ASTRO Analysis

🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Outlook :

The week begins with consolidation and quiet tones; mid‑week turns energetic as Mercury–Jupiter aspects lift optimism. Expect directional clarity from Wednesday onward, leading to strong momentum into Thursday. Friday shows waning energy but holds support zones intact.

⚪️ Silver (XAGUSD) Outlook :

Volatile early trade gives way to more controlled mid‑week behavior. Wednesday’s Moon–Mars alignment encourages sharp rallies; Thursday sustains upside bias before sentiment cools on Friday.

📊 Market Mood :

Bullish undertone dominates mid‑week as optimism and expansionary lunar aspects support higher volatility. Early‑week uncertainty clears by Wednesday; Friday suggests reduced participation.
