The precious metals market is surprising us again. News about diplomatic mediation in the strait of hormuz helped cool down geopolitical tensions and stopped the spike in oil prices that was scaring the market. As a result, gold bouncing back from its key $4,000 support level shows that buyers are still in control, especially when you look at the heavy capital flowing into this sector lately.
Looking deeper, we are seeing a cool intersection between traditional macro news and web3 adoption. The precious metals market cap absorbed hundreds of billions of dollars in just a few hours. Around the same time, the abu dhabi global market (ADGM) gave the green light to Tether Gold (XAUT) as a recognized spot commodity. This proves that the RWA (real world assets) narrative is not just hype, but a real bridge sending crypto liquidity straight into gold.
Derivatives market data also shows strong dominance from the bulls. The long/short ratio on major exchanges like binance jumped above 2.7, showing that most traders are feeling really confident about price increases. Even better, this short rally liquidated almost $1 million in short positions over the last 24 hours a clean short squeeze that added more fuel to the upward momentum.
Switching to the daily technical structure, gold reacted very cleanly when touching the green support zone ($4,000 - $4,050). Right now, price is pushing hard to break out and stay above the daily EMA line. If the daily candle closes above this line, the path toward the next supply zone around $4.289 opens up wide. As for the FVG lower down, we can keep it as a backup map in case a worst case scenario happens.
Now, zooming into the 4 hour timeframe, the local structure looks much friendlier for finding entry setups. Gold bounced precisely off the demand order block ($4,043), with the Stochastic indicator turning upward out of the neutral zone. This is a clear sign that intraday buyers still have enough power to test the resistance levels above.
My Opinion
Personally, I am still very comfortable holding a bullish bias for XAU/USD in the short to medium term. The mix of cooling macro tensions, growing RWA adoption, and a squeeze on short positions gives gold more than enough fuel to continue its rally.
However, as traders, we need to stay smart and avoid fomo buying. A heavily skewed Long ratio is often targeted by smart money for liquidity sweeps or sharp fakeouts before pushing the real move higher. The safest move right now is to patiently wait for a buy on dip confirmation near the 4H demand OB ($4,043) with a clean, disciplined stop loss below support.
