Gold sticks to modest intraday gains, above the $5,000 psychological mark, through the first half of the European session, though it lacks bullish conviction amid mixed cues. The third round of US-mediated negotiations between Ukraine and Russia concluded in Geneva on Wednesday without any major breakthrough.
Geopolitical tensions remained a key pillar of bullion demand. Investors monitored heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, with concerns over maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, and stalled nuclear diplomacy.
Bitcoin price started another increase above the $70,000 resistance. BTC cleared $72,000 and now the bulls seem to be aiming for a move toward $75,000.
Ethereum price is still struggling to clear the $4,000 resistance zone. ETH might consolidate for some time above $3,600 before the bulls gain strength.
Chainlink’s LINK price is moving higher above the $20.00 resistance. The price is now up over 5% and might aim for a move toward the $25.00 resistance.
