Gold (XAUUSD) 3H Chart — Trend Intact, Momentum Pausing

 Gold remains in a structurally strong uptrend on the 3-hour timeframe, respecting a rising price channel that has guided price action for several sessions. The recent rally has been sharp and directional, indicating strong underlying demand.

However, price is now approaching the upper boundary of this channel, a zone where momentum often pauses rather than immediately reverses.

Technical Observations

  • Candlestick structure has shifted from expansion to compression

  • Overlapping candles indicate digestion of recent gains

  • No impulsive bearish structure has appeared so far

This behaviour is typical of a mature trend nearing short-term resistance.

Key Technical Levels

  • 5088 – 5100: Upper channel resistance / supply zone

  • 4967: Critical short-term support and trend pivot

  • 4755: Structural support; loss of this level would weaken the trend

Scenarios Ahead

Primary Scenario:
Price consolidates above 4967, allowing the trend to reset before attempting continuation.

Alternate Scenario:
A brief pullback toward 4967 followed by renewed buying interest and trend resumption.

Conclusion

Gold’s larger trend remains bullish. Traders and investors should avoid chasing price near resistance and instead focus on structure, support, and confirmation. This is a pause within strength, not weakness.
