Gold: Daily Read | 2026-10-21

Price on Gold (XAU/USD) sits near $4,138, 0.1% lower on the session and down near the floor of its one-month range. The one-month average sits near $4,241, and price is below it, so that line is the pivot the two-way traffic keeps returning to. Momentum has cooled over the last two weeks, roughly 1.3% down, leaving the structure as a downtrend, price under both its one-month and longer averages. The levels that matter are $4,558 overhead, the past month’s swing high, about 10.2% above here, with $4,091 below as the shelf that has held, roughly 1.1% down; the $4,200 and $4,100 round numbers are the nearer handles. Zoom out and the last three months have ranged between $3,993 and $4,771, which frames the bigger picture. For now the tilt is bearish: a close above $4,558 would open room toward $4,771, while losing $4,091 would put $3,993 back in view.

Key levels: support $4,091 (1.1% below), resistance $4,558 (10.2% above), one-month average $4,241, three-month range $3,993 to $4,771.
