Societe Generale analysts observe that Gold has been under pressure since losing its 50‑DMA in March and failing to reclaim it on rebounds. They flag the confluence of the 200‑DMA and a multi‑year trend line near $4,350 as critical support, with potential downside towards $4,100 if this area fails, and recent highs acting as resistance.
