ETO Markets Analyst View (Spot Gold)

Spot gold has entered a renewed upward structure, with 4,610 acting as key support. Holding above this level suggests continued bullish momentum, with upside targets at 4,735 and 4,800.

If prices fall below 4,610, short-term momentum may weaken. Downside levels to watch are 4,570 and 4,528. The market has shifted from consolidation to trend acceleration.

RSI continues to rise, signaling strengthening momentum. Bulls remain in control, and price action favors trend continuation.

Geopolitical risks and safe-haven demand are reinforcing each other. Volatility is rising, but directional bias is strengthening. Monitor developments closely.
