_XAU/USD 15-Minute Technical Analysis_

Gold is attempting a recovery after a sharp drop to $4,464, but faces immediate resistance near $4,530 on the 15-minute chart.

What the Chart Shows
- *Sharp Drop and Bounce*: Gold fell from $4,548 to $4,464 in a steep selloff, then bounced to $4,502. The chart marks a projected bounce toward $4,530 before a potential rejection.
- *Key Resistance Zone*: $4,530–$4,551, highlighted in red and blue. The current price at $4,530.237 is testing the lower edge of this zone. A rejection here could trigger the next leg down.
- *Key Support Zone*: $4,480–$4,517, highlighted in blue. The chart projects a drop toward $4,480.813 if resistance holds.

What It Means
The bounce looks corrective so far. Price needs to break and hold above $4,551 to shift bias bullish and target $4,568. If rejected at $4,530–$4,551, the structure favors a drop back toward $4,517 and $4,480.

The drawn path suggests a "bounce and drop" scenario, with $4,480 as the next downside target.

Bottom Line
Gold is at a short-term inflection point near $4,530. Watch for a confirmed rejection or breakout here to set the next direction. Until $4,551 is cleared, the trend remains bearish on this timeframe.
