Key Events
- Chinese PMIs fall below expansion levels, nearing two-year lows

Gold Forecast: Daily Time Frame – Log Scale

Gold is currently trading within a triangle pattern, bounded by key support and resistance levels between $3,260 and $3,350 — a $100 range. A breakout in either direction could mirror this range in volatility, aligning with the full potential of the triangle formation.
Upside Scenario:
A sustained breakout above $3,370 may extend gains toward $3,460 and $3,500.
Downside Scenario:
A confirmed breakdown below $3,260 could open the way for declines toward $3,160, $3,080, and $3,000.

From a long-term perspective, gold’s position near upper channel resistance suggests a possible short-term correction to relieve overbought momentum. However, if tariff tensions escalate, recession fears intensify, and the U.S. dollar weakens further, gold could resume its bullish path — following a potential cup-and-handle formation — targeting $3,700 and eventually $4,000.
On the downside, if peace deals solidify and the dollar strengthens, a deeper correction toward $2,800 is possible before resuming a longer-term bullish trend toward $4,000.
