ETO Markets Analyst View (Spot Gold)

Spot gold has entered a rising trend structure, with 4,705 acting as key support. Holding above this level suggests continued bullish momentum, with upside targets at 4,865 and 4,950.

If prices fall below 4,705, the structure may weaken. Downside levels to watch are 4,655 and 4,605. Overall, the trend is strengthening.

RSI remains bullish, with momentum continuing to build. Price action still favors further upside. With easing geopolitical expectations and safe-haven demand rebalancing, both volatility and trend are elevated. Monitor closely.
