Spot is a touch below yesterday's close but remains close to the top of its 30-day range, and well above the 50-day average.
XAUUSD trades at 4,625.08 against a prior close of 4,654.63, both near the 30-day high of 4,696.56. The 50-day average stands at 4,201.68, well below current price, reflecting the distance between the recent trading range and the longer-term average.
A move back toward the 50-day average near 4,201.68 would represent a much larger decline than any seen within the past 30 days.
