Gold (4 December 2026 futures) traded between 147,589.00 and 148,757.00 on Friday, against a previous close of 147,489.00, and settled at 148,421.00.

Trend	Support	Resistance
Positive	147,589.00, 147,489.00	148,757.00

MCX contracts keep trading into the evening, so the last traded price can differ from the figures above by the time you read this. The levels here use the 4 December 2026 contract.

For traders, this gold prediction for monday is a framework for planning risk, with position size and stop levels left to the individual.

Key Drivers for Monday

• Gold rose 0.63 percent on the MCX 4 December contract, with a high of 148,757.00 and a low of 147,589.00.
• The Nifty 50 rose 0.65 percent, so gold and equities both gained on the day.
• Movement in the US Dollar Index, which usually has an inverse relationship with bullion prices on MCX.

Anyone following this gold prediction for monday should keep the next session's opening range in view before reading too much into early moves.

What to Watch Alongside Gold

Titan Company and other jewellery retailers tend to see near-term demand shift when gold prices move sharply, though Univest is not tracking a specific jewellery stock move today. Silver rose more than gold, up 1.32 percent.

How Friday's Broader Session Unfolded

The Nifty 50 closed at 23,146.15, up 0.65 percent, with a high of 23,149.85 and a low of 22,913.80. The Sensex closed at 74,729.27, up 0.56 percent, and the Bank Nifty closed at 55,844.00, up 0.06 percent. India VIX, the market's fear gauge, was little changed at 14.06, up 0.21 percent, which usually points to steady expectations for near-term swings. The Friday gain extended Thursday's 1.66 percent rise, with Nifty IT up 3.92 percent as the standout, so part of the move may reflect a crowded trade. The trigger for the broad gain was not independently confirmed.

Univest's analysts suggest treating this gold prediction for monday as a preparation note for Monday, 19 October 2026, rather than a signal that changes over the weekend.

Analyst View for Monday

Kunal Singla suggests that gold can stay firm while it holds above 147,589, with 148,757 the level to clear.

Ankit Jaiswal flags that a firm gain can invite profit-taking, so a slip below 147,589 on Monday would be the first sign that buyers are tiring.

This gold prediction for monday will be most useful when read alongside the support and resistance table above.

Why This Is Written for Monday

Indian equity markets are closed on Saturday and Sunday, so Friday's closing prices remain the last cash-market data until trading resumes on Monday, 19 October 2026. Treat this gold prediction for monday as a briefing to prepare for that session, not a live call that updates over the weekend.

MCX futures trade into Friday night, so global moves late on Friday can shift Monday's opening price.

A fair reading of this gold prediction for monday is that Friday's data sets the context, while Monday's first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
