Highlights

Gold extended its rally due to a weakening US dollar and lower US bond yields, increasing its appeal to buyers.
Falling yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, supporting persistent buying activity in the market.
Gold closed at $4,120, trading with strong intraday buy momentum and is forecast to range between $4,031 and $4,209.

Dollar weakness and lower yields drive renewed gold demand

Gold has extended its rally following a notable decline in the US dollar and a drop in US bond yields, according to FXStreet. The weakening dollar lowers the cost of gold for international buyers, while decreased yields make gold comparatively more attractive to investors by reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. These dynamics have combined to drive increased demand for gold and support ongoing buying interest in the market.

Buyer momentum strong as price faces 200-day average cap

On the technical front, XAU/USD is trading above the MA-20 and MA-50 but remains capped by the MA-200, with the Ichimoku Kijun at $4,023 providing support. MACD signals strong buy momentum and ADX confirms the strength of the buyers, while oscillator data show RSI and CCI at neutral, Stoch RSI oversold, and Awesome Oscillator neutral. Bull/Bear Power registers a robust intraday positive reading at 42.96, highlighting prevailing buyer control.

Bullish breakout favored as consolidation range holds

Looking ahead, gold is expected to consolidate within a range of $4,031 to $4,209 in the short term. The likelihood of an upward breakout is 68%, while a move lower is estimated at 32%, making further gains more probable if momentum holds. The baseline scenario favors range-bound price action, with a bullish extension possible on a decisive break above resistance, while failure to hold support could bring a swift test of lower levels within the stated corridor.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, sees gold prices supported by strong macro tailwinds. He believes weakening US dollar and slipping bond yields are pushing investors into gold and reinforcing upside momentum. Technicals confirm robust buyer interest, with both sentiment and fundamentals working in tandem. "Momentum remains constructive — as long as key supports are respected, gold looks primed for further short-term gains."

Previously it was reported that AngloGold Ashanti is advancing a major multi-mine expansion, capitalizing on higher gold prices to boost future production. In the context of the current rally—supported by technical momentum and macro-driven demand—traders should monitor the potential for a bullish breakout above $4,209 as the next catalyst for sustained upside.
