Gold Extends Its Pullback, Breaking Below the Key $4,300 Support Level

USDJPY Technical Analysis

USDJPY is stabilizing after yesterday’s decline and is now forming higher highs and higher lows from the 155.55 support area and is gradually pushing above the short term moving averages. Moving averages MA(5) and MA(10) have crossed above MA(30) on the hourly chart, which suggests improving bullish momentum and growing buyer confidence in the near term.

MACD has crossed into positive territory. This indicates strengthening upside momentum and supports the idea that the recent consolidation has resolved to the upside.

Immediate resistance sits near 156.80–157.00, which aligns with previous intraday highs. A break above this zone would confirm continuation toward higher levels. On the downside, 156.00 now acts as key short-term support. As long as price holds above it, the bullish recovery scenario remains intact.

Gold Technical Analysis

Gold is clearly showing a strong bearish correction after topping near the $4,550 area. Price has aggressively broken below all key moving averages, with the MA(30) now acting as dynamic resistance. The sharp sell-off and inability to hold above prior support zones indicate that bullish momentum has been interrupted.

Technically, the $4,270–$4,300 zone is now a critical support area. If this level holds, gold may attempt a rebound toward $4,350–$4,380 However, a clean break below $4,270 would expose the market to a deeper retracement.

Nasdaq Technical Analysis

Nasdaq is currently in a short-term corrective phase after failing to sustain prices above the 25,700 resistance area. Price has broken below the short-term moving averages MA(5) and MA(10) and is now trading below the MA(30). The series of lower highs and lower lows over the last sessions confirms weakening upside momentum.

MACD is currently in negative territory, indicating that bearish momentum is still active.

Immediate support is located around 25,400, followed by 25,250, which is a key intraday support area. A break below this zone could open the door for a deeper pullback. On the upside, a sustained reclaim above MA(30) and a bullish MACD crossover would signal a potential return of buyers.
