XAU/USD. Price Analysis and Forecast

This image is no longer relevant

On the 4-hour chart, gold remains just below the 200-period simple moving average (SMA), around the $4,817 level. Oscillators are positive, indicating a steady bullish bias, although the price has not yet overcome this structural barrier. Therefore, it would be prudent to wait for a sustained move and consolidation above the 200-period SMA before taking positions for further upside.

On the other hand, the first support level is located at the round $4,800 mark. Additional demand is expected near the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA), followed by the 50-period SMA. Below these levels, prices could decline toward the round $4,700 level.
