Gold's 1d base rate is roughly even (~51% up). Macro evidence pushes this bearish: spot gold fell ~0.76% on June 30 and is on track for its steepest quarterly decline on record (~-14% QTD) as markets price in a hawkish Fed with no 2026 cuts and possible hikes. Risk-on equities and easing geopolitical tension further sap safe-haven demand; community 1d sentiment is 2 down / 0 up. Net ~58%, direction down.
