Gold XAU is showing a false breakout from the consolidation box and dipping lower. The chart is currently forming a head-and-shoulders bottom pattern. Key condition for the pattern to hold: the pullback must stay above the 4320–4300 support zone. If this zone is decisively broken, the head-and-shoulders bottom formation will fail. If the head-and-shoulders bottom forms and breaks above the neckline, a new round of upward momentum will begin. Key resistance: 4410–4450. This area combines horizontal resistance and downward trendline pressure, making it a good spot for short positions. Strong support zone: 4320 ~ 4300 On the larger timeframe, the price remains in a high-level consolidation within an overall uptrend, without reversing the bullish structure. Daily chart consolidation range: upper boundary at 4450, lower boundary at 4300. As long as 4300 is not decisively broken, the bullish outlook remains intact, with the target set at 4450. If 4450 is breached, look for even higher levels. Overall strategy: focus on buying the dips, with priority given to low-buy opportunities near the 4320 pullback.
