Gold (XAU/USD) has undergone a technical pullback following a recent bullish rally. Initially, analysts monitored the metal as it faced rejection near the 4,210 level, identifying primary support clusters between 4,120 and 4,150. By mid-October, price action showed signs of downward pressure, with bearish engulfing patterns appearing on short-term charts. During the New York session, gold traded around the 4,140 level, positioned below the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of approximately 4,153. Market data indicated price compression near the 4,139 value-area low, with analysts noting that a close below 4,139 could lead toward the daily low. On October 14, 2026, gold prices experienced a sharp decline, with spot gold falling 1.7% to approximately $4,086 per ounce. This drop marked a three-day losing streak and reached the lowest level since early October. The decline was driven by US Labor Department inflation reports showing that core consumer prices rose by 0.3% in September, exceeding the expected 0.2%. Additionally, consumer prices rose 0.6% in September, while the annual inflation rate climbed to 3.7%. This persistent inflation increased market expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Following this decline, gold prices showed signs of recovery, rebounding toward $4,135. Analysts at Dupoin Futures identified $4,146 as a critical support level that could determine the direction of a potential bullish trend. If this level holds, resistance targets are identified between $4,226 and $4,253. Despite geopolitical uncertainty providing safe-haven demand, the metal continues to face headwinds from a strong US dollar and high US Treasury yields. In the broader precious metals market, silver has tested its July lows at $55, while the gold mining sector, represented by the HUI index, may face further downward pressure before bottoming. By late October 14, gold prices showed further signs of recovery, trading near the $4,174 level.
