Gold | Market Outlook | 26-02-2026
The market is in a strong bullish phase overall, with gold trading around $5,185β$5,195 (consolidating near recent highs after a sharp recovery from February lows near $4,900β$4,950).
Daily Pivot:
Around $5,170β$5,180 (based on recent daily closes and mid-range from the latest sessions; price is holding above this pivot, supporting short-term bullish bias).
Resistance levels:
5,205β5,210 (recent daily high zone from the past session; first test of overhead supply).
Major Resistance: 5,250β5,255 (key consolidation ceiling on H4/Higher timeframes; multiple failed attempts to sustain above this area recently, acting as a strong barrier. Breakout above would target 5,290β5,300 as the next macro supply).
Support levels:
5,155β5,165 (recent pullback low and breakout origin from mid-February; prior resistance flipped to support).
Deeper Support: 5,100β5,120 (major structural floor; previous capping level in early February now key defense for bulls. Below this risks deeper correction toward 4,988β5,000 psychological/prior swing area).
Weekly Swings / Macro Range:
Recent Swing High: ~5,586β5,608 (all-time high zone from January 2026; major macro ceiling after parabolic advance).
Recent Swing Low: ~4,900β4,950 (February correction low; aggressive bounce origin, defining the current up-leg).
Current Trading Range: 5,000β5,255 (broad weekly consolidation post-recovery; price is in the upper half, testing for expansion higher or rejection).
Key Structural Notes:
On the H4 timeframe, gold displays a clear higher-highs/higher-lows sequence since the February low near 4,900β4,950, confirming bullish market structure after a sharp V-shaped recovery. Recent price action shows consolidation below 5,205β5,255 with repeated tests of the upper range boundary, suggesting compression before resolution.
The breakout and close above 5,100 (prior February cap) is structurally significant β itβs now acting as dynamic support on pullbacks.
Momentum remains buyer-favored as long as price defends above 5,100β5,120; failure here would invalidate the short-term uptrend and open risk toward deeper February lows.
Overall macro remains bullish above 5,000, with geopolitical/tariff uncertainties and softer dollar flows supporting safe-haven demand, but watch for rejection at 5,255 as a potential exhaustion signal in the current leg. Trade the structure: buy dips to support zones while the higher-low pattern holds intact.
