XAUt Successfully Breaks Through US$4,100
The rise of XAUt above US$4,100 indicates that momentum for digital gold is strengthening again after several days of trading between US$4,040 and US$4,060.
CoinGecko historical data shows that XAUt closed at approximately US$4,048.50 on August 3 and US$4,058.07 on August 4. The move toward US$4,118 on August 5 demonstrates an acceleration in gains during recent trading.
On a weekly basis, the price of XAUt is up about 2.5%. However, the price still needs to hold above US$4,100 to confirm that the breakout is not merely temporary.

Spot Gold Prices Also Strengthen
The rise in XAUt is in line with global gold movements. In Asian trading, spot gold prices rose about 0.2% to US$4,085.77 per troy ounce.
This strengthening occurred as the market continues to weigh the uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Iran relations and its impact on oil shipping routes, inflation, and bond yields.
Comex gold contracts previously closed up 1.5% at around US$4,095.40 per troy ounce on August 4. The increase followed U.S. labor data showing a moderate slowdown, leading the market to reconsider the possibility of looser monetary policy.
XAUt prices may move slightly higher or lower than spot gold because XAUt is traded as a digital asset. In addition to the price of gold, its movement is also influenced by:
- token supply and demand;
- spreads on individual platforms;
- liquidity conditions;
- order book depth;
- trading pairs used;
- price update time.
This difference does not always indicate a change in the amount of gold underlying the token issuance.
XAUt Trading Volume Increases
XAUt trading activity has also seen an increase. The 24-hour trading volume is in the range of US$173.6 million–US$176.2 million, up approximately 36.7% compared to the previous day.
XAUt market capitalization has reached approximately US$2.52 billion, with an estimated circulating supply of around 612,823 tokens.
The rise in volume indicates increased market activity as the price approaches US$4,120. However, high volume can stem from both buying and selling, so it does not automatically guarantee that the price will continue to rise.
JOLTS Data Supports Gold's Rise
The rise in gold also occurred following the release of the United States Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the number of job openings was around 7.4 million in June 2026. The number of hires remained at approximately 5.3 million, while total separations were in the range of 5.4 million.
This data indicates that the labor market is beginning to cool, but has not yet experienced a sharp decline.
For gold and XAUt, a controlled labor market slowdown can be a positive sentiment as it increases expectations that the Federal Reserve has room to loosen monetary policy.
Lower interest rates and bond yields usually make gold relatively more attractive because gold does not pay interest. However, economic data that is too weak can also increase volatility and concerns about an economic slowdown.
ISM Services Becomes Tonight's Catalyst
Market attention on August 5 will shift to the U.S. ISM Services PMI report.
The Institute for Supply Management is scheduled to release the services sector report on August 5 at 10:00 AM Eastern time, or around 9:00 PM WIB.
Several scenarios that could influence XAUt prices include:
- Data stronger than expected
The U.S. dollar and bond yields could strengthen, potentially capping gains for gold. - Data weakens moderately
Expectations for Fed policy easing may increase, supporting gold prices. - Data weakens sharply
Demand for safe-haven assets may rise, but market volatility could also increase.
The market will then await the July employment report, or Nonfarm Payrolls, on Friday, August 7, 2026. The BLS has scheduled the report for 8:30 AM Eastern.
XAUt Price Levels to Watch
Based on recent price action, key levels for XAUt are:
Support
US$4,080–US$4,100
This zone serves as initial support after the price broke through US$4,100. Maintaining levels above this could sustain upward momentum.
US$4,050–US$4,060
This area is near the XAUt closing price from August 3–4 and could serve as the next support level in the event of a correction.
US$4,030–US$4,040
This zone is near the 24-hour trading low and serves as a critical support level should selling pressure intensify.
Resistance
US$4,118–US$4,120
This area is close to the recent trading high.
US$4,140–US$4,150
A breakout above this zone could strengthen short-term bullish momentum.
US$4,200
The next psychological level if the price can maintain gains above US$4,100.
These levels are editorial technical estimates based on recent price ranges and are not a guarantee of future movement. The 24-hour XAUt range is US$4,033.86–US$4,118.93.
Today's XAUt Price Prediction
Bullish Scenario
If XAUt holds above US$4,100 and breaks through US$4,120, the price has the potential to continue rising toward US$4,150.
Bullish momentum could strengthen if:
- spot gold continues to rise;
- the US dollar weakens;
- bond yields fall;
- ISM Services data supports expectations of monetary easing;
- geopolitical uncertainty increases demand for safe-haven assets.
Bullish targets: US$4,120–US$4,150.
Sideways Scenario
If the price fails to break above US$4,120, XAUt may enter a consolidation phase while awaiting U.S. economic data.
Sideways range: US$4,080–US$4,120.
Bearish Scenario
If XAUt falls back below US$4,080, selling pressure could drive the price toward US$4,050–US$4,060.
Losing that zone could open the door for a retest of US$4,030 or the psychological level of US$4,000.
Bearish targets: US$4,000–US$4,060.
XAUt Holdings Rose 9.5% in Q2
In addition to the price increase, Tether reported that customer holdings of XAUt rose by approximately 9.5% during the second quarter of 2026.
The number of tokens sold to customers increased from approximately 559,598 XAUt at the end of the first quarter to 612,823 XAUt at the end of the second quarter. This increase represents an additional holding of approximately 1.66 tons of gold.
As of June 30, 2026, the reserves backing XAUt consisted of approximately 707,747 fine troy ounces of gold, equivalent to approximately 22.01 tons. Tether states that each XAUt is backed by at least one fine troy ounce of physical gold stored in Switzerland.
The growth in holdings indicates that demand for tokenized gold remains resilient despite the correction in gold prices during the second quarter.
Is the Gold Price Correction a DCA Opportunity?
There is no method that can guarantee identifying the bottom or top of gold prices. Investors with long-term goals typically do not rely on a single price point for purchases.
One approach to consider is Dollar Cost Averaging, or DCA. Through this strategy, investors purchase digital gold gradually using a fixed amount at regular intervals.
For example, instead of deploying all capital when the price is around US$4,055, investors can split their purchases into several stages. This method helps reduce the risk of allocating all capital at a single price, especially when the market is still fluctuating.
A price correction does not always mean the trend will immediately reverse upward. Investors still need to monitor the direction of Fed policy, the value of the U.S. dollar, bond yields, central bank demand, and geopolitical conditions before making decisions.
What is XAUt?
Tether Gold, or XAUt, is a blockchain-based digital asset that provides ownership of physical gold. Each XAUt represents one fine troy ounce of gold on an LBMA-standard gold bar held by a custodian.
Investors do not have to purchase a full token. XAUt can be divided into six decimal places, allowing gold ownership to start from smaller fractions.
These characteristics allow XAUt to combine exposure to gold prices with the flexibility of a digital asset. Investors do not need to store physical gold bars themselves, but they still need to understand the risks associated with market prices, platforms, liquidity, blockchain technology, and the token issuer's terms.
Differences Between XAUT/IDR, XAUT/USDT, and XAUT/USDC
The prices seen on each trading pair may show slight differences.
XAUT/IDR shows the value of XAUt directly against the rupiah. Its movement is influenced by global gold prices, the USD/IDR exchange rate, and supply and demand conditions in the local market.
XAUT/USDT shows the price of XAUt against USDT, while XAUT/USDC shows the price of XAUt against USDC. Since both use assets designed to track the value of the US dollar, their prices are usually close to the value of XAUt in dollars.
Small differences between pairs can occur due to price update timing, spreads, order book depth, and liquidity in each respective market. Therefore, investors should check the buy price, sell price, and transaction fees before placing an order.
