Gold Futures Slip on Profit-Taking | Focus Shifts to U.S. Data Gold prices edged lower as investors book profits and turn their attention to key U.S. economic data due this week. At current levels, prices are becoming more sensitive to liquidity shifts and profit-taking, leaving room for sharp but temporary pullbacks, even as the medium-term bullish trend remains supported. TECHNICAL VIEW (GOLD) Price is expected to consolidate between 4436 and 4458 until a breakout occurs Bearish Scenario A 1H candle close below 4436 would extend weakness toward 4420 and 4407 A break below this zone may open the path toward 4378 and 4360 Bullish Scenario Stability above 4458 supports a move toward 4475 A 1H candle close above 4475 would confirm bullish continuation toward 4500 and 4520 Key Levels Pivot Line: 4458 Resistance: 4475 – 4500 – 4520 Support: 4420 – 4407 – 4378 – 4360GOLD | Market Overview Gold dropped around $40, exactly as projected in the previous idea, confirming the validity of the bearish move. TECHNICAL VIEW 📉 Bearish Scenario Price is testing the 4436 pivot zone Stability below 4436 would support further downside toward: 4412 - 4407 A break and acceptance below 4407 would confirm a bearish continuation toward: 4387 - 4360 📈 Bullish Scenario Bullish momentum activates only if a 1H candle closes above 4436 and 4444 Upside targets in that case: 4458 -4475 Extension toward 4500 Key Levels Pivot Line: 4436 Support: 4412 – 4407 – 4387 – 4360 Resistance: 4458 – 4475 – 4500

GOLD | Market Overview Gold continues to show bullish momentum while trading above the key support zone, supported by safe-haven demand amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. TECHNICAL VIEW Bullish bias remains active while price holds above 4407–4420 Upside continuation targets: 4446, followed by 4475 and 4500 Alternatively: A 1H candle close below 4407 would weaken the bullish structure and shift momentum to the downside toward 4360 Key Levels Pivot Line: 4431 Support: 4420 – 4407 – 4360 Resistance: 4446 – 4475 – 4500Gold Rises as Focus Shifts to Key U.S. Data Gold prices extended gains in early trading as investors turned their focus to a busy U.S. economic calendar this week, seeking clearer signals on the future monetary policy outlook. Bullion advanced in the previous session after the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro boosted safe-haven demand amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty. While gold is coming off its strongest annual performance since 1979, near-term pressure may emerge from commodity index rebalancing, which could prompt passive funds to trim positions following last year’s record rally. TECHNICAL VIEW (GOLD) The market structure remains bullish while holding above the key support zone. Bullish bias remains active above 4458–4436 Upside targets: 4475, followed by 4500 and 4520 Alternatively: A 1H candle close below 4436 would open the door for a bearish corrective move toward 4420 and 4407 Key Levels Pivot Zone: 4454 – 4458 Resistance: 4475 – 4500 – 4520 Support: 4436 – 4420 – 4407

GOLD | Technical + Fundamental Outlook Fundamental Context (Why volatility is rising) Gold and silver are heading into a high-volatility week, driven by: Key U.S. economic data (labor market & inflation signals) Federal Reserve guidance expectations Geopolitical risk headlines, particularly surrounding Venezuela, after reports of a U.S. military operation involving Nicolás Maduro Markets are reacting to headline risk and uncertainty, which tends to increase intraday swings in safe-haven assets like gold, even when trends are technically corrective. TECHNICAL VIEW (XAUUSD – 4H) Market Structure Gold recently printed a new ATH, then faced strong rejection Price is now trading below the key pivot/supply zone Current structure suggests distribution → corrective downside Primary Bias Bearish / Corrective while below the pivot zone (~4379 – 4406) As long as the price remains capped below this zone, upside moves are corrective only. Bearish Scenario Rejection from the pivot zone Downside continuation toward: 4314 - 4291 A break below 4291 opens the path toward: 4255 - 4198 Bullish / Invalidation Scenario A clear 4H close above 4406 is required to invalidate the bearish bias Only then could gold re-target: 4472 4500+ (ATH continuation) Without this, rallies remain headline-driven pullbacks. Key Levels Pivot / Supply Zone: 4379 – 4360 Resistance: 4406 - 4472 – 4500 Support: 4314 - 4291 - 4255 Conclusion Fundamentals = volatility, not direction Technicals = corrective bearish below the pivot Geopolitical headlines (Venezuela) may cause spikes, but structure favors sell-the-rally unless 4406 is reclaimed on 4H

Gold Opens the Year Higher as Geopolitical Risk Persists Gold prices started the new year on a positive note, supported by ongoing geopolitical tensions. Rising frictions between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as their proxies clash in Yemen, have increased geopolitical risk, boosting demand for the safe-haven metal. TECHNICAL VIEW (GOLD) The market is currently trading with bullish momentum. Continued strength toward 4406 A break and hold above 4406 would open the path toward 4418 and 4460 However, a short-term corrective move remains possible: Stability below 4406 may support a pullback toward 4377 From this zone, the price may attempt to resume the bullish trend Key Levels Resistance: 4406 – 4418 – 4460 Support: 4377 – 4360 – 4315

