Elections and oil unsettle gold: XAUUSD back near 3,940 USD
XAUUSD prices are hovering around 3,940 amid uncertainty surrounding the results of the US midterm elections and falling oil prices. However, expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike in December continue to limit gold's upside potential.
Technical outlook
XAUUSD maintains a bearish structure on the H4 timeframe. Following a sharp decline towards 3,890, prices staged a corrective rebound but failed to consolidate above 3,968 and remain below the middle Bollinger Band.

The XAUUSD forecast for 4 November 2026 suggests that bearish momentum will persist, with a potential downside target at 3,897.
