Gold (XAU/USD) Takes a Breather – Is a Breakout Brewing?

82
Gold remains in a tight consolidation on the 4-hour chart after its historic run to $3,431. Price is trapped in a clear rectangle between ~$3,280 and ~$3,360:

šŸ“¦ Sideways range suggests indecision after the massive bull run
šŸ”µ 50 SMA holding as dynamic support
šŸ“‰ MACD is flat but trying to cross higher
šŸ“Š RSI hovering near neutral at 50 – neither overbought nor oversold

Watch for a break above $3,360 to reignite bullish momentum toward record highs. A break below ~$3,280, however, could signal deeper mean reversion toward trendline or the 200 SMA near ~$3,140.

Patience is key — the next move could set the tone for May.
