LATEST ▸ 2026-W11 (Mar 9–13)
Gold Holds a High-Range Bias Despite Two Weekly Losses
Lower Real Rates and Uncrowded COT Point to a Bullish Correction
  • Weekly change −2.16% — two-week decline, but price held near 5,000 support
  • COT net long 98,399 contracts (+482) — 28th percentile (3-year), far from crowded
  • VIX 24.93 (96.5th pct); WTI $94.65 (100th pct over 3 years)
  • News sentiment weekly avg +0.04, cooling to −0.02 by week-end
  • Real rate proxy 1.78%, DXY 119.49 — medium-term support intact
If price holds above 5,000 and sentiment recovers, this pullback is likely short-lived within the broader uptrend.
