Spot gold (XAU/USD) continues to struggle at the $3,450 resistance zone, printing a bearish hammer last week β a possible signal of near-term weakness. Since reaching an all-time high of $3,500 in April 2025, price action has been largely sideways, suggesting a broader consolidation phase is underway.
π» Bearish Technical Signal:
The bearish hammer near $3,450 reinforces resistance at that level.
Repeated rejection of this zone signals fatigue among buyers.
A confirmed break below $3,250 could accelerate the downside, with eyes on $3,000 β a key structural support.
π§ What This Means for Scalpers & Swing Traders:
Short-term, gold may correct lower to find a base before any renewed attempt to retest or break $3,500. The deeper the dip (ideally holding above $3,000), the stronger the eventual bounce potential.
π Long-Term View Still Bullish
Despite short-term weakness, the weekly chart remains constructive. Gold has broken out of a symmetrical broadening wedge followed by an ascending triangle β powerful continuation patterns.
These moves have fueled rallies from $2,000 to $3,500, and
The current consolidation is viewed as bullish absorption, not reversal.
In fact, a clean break above $3,500 could initiate a macro extension leg toward $4,000 β possibly within Q4 2025.
π― Scalping Focus:
πΈ Resistance: $3,450 β $3,500
