What’s next for MCX? Experts predict the price range for gold.

According to market experts, MCX gold closed lower this week but is attempting to hold its ground near the crucial ₹1,40,000 level. If gold slips decisively below ₹1,40,000, the price could drop to the support zone of ₹1,39,300–₹1,38,700.

On the upside, the ₹1,40,700–₹1,41,000 range is considered the first resistance level. Beyond that, the ₹1,42,000–₹1,42,700 range would be the next key level. A strong move above these levels could accelerate a recovery.
