Gold closed the week at $4,194.65 per ounce, recording a 0.7% drop in a quiet week lacking clear momentum, according to a weekly report by NTG24.
The report identified the metal's lowest level in 2026 and key support at $3,942.10, warning of a potential price drop toward $4,000 if selling pressure escalates.
The report noted that gold reached an all-time high of $5,602.22 per ounce on January 29, 2026, making its current levels significantly below its peak.
The report concluded that the metal is awaiting a new catalyst, and that rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions could end the quiet state in trading.
