Global risk-off flows surge after Fed chair nomination and US data

Gold recently underwent a sharp correction following the announcement of Kevin Warsh's nomination as the next Chair of the US Federal Reserve, a confirmed event that triggered a notable risk-off move across global markets. The episode led to heightened trading activity in physical gold worldwide, with investors reacting to the increased price volatility. This move was further intensified by the strengthening US dollar and strong inflation data during the same period.

Mixed momentum signals as gold tests support amid oversold readings

Technically, Gold is contending with significant downward momentum after breaching its MA-20, yet it remains supported by the MA-50 and MA-200, reflecting a persistent medium- to long-term bullish structure. Closest resistance is identified at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $5,002.57, while dynamic support comes in at the MA-50. Momentum indicators are mixed: MACD and ADX maintain a bullish bias, but daily RSI (Sell, 46.24) and Stochastic RSI (Oversold) both indicate a short-term oversold condition. Bull/Bear Power is in oversold territory, showing sessional seller dominance, while the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral. Gold is currently trading near the lower end of today's elevated volatility range, amplifying the downward pressure.

Bullish rebound likelihood rises if resistance near $5,000 is cleared

For the next five trading days, XAU/USD is expected to consolidate within a range of $4,700 to $4,850, describing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of a rebound is high — over 80% — as weekly technical signals including RSI, ADX, MACD, and major moving averages favor a renewed upward move. The main scenario foresees consolidation within this channel, with a bullish breakout possible if resistance at $5,000 is surpassed, while a failure of support at $4,700 would open the door to more short-term selling.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees gold facing short-term selling pressure after breaking below its MA-20, even while broader support holds. He remains cautious as news around the US Fed nomination and a stronger dollar have triggered heightened volatility and risk-off flows. The base case is for consolidation between $4,700 and $4,850, with a potential rebound if resistance at $5,000 is cleared. "Until gold decisively breaks above $5,000, I remain defensive and expect further choppy price action within the current range."

Previously it was reported that gold prices have experienced significant volatility, with a sharp rally followed by a steep correction, bringing the market into what analysts describe as a “dangerous phase.” Technical indicators suggest heightened momentum and risk, as the asset quickly retraced from recent highs, testing key support zones and prompting policy intervention to stabilize currency impacts.
