This usually reflects cautious sentiment from buyers, especially when momentum starts fading near resistance areas. If gold remains below the <strong>4,850<\/strong> resistance zone, the market could continue <strong>targeting<\/strong> lower levels toward <strong>4,500<\/strong> and potentially deeper support zones if bearish momentum accelerates.<\/p>\n<p>On the <strong>fundamental<\/strong> side, the pressure on gold is also connected to the current strength in the <strong>U.S. Dollar<\/strong> and the market\u2019s reaction to global political developments. Investors are still watching the ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, but unlike previous periods where geopolitical fear pushed gold aggressively higher, markets now appear more focused on inflation expectations, oil prices, and monetary policy direction.<\/p>\n<p>Higher <strong>oil price<\/strong>s continue creating concerns about <strong>inflation<\/strong> stability, yet at the same time, expectations that central banks may keep interest rates elevated for longer are supporting the dollar. This environment usually creates pressure on gold because stronger yields and a stronger dollar reduce the attractiveness of non-yielding assets like gold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In my view<\/strong>, gold is currently moving in a sensitive phase. The long-term trend still carries strong bullish potential, especially if geopolitical risks increase again or inflation returns aggressively. <strong>However<\/strong>, on the medium-term and short-term structure, the <strong>4H<\/strong> downtrend remains dominant until buyers can clearly reclaim the <strong>4,850<\/strong> resistance area and break the descending trendline with strong momentum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For now,<\/strong> traders should continue watching price behavior carefully around key support and resistance levels because volatility remains very high across commodities and safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prepared by: Motasm Adel, <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Senior Market Analyst \u2013 OneRoyal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Risk Disclaimer:<\/strong> Trading involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
