The setup remains constructive, with prices consolidating within a narrow band under the $4,381.32 high recorded in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short-term moving averages (5-, 10-, and 30-day) continue to trend upwards in a bullish formation, and the recent daily closes above $4,270 suggest that buying interest is still strong.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2025\/12\/xauusd-12-dec.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34048\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MACD histogram has turned green again, with the signal lines beginning to converge \u2014 hinting at a possible resurgence in bullish momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Support is located around $4,200, with stronger support near $4,050, while resistance remains capped at the all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A clean break above $4,300 could open the door to a move towards the $4,450\u2013$4,500 region. For now, the overall trend remains positive, with gold appearing to coil for another potential advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Cautious Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With gold remaining resilient despite bouts of profit-taking, the near-term bias stays tilted to the upside. Should the Fed maintain its dovish tone and broader data continue to point towards a softening labour market, gold could attempt to retest the $4,380\u2013$4,400 zone. However, a stronger-than-expected payrolls figure may postpone such a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsmy.com\/trade-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Open your live VT Markets account\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>and<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarketsmy.com\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0begin trading today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold prices eased slightly on Friday but continued to hover near a seven-week high, buoyed by rising expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its easing cycle into next year.
