Following a period of intense volatility, gold on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) is trading marginally down on Friday, December 19, 2025.

MCX Gold Outlook Today

"On the technical front, gold continues to exhibit positive momentum following a bullish cup-and-handle breakout. However, over the past four sessions it has consistently faced supply around the 135500 level, which is acting as near-term resistance. Sustained strength above 135500 can take it towards 138000. The immediate as well as the broader trend remains bullish, with support placed at 133300 and resistance at 135500. Traders can consider buying MCX Gold near 133300 for a target of 135500- 138000, while any sustained weakness below 133000 should be treated as a stop-loss for this view," commented Abhishek M Pelu - Research Analyst at Way2Wealth Brokers.

Gold & Silver Price Fundamental Outlook Today

"Gold and silver prices are trading slightly lower today on the international bourses. We expect precious metals prices on Indian bourses to trade range-bound to slightly lower for the day; as gold and silver prices hovered near record highs, bolstering the case for lower borrowing costs - a tailwind for non-yielding precious metals," commented the research analysts of Nirmal Bang Securities.

Spot Gold Prediction Today

"Spot Gold is expected to remain volatile ahead of key policy decisions from BOJ. Meanwhile, growing optimism over accommodative US monetary policy, persistent geopolitical risks and strong ETF inflows would limit its downside," commented the technical research analysts of ICICI Securities.

"Further, appointment of dovish US Federal Reserve Chair would also fuel the prospects of loose monetary policy from the Fed and support the bullions. For the day, spot gold is likely to move in the band of $4300 and $4380 per ounce. Only a move above it would turn bullish and move higher towards $4400 per ounce," they further added.

MCX Silver Outlook Today

"MCX Silver March hold strong support at ₹201,000 level and move higher towards ₹207,500. Above ₹207,500 it would rise toward ₹210,500," commented the technical research analysts of ICICI Securities.
