Gold next week: Key S/R Levels and Outlook for Traders

3 056
🔥 GOLD WEEKLY SNAPSHOT — BY PROJECTSYNDICATE

🏆 High/Close: ~$4,244 → ~$4,085 — buyers punched through $4.20k but sellers defended the $4,220–4,250 band; weekly close is soft but still comfortably above $4k and mid-range.
📈 Trend: Bullish but in corrective / two-way mode; treating current tape as range-trade while below the $4,350–4,375 ATH supply block.
🛡 Supports: $3,925–3,935 fresh bullish liquidity → $3,800–3,825 deeper demand pocket— key shelves where dip-buying is expected.
🚧 Resistances: $4,220–4,230 short-term fade zone → $4,350–4,375 (ATH heavy resistance block).
🧭 Bias next week: Preference to fade strength into $4,220–4,230, targeting a rotation back into $3,925–3,935. Alternative is to buy dips into $3,925–3,935 and ride the range back toward $4,220–4,230. Invalidation on sustained acceptance above $4,350–4,375; loss of $3,800–3,825 risks deeper mean reversion.

🔝 Key Resistance Zones
• $4,220–4,230 — immediate weekly ceiling; aligns with your noted resistance block, attractive area to initiate shorts on first tests.
• $4,350–4,375 — prior ATH / “heavy resistance block”; any spike here is a fade candidate unless price accepts above it on strong volume.
🛡 Support Zones
• $3,925–3,935 — fresh bullish liquidity; preferred first take-profit for shorts and primary dip-buy zone.
• $3,800–3,825 — deeper fresh liquidity; failure here would signal a more meaningful correction, not just a pullback in an uptrend.

⚖️ Base Case Scenario

Range/consolidation between roughly $3,800–$4,230:
• First pushes into $4,220–4,230 are sellable for rotations toward $3,925–3,935.
• As long as weekly closes keep rejecting the ATH block $4,350–4,375, bias stays “sell strength, buy clean liquidity dips.”

🚀 Breakout / Breakdown Triggers

• Bull trigger: Sustained acceptance above $4,350–4,375 multiple sessions holding above and using that band as support would shift tone back to full-on trend and reopen the path toward and beyond prior extremes (~$4,400+).
• Bear trigger: A decisive daily close below $3,800 turns the current “healthy pullback” into a deeper correction, opening room toward prior lower shelves sub-$3,750 and likely volatility expansion.

💡 Market Drivers to Watch
• Fed & real yields: Odds of a December cut have ramped up again; any hawkish pushback or hotter data could cap rallies near resistance.
• U.S. fiscal/political risk: Shutdown and fiscal brinkmanship are still in the background; resolution headlines could briefly pressure gold, while renewed instability supports the bid.
• Flows & positioning: ETF and central-bank demand remain supportive, but after a 60% YTD run, fast money is quick to take profits into strength.
• Cross-asset behavior: Watch that equity–gold correlation; if risk-off hits and gold still sells with stocks, dips could run further before strategic buyers step in.

🔓 Bull / Bear Trigger Lines
• Bullish above: $4,350–$4,375 (sustained acceptance; ATH block reclaimed as support).
• Bearish below: $3,800 (opens risk of deeper liquidation below the current liquidity shelves).

🧭 Strategy for this week
Primary plan – short from resistance (your core idea):
• Entry zone: Scale into shorts around $4,220–4,230 front edge of the resistance block.
• TP #1: $3,925–3,935 fresh bullish liquidity; consider closing most size here.
• Runner / extension: If momentum extends lower, watch $3,800–3,825 for final profit-taking; below here the profile shifts into deeper correction mode.
• Risk: Hard invalidation if price accepts above $4,350–4,375 daily closes holding above and successful retests.
Alternative plan – buy the dip into liquidity:
• Entry zone: Stagger bids around $3,925–3,935 and, for more aggressive positioning, into $3,800–3,825.
• Exit zone: First target back into $4,220–4,230; consider de-risking heavily as you approach that resistance band.
• Risk: Cut or reduce if price fails to hold above $3,800 on a daily closing basis or if selling accelerates on high volume through that shelf.
