The gold market is at a pivotal point, with key support and resistance levels signalling possible directions for upcoming price action.
Today’s analysis offers a comprehensive overview of the gold and silver markets, highlighting the key fundamental and technical factors shaping current trends. This report is designed to equip investors with valuable insights to navigate these markets with confidence and clarity.
Gold slips below the $4,000 mark despite a generally risk-averse market mood. The precious metal struggles to attract safe-haven inflows as investors scale back expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut in December. A broadly positive sentiment across global markets is also diverting attention away from Gold. However, lingering concerns over the economic fallout from a prolonged US government shutdown may limit downside pressure on the metal. Additionally, ongoing geopolitical tensions could lend support to bullion and curb deeper losses. Given these mixed signals, traders may prefer to wait for stronger confirmation before anticipating an extended pullback from recent record highs.
Gold’s failure to hold above the 200-hour Moving Average overnight, followed by a retreat, points to potential further downside. However, with daily oscillators in neutral territory, it is prudent to await a decisive break below the previous day’s swing low near $3,960–3,932 before positioning for deeper losses. If that occurs, XAU/USD could accelerate toward the $3,900 intermediate support, potentially testing last week’s swing low around $3,886.
On the upside, any recovery above $4,000 may encounter strong resistance near $4,018, followed by the $4,068–4,075 supply zone. A decisive breach of this area could spark short-covering and help Gold reclaim the $4,100 round level. The short-term Stochastics Oscillator is at 22, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 50.

Silver is retreating as profit-taking pressures mount. The metal was unable to break through the resistance zone at $49.58–$49.86 and has slipped back below the $49.00 mark. A decline below $48.42 could see silver test the next support range around $48.14–$48.00. The short-term Stochastics Oscillator stands at 31, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 49.
Stochastics Oscillator: A momentum indicator that compares the closing price to its price range over a set period. Readings above 80 indicate overbought conditions, while readings below 20 suggest oversold levels.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Measures the speed and magnitude of recent price movements to identify overbought or oversold conditions. Values above 70 signal overbought territory, and below 30 indicate oversold territory.
Note: U.S. government data releases may be affected by the ongoing shutdown. Any “tentative” events are subject to potential delays, revisions, or cancellations.
