Gold's bearish technical setup backs the case for a further depreciating move

From a technical perspective, the XAU/USD pair maintains a bearish bias within a downward parallel channel and below the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the 4-hour chart. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near 46, hinting at slightly negative but not oversold momentum. Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line has slipped back below zero with a negative reading, suggesting that recent attempts to stabilize are losing traction within the broader descending structure.
