A classic range-bound consolidation with a potential breakout setup forming.
🔧 Key Technical Levels:
Resistance: Around $3,280 — if price breaks this cleanly, bulls could push for a strong continuation.
Immediate Resistance Zone: $3,240–3,245
Support: Around $3,220 (key short-term structure)
Pivot Zone: Near $3,200–3,190 — a break below here could signal deeper downside toward $3,160
Volume: Noticeably dropping (marked by the red arrow), which often precedes a strong move. Low volume = indecision = potential volatility spike incoming.
🧠 Chart Pattern Insight:
A bullish flag/pennant type setup is visible — consolidation after an impulsive uptrend.
Arrows indicate the two primary scenarios:
📈 Upside: Break above $3,245 with volume could trigger a run toward $3,280+
📉 Downside: Break below $3,220 could drag price down to retest pivot zones or even $3,160
📰 Fundamental Factors to Watch Today:
📅 Key Events/Data Releases:
U.S. Economic Data:
Retail Sales (March) — A surprise in consumer spending could sway USD and gold.

⚖️ Sentiment Snapshot:
Short-term: Neutral to bullish (sideways consolidation near highs)
Medium-term: Bullish bias remains intact above $3,200
Volatility Risk: High — expect fakeouts before a confirmed breakout.
