Trading Signals for XAU/USD on June 17-19, 2026: buy above $4,315 (triangle pattern - 6/8 Murray)

This image is no longer relevant

Gold is trading at $4,335, testing the strong resistance of the ascending trend channel formed since early May, and could be targeting the 6/8 Murray level around $4,375.

Gold has found strong support around $4,315 for several consecutive sessions and has attempted to break below this zone but has been unsuccessful. We have observed a technical bounce, and this is the key level to watch in the coming hours. If the price holds above this zone, our plan in the next few hours could be to continue buying.

Should gold break below $4,315 and consolidate below the 21-period SMA around $4,299, it could be considered a selling opportunity with targets at the gap closure around $4,225. Finally, we could expect it to reach the 5/8 Murray level around $4,064 in the coming days.

Should the resistance at $4,375 prove to be strong and prevent gold from a further uptrend, a triple top pattern could show up. This would signify a short-term technical reversal and suggest selling gold in the coming days.

We must closely monitor the price action of gold, as this area is indecisive, and we should proceed with caution since we cannot technically determine whether gold will continue to rise or fall in the coming hours.

To open short positions, a good entry point would be below the 6/8 Murray level. Once a technical reversal pattern below this zone is confirmed, we could then sell with targets at $4,300 and $4,225.

Technically, a small triangle pattern is forming, and a decisive break in either direction of this pattern could determine our potential entry point to buy or sell in the coming hours.

The Eagle indicator is approaching overbought levels, so we could expect a technical reversal in gold in the coming days. However, we must be attentive to price developments. If the instrument consolidates below the 6/8 Murray level, the outlook could be bearish.
