RSI and MACD still appear to leave some room for further gains, while an important Fibonacci resistance level is located near $4,600, where stronger price action can also be seen, including the May consolidation that preceded the subsequent decline.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1063\" data-start=\"666\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-source-description=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/goontrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/chart-2026-08-17t104029-610.png\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"chart-2026-08-17t104029-610\"><\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1082\" data-start=\"1065\">Source: xStation5<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1575\" data-start=\"1084\">On the daily chart, the $4,300 area looks even more important because the 200-session EMA200 (red line) is located there. After briefly falling below this moving average, gold quickly returned to growth. The proximity of the EMA200 itself appears to suggest that, in a scenario where the upward trend resumes, gold could still have considerable room to rise\u2014especially if expectations regarding Fed and ECB policy become more dovish and oil prices gradually decline toward $70\u201380 per barrel.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1575\" data-start=\"1084\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"821\" src=\"https:\/\/goontrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/chart-2026-08-17t110752-530.png\" width=\"1761\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"chart-2026-08-17t110752-530\">Source: xStation5<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\">XTB.COM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\ude80 Experience Ultra-Low Latency Trading &#8212; \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Trade with a Regulated Global Broker \u00a0 Gold prices opened the week higher on global markets, with gold rising 0.5% to around $4,400 and extending Friday\u2019s gains, while silver is up nearly 1.5%.
