#XAU Gold Is at a Decision Point
Gold is trading around $4,429/oz, after Friday’s sharp rejection from the $4,490 area. The latest move was not random: stronger U.S. employment data lifted Treasury yields and revived expectations that the Fed could keep policy tighter for longer. That pressured a non-yielding asset like gold.

But I’m not calling this a trend reversal yet.

The bigger picture is still highly sensitive to the dollar, Treasury yields, inflation data and geopolitical risk. Gold had already climbed strongly through August, so some profit-taking after the recent rally is also normal.

On the chart, $4,365–$4,380 is the first area I would watch on a pullback. If buyers defend that zone, gold can attempt to reclaim $4,450–$4,490. A clean break and daily close above $4,490–$4,510 would improve the bullish structure and put $4,550, followed by $4,600, back into focus.

The bearish side becomes more interesting if $4,365 breaks decisively. In that case, the next downside areas are around $4,320–$4,330 and then $4,250–$4,280. A loss of those levels would signal that the recent recovery has weakened considerably.

For me, this is a confirmation market, not a chase market. I’d rather see gold prove the direction around these levels than enter in the middle of the range.

Bullish setup: hold $4,365–$4,380 → reclaim $4,450 → break $4,490/$4,510 → targets $4,550 and $4,600.

Bearish setup: rejection below $4,450–$4,490 → break $4,365 → targets $4,320 and $4,250.

Risk stays controlled. 1–2% per trade is enough; gold can move quickly when yields, the dollar or geopolitical headlines shift.
