XAUUSD – Downtrend broken, bullish momentum returns

XAUUSD has broken above the descending trendline and is currently retesting the breakout zone around $3,330. If this area holds, price may continue to rise toward $3,352 and potentially $3,380.

Current price action suggests a bullish continuation pattern is forming. The bullish outlook would be invalidated if price drops below $3,255.

From a fundamental perspective, gold is supported by HSBC’s upward revision of its 2025 forecast, strong central bank demand, and rising geopolitical tensions – all reinforcing a medium-term bullish outlook.
