Gold and Silver saw heavy selling this week, pausing their record-setting advance as traders took profits and liquidity conditions improved. The decline has raised questions about whether the market is entering a deeper downturn, but technicals suggest the move is more of a healthy correction within a still-bullish backdrop.
Reports of increased Silver flows from the U.S. and China into London’s spot market added to the selling pressure, easing recent supply constraints that had intensified price momentum. The additional liquidity gave traders room to unwind speculative positions, accelerating the pullback but also helping to stabilize the market longer-term. This as part of a natural rebalancing after overbought conditions earlier in the month.
While the losses have been sharp, there is no clear structural threat to the broader uptrend. The latest pullback reflects profit-taking and short-term positioning adjustments rather than a breakdown in investor confidence. Demand for precious metals remains underpinned by global macro uncertainty, moderate inflation expectations, and central bank diversification away from U.S. assets.
Technically, Gold remains supported above 3,944.57 cluster, a level that separates sideway consolidation from deeper correction. As long as this level holds, consolidations from 4,381.22 should remain relatively brief. Sustained break above 4,381.22 would signal renewed strength, opening the path toward 161.8% projection of 2,584.24 to 3,499.79 from 3,267.90 at 4,749.25.
However, break of 3,944.57 would argue the latest rise leg from 3,267.90 has completed, and bring deeper correction to 55 D EMA (now at 3,781.78). Such a move would extend consolidation but not necessarily signal a full trend reversal.
Silver is showing a similar pattern. As long as 47.30 cluster holds, correction from 54.44 should stay shallow and short-lived. Another rise to 200% projection of 28.28 to 39.49 from 36.93 at 59.30 should be seen sooner rather than later.
However, a fall below 47.30, would trigger deeper pullback toward 55 D EMA (now at 44.76), before uptrend resumes.
