Gold at a Decision Zone – Will Safe-Haven Demand Continue or Will Profit Booking Take Over?

Gold remains supported by ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, central bank buying, and cautious sentiment. However, after the recent rally, traders should watch for profit booking near resistance zones.

🎯 Extended Target: 4354

Confirmation Signals

📉 Bearish Scenario

Sell Below: Previous session low / intraday support

Downside Targets:

🎯 Target 1: -4261
🎯 Target 2: -4242
🎯 Extended Target: -4224

Confirmation Signals
