Gold continues to trade near its all-time highs within a strong ascending channel, supported by a weaker dollar and continued expectations of an accommodative monetary policy.

Holding above the 4300 area reflects the strength of the upward trend, while the MACD shows positive momentum with some natural slowdown after the strong rally. A break above 4355 could open the door for further gains.

Overall trend: Upward
Support: 4305 – 4260
Resistance: 4355 – 4400

Expectation: Continued stability above 4300 supports targeting new highs, while any break below this level could lead to a limited correction without changing the overall trend.
