Gold confirmed a new lower low on June 11, extending a downtrend from its $5,598 record high and currently trading near $4,324. The decline followed a US-Iran peace deal that eased the geopolitical tensions which had fueled the metal's parabolic rally. Market intelligence expert Clem Chambers, a member of the BeInCrypto Market Intelligence Experts Council, warns the metal may continue falling, describing the movement as a spent rocket coming down. The technical picture now points lower across multiple timeframes, with key support tested at the 0.786 Fibonacci level near $4,044.
Clem Chambers Warns Gold May Fall Further After Parabolic Rally
Chambers frames the decline as a textbook parabolic unwind. He argues the rally rested on geopolitics and sanctions, drivers that are now fading. His recently published long-term chart shows the vertical climb toward $5,500 and the sharp rollover that followed. An arrow labeled "Not impossible" points to further downside.
On June 16, 2026, Chambers posted on social media: "The Gold crash is go."
In an exclusive comment for BeInCrypto, Chambers stated: "Gold went up like a rocket and now looks like it's doing what rocket charts usually do: come down like a rock. Gold's move was about geopolitics and sanctions. As those pressures ease, the demand story that drove gold higher eases with it. Silver ran further and faster than gold because retail investors always prefer the faster horse. I'm not bearish on gold long term, I'm bearish on parabolic charts."
Chambers notes silver ran further and faster as retail traders chased the quicker move. He stresses his caution targets parabolic charts, not gold's long-term value.
Gold Daily Chart Shows Lower Lows Since January 29 Record
The daily structure has carved lower highs and lower lows since the January 29 record at $5,598. On June 11, price set a new lower low and confirmed support at the 0.786 Fibonacci level near $4,044. The metal lost important support at the 0.618 Fibonacci near $4,376.
That broken level now sits as resistance. It lines up with the descending trendline that has capped every rally since the all-time high. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 44 and is bouncing from oversold territory.
The level near $4,044 marks the floor bulls must defend. A break there opens the door to the $3,621 extension. A daily close back above $4,376 would weaken the bearish case.
Gold 4-Hour Chart Tests Descending Channel Resistance
The 4-hour chart shows a breakdown from a descending parallel channel. That break projected a target just below $4,000, almost reached by the June 11 low. A sharp V-shaped recovery has since carried XAU back to the channel's lower band.
Price is now testing the midline, which overlaps with the 0.618 Fibonacci resistance at $4,376. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is close to a bearish cross.
A rejection at the midline would favor continuation of the downtrend. A reclaim of $4,376 would put the bearish thesis on hold. The next few sessions will determine whether the recovery stalls at resistance or pushes through.
