10.08.2026 ### Why Gold Could Move Lower This Week

Gold begins the week following a very strong rally of approximately 7%. The price climbed rapidly from around 4,030 to above 4,330, leaving a considerable distance between its current level and the lower areas where buyers and sellers previously conducted most of their trading.

Such a strong rally does not automatically mean that gold must fall. However, if buyers fail to keep the price above the 4,330–4,375 range, the market may move lower in search of stronger support.

An important factor is that relatively little trading occurred during certain phases of this advance. If gold begins falling through these areas, there may not be sufficient buying interest to slow the decline. This could lead to a faster correction toward 4,287, followed by the 4,125 region.

If selling pressure intensifies, gold could eventually return to the 4,060–4,030 region, where considerably more trading activity previously occurred. However, such a decline should be viewed as a secondary scenario rather than an immediate expectation.

Wednesday’s US inflation report could provide the necessary catalyst. Higher-than-expected inflation could push US Treasury yields and the dollar higher, placing downward pressure on gold. Conversely, softer inflation and continued dollar weakness would reduce the likelihood of the bearish scenario.

Therefore, the argument is not simply that gold has risen too far. The essential question is whether buyers can sustain these higher prices. If they cannot—and gold breaks below 4,287 and remains there—the market could begin a deeper correction toward the lower regions where stronger support previously developed.
