Gold is engaged in healthy consolidation above $2,300 per troy ounce following its strong first-quarter breakout above $2,100. The metal has held the $2,300 level on three separate tests, each time attracting buying interest that prevented a deeper correction. Signalix's momentum model reads the consolidation as constructive — a necessary digestion of gains before the next leg higher rather than a trend reversal signal. central bank purchasing data released this week confirmed continued strong institutional demand, with net purchases of 76 tonnes in the most recent monthly period. The key catalyst needed for a breakout above $2,450 (the all-time high) is likely to be either a more dovish Federal Reserve communication or an escalation in geopolitical risk that drives renewed safe-haven flows. Dip-buying strategy: accumulate on weakness toward $2,280-2,300 range with stops below $2,240.
