Short-term outlook: Neutral to slightly bullish if risk persists




  • Volatility remains high with markets adjusting post-rally and traders uncertain on direction.




  • If risk aversion increases, gold may benefit as a safe haven; if the dollar strengthens and risk appetite returns, it could stagnate.




Weekend expectation:




  • Gold may consolidate within established support/resistance zones.




  • Traders should watch key technical supports — a strong break lower could fuel sell-offs, while holding support might attract safe-haven bids
