Short-term
Hold signal: HOLD
Next 1–4 weeks
Moderate confidence

Price is testing the 30-day low near $4,000 with negative momentum, and a strengthening broad dollar is an active headwind that can extend the correction. With real yields only modestly lower, there is no fresh catalyst to force a breakout, so we favor patience over chasing.

Long-term
Buy signal: BUY
Next 3–12 months
Moderate confidence

The multi-quarter uptrend remains driven by structural central-bank accumulation and reserve diversification rather than by real yields, which are already high yet have not derailed gold. The recent dip improves entry levels without breaking the broader trend, and softening nominal and real yields are a mild tailwind.
