Gold Digests the Pullback, Refuses to Leave 4,000
Gold is trading near 4,030 dollars after easing from 4,070, absorbing a sharp two-session decline as oil surges and US rate expectations firm up. Price remains above the 4,000 mark with volatility contracting. Sellers pushed, the level held. The chart is quiet. Quiet is data too.

A pullback that stalls above a round number with contracting volatility reads as digestion, not breakdown. In auction terms, the market is testing whether lower prices attract sellers or get absorbed. Watching where volume builds during digestion shows which side is quietly gaining acceptance.
