Candlestick Analysis

Short gold, profit target: 500pipsAfter reaching a fresh high of 3150, gold pulled back and has since been consolidating in a narrow range around 3132. While there is no denying that gold remains in a strong bullish trend, I believe it is now at its peak and could top out at any moment. This is why I continue to look for shorting opportunities rather than blindly chasing long positions—because I must first evaluate whether I have the risk tolerance to withstand a potential long-side drawdown. Currently, gold is showing signs of exhaustion, retreating from 3150 and stalling near its ascending trend channel resistance. There is a strong possibility that this marks the end of the parabolic uptrend, leading to a rounded top correction, similar to the previous price cycle. A potential retracement zone aligns with a $50 pullback. From a risk management perspective, going long at elevated levels presents significant challenges in setting a stop-loss (SL). A tight SL increases the probability of being stopped out due to market volatility, while a wider SL or no SL at all could expose long positions to severe drawdowns or liquidation if the market collapses. On the contrary, short positions allow for better-defined SL placement, and gold tends to correct sharply after an extended rally, offering favorable exit opportunities. The worst-case scenario for short sellers is missing out on further upside gains, but in return, we significantly reduce the risk of capital destruction. This is the primary reason why I remain firmly bearish on gold at current levels! Gold has retreated from its 3150 high, showing signs of momentum exhaustion. Given this price action, traders can consider initiating short positions within the 3135-3145 zone, aiming for a pullback toward the 3100 level. This setup offers a potential $50 profit per trade.

US30 Scalping Ideas for NYSE open todaySince the NYSE brings a lot of volume, we can look for both buy and sell ideas depending on how the candles behave. I will wait for the first 5-minute candle after the NYSE open to plan my trade. Higher timeframes (weekly, 4H, and the hourly) all look bearish except for the bullish close yesterday, so my bias is still bearish. Unless we see some tariff related good news or any other fundamental news release, the continuation most likely can be towards the downside. Happy trading!

Gold Investors Beware: Bears Are Quietly AssemblingGold’s candlestick chart has displayed multiple upper shadows above the 3025-3030 zone, widely regarded as a clear rejection signal. With repeated failures to break through this resistance, gold is showing signs of forming a potential short-term top. This not only caps the upside but could also act as a key indicator of a possible bearish reversal. Following the Asian session's opening, gold experienced a slight gap up but failed to sustain its momentum, maintaining a range-bound movement instead. The lack of strong bullish follow-through reflects weak buying interest. Additionally, recent statements from Trump suggest a softened stance on tariff policies, with his rhetoric appearing less aggressive. If the tariffs are implemented in a more moderate manner or market reactions are less severe than anticipated, risk-off sentiment could subside, leading to a significant pullback in gold prices. But given the presence of strong buying interest and bullish sentiment consolidation, expectations for an extensive decline remain limited. The primary support to monitor lies in the 3110-3100 range. If gold break below this zone, it may trigger an accelerated drop, with the next downside target at the 3095-3085 region.

Good news for bears, gold will fall back to 3095-3085Driven by Trump’s tariff policies and geopolitical risks, gold has sustained a strong upward trajectory. However, after reaching around 3128, its momentum has visibly slowed, with multiple signs of pullbacks emerging within the short-term structure. From the candlestick chart, it’s evident that gold has faced repeated rejection signals above 3125, characterized by long upper shadows. The 3125 level has now formed a notable resistance zone and appears to be acting as a short-term consolidation high. This price action increases the likelihood of a potential top formation. Moreover, gold’s recent strength is largely attributed to growing concerns of a global trade war sparked by Trump’s tariff policies, prompting investors to rotate out of risk assets like equities and into safe-haven assets such as gold. However, if Trump softens his stance on the tariffs or adopts a more diplomatic approach to maintain confidence in the U.S. dollar, risk appetite may recover. This would likely drive funds back into equities and other risk assets, leading to an outflow from gold. For gold trading, I prefer to avoid aggressively chasing long positions at this stage, as downside risks persist. If gold fails to decisively break through the 3125-3135 resistance zone, the bullish momentum may weaken, increasing the likelihood of a downward move. If gold break below the 3100 level during a pullback, it could accelerate further declines, with potential targets in the 3095-3085 range.
