Gold Slips Below Key Support – Is $3,326 Next?

113
XAUUSD GOLD Gold has broken beneath the $3,365–$3,369 support zone, which now aligns with descending trendlines TL1 and TL2 acting as resistance. The 30-minute chart confirms a clean bearish breakout and retest, signalling potential continuation toward lower support near $3,326.

🎯 Short Setup
Entry: $3,365 (retest of broken support / trendline confluence)
Stop: $3,375 (above TL2 and intraday highs)
Target 1: $3,330
Target 2: $3,326
R:R: ~1:3.95

📊 Technical Context
• Price is capped below the $3,365–$3,369 supply zone
• Trendline resistance (TL1, TL2) remains intact from mid-June
• Structure favours continuation lower as long as price stays beneath the retest zone

🌐 Fundamental Backdrop
• Fed held rates steady, but Powell’s tone remained hawkish, warning of “elevated inflation” — supporting USD strength
• Rising Middle East tensions (Israel-Iran conflict) offer safe-haven bids, but not enough to break resistance
• Trump’s tariff threats and criticism of Fed policy add macro uncertainty — mildly supportive of gold in the longer run

📘 Trade Bias
As long as gold holds below $3,365, the bearish thesis remains intact. A sustained push above $3,375 would invalidate the setup and signal a potential reversal or breakout retest.
