Gold Price Forecast: 51% of mean-reversion signals point to further XAU/USD downside – TDS

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Strategists at TD Securities analyze Gold, Platinum and Silver technical outlook.

Extreme uptrend in Silver is showing signs of turning over

“From a technical lens, Gold now screens most overbought in the precious metals complex with 51% of mean-reversion signals pointing to further downside, but the combined breadth of trend and mean-reversion signals is sending mixed signals for Gold after a boom in physical buying activity supported trend signals higher.”

“Today, the breadth of uptrend signals in Platinum continues to deteriorate, and overbought signals still suggest the consolidation lower has some room to run before prices find a bottom.”

“The extreme uptrend in Silver is showing signs of turning over, with trend signals deteriorating in favor of mean-reversion signals pointing to additional downside.”

USD/JPY retakes 158.00 amid hawkish BoJ bets, firmer USD

USD/JPY erases losses and retakes 158.00 in the Asian session on Monday, trading within a one-week-old range.

Gold flat lines below $4,150 as rallying USD offsets receding Fed hike bets

Gold extends its consolidative price move, trading below $4,150 heading into the European session, and moves within a range held over the past week or so. As investors look past Friday's disappointing US jobs data, the US Dollar regains strong positive traction and rallies to a fresh high since April 2025. This is seen as a key factor capping the commodity, though receding bets for an October rate hike by the Federal Reserve help limit the downside.
