XAUUSD LONG · COMMODITIES

XAUUSD has established a multi-month base near 3937 and has staged a sharp recovery into the Fibonacci retracement structure since early August. Price is currently consolidating just below the 0.382 retracement level at 4302, which represents a key structural inflection point. A sustained break above 4302 opens the path toward the 0.5 level at 4415, while failure to hold 4163 (0.236) would invalidate the near-term recovery thesis.
