Gold's Weakness Signal May Not Mean What It Looks Like

Gold is hitting a technical warning sign called a death cross—when its short-term price trend dips below its long-term one. Usually that predicts falling prices. But central banks keep buying gold, tensions abroad remain high, and interest rates still favor holding it. When this warning arrives at such strong levels, it often means a pause, not collapse. The chart shows traders' mood shifted. Whether it sticks depends on forces no chart can measure.
