The metal continues to benefit from safe-haven demand, softer U.S. dollar momentum, and growing expectations that central banks will maintain accommodative stances into year-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically, the uptrend remains firmly intact. Price is holding above the <strong>5-day and 10-day moving averages<\/strong>, with the 30-day MA providing a strong upward slope that reinforces the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/3_image-1024x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31393\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The breakout above the <strong>$3,800 level<\/strong> has unlocked further upside potential, with resistance now seen around <strong>$3,900<\/strong>, while initial support lies near <strong>$3,750<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Momentum also supports the bullish bias. The <strong>MACD<\/strong> remains in positive territory, with the MACD line diverging further above the signal line and a widening histogram. This suggests buyers still control the market, though the sharp climb leaves gold vulnerable to short-term profit-taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the bigger picture, as long as gold sustains above <strong>$3,750<\/strong>, the path of least resistance remains upward, with traders eyeing the symbolic <strong>$4,000 mark<\/strong> as a potential medium-term target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, any cooling in geopolitical risks or a rebound in U.S. yields could trigger consolidation before the next leg higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Cautious Forecast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As long as the political stalemate continues and key data releases risk being delayed, gold\u2019s safe-haven appeal is likely to keep prices elevated. Momentum traders may attempt to test the $3,900 level in the near term, though any resolution in Washington could prompt a pullback towards $3,750.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The medium-term path remains tilted upward, anchored by expectations of further Fed easing and lingering global risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Create your live VT Markets account<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login?_gl=1*d96fp5*_gcl_au*Njc1MzM0NjY0LjE3NTEzNTM4MTc.*_ga*MjA5ODA0NDIzNC4xNzI3OTE1ODQ1*_ga_J26NL1ZVX7*czE3NTczOTYxNzckbzgzJGcwJHQxNzU3Mzk2MTc3JGo2MCRsMCRoMA..*_ga_6XQ8153GYW*czE3NTczODczODQkbzE4MyRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4NCRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_BG6LYEHPX1*czE3NTczODczODQkbzEzMSRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4NCRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_7CG6454YR5*czE3NTczODczODQkbzEzMSRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4NCRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_J8BRGZSREX*czE3NTczODczODUkbzEzMSRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4NSRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_69Z54R4H9N*czE3NTczODczODYkbzEzMSRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4NiRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_CY2VCKFC3C*czE3NTczODczODYkbzEzMSRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4NiRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_TXZ07R2C21*czE3NTczODczODYkbzEzMSRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4NiRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_17TMGY9BBE*czE3NTczODczODgkbzEzMCRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4OCRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_2QCC3S2748*czE3NTczODczODgkbzEyOSRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4OCRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_MWDVVSEVL5*czE3NTczODczODgkbzEyOSRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4OCRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_EJCVQDC7VT*czE3NTczODczODkkbzEyNSRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM4OSRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_XJ4037XKK6*czE3NTczODczOTEkbzEyNCRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM5MSRqNjAkbDAkaDA.*_ga_E7D2PCX624*czE3NTczODczOTEkbzEyMyRnMCR0MTc1NzM4NzM5MSRqNjAkbDAkaDA.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">start trading<\/a> now.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold prices remained close to record levels on Wednesday as political gridlock in Washington raised the risk of a government shutdown. &#8211;
