After the sharp drop toward the $4,050 area, gold is showing a fairly constructive trend-reset process on the H2 timeframe. What stands out is that price has reclaimed both the EMA34 and EMA89, while the EMA34 has also crossed above the EMA89 — a signal that often appears when buyers gradually regain control.
Instead of rising too aggressively, XAUUSD is consolidating just above the $4,320–4,330 area. The fact that price has remained above the EMA cluster for several consecutive sessions suggests that buyers are still absorbing profit-taking pressure quite well.
If the current structure holds, gold could extend its recovery toward the $4,360 resistance before targeting the $4,380–4,400 area. Notably, trading volume has gradually declined during the sideways phase, a pattern often seen before the market continues in the main direction.
Until the $4,300 zone is lost, the short-term advantage still leans in favor of buyers.
