Over a longer period, the decline is more pronounced, with the price of gold falling 7.95% from its close of $4514.45 per ounce thirty calendar days ago, on May 22.

As we look ahead to the next trading session, today's high and low of $4155.68 per ounce will likely serve as key reference zones. A break above this level could signal a potential reversal of the recent downtrend, while a move below it may indicate further weakness. It's essential to keep an eye on these levels, as they may provide insight into the market's next move.
