Today’s analysis offers a detailed overview of the gold and silver markets, highlighting the key fundamental and technical factors shaping current trends. Our report is designed to provide investors with the insights needed to navigate these markets confidently and effectively.
Gold slipped below $4,100 during Wednesday’s Asian session, extending its decline following the steepest selloff in over a decade. Traders took profits after a nine-week rally that pushed the precious metal to successive record highs. Market attention also focused on trade discussions between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Malaysia, aimed at easing renewed trade tensions. Investors remain watchful of updates on the US-China trade talks, the ongoing US government shutdown, and the cancellation of the meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Gold tested key support around $4,004, where the 21-day Moving Average intersects with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the parabolic rise since mid-August. Bulls need to reclaim $4,200 to maintain momentum toward the all-time high of $4,382, with the $4,300 level acting as an interim hurdle. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has paused its pullback from extreme overbought territory, indicating that the longer-term bullish outlook for Gold remains intact.
Conversely, if the support cluster near $4,000 fails, a sharper correction could emerge, targeting the 50% Fibonacci retracement around $3,847.
The gold market stands at a pivotal point, with key support and resistance levels shaping potential upcoming price movements.
Silver continues its decline after retreating from a fresh record high of $54.50, currently trading below $50.00 per ounce. The metal has dropped roughly 7.5% as the gold/silver ratio climbs from 80.00 to 85.00. Technically, silver has broken below the $51.00–$50.00 support zone and appears to be heading toward the next support range at $48.00–$46.00. The short-term Stochastics Oscillator stands at 44, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 51.
