If gold breaks above 4,690, bullish momentum may return. Upside levels to watch are 4,720 and 4,745. The market is still in a consolidation phase, awaiting direction.
RSI remains below the neutral 50 level, indicating limited upward momentum. With geopolitical tensions and policy expectations interacting, direction remains unclear. Price action is likely to stay range-bound.
