Asia stocks climb tracking Wall St rally; Nikkei hits record high, China GDP beats
Gold has successfully defended its long-term upward trendline at $4,643–$4,700 after a sharp correction from its all-time high near $5,600 earlier this year. This bounce is highly significant because the blue rising trendline has acted as powerful support multiple times in the past. As long as this line holds, the bigger bullish structure remains fully intact.
Right now, XAU/USD is trading around $4,736 with immediate resistance sitting at the psychological $4,800 level. A decisive break and close above $4,800 could open the doors for a strong recovery towards $4,900 and eventually retest the $5,200–$5,500 zone in the coming weeks.
Fundamentally, gold continues to enjoy strong tailwinds. Persistent geopolitical tensions, safe-haven demand, aggressive central bank buying, and a relatively softer US Dollar are all supporting the yellow metal. While short-term volatility remains due to ceasefire news and Fed policy expectations, the medium to long-term outlook stays clearly bullish.
Bottom Line
The correction appears to be maturing, and Gold is showing resilience. Traders and investors should watch $4,643 as the critical line in the sand. A hold here keeps the bulls in charge, while a break below could trigger a deeper pullback to $4,500. Overall, the path of least resistance for Gold still looks higher in 2026, provided global uncertainties persist.
