Gold futures swing 1.68% intraday as traders test $4,074 support
COMEX gold futures posted a 1.68% intraday range on July 23, swinging from $4,074.60 to $4,144.00 before closing at $4,122.70.
The $69.40 range between the session low and high marked the widest intraday spread in two weeks, according to COMEX data. The move reflected heightened volatility as traders reacted to intraday shifts in risk appetite.
Gold opened at $4,126.00 and briefly touched an intraday high of $4,144.00 before selling pressure pushed prices to a low of $4,074.60. Volume reached 24,496 contracts as traders responded to the sharp reversal from the session peak. The close at $4,122.70 represented a recovery of more than $48 from the session low.
The $4,075 level has emerged as a key support zone; a close below that threshold could open the door to further downside. The session's price action also weighed on gold miners, with the sector tracking the metal's intraday volatility.
