If we can finally have H4 candle close above this pesky resistance that the price is constantly failing to close above, then we will finally see a decent rally on gold. The said resistance is at 4060$. We need a close above it on H4 and have to remain above it for the next couple of h4 candles. Retest and rally would be the best case scenario.

Sterling traded near 1.3435 as softer UK labor market data reinforced expectations that the Bank of England could move toward a less restrictive policy stance. Payrolled employment continued to decline, vacancies fell further, and wage growth eased, pointing to a gradual cooling in labor market conditions despite unemployment remaining relatively low.

However, downside pressure on the pound was partly offset by weaker U.S. inflation, which weighed on the dollar, while ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continued to support safe-haven demand for the dollar. Investors now await upcoming UK inflation data for further clues on the Bank of England's policy path.

From a technical view, resistance stands near 1.3500, with support around 1.3410.

R1: 1.3500 | S1: 1.3410
R2: 1.3540 | S2: 1.3340
R3: 1.3600 | S3: 1.3270
