  XAUUSD Support and Resistance Levels (17 Feb 2026 Gold Price Forecast)

• • Bullish Scenario: A sustained 4-hour close above $5,050 would invalidate the short-term bearish bias, potentially opening the path toward the intermediate resistance at $5,448 and the all-time high of $5,602.

  • Bearish Scenario: If the price fails to hold the $4,950 level, the current rebound is likely to end, with a potential slide back toward deeper liquidity zones at $4,800 or even $4,655.

  • Fundamental Context: Prices were supported by weaker-than-expected US inflation (CPI) data released on February 17, which strengthened hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts in March

XAU/USD Gold Fundamental Analysis

• Interest Rates/Debt: US sovereign debt crisis may force Fed easing (lower rates/printing), bullish for gold as fiat confidence drops.​

• Inflation/Geopolitics: High volatility from tensions; inflation expectations support hedging demand.​

• Central Banks/Economy: Dovish Fed pivot, weak USD below 101.5 could push prices higher; key catalysts ahead.

  Mixed overall, but daily moving averages point to "Strong Buy." Some see the recent uptick as just a temporary fix, not a full trend shift.

  बाजार का मूड

  कुल मिलाकर मिश्रित, लेकिन दैनिक मूविंग एवरेज "मजबूत खरीद" की ओर इशारा करते हैं। कुछ विश्लेषक हाल की तेजी को अस्थायी सुधार मानते हैं, न कि पूर्ण ट्रेंड बदलाव।

  मोमेंटम इंडिकेटर्स

  • RSI (14): 61.79 पर तटस्थ-सकारात्मक—ओवरबॉट होने से पहले और ऊपर जाने की गुंजाइश।

  • MACD (12,26): 6.36 पर "खरीद" सिग्नल, भालुओं का दबाव कम हो रहा है।

  • Stochastic (9,6): 82.18 पर शॉर्ट-टर्म ओवरबॉट स्थिति।

Trading Strategies Updates

• Scalping/Day/Swing: Use liquidity sweeps, fake breakouts; buy lows in uptrend post-sweeps (50% retrace targets); top-down analysis with order blocks.​

• Bias/Invalidation: Bullish above key supports (no close below range); bearish below resistances; mechanical entries on pullbacks.​

• Risk Focus: Volatility high post-January reversal; position size near levels like $4,820/$4,530/.
