Razan Hilal, identified as a market analyst with Forex.com, walks through daily charts for U.S. bond yields, crude oil, the U.S. dollar index, gold, and silver. The central macro point is that bond yields and crude oil have been easing, but the U.S. dollar index remains firm above 99, partly tied to euro weakness and PMI data, and that dollar strength is acting as a headwind for precious metals. On gold, she says the metal is still respecting a downtrend line of lower highs since March 2026. She highlights a crucial support area around 4,460 to 4,440; a break below that zone could lead to a deeper selloff toward 4,300 and then 4,130, with a further downside scenario toward 3,800 if the yearly lows fail. …
Near term, the setup is vulnerable while DXY stays firm above 99 and gold/silver test support; a decisive break in the support zones would favor tactical shorts or reduced long exposure until the dollar rolls over.
Over the next few weeks, the metals base case stays corrective unless gold reclaims the mid-4,700s and silver recovers back above the low-80s with momentum. A softer dollar plus easing yields would likely shift the market back toward a rebound thesis.
Structurally, the speaker still sees both metals as bullish assets on larger time frames, with major pullbacks functioning as potential accumulation zones. The long-run regime remains one where dollar and real-rate trends determine whether corrections become deeper cyclical declines or reset points in a secular uptrend.
