Today’s analysis delivers a comprehensive overview of the gold and silver markets, highlighting the key fundamental and technical factors shaping current trends. This report is designed to provide investors with the insights they need to navigate these markets with confidence.
Gold prices have dropped to a more than one-week low as the Federal Reserve’s hawkish tone continues to outweigh escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. With no major U.S. economic data releases scheduled for Friday, gold remains primarily driven by U.S. Dollar movements and broader market sentiment.
Adding to the geopolitical backdrop, former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly stated he would give a final opportunity to negotiate an end to Iran’s nuclear program. He indicated on Thursday that a decision on potential military action could be delayed for up to two weeks, adding further uncertainty to market dynamics.
RSI & Stochastics: The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 52, pointing slightly downward but still above the midline, keeping bullish hopes alive. Meanwhile, the short-term Stochastics Oscillator sits at 32, nearing oversold territory.
Support Levels: Key support lies at $3,320. A daily or weekly close below this level could trigger further downside, with the next significant support at $3,293, corresponding to the Fibonacci retracement of the April rally.
Resistance Levels: For bullish momentum to resume, gold must decisively break above $3,380, opening the door for a retest of the $3,400 supply zone.
RSI & Stochastics: The 14-day RSI stands at 55, indicating modest bullish bias, while the short-term Stochastics Oscillator at 52 suggests a neutral stance with room for directional movement.
Key Resistance: A decisive close above the $36.70 level would be a bullish signal, potentially opening the path to retest the $37.33 high.
Support Levels: Initial support is seen around $35.00, followed by stronger demand near $34.50, which may serve as a base if the current pullback deepens.
