But here’s the real kicker: gold itself is facing multiple resistance levels, most notably around the $2332.80 mark. Don’t ignore these levels; they’re not just lines on a chart – they represent potential selling pressure.
Interestingly, USD/JPY looks relatively clear sailing above current pricing, with no significant immediate resistance looming. This divergence is something we MUST be aware of.

It’s crucial to remember that these are potential turning points, not guarantees. Always use risk management – stop-losses are your friends!
