🥇 XAU/USD | Gold Market Outlook for Monday
📅 Monday, September 28, 2026
Gold (XAU/USD) enters the new trading week under short-term selling pressure after failing to maintain levels above the recent resistance zone. Traders are now watching the $4,255–$4,235 area closely for signs of renewed buying interest.
📊 Key Technical Levels
🔴 Resistance:
• $4,305–$4,317
• $4,350
• $4,400
🟢 Support:
• $4,255
• $4,235
• $4,200
• $4,150
🔴 Bearish Scenario
If gold breaks and closes below $4,255, selling pressure could increase, with the next potential areas around $4,235 and $4,200.
A sustained move below $4,235 would indicate that sellers are maintaining control of the short-term structure, with $4,150 becoming an important lower support area.
🟢 Bullish Scenario
For buyers, the important zone is $4,305–$4,317.
If XAU/USD breaks above this area and successfully holds it as support, gold could attempt a recovery toward:
$4,350 → $4,400 → $4,450
A temporary spike above resistance without confirmation should be treated cautiously.
🌎 Fundamental Factors
Gold remains sensitive to movements in the U.S. dollar, Treasury yields, inflation expectations, and Federal Reserve policy expectations.
The upcoming U.S. economic calendar is particularly important, with inflation and employment-related data scheduled during the week. These releases could increase volatility in gold.
