September 26, 2025 | Gold at Technical Resistance

Gold is once again approaching major parallel trend line resistance – a key juncture for both short-term traders and long-term investors. After months of sharp gains, the charts now suggest a likely pullback. Parallel trend channels have historically provided strong support and resistance, and we see this in action: the upper band held after the post-April Liberation Day rally (red arrow), and it is being tested again today.
Technical Picture: Momentum Meets Resistance
- Gold’s 2024 rally began under $2,000, doubling to nearly $3,800.
- After weeks of bullish consolidation (a classic bull flag), the breakout carried prices roughly 13% higher from the base.
- Historically, bull flag breakouts often retrace back toward the prior high before resuming their uptrend.
- This suggests a pullback toward the $3,500 support zone –about 8% lower than current levels.
Investor Implications
- Traders: A pullback could present tactical opportunities to profit from short-term swings.
- Long-term investors: Any correction looks routine within the broader bull cycle. Gold’s trajectory still points toward a possible $5,000 -$6,000 target before this bull market peaks.
- Accumulation strategy: The $3,500 level may offer an attractive entry for those looking to build positions.
Final Take: Pause, Don’t Panic
Gold’s chart signals a likely correction, not a collapse – a pause within a powerful uptrend. Volatility may dominate the near term, but the long-term case for gold remains intact.
Cheers!
