Safe-haven demand rises amid geopolitical risk and central bank moves

Gold is experiencing increased demand for safe-haven assets, fueled by heightened geopolitical tensions involving the US and Iran and ongoing US-EU tariff disputes. Concerns about global financial instability and central bank independence are also contributing to investor interest in gold. Private-sector and emerging market central banks are diversifying into gold, further supporting its uptrend.

Overbought signals raise short-term pullback risk despite strong trend

Momentum indicators on the daily chart remain decisively bullish, as both the MACD and ADX signal ongoing strength. However, the RSI, Commodity Channel Index, and Stochastic RSI are all deep in overbought territory, reflecting stretched conditions and some risk of short-term exhaustion. Bull/Bear Power reveals persistent buyer dominance, and the Awesome Oscillator confirms the prevailing uptrend. Today’s session saw a notable upward gap at the open, with the current price positioned around the middle of today’s range of $4,761.27 to $4,879.69. Intraday volatility has been high, showing initial strength after the open followed by consolidation away from extremes. The strong momentum supports the bullish tone, though overbought readings highlight a divergence that signals a possibility of short-term pullback or pause.

Bullish breakout odds rise as consolidation persists within upper range

For the next five trading days, gold is expected to fluctuate between $4,800 and $4,970, keeping the range within a typical volatility band relative to current levels. There is a very high probability (more than 80%) that prices will rise, while a decline appears less likely. The baseline scenario sees XAU/USD consolidating within this corridor, with bullish momentum potentially leading to a breakout above $4,870 and toward $4,970 if buying pressure intensifies further. Conversely, a break below dynamic support at $4,800 could trigger a short-term correction toward $4,760.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees gold’s rally as a strong response to rising geopolitical risk and macro uncertainty. He believes robust institutional demand and central bank diversification are fueling sustained bullish momentum, with clear support from technical indicators. Despite overbought readings, the analyst expects the uptrend to hold unless $4,800 breaks on the downside. Karapetjanc states: "With solid fundamentals and persistent risk-off sentiment, I see gold consolidating at higher levels and maintaining its upside bias in the near term."

Previously it was reported that gold prices are consolidating above a key support zone, with technical indicators showing stable momentum and the broader trend still intact despite recent volatility. Moving averages generally point upward, RSI holds above mid-range, and the market structure is characterized by higher lows, positioning gold in a mildly bullish phase with resistance levels at $4,850 and $4,920 and key support at $4,800.
