- Gold rallies beyond $5,000 to hit a fresh record high just below $5,100.
- Geopolitical tensions, trade uncertainty, and fears of a Yen intervention are hammering the US Dollar.
- XAU/USD rally looks overstretched, and the 4-hour RSI shows bearish divergence.
Gold’s (XAU/USD) keeps marching higher on Monday, boosted by a mix of geopolitical tensions, US President Trump’s new tariff salvo, and a weaker US Dollar amid fears of an immediate Yen intervention. Bullion gapped up above the $5,000 psychological level at Monday's session opening, and is testing resistance at $5,100 at the time of writing.
Precious metals surged on Friday as the US Federal Reserve requested US Dollar-Yen quotes by major US banks, boosting market expectations of a joint US-Japan intervention to support the JPY. Apart from that, the escalating tensions between the US and Iran and Trump’s threat to apply 100% tariffs to Canada have triggered a risk-averse reaction, increasing support for safe havens like Gold.
Technical Analysis
XAU/USD trades at $5,092, with bulls contained below the 161.8% Fibonacci extension of the January 16-21 rally, at $5,100. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) stays above zero and has risen in recent readings, suggesting strengthening bullish momentum, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI), above 80, highlights an overstretched rally, with recent trend showing a bearish divergence.
Above the mentioned $5,100 level, the next target is the 261.8$ Fibonacci retracement of the same cycle, at $5,450.
The pair has rallied more than 10% over the last six days and is screaming for a correction. It's also worth saying that markets tend to fill trading gaps and, in that sense, a reversal to the $5.000-$4,980 area should be considered. A deeper correction would bring the January 23 low, in the $4,900 area, back to the focus.
