#XAUUSD at $4,320: Breakdown Ahead—or a Rebound First?XAU/USD Spot - GoldFX:XAUUSDSetupsfx_🔺After a sharp sell-off, it is tempting to sell because the candles are red—or buy because gold suddenly looks cheaper. Right now, the more useful question is whether the support under price can hold. 🔺My bias is bearish, but the location calls for patience. Since the late-August peak, gold has broken earlier swing lows and formed lower rebound highs. The latest rejection from the overhead supply zone keeps sellers in control of the short-term structure. 🔺However, price is now testing support around $4,310–$4,325, an area that supported the August advance. The latest eight-hour candle is still open in the screenshot, so this is a support test—not a confirmed fresh breakdown. Below this band, the early-September swing low around $4,280 is the next downside checkpoint. 🔺For a direct continuation lower, I would look for an eight-hour close below the support band, followed by a failed attempt to reclaim it. That would strengthen the bearish case, although the earlier September low remains an obstacle—not something I would assume price will pass through automatically. 🔺Alternatively, gold could rebound toward the marked resistance at $4,373.30 before the next move. A rejection there, followed by a lower high and renewed selling, would support the rebound-then-drop scenario drawn on the chart. Simply touching that level would not be enough. 🔺In either case, support and the earlier swing low need to give way before the case for the chart’s labelled target at $4,145.35 becomes stronger. This level sits near the early-August breakout base. It is a conditional objective, not a promised destination or a deadline implied by the arrows. 🔺If buyers defend support, reclaim $4,373.30 and hold it on a retest, the immediate downside case weakens. A recovery toward $4,420–$4,450 would then become plausible. 🔺For this idea, an eight-hour close above that supply zone followed by a successful retest would invalidate my near-term bearish setup. The higher supply area around $4,490–$4,510 would become the next upside reference. This is an analytical invalidation condition; the chart does not specify a stop-loss. 🔺The takeaway: a bearish structure does not make every price a good short entry. I want to see either a failed rebound or a confirmed loss of support before treating the projected decline as an active setup. LIKE AND COMMENT THE SETUPSFX_ TEAM
