Gold prices in India rallied sharply in the second half of January, breaking out of consolidation and scaling fresh record highs, before witnessing a steep correction in early February. The 24K benchmark climbed from ₹15,431 per gram on January 22 to ₹16,517 by January 28, and surged to a peak of ₹17,885 on January 29, before easing to ₹15,920 on January 30. The decline extended further in February, with prices slipping to ₹16,058 on February 1 and settling at around ₹15,175 by February 3.

The sharp pullback has erased a large part of the late-January gains, underscoring heightened volatility and aggressive profit-taking after the record rally. While prices remain above early-January levels, the recent move suggests gold is transitioning into a consolidation phase at lower levels, rather than sustaining the earlier strong bullish momentum.
