March 5, 2026, Spot Gold Analysis Tonight

The price initially rose at the start of the session to face resistance at 5195, then retreated, falling to a low of 5120. It then entered a correction and fluctuated, with a noticeable increase in competition between sellers and buyers. During the day, the price attempted to break higher but encountered selling pressure, then quickly dropped to test the bottom, finally settling at a low level, with broad sideways movement throughout the day and no clear trend.

There is no significant data in the evening, and the market is awaiting the Non-Farm Payroll report tomorrow. U.S. data indicates relative strength, and the market is betting on delaying the Federal Reserve's rate cut, which exerts downward pressure on the gold price. However, tensions in the Middle East have not eased, and funds are moving to buy at the 5120 level, making it difficult to sustain a sharp decline. The balance between sellers and buyers remains, with traders awaiting data to make a decision.

The main range is 5120–5200. 5120 is a strong short-term support; breaking below it could open the door to further declines. The resistance at 5195–5205 is strong, and if the price cannot break above it, it will continue to fluctuate. Currently, indicators are neutral, representing a correction after a significant drop. We do not buy at the highs or sell excessively at the lows.

Night trading plan: If the price returns to and stabilizes within the 5120–5140 level, consider entering light buy positions with a stop loss at 5110. Monitor key levels at 5180, 5200, and 5220. Before the jobs report, it is preferable to trade within the range, entering and exiting quickly with a strict stop loss, and avoiding large positions.

The above is merely a personal suggestion. Please do not rely on it entirely for investment decisions, and follow your own Qing Jingqing Shi plan!!$XAU ‌#XAU
