The technical outlook for gold has reached a critical point. From the daily chart, the MACD death cross is weakening, and both the KDJ and RSI have pulled back from overbought levels, indicating that bullish momentum is building. Gold is currently consolidating at higher levels, with a head and shoulders bottom pattern gradually forming, and the neckline around 4400-4410. However, the key support level that will determine the future trend is at 4300—holding this level is crucial for the bulls.

In the near term, it is likely to fluctuate between 4300 and 4380, with daily volatility expected to be around 50-80 points. If the geopolitical tensions in Venezuela continue to escalate, gold may break through 4400 and push towards the 4450-4500 range.

In terms of trading strategy, consider accumulating long positions in the 4280-4305 zone, with the first target at 4350-4400. If the price breaks through, continue holding the position to let profits run. The key is to maintain the 4300 support level.
