MUMBAI, March 30 (Reuters) - India's physical gold prices were trading in a narrow range on Tuesday on cautious buying, dealers said.
Traders expect prices to fall to 16,000 levels before buying resumes.
"Now buyers have become cautious again...but some more demand will be seen in the near future as wedding-related buying will be there," said a dealer at a private bank, which deals in bullion.
India will witness a two-month-long wedding season begining from April.
