Deep Analysis
Gold’s 7-day path fell from 4,697.70 to 4,506.30 before rebounding to 4,539.80, now looking more like a secondary confirmation above 4,506.30. If price cannot reclaim 4,555.80, the rebound may still be capped by the prior breakdown zone.
Silver outperformed gold on the day but posted a deeper weekly decline, meaning short-term speculative covering is more evident than steady allocation. For active traders, gold is better as a directional anchor, while silver is better for watching whether risk appetite has truly recovered.
