Technical Analysis and Price Action
Ascending Channel Structure: The price is clearly trading within a primary ascending channel (in blue), reflecting a shift in the intraday trend toward the upside following a sharp recovery from a low.

Remaining above both the daily and weekly pivots reinforces buying momentum. Meanwhile, the first daily resistance level (Daily R1) at 4193.70 serves as the primary barrier the price must overcome to continue its upward trend.

Price Action Outlook and Trading Recommendations

A positive trajectory is the most likely outcome in the intraday timeframe, provided the price remains above the daily pivot (4170.19) and, more importantly, above the weekly pivot (4151.72).

Stop Loss: A one-hour candle close below 4150.00.
Bearish Corrective Scenario (Alternative):
This scenario is triggered if the price breaks below the daily and weekly pivot level of 4151.72 and settles below it with a strong one-hour candle.
Confirmation Criteria: A break below 4151.72 and an exit from the pink-colored ascending channel. Technical objectives: Paving the way for a downward correction targeting the first daily support level at 4142.05, followed by the second daily support level at 4118.54.

Technical Analysis and Price Action

Price Channel Structure: The price is trading within a broad ascending channel (in blue), reflecting recent recovery efforts.

Interaction with Pivot Levels: Gold has successfully maintained its position above the weekly pivot point (Weekly Pivot) at 4151.72, which now serves as a solid, pivotal support line preventing further declines for the time being. Conversely, the price faces pressure from the first weekly resistance level (Weekly R1) at 4230.55—a key target for buyers to confirm the strength of the uptrend.
