*Gold Falls 1.96% to $4,560.95 as Sellers Defend $4,589 Resistance*

Gold Spot/XAUUSD is trading at $4,560.945 on the 15-minute chart as of 02:42 UTC, down $91.09 on the day after failing to hold above the $4,589 resistance zone.

The metal rallied into the $4,589.29 level earlier but was rejected, triggering a steady drop into the pink support zone around $4,558.08. Buyers have managed to slow the decline near $4,560, but momentum remains to the downside.

*Key Levels to Watch*

- *Resistance*: $4,589.29 is the immediate barrier. Above that, $4,605.53 and $4,623.66 are the next supply zones. A break above $4,721.97 would be needed to flip the short-term bias bullish.

- *Support*: $4,558.08 is holding for now. A break below opens the path toward $4,519.62 and $4,511.17, with $4,493.32 as the next downside target.

*Outlook*

The structure remains bearish while gold trades below $4,589. The chart shows lower highs forming on the 15-minute timeframe, with sellers in control. A bounce toward $4,589 is likely to attract renewed selling interest.

Only a break and close above $4,589 would shift momentum back to the bulls. For now, the path of least resistance stays lower, with $4,558 and $4,519 as the next levels to watch.
