Gold XAU is in a high-level sideways consolidation. The overall core fluctuation range is: 4315-4440. A valid breakout above 4450: bullish continuation. A drop below 4320: trend weakens, initiating a pullback. Key support at 4315, which is the previous retracement low and has strong support effectiveness. As long as the price does not break through the 4440 resistance effectively, maintain a bearish outlook, targeting around 4250. If there’s a solid break below 4315, the bullish structure will be damaged, the trend will shift downward, and the trading strategy will need adjustment.
