Updated · live dataXAU/USD technical analysis today — 1H, 4H and daily
The gauges below aggregate 26 indicators (moving averages, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ADX, Ichimoku, CCI, Williams %R and more) into a single Buy / Neutral / Sell reading for the 1-hour, 4-hour and daily charts. They update continuously, so this page always shows the current technical picture for XAU/USD rather than a snapshot written this morning. Use the tabs inside each gauge to check 15-minute and weekly readings.
XAU/USD key levels today
Our key-level framework for XAU/USD uses four inputs: (1) yesterday's high, low and close, (2) the daily and weekly pivot points, (3) the nearest round numbers and (4) the 20/50/200-period EMAs on the 4H chart. Where two or more of these coincide, you have a confluence level — the levels that matter most for intraday trading. Read yesterday's high, low and close from the live chart above and plug them into the calculator to get today's pivot, support and resistance grid.
Pivot point & key-level calculator
Enter yesterday's high, low and close (from the chart above) to compute today's classic floor-trader pivots, Fibonacci pivots and Camarilla levels.
What moves XAU/USD
Real US yields (TIPS), the US dollar, Fed rate expectations, central-bank gold purchases, geopolitical risk (Middle East, Ukraine, Taiwan), ETF flows and physical demand from China and India. Gold is the market's default hedge against inflation, currency debasement and conflict.
Correlations
Gold is inversely correlated with the dollar index and real yields, and positively correlated with silver (XAG/USD) and, in risk-off shocks, with the yen and Swiss franc. Oil and gold often rise together on geopolitical escalation.
Trading characteristics
Gold trends hard once psychological levels ($2,000, $2,500, $3,000…) break and tends to retest broken levels before continuing. It moves most during the New York session, when COMEX futures are most active.

How to use this XAU/USD analysis
- Establish bias on the daily and 4H gauges. Only trade in the direction both agree on, or stay flat.
- Mark levels: today's pivot, R1/S1, yesterday's high/low and the nearest round number.
- Time the entry on the 1H or 15-minute chart at a level, ideally during the London fix (10:30 & 15:00 UTC) and the US session.
- Size the trade with the position size calculator so a stop beyond the level risks no more than 1–2% of your account.
- Check the calendar — never hold a tight intraday stop through a red-flag release.
