XAU/USD Bounces From Key Demand Zone – Is Gold Set for a Rally?

98
Gold is showing strength after touching a key demand zone near $3,200. Is this the beginning of a bullish reversal, or just a dead cat bounce? Here’s what I’m watching closely.

Chart Breakdown (4H TF – OANDA):

Current Price: $3,206.29

Demand Zone: $3,124 – $3,200 (orange box)

Resistance Levels:

First: $3,308 – prior resistance and price pivot zone

Second: $3,454 – high-volume supply zone, price was rejected heavily here in the past



Bullish Signals:

Price bounced strongly from the demand zone, showing buyer interest.

Long lower wicks indicate rejection of lower prices near $3,200.

Arrows on chart highlight potential upside targets if bullish momentum continues.


Trade Setup:

Buy Opportunity: Look for price to hold above $3,200 and build momentum.

Short-Term Target: $3,308

Extended Target: $3,454 if bullish pressure sustains.


Fundamentals to Watch:

U.S. data events incoming (as marked on chart) – potential catalysts for volatility.

USD strength/weakness will directly impact XAU/USD momentum.


My Bias:
Bullish as long as $3,200 holds. I’ll look for confirmation candles and volume support before entering long. If price breaks below $3,124, bias shifts to bearish.

What do you think – is gold ready to fly or will sellers return?
