THE TECHNICAL PICTURE

The latest completed close is below its 50-session average.
The latest completed close is below its 200-session average.
RSI is between 30 and 70. Extreme readings can persist; they do not guarantee a reversal.
SMA = arithmetic mean of the latest completed closes. RSI uses Wilder’s 14-session smoothing. 251 completed observations; latest session November 6, 2026. Indicators are descriptive and do not guarantee future prices.
PLAN THE WEEK AHEAD
The latest completed close is $4,074.90 per troy ounce versus a 20-observation average of $4,080.71. The prior completed futures week traded between $3,879.30 and $4,097.20. Continuous futures rollovers can affect these calculations.
A sustained break below support would favour the downside scenario. A recovery above the pivot would weaken it.
Watch price around the pivot alongside economic releases, interest-rate decisions and gold demand signals.
A sustained break above resistance would favour the upside scenario. Returning below the pivot would weaken it.
Prior-week inputs: October 26, 2026–October 30, 2026 (5 completed sessions). Latest candle: November 6, 2026. Pivot = (high + low + final close) ÷ 3; S1 = 2 × pivot − high; R1 = 2 × pivot − low. These are calculated reference scenarios, not guaranteed turning points or an analyst price forecast.

Explore silver price & forecastThe main quote shows the latest available indicative gold spot price in USD per troy ounce from Gold API, with its source timestamp. The TradingView chart uses OANDA’s separate XAU/USD feed. Dealer prices for physical gold can include premiums, spreads, delivery costs and taxes.
The technical section shows 50- and 200-session moving averages and 14-session RSI calculated from completed gold futures closes. The sidebar contains TradingView’s separate continuous-futures rating. They describe price behaviour and momentum; they are not guaranteed buy or sell signals.
Precious-metal prices normally refer to a troy ounce, approximately 31.1035 grams. An ordinary avoirdupois ounce is approximately 28.35 grams. The price on this page is per troy ounce, not per ordinary ounce.
The spot card shows the latest available price. The daily brief compares the two latest completed gold futures sessions and labels their dates. That historical comparison is separate from the current spot price and can differ from an intraday chart’s change.
Gold responds to investment flows, real yields, interest-rate expectations, the US dollar, central-bank demand and geopolitical uncertainty. News can provide reported context, but a price change alone cannot prove its cause. Read each headline’s publication date alongside the chart timeframe.
The weekly section uses completed gold futures candles to calculate support, a pivot and resistance, alongside a 20-observation moving average. It describes conditional scenarios rather than an analyst price target. These futures reference levels can differ from spot-market levels.
No indicator guarantees a rise. Stronger investment or central-bank demand can support gold, while weaker demand, higher real yields or a stronger dollar can weigh on it. Evaluate both upside and downside scenarios, the relevant timeframe and your risk exposure.
The gold/silver ratio is the gold price divided by the silver price, using the same currency and weight unit. A ratio of 80 means one troy ounce of gold is worth approximately 80 troy ounces of silver at those quotes. It does not, by itself, prove either metal is cheap or expensive.
Divide the USD price per troy ounce by 31.1035 to estimate a price per gram, then multiply by 1,000 for a kilogram. For example, a hypothetical $31.1035 per troy ounce equals $1 per gram or $1,000 per kilogram before premiums and other costs.
No. Spot refers to the current market for near-term delivery, while futures are exchange-traded contracts for a specified delivery month. Financing, storage, delivery terms and contract rollover can produce different prices. This page labels its spot, chart and futures-history sources separately.
