Gold: Slide below $4,000 tests key supports – Societe Generale

Source Fxstreet

Societe Generale analysts note that Gold has broken below its 200-day moving average and the March trough, triggering an accelerated decline. Prices are drifting toward last October’s $3,930–3,885 support zone, with a potential rebound hinging on holding this area. The March low near $4,100 is flagged as first resistance, with failure there risking a persistent downtrend.

Break of 200‑DMA fuels downside pressure

"Gold gave up the 200-DMA in June and gradually breached the trough of March resulting in an accelerated decline. It is drifting towards the trough of last October around $3,930/3,885, which could be a potential support."

"The down move appears a bit stretched; however, it will be important to observe whether Gold can hold above this zone and attempt a durable rebound. First hurdle could be located at the March low of $4,100."

"An inability to cross this resistance may lead to persistence in downtrend."

"The slump in Gold below $4,000/oz signals capitulation in crowded debasement FX trade."
