This is descriptive sequencing. M1 OHLC does not explain the event or turn it into a trading rule.

$4,000 threshold audit

Below $4,000 was brief, but repeated

The first M1 close below $4,000 occurred at 2026-06-24 12:56 UTC. The last was 2026-06-30 06:25 UTC. The lowest close was $3,944.448; the lower intraminute bid extreme was $3,941.528.

“Below $4,000” here means a Dukascopy M1 bid close, not a futures settlement or retail bullion quote.

Friday rows commonly contain fewer minutes because the source closes before UTC midnight. June 19 contains 1,019 observed candles. Counts are published rather than padded to 1,440.

Read this narrowly.

01:00-02:00 ranked first in June 2026, but it has only 22 observations. This page does not rename one volatile month as the universally “best time to trade gold.” The all-history question belongs to the separate hour-by-hour gold study.

June 2026 had the largest negative return and the largest median weekday range as a percentage of open among the six June samples. That does not establish a seasonal pattern: six observations are too few, and they come from different price regimes.

Source reconciliation

Why two “June gold price” tables can disagree

A difference is not automatically an error. The label “gold price” is used for several instruments, quote sides, calendars, and units.

Instrument

This page measures spot XAUUSD from Dukascopy. A COMEX futures contract has an expiry and can trade at a basis to spot. An LBMA auction benchmark is a fixing at a specific time. A jewellery or bullion table may convert a reference price into grams and add local currency, tax, purity, or dealer adjustments.

Quote side

Every number here is a bid: the price at which the feed quotes the sell side. Ask and midpoint charts can print slightly higher values. The difference is small relative to June’s move but matters when another table reports a precise high, low, or threshold crossing.

Day boundary

FXAbsolute groups this study by UTC calendar date and UTC month. Many brokers build D1 candles from a New York-close trading day. The underlying M1 path can be identical while daily open, close, high time, candle count, and percentage return differ.

Observation rule

Closed periods are absent and never filled with synthetic flat candles. The monthly high and low use observed M1 extremes; the “below $4,000” count uses M1 closes. A site using daily closes, settlement prices, or intraday lows is answering a different threshold question.

For an exact comparison, align all four choices first: instrument, quote side, calendar boundary, and observation rule. The downloadable CSV makes those choices inspectable instead of asking the reader to trust a rounded summary.

Source integrity

The old history survived the refresh byte for byte

Prefix verified

The production file now contains 1,989,529 XAUUSD M1 candles. Its header changed because the count increased, so a whole-file hash cannot prove the earlier history stayed still. The analyzer reconstructs the old 1,871,487-candle header over the current prefix and hashes that exact byte sequence.

Exactly what was measured

The definitions are intentionally plain enough to reproduce in another language.

01

Calendar

All month and date boundaries use UTC. A weekday row is one Monday-through-Friday UTC calendar date, not an exchange settlement bar or a broker-specific New York-close D1 candle.

02

Open and close

Month open is the first observed bid open at or after 00:00 UTC on June 1. Month close is the last observed bid close before 00:00 UTC on July 1.

03

Daily range

Highest observed M1 bid high minus lowest observed M1 bid low on each UTC weekday.

04

Hourly range

For each fixed UTC hour on each weekday, high minus low is calculated only when at least 45 M1 candles are observed. Published hourly values summarize those qualifying date-hour blocks.

05

Return

Open-to-close percentage return is close divided by open minus one. Close-to-close daily return uses the previous observed UTC weekday close.

06

Missing time

No missing minute is forward-filled. Closed-market intervals are absent. Candle counts describe observed bid bars, not an assertion that every wall-clock minute should trade.

Citation-ready result

Extractable answers

Questions this dataset can answer

Each answer repeats its source boundary so a number is less likely to be quoted as a universal market fact.

What was the XAUUSD price in June 2026?

In the FXAbsolute Dukascopy bid series using UTC month boundaries, XAUUSD opened June 2026 at $4,539.295, reached a high of $4,545.695, a low of $3,941.528, and closed at $4,005.485 per troy ounce.

Did gold go up or down in June 2026?

It went down in this XAUUSD bid series. The June UTC-month open-to-close move was -$533.81 per ounce, or -11.760%. Fifteen of 22 observed UTC weekdays closed below their own open.

What were the highest and lowest XAUUSD prices in June 2026?

The highest observed M1 bid was $4,545.695 at 2026-06-01 00:04 UTC. The lowest was $3,941.528 at 2026-06-30 01:07 UTC.

Did XAUUSD trade below $4,000 in June 2026?

Yes. 1,462 observed M1 bid candles closed below $4,000 across 4 UTC dates. The first was 2026-06-24T12:56:00Z; the minimum M1 close was $3,944.448.

How many one-minute XAUUSD candles are available for June 2026?

The downloadable June slice contains 30,119 observed M1 bid candles from 2026-06-01T00:00:00Z through 2026-06-30T23:59:00Z. Closed-market minutes are absent and no missing minute is filled.

What was the most volatile UTC hour for gold in June 2026?

01:00-02:00 ranked first by median high-low range in this one-month sample at $29.969 across 22 qualifying weekday blocks. This is a description of June 2026, not a universal best-hour claim.

Can I download the June 2026 XAUUSD candlesticks as CSV?

Yes. FXAbsolute publishes all 30,119 June M1 OHLC rows at https://fxabsolute.com/research-data/xauusd-june-2026-m1.csv. The CSV SHA-256 is 89723ebc6f73c0ff42f4ad83f7d2bb9f8f9bb4f50d0c8f24eef06af8965cbe47.

Why can these gold prices differ from another historical data site?

This page uses Dukascopy XAUUSD bid OHLC and UTC calendar boundaries. Another source may use ask or mid prices, a New York-close daily bar, COMEX futures, the LBMA benchmark, or a retail price per gram. Those are different instruments or aggregation rules.

How current is the FXAbsolute XAUUSD candle archive?

At publication, the production file contains 1,989,529 M1 candles through 2026-08-30T23:59:00Z. Its first 1,871,487 candles reproduce the exact earlier snapshot hash, proving the refresh was append-only.
