Trade Rationals: 9W DT / 4W DB

Gold has been on the bull run from the end of last year, and still the longer term trend seems to be in favor for the upside. There was some consolidation that made it difficult to determine if it was another long, but the weekly chart shows a clear fail of the DT pattern. If you zoom into the Daily chart we can see a DB completion, indicating the short term bottoming out o the chart. And to add to that the bar breakout from the DB pattern is also with a wide bar breakout.

Strategy:
i would think of getting out if the bar touches 4W DB neck, but need to confirm the bars. the first add point is above the 4W DB target level, and the next level would be closing above the recent highs.

Risk reward calculated against capital using the first target is

Entry : 2393 or better
SL : 2348(-0.91%) / TP: 2626(+4.70%)
RR: Apprx. 5:1
