What This Means for Investors
For investors who missed the first spike to $5,400, the steep decline from record highs presents a possible entry point. Important levels to observe:
International:
- Support: $5,000 per ounce
- Resistance: $5,200 per ounce
Domestic (Delhi 24K):
- Support: ₹1,60,000 per 10g
- Resistance: ₹1,68,000 per 10g
For long-term investors, gold's role as a portfolio protector remains intact. Despite the current pullback, the geopolitical backdrop remains uncertain, and central bank buying continues to provide structural support. Systematic investment plans (SIPs) in gold ETFs or digital gold are still an excellent technique for participating in the precious metals uptrend while mitigating entry timing risk.
