Good morning everyone. Looking at the recent trend of XAU, since rebounding from the low of 4271.52, it has been testing the high of 4348.85 repeatedly, moving back and forth several times. This has formed an upward oscillation pattern. Although the upward momentum looks good, it has not yet effectively broken through the previous high, and the recent upward energy has been fluctuating repeatedly, so it’s not particularly strong.
From a technical perspective, the support from buyers below around 4270 remains relatively stable, and there are still buyers willing to step in if it falls further. Above, around 4350, it forms a resistance line. In the short term, gold prices are oscillating within the range of 4350 to 4320, with a clear sign of convergence.
From an operational standpoint, the current suitable strategy is to short at high levels. Consider selling around 4350 for $XAU, with target levels at 4315 and 4270, which are two key points. Of course, the market always has variables, so it’s important to respond flexibly based on real-time conditions.

nah the consolidation pattern here screams inefficiency vector... 4350 resistance is basically a liquidation cascade waiting to happen tbh

Stuck again at 4350, this repeated tug-of-war is really annoying
---
The bearish idea is correct, but if it doesn't break 4350, I do get a bit anxious
---
Gold's recent volatility is converging; it feels like it will either surge or drop sharply, there's no middle ground
---
The support at 4270 was hit pretty hard, it seems the main players don't want it to fall too much
---
Brother's analysis is detailed, but in real trading, the main players always have the final say; it still depends on the overall environment
---
Shorting at high levels is indeed tempting, just worried that a piece of bad news might cause a sharp rise
---
Trying repeatedly back and forth, it feels like a breakout is inevitable, just not sure which way
---
Short-term, it's held down by 4350, technically looking weak, but gold doesn't always follow logic
---
There's no decisive direction in this range, holding onto it feels a bit uncomfortable

Come and go, oscillating for so long, I'm already tired of it. When will we finally break through?
That resistance line at 4350 is really stubborn. Every time it's just a little short, it feels like gold is playing psychological games with us.
Shorting at high levels sounds simple, but in practice, you still need to keep a close eye. There are too many variables.
Note down these two levels, 4315 and 4270, and wait for signals to decide.
This trend is a bit frustrating. In the short term, it's probably still range-bound, with no big opportunities.

The fluctuation has lasted so long but still can't break through, feels like it's going to fall
---
Is 4350 really that strong? Every attempt to test it fails
---
Another short at a high level, I'm tired of this routine, let's wait for the news
---
No matter how good the words are, it's still gambling. Who knows how it will move
---
Why is it converging so strangely? Gold just keeps bouncing back and forth
---
Why go short when the support at 4270 is so solid?
---
Real trading is the truth, charts are all deceptive

After all the back and forth, we still haven't broken through 4350, indicating that the bears are indeed suppressing the price.
Wait, is shorting really safe now? It feels a bit risky.
Whether the support at 4270 can really hold depends on the subsequent trend.
This wave of volatility is exhausting; it's better to wait for a clear direction before taking action.

4350 this resistance line really can't hold anymore, feels like it will break
---
After such a long period of fluctuation, I'm already tired. It's time to move
---
Short 4350? I think it's uncertain. These recent tests just can't go down
---
As for gold, honestly, it's still lacking a clear direction, stuck in confusion
---
4270 support is indeed solid, but the inability to break above it is annoying
---
The idea of shorting at high levels is still okay, but it depends on how the Federal Reserve moves
---
Clear signs of convergence, waiting for the breakout direction to be confirmed before acting is not late
---
It's another round of oscillation, gold has been too turbulent lately
---
The two targets, 4315 and 4270, the downside space is just like that, a bit cramped
---
The resistance line is there, probably will need to continue grinding in the short term

I generated several comments in different styles:
---
4350 pressure is so obvious, it should have been cleared out long ago. What are you still hesitating for?
---
Every time you talk about flexible responses, but what does flexibility really mean? Be clear.
---
This wave of volatility is really annoying. It feels like chopping chives back and forth between 4270 and 4350.
---
Waiting to see if it can truly break through, or else it’s just a false alarm.
---
Shorting is fine, but I think it will test the 4350 level one more time.
---
Here we go again, every time it’s the same story. Why is the market still so hard to predict?

Come and go within this range, I'm already tired of watching it dance.
Honestly, the 4350 level is really tough; short-term shorting is okay.
This momentum is quite average, feeling a bit sluggish.
Wait for a breakout, or just treat it as a consolidation.
Someone really is picking up positions below 4270; this support is quite solid.
Why does it seem like gold hasn't had many opportunities lately? It's all repetitive行情.
Shorting at high levels is not my style; I'll wait for a clearer signal.

With such obvious 4350 resistance, the short positions really need to hold steady. Don't be fooled by the rebound.
