Gold Technical Analysis

Gold is trading near $4,630 after a sharp selloff from the $4,700 region. Price broke below multiple support levels and is now trading beneath all key moving averages: MA5, MA10, and MA20. This bearish alignment confirms strong downside pressure.

Unless gold reclaims $4,655–$4,670, sellers remain in control. A break below $4,623 would likely extend losses toward $4,612 and $4,600.

Volume increased into the decline, confirming bearish conviction.

Bias remains bearish below $4,655, with downside pressure dominant unless a sharp recovery reclaims the moving averages.

Brent Technical Analysis

Brent crude is trading near $109.71 after extending its rally and printing a fresh high at $110.32. Price action remains decisively bullish, with consistent higher highs and higher lows. The market is trading above all major moving averages: MA5, MA10, and MA20, confirming strong upward momentum.

The alignment of short-term averages above longer-term averages reflects trend acceleration, while shallow pullbacks suggest buyers remain in control.

As long as price holds above $108.70, bulls retain momentum. A break above $110.32 could open the door toward $111.10 and beyond.

Momentum remains strong, although volume is moderate rather than explosive. This suggests a healthy trend continuation rather than panic buying.

Bias remains bullish above $108.70, targeting $111.10 next.

S&P 500 Technical Analysis

The S&P 500 is trading near 7,173 fter rejecting from a recent high at the psychological level 7,200. Despite the minor pullback, the broader structure remains bullish, as price is still holding close to all major moving averages: MA5, MA10, and MA20. The current move appears more like profit-taking or consolidation after a strong rally.

A recovery above 7,186 would restore bullish momentum quickly, while a break below 7,150 may trigger a deeper retracement. Volume is relatively light during the pullback, indicating sellers are not aggressive. This favors consolidation rather.

Bias is generally bullish with the trend intact above 7,150.

US Yields Rise Despite Buybacks; Eyes on ECB Hike

Tensions escalated as the U.S. and Iran engaged in the largest maritime exchange in six months near the Strait of Hormuz, pushing Brent crude above $100/bbl. U.S. equities remained under pressure, Treasury yields rose even after the Treasury tripled long‑term bond buybacks, and a softer dollar supported gold.
