XAUUSD – New Week: Gold Holds Higher, 4,453 Is The Key Gate

Gold is starting the new week with a constructive bullish structure.

Price is currently trading around 4,395 after holding above the Buy Zone Liquidity area near 4,380. The market has already recovered from the short-term pullback, and buyers are now attempting to build another move toward the resistance zone above.

The chart is not weak, but Gold is also not fully clear of resistance yet. The next major test is around 4,453.

🌎 Fundamental View

Gold prices are also rising in India, suggesting that physical-market demand remains supportive at the start of the week.

According to the data provided, Gold increased from 13,455.97 INR to 13,495.00 INR per gram, while the tola price rose from 156,947.80 INR to 157,403.00 INR.

This supports the current bullish tone. However, traders should continue to monitor USD movement, U.S. yields, inflation expectations, and geopolitical headlines, as these factors can create sharp reactions around major resistance levels.

📊 Technical View – SMC + Fibonacci

From an SMC perspective, Gold is still forming a recovery structure after defending the lower area.

The Buy Zone Liquidity around 4,380 is the key support. As long as price holds above this zone, buyers remain in control of the short-term structure.

The first major resistance is around 4,453. This level is important because it aligns with previous resistance and the Fibonacci structure.

If Gold breaks and holds above 4,453, the path toward the Fibonacci target around 4,504 becomes clearer.

If price rejects from 4,453, Gold may pull back toward 4,380 before determining its next direction.

🎯 My View

Gold is opening the week with buyers still in control.

The 4,380 zone is the key support. If buyers continue to defend this area, Gold may move toward 4,453 and potentially extend toward 4,504.

However, chasing price directly into resistance carries additional risk. The preferred approach is to wait for either a pullback into 4,380 or a clean breakout and hold above 4,453.

Market View: The structure remains bullish, but 4,453 is the key gate for the next major move. A confirmed breakout above this level could open the path toward 4,504, while rejection could send price back toward the 4,380 support zone.
