Gold Price Outlook

Gold’s intraday technical setup remains positive following the decisive recovery from lower levels. The combination of higher price structure, positive MACD, improving volume and rising open interest suggests that buying interest is strengthening. The Rs 1,53,650 region can act as an immediate entry zone, while Rs 1,52,900 remains the key risk-management level.A sustained hold above Rs 1,53,650 could extend the current momentum towards Rs 1,54,000–Rs 1,54,600. A decisive break above Rs 1,54,600 may further improve the upside structure. However, a break below Rs 1,52,900 would weaken the immediate bullish setup.Overall Bias: Bullish above Rs 1,52,900; Buy on dips near Rs 1,53,650.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market, or any other asset classes or personal finance management tips given by experts and analysts are their own.
