Gold has been a talk of the town, and it has been a hot commodity for over a year since it started a Bull Run. The steam isn’t off and everyone is interested in Gold as an investment, a safe asset, or from a consumption point of view. Gold derived its Latin name and its symbol from the word “Aurum” which means yellow shining metal. In the medieval ages it was used to serve as a form of payment and making jewelry.

The Prologue During the beginning of 1980’s everything was sunshine and rainbows in Japan it has a roaring economy, and it emerged as a global manufacturing powerhouse and gradually the Japanese giants like Toyota, Honda, Panasonic, Sony, dominated world markets especially in electronics and automobiles. In the 1980s, Japan’s explosive manufacturing boom and advanced technological dominance convinced many economic experts that it was only a matter of time before the country surpassed the U.S. as the world's leading economic superpower.

We have discussed in our previous analysis (whose link is given HERE so that it's easier to co-relate) that we can see repeated selling pressure from the 24,500-24,550 zone because very strong resistance has established there and 24,380 was also very crucial since there was concentration of long and short positions and if Nifty decisively break this zone, then we can see further fall.

Market Analysis For Wednesday (12-Aug-26)

Our view was bearish and the reason is there are formations of short contracts and intraday the option buying is not yielding that much, profits but in option selling the options premiums are decaying nicely. We have to adapt to the conditions there is no other way, because the volume is very low and market becomes chopped in a 30–40 point volatility for hours. Our target was 24,420 but our target was not done, and Nifty made a low of 24,429 and there was good premium decay in the options.  Caution: Since the volume is very thin so it's futile to look for big profits in options, according to current market conditions 15-25 point is the best-case scenario in option buying. Nifty Future Contract Data: The Future contract is still negative and today 3,900 contacts were added on the short side, and which is very less than yesterday. This is indicating about carry over short positions has the turnover has tripled than yesterday.  We can see repeated selling pressure from 24,550-24,...
