Underlying momentum remains bullish

"US government shutdown persisted, raising concerns on broader economic activity. Underlying momentum remains bullish while RSI is in overbought conditions. Resistance at 4120 (161.8% ext). Support at 3890, 3775 (21 DMA). Recent rally underscores Gold’s unique role as both a hedge against geopolitical stress and a store of value in times of policy and institutional uncertainty."
