What This Means for Investors
For investors who missed the first rush, the steep decline from record highs presents a possible entry point. Important stages to monitor:
International:
- Support: $5,000 per ounce
- Resistance: $5,300 per ounce
Domestic (Delhi 24K):
- Support: ₹1,65,000 per 10g
- Resistance: ₹1,75,000 per 10g
For long-term investors, gold's role as a portfolio protector has been reaffirmed by the recent surge to record highs. The geopolitical backdrop remains highly uncertain, and central bank buying continues to provide structural support. Systematic investment plans (SIPs) in gold ETFs or digital gold remain an effective strategy for participating in the precious metals uptrend while managing entry timing risk.
