Gold Technical Outlook: XAU/USD Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Gold price analysis shows the metal coiling in a seven-week range just above its yearly lows as momentum grinds to its weakest since late 2023. Michael Boutros, FOREX.com Senior Market Analyst, breaks down gold across the weekly, daily, and four-hour charts and the fundamentals that could drive its next directional move. Boutros explains why gold has stalled in a tightening consolidation range and what a genuine breakout would take to confirm a more significant low. He also weighs how Federal Reserve rate expectations and the upcoming ADP employment and nonfarm payrolls releases could shape where gold goes next.
