Despite this pause, the overall sentiment around gold remains strongly bullish, and the recent dip appears to be nothing more than a temporary breather in an otherwise upward trend.  Key Points: Gold pulled back slightly after an early rally on Thursday. The Good Friday holiday is contributing to lower trading volume. The bullish momentum remains strong despite short-term pullbacks. Key support levels include $3,000 and $3,200.
