makes a fresh higher high and a higher low, so intraday structure has turned bullish. The 4H trend agrees: it has been making higher lows since 30 Oct. The 15M map: Resistance: 4,132–4,138 (today’s high, plus the 45M/1H swing high from 5 Nov) 4,141–4,147 (last week’s high at 4,146.9, also a 4H swing high) Support: 4,114.5–4,115.8 (this morning’s 45M/1H higher low) Below that, 4,076–4,081 (Friday’s highs, now acting as support), 4,054–4,056 (today’s low) and 4,029–4,035 (Friday’s low) Two triggers to watch: A pullback into 4,114.5–4,115.8. This is the first test of this morning’s higher low. A clear rejection there would keep the up-leg intact. A 15M close above 4,147. That would clear last week’s high and turn the 4,141–4,147 zone into support for a later retest. Current stance: bullish bias, buying pullbacks only. Price is sitting between the support and the resistance above, so there’s no signal yet; we wait for one of the two triggers. Event risk: no high-importance US data today. The New York open around 18:30 Dubai (09:30 New York) often brings fast moves. Later there’s NY Fed inflation expectations (20:00 Dubai) and a 3-year Treasury auction (22:00 Dubai).
