Gold futures (Aug) closing the week below ₹1,52,000 is a bearish signal. It made an intra-week low of ₹1,46,444 on Thursday before recovering, which was aided by the 200-day moving average at ₹1,46,750.

But to establish an uptrend, the contract ought to break out of ₹2,60,000, in which case the rally can lift the price to ₹2,85,000 quickly.

However, if silver futures falls below ₹2,35,000, the bears can drag the contract to ₹2,20,000. That said, the chart shows that silver is relative stronger than gold at the moment. 

Trade strategy: Sell silver futures if the price declines below ₹2,35,000. Place initial stop-loss at ₹2,42,000. Book profits at ₹2,20,000.
