Gold Tumbles Toward $4,300: Is the Bull Market Dead?

Gold prices are falling and approaching a support level of $4,376 as selling pressure increases. After breaking down from a technical pattern on May 15th, gold is currently trading around $4,410, down 2% for the day.

Both short-term and slightly longer-term charts are showing increasingly strong downward momentum. Indicators suggest the price may soon be oversold, and widening Bollinger Bands confirm that the selling pressure is building.

4-Hour Chart Loses Channel Midline as RSI Hits 27

Looking at a 4-hour chart, gold has fallen below the middle point of a downward-sloping price channel. It’s now trading near the bottom of that channel, slightly above a key support level of $4,376, which corresponds to the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement.

The 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to 27, indicating that the asset is significantly oversold. At the same time, Bollinger Bands are showing a very wide range, suggesting high volatility. This combination usually means a strong price move will continue in its current direction, rather than reversing.

If the price rises back above $4,609, it could signal that the recent downward trend is losing momentum. Until that happens, slight price drops are still expected as the overall trend remains downward. We previously highlighted this potential downward trend in our earlier reports.

Daily RSI and BBWP Reinforce the Broader Downtrend

The daily chart also indicates a downward trend. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is at 36, which isn’t as low as it was on the 4-hour chart. This suggests the overall downward trend could continue for a while without a quick price increase.

BBWP is showing signs of increasing movement after a period of stability, as indicated by a recent expansion following weeks of tight trading. Typically, when volatility increases after being compressed, the trend continues. This suggests BBWP may continue to decline on a larger timeframe.

Gold fell below a key support level on May 15th and has been declining ever since. This recent drop isn’t a temporary bounce back, but rather a continuation of the downward trend that began when it broke through that support. This pattern aligns with a breakout strategy BeInCrypto discussed earlier in May.

Gold (XAU) Price Prediction Targets $4,044 Below $4,376 Support

As I’m analyzing the daily chart, the first key level I’m watching is the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement around $4,376. If the price falls below that, it suggests further downside potential, potentially towards the 0.786 Fibonacci level at $4,044. That $4,044 level appears to be a significant support area based on the long-term Fibonacci analysis I’ve done.

If the price finds support around $4,376, it could initially rise to $4,609. A stronger recovery might test long-term resistance around $4,842, a level that has consistently limited price increases since February when the price reached over $5,600. Our forecast for May 2026 anticipates this same resistance area.

X analyst Celal Kucuker predicts an even steeper potential drop, forecasting a price of $3,500 by the end of 2026.

“Gold 5600$ 4350$ 5250$ 4000$ 5000$ 4600$ 4200$ (almost) 3500$ 2026 end of year”

The current market expectation matches the downward trend predicted by the longer-term chart. That chart suggests prices could fall from $4,234 to as low as $3,475. This is quite different from the optimistic predictions of a $20,000 price point seen in some futures and options trading.

Currently, the market trends indicate prices are likely to continue falling. This will remain true unless the price can consistently stay above $4,376 despite attempts to sell.