Gold Edges Higher | Corrective or Consolidation Phase Ahead Gold prices edged higher, but the broader outlook suggests the first quarter of 2026 may remain a corrective or consolidation phase, as elevated interest rates and expectations of a cautious Federal Reserve stance continue to act as short-term headwinds. TECHNICAL VIEW (GOLD) The market maintains a bearish momentum while trading below the pivot zone. Below 4314–4315, selling pressure is expected toward 4291 A break below 4291 would expose the next downside target at 4255 Alternatively, a bullish corrective move will activate only if a 1H candle closes above 4314, opening the way toward 4347 and 4360. Pivot Line: 4315 Support: 4291 – 4255 Resistance: 4331 – 4347 – 4360

GOLD | Overview Gold Prices Stabilize After Recent Pullback Gold prices are stabilizing after Monday’s sharp retreat, with the metal still trading near historic highs. Despite a strong rally throughout 2025, futures fell around 3% after CME Group raised margin requirements, forcing traders to post more collateral and triggering short-term profit-taking. Technically: Gold maintains mixed momentum, with direction depending on key intraday levels. Bullish Scenario: As long as price trades above 4377 and 4360, Gold has the potential to retest 4406. A 1H candle close above 4406 would confirm bullish continuation toward 4421 and 4472. Bearish Scenario: A 1H or 15min candle close below 4360 would activate bearish momentum toward 4315 and 4292. Key Levels Pivot Line: 4377 Resistance: 4406 · 4421 · 4472 Support: 4360 · 4347 · 4315 Outlook: Gold is neutral to bullish above 4377, with upside potential toward 4406–4421. A confirmed break below 4360 would shift momentum to bearish, targeting 4315–4292.

GOLD | Overview Gold Falls as Investors Lock In Profits Gold prices pulled back as investors locked in profits after a strong rally this year, with prices having traded around $2,670 in early January. Additionally, signs of potential progress between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on ending the conflict with Russia have reduced safe-haven demand, adding pressure to the metal in the short term. Technically: Gold maintains a bearish bias while trading below the pivot level at 4472. As long as price remains below 4472, downside momentum is expected to continue toward 4459, with a deeper move likely toward 4420 if selling pressure strengthens. A bullish recovery would require a 1H candle close above 4472, which would open the path toward 4500 and 4545. Key Levels Pivot Line: 4472 Support: 4459 · 4438 · 4420 Resistance: 4490 · 4500 · 4545 Outlook: Gold remains bearish below 4472, targeting 4459–4420. A confirmed 1H close above 4472 would shift momentum to bullish, aiming for 4500–4545.

GOLD | Strong Bullish Momentum in Play Gold pushed higher and recorded a new all-time high around 4540, and it is now trading above the 4500 level, which keeps bullish pressure intact. As long as the price holds above 4500, the bullish trend remains active, with upside targets at 4521, followed by 4538 and 4570. On the downside, a move below the 4500–4490 zone would signal a short-term corrective move toward 4472. In the near term, gold is expected to consolidate within the 4500–4521 range until a clear 1H or 15M candle close confirms the next breakout direction. Key Levels Pivot Line: 4500 Resistance: 4521, 4538, 4570 Support: 4490, 4472, 4460 Bias: Bullish above 4500; corrective below 4490.

GOLD | Technical & Fundamental Overview Gold prices continue their upward trend, extending gains after reaching a new record high in the previous session. Investor demand remains strong as markets price in future Fed rate cuts and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, reinforcing gold’s role as a safe-haven asset. Notably, gold has recorded more than 50 all-time highs this year, highlighting the strength of the underlying bullish trend. Technical Outlook Gold has reached our previously mentioned resistance target at 4515. The bullish structure remains active, and the price may continue higher toward 4521 and 4540, especially if a 1H candle closes above the 4500 pivot level. However, if the price trades below the 4490–4500 zone, a short-term corrective move toward 4472 is likely before the next directional move. Key Levels Pivot Line: 4500 Resistance: 4521, 4540, 4572 Support: 4474, 4460, 4438 Bias: Bullish above 4500; corrective below 4490–4500.

GOLD | Technical & Fundamental Overview Gold prices continue to advance after hitting new all-time highs, supported by strong safe-haven demand and a softer U.S. dollar amid expectations of further Federal Reserve rate cuts next year.

Gold’s move toward the $4,500 level reflects growing market acceptance of higher price levels rather than purely speculative demand. Technical Outlook In the short term, gold is expected to consolidate within the 4494 – 4474 range until a clear breakout occurs. - A 15M or 1H candle close above 4494 will support a bullish continuation toward 4514, followed by 4525. - A 1H candle close below 4474 would signal a corrective move toward 4460, with further downside toward 4440. Key Levels Pivot Line: 4474 Resistance: 4494, 4514, 4525 Support: 4460, 4440 Bias: Bullish above 4494; corrective below 4474
