Fundamentals for the Day
Gold and Silver are witnessing a recovery bounce after recent sharp declines. The primary reason behind the rebound is a weaker U.S. Dollar and growing optimism regarding a possible peace resolution in the Middle East. Reports suggest progress toward a broader U.S.-Iran settlement, reducing immediate war fears and creating short-term volatility across bullion markets.
However, traders should note that U.S. Treasury yields remain elevated due to strong labor market data and expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates higher for longer. Higher yields continue to act as a major headwind for precious metals.
Key Factors to Watch Today
* U.S. Dollar Index movement
* U.S. Treasury Yield movement
* Any official confirmation regarding U.S.-Iran peace negotiations
* U.S. economic data releases and Fed commentary
* Crude Oil volatility

## Expected Market Move
As long as Gold remains below 161200, every bounce is likely to attract fresh selling pressure.
The market currently appears to be pricing in peace optimism, which reduces safe-haven demand. At the same time, elevated U.S. yields continue to pressure bullion. This combination keeps the medium-term bias negative.
Expected Intraday Path:
160300 → 158000
Break below 157500 may trigger aggressive liquidation toward 156000–155000.
—
## Non-Expected Move (Risk Scenario)
If geopolitical tensions suddenly escalate again, or peace negotiations fail, safe-haven buying can return aggressively.
In that case:
161200 breakout may trigger → 162700
Any sustained move above 161200 invalidates the day’s bearish setup.

Silver
Range: 269500 – 250000
Our Preference: Sell Silver @ 266500 for Target 261000 with SL 267800
Alternative Scenario: Sell Silver @ 260000 for Target 254000 with SL 262800
Silver final sell from 270000 towards target @ 250000

## Expected Market Move
Silver remains technically weaker than Gold.
Industrial demand continues to provide long-term support, but short-term sentiment is being driven by dollar movement and global risk appetite. Structural deficits remain supportive for Silver in the long run, yet current price action suggests rallies are opportunities to sell.
Expected Intraday Path:
266500 → 261000
Below 261000, downside may extend toward 257000–254000.
—
## Non-Expected Move (Risk Scenario)
A sharp fall in the U.S. Dollar or surprise dovish comments from the Federal Reserve could trigger short covering.
If Silver sustains above 267800 : 270500 cannot be ruled out.

Market Sentiment
Gold Sentiment: Bearish
* Peace optimism reducing safe-haven demand.
* Higher Treasury yields pressuring bullion.
* Strong U.S. economic data reducing chances of aggressive rate cuts.
Silver Sentiment: Bearish to Neutral
* Industrial demand remains strong.
* Structural supply deficit supports long-term prices.
* Short-term trend remains weak below resistance zones.
—
Final View
The broader trend remains unchanged:
**Sell Gold on Rise.**
**Sell Silver on Rise.**
Until Gold sustains above 161200 and Silver above 267800, rallies should be treated as selling opportunities.
Trade Safe.
Manage Risk First.
Capital Protection Remains the Priority.
