Gold is trading around $5,014, below the 200-day EMA and the 21-day SMA, under downward pressure, and is likely to continue falling in the coming hours.

If gold consolidates above the 200 EMA around $5,046 and breaks above this zone, the uptrend is expected to continue, with the price potentially reaching the 21 SMA around $5,090 and possibly even the top of the uptrend channel around $5,100.

If gold breaks above the 21 SMA and above the bearish trend channel, this could be seen as a buying opportunity, and gold could then return to levels around $5,250—last week's high—and could even reach February's high around $5,450.

Conversely, as long as the instrument trades below the 200 EMA, it means downward pressure. So, the metal is likely to continue falling in the coming hours until it reaches the weekly S_1 support level around $4,896.

Given that gold is showing a positive signal according to the Eagle indicator, we could expect the price to consolidate above $5,046 and then open long positions. We must be cautious, as the price could reach this zone and face strong resistance.
