Takeaway: Gold and silver are bouncing for a second consecutive day after hitting multi-month lows last week. Gold recovered from an intraday low of ₹1,44,603 to trade near ₹1,45,350. Silver is struggling below ₹2.27 lakh/kg. The rupee has partially cushioned the domestic correction vs. dollar-denominated falls.

Gold has been in a structural bull market since 2021, rising from ~₹50,000/10g to the January 2026 ATH of ₹1,83,000. The current 22% pullback is the largest correction within that bull run. The 50% retracement of the Jan 2025→Jan 2026 rally is roughly at ₹1,16,500 — far below current levels, confirming we're still in bull-market correction territory, not a bear market. Silver's 44% correction is more severe but consistent with its ~2× higher volatility (annualised vol ~36% vs gold's ~20%).

Reasoning: The weekly hammer reversal + two consecutive up-days + short-term support holding at ₹1,44,000 suggest the worst of the correction may be behind for now. The Fed is split 9-9, the labour market is softening, and CPI on Monday could be the dovish catalyst. However, this is a counter-trend bounce within a ~5-week downtrend — position accordingly.
| Parameter | Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Entry zone | ₹1,44,400–1,44,800 | Buy on dips near support |
| Stop-loss | ₹1,43,500 (intraday) / ₹1,42,000 (swing) | Below key support |
| Target 1 | ₹1,46,200 | First resistance |
| Target 2 | ₹1,47,000 | Strong resistance (swing target) |
| Risk per lot | ₹900–1,500/10g (1 lot = 1 kg → risk ₹90K–₹1.5L) | Size accordingly |
Sizing: If capital allows, risk no more than 1-2% of trading capital per trade. Given the wide risk range, consider mini lots (GOLDM = 100g) for tighter risk control.
Reasoning: Silver has corrected 44% from ATH and is struggling at current levels. The bounce from ₹2,10,000 failed to sustain above ₹2.30 lakh. Silver's higher beta means it falls harder and rises faster — a confirmed gold bounce could drag silver higher, but the risk/reward for bottom-picking is poor. Wait for a clear signal.
| Parameter | Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| View | Wait / Short if breakdown occurs | No compelling entry today |
| Short entry | Only if breaks ₹2,21,000 with volume | Target ₹2,10,000, SL ₹2,26,000 |
| Long entry | Only if clears ₹2,30,000 with volume | Target ₹2,40,000, SL ₹2,24,000 |
| Alternative | Buy gold instead — better risk/reward | Silver needs a catalyst |
The gold/silver ratio at ~68:1 is above the 50-year average (~60:1) but well below the Jan 2026 compression (50:1). Silver is "cheap" relative to gold historically, but that alone is not a trading signal — the ratio can stay elevated.
| Scenario | Impact | Probability Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Monday CPI > 0.5% MoM (hot) | Hawkish repricing → gold below ₹1,42,000 | Moderate — May CPI was +0.5% |
| Warsh testimony hawkish (July 14) | September hike odds jump to 70%+ | Moderate — Warsh is naturally hawkish |
| DXY breaks above 101.8 | Dollar strength crushes gold | Low — DXY near 52-wk high, overbought |
| US-Iran peace deal finalised | Risk premium evaporates fully | Low-moderate — talks ongoing |
| Gold breaks below ₹1,42,000 | Technical breakdown → ₹1,38,000 next | Key level to watch |
| Rupee strengthens (< 95) | Reduces import-cost support for MCX gold | Low — INR trending weaker |
| Date | Event | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Mon, Jul 14 | US June CPI (8:30 AM ET) | HIGH — most important catalyst |
| Mon, Jul 14 | Fed Chair Warsh testimony (10 AM ET) | HIGH — 90 min after CPI |
| Thu, Jul 17 | US weekly jobless claims | Medium |
| Fri, Jul 18 | Fed speeches | Low-Medium |
The bounce is fragile. The macro narrative is still net-negative for gold — a hawkish Fed chair, strong dollar, elevated yields, fading geopolitical risk premium, and cooling Indian demand. The 22% correction is healthy but may not be over. Friday's bounce is a relief rally, not a trend change. The CPI + Warsh double-header on Monday is the real test. Position small, use tight stops, and be prepared to reverse the view if ₹1,42,000 MCX breaks.
To summarise: Gold is showing a short-term bounce from oversold levels, but this remains a counter-trend move in a ~5-week downtrend until proven otherwise. Silver is too damaged to trade long with conviction — wait for gold to lead first. The July 14 CPI-Warsh combo will likely determine the next leg for both metals.
