Analysis of the latest gold trend:
Gold prices fell 0.7% last Friday due to the strengthening of the US dollar and profit-taking, and once hit the 3,000 integer mark during the session. However, geopolitical and economic uncertainties linger, and coupled with the expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut, gold prices are still supported by bargain hunting and safe-haven buying. Last Friday, gold prices closed at around $3,023.04/ounce, up 1.17% on a weekly basis, the third consecutive week of gains.
Last week, gold formed a head and shoulders top as expected and began to fall. The theoretical target of the head and shoulders top, 3,000, has been reached. With the weekly closing higher, it means that the bulls have not been released yet, and there is still upward momentum this week. From the daily gold chart, the market will next test the support of the 10-day moving average of 2995 and the middle track of 2952, and the bottom will continue to be bullish with the support of the 10-day moving average and the middle track. After the two negative lines at the current high level, be wary of the counterattack of the sun and build a "resistance line in front of the sun" pattern, which will repeatedly sweep the market and attract bulls again, so this is expected to become a staged top signal!
At the 4-hour level, after the market rose to the 3057 line, long positions took profits, and the market ran a downward trend, with the lowest price reaching the 2999 line. The current decline is just a correction to the previous rise. After the correction, it continues to be bullish. Last Friday, the market fell sharply and then bottomed out and rebounded, and rebounded in the late trading. As for whether the correction is over; from the perspective of the pattern, this wave of falling K-line runs a continuous Yin decline and double Yang correction to continue to fall. Next, we need to pay attention to whether the market will rebound three consecutive Yang to restart the rise, or turn to Yin to continue to fall. Overall, our professional and senior gold analyst team recommends rebounding shorting as the main strategy for gold short-term operation today, and callback longing as the auxiliary strategy. The short-term focus on the upper side is the 3035-3040 line of resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 3005-2995 line of support.
