Projection 

• The absence of any key data on Wednesday, will keep the gold rates uncertain throughout the intraday trading session.

• However, signals could be taken from the previous day’s fundamental factors and price movements, which both support a bearish view in gold with important support at 2146.58, which used to be the all-time high till Feb 2024.

• Although, minor recoveries in gold could not be ruled out with immediate resistance at 2160 & 2165.

*Important Levels to Watch*

• *Support:* On the lower side, the immediate support will be 2150 & the previous record high of 2146.58, below which lower levels of 2130 & 2112 (fib level 0.786) could be witnessed.
