The gold market has experienced a slight pullback in the early hours of Tuesday, but overall, the trend seems to be favoring a period of sideways movement. Traders are likely to remain focused on determining whether the uptrend will continue, and there are reasons to believe it will, particularly due to ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Given these circumstances, short-term pullbacks are seen as potential buying opportunities. If the market breaks below the $2,900 level, the next significant support could be around $2,800, which aligns with the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This level also holds historical significance, as it previously acted as resistance, and market memory suggests it could provide additional support.
Geopolitical uncertainties, along with trade concerns such as tariffs, continue to fuel demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Despite the recent pullback, there is little on the chart to suggest that gold won’t eventually reach the $3,000 level. Since gold’s rally began around Christmas, some consolidation is expected, and this sideways action is not seen as a negative for the market.
The key focus now shifts to how the market will react when it approaches the $3,000 level. As a round, psychologically significant figure, $3,000 is likely to attract significant attention and may become a critical point in determining the next move for gold.
