Gold Price Analysis August 26☘️Fundamental Analysis
Gold prices traded above the 2520 resistance level after the European session. The gains came amid growing expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will start lowering borrowing costs in September. Lower interest rates are generally positive for Gold as they reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets.
Furthermore, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and economic uncertainty are likely to boost safe-haven demand, benefiting Gold prices. On the other hand, sluggish demand in the Chinese economy could weaken the yellow metal as China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of gold. Later on Monday, US Durable Goods Orders for July are due. The highlight of the week will be the US Preliminary Annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index for July, which will be released on Thursday and Friday.
☘️Technical Analysis:
With the current price increase, the technical structure has tilted to the upside. We will wait for the H1 candle to close above the 2520 port to confirm that gold will continue to move straight to the resistance zone of 2530. And in the US trading session, gold can completely create a new ATH. Retracement hooks are relatively unlikely at the moment. When the distance to 2509, the Asian session bottom this morning encountered quite a few barriers. The important technical support hook today will be 2495 to ensure the current market structure.
Resistance: 2525 - 2535 - 2547 - 2558 - 2568 - 2590
Support: 2509 - 2500 - 2494 - 2485 - 2472 - 2461 - 2454 - 2442
SELL zone 2528 - 2530 stoploss 2534
BUY zone 2496 - 2494 stoploss 2490
XAU/USD Above $2,500, But Is a Drop Coming?The gold price (XAU/USD) has maintained a solid position above the psychological support level of $2,500 at the start of the week. This increase is supported by growing expectations that the US Federal Reserve will begin lowering borrowing costs in September. From a short-term technical perspective, the gold price still suggests upside risks, especially if buyers maintain control above the triangle support, which was previously resistance, at $2,470.
Technical Analysis
The gold price recently confirmed a bullish breakout from a symmetrical triangle, indicating further gains. Gold buyers need to reclaim the all-time high of $2,532 to face the next key barrier at $2,600.
If the gold price fails to sustain current levels, a correction could occur towards the $2,500 threshold. A sustained break below $2,485 would expose the market to further declines, down to the critical support at $2,470.
Fundamental Factors
The positive tone surrounding the gold price is mainly attributed to the sustained weakness of the US dollar and negative US Treasury yields, following dovish remarks by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Powell clearly confirmed that the Fed's easing cycle will begin in September, signaling a possible rate reduction. The market currently sees a 38% probability of a 50 basis point rate cut and a 62% probability of a 25 basis point cut, as indicated by the CME Group's FedWatch Tool.
In a low-interest-rate environment, gold, which does not yield interest, tends to benefit. Additionally, the precious metal, considered a safe haven, is capitalizing on escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly after Israel's preemptive airstrike on Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and the lack of an agreement in ceasefire talks in Cairo.
Future Outlook
With the support of favorable fundamental factors and a technical setup that favors buyers, the gold price remains exposed to upside risks. The next significant move could be driven by the US Durable Goods Orders data, expected later on Monday.
Bitcoin respecting the 2 key moves very well ! This week, the price performed very well according to the analysis we did last week. The two key levels have been taking a very positive effect for Bitcoin's next surge. As we can see in the chart, Bitcoin broke through our inefficiency zone with great strength, creating a volumetric bullish candle. This is a very positive pattern, as in the last two days, it has remained in the key confirmation zone which I mentioned in my last Bitcoin analysis.
As we can see, Bitcoin is still in a range, but it is recovering little by little. The best part is that Bitcoin is following the exact movement we have been predicting since we started this analysis several weeks ago.
Looking at volume, buying pressure, and the overall structure, starting Monday, we could see Bitcoin make a strong bullish move. But note this: the price has not yet broken through my confirmation zone #2 or the green zone, so it could stay there for a few days before we see a strong upward trend.
Best regards, and thank you for supporting my analysis, we are doing very well!
#202435 - priceactiontds - weekly update - bitcoinGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
bitcoin: I was neutral last week and until Friday that was perfectly fine. Bulls just used the overall market strength to break above and finally closed above 62000 again. They closed the bear gap which was the only good argument the bears had left. Market is free to test 68000 or higher. Bears would need a strong reversal and trade below 60200 for this to stop. Bullish.
Quote from last week:
comment : I am not making stuff up here now. Market is also neutral as can be. Last week was 58700 and now we are at 59700. Tails above and below bars and bulls still could not close one day above the daily ema. Wait for a breakout.
comment : I still think the pattern last week was bearish enough but the reversal by the bulls just stronger. Surprised me but that’s why I give clear invalidation prices. Losing is part of the game, get good at it. Bulls are now favored to trade higher and potential targets are first 66000 and then 68000. Bears would need a pullback below 60200 for this to fail. I do expect a pullback first before higher prices but I don’t think bears can get below 62000. Only if many other markets also puke.
current market cycle: Trading Range
key levels: 60000 - 68000
bull case: Bulls strongly broke above 62000 and closed the bear gap. They are now in control since they also stayed at the highs. 66000 and then 68000 are my first targets. Any pullback should stay above 62000. Will only buy this on a pullback and not above 63000.
Invalidation is below 60200.
bear case: Bears had a decent breakout last week but fumbled it. Bears can be happy if they can keep the market below 65000 and go sideways. The next bigger resistance is the bear trend line from the ath at 69000.
Invalidation is above 56000.
outlook last week:
short term: Full bear mode again after the pullback. Want to see 50000 again and a daily close around it.
→ Last Sunday we traded around 59700 and now we are at 64200. Wrong outlook. I think it was a surprise by the bulls but it does not matter. Bulls are favored for more upside now.
short term: Can only be bullish after the breakout with follow through. 68000 is a decent target but I want a pullback first.
medium-long term: I have been writing about getting down to 50000 for many many weeks now and since we are only 3500 points above it, it’s time to review my medium-long term take. I do think we are doing a very similar thing to 2021. Market will probably touch the monthly 20ema at 46000 soon and then go for a dead cat bounce. I do not think market can do a higher high again. For me it’s lower highs from here on and highest I think it can get again is 65000 but I do think there is a good chance, 63000 may be all bulls can get again. If it trades strongly below 46000, probably 30000 soon after but let’s make 46000 first and then I reevaluate my take.
Update: Above was written 2024-08-04. As good as it gets. Next target is 40000. —unchanged since July
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Removed the bear gap and added bull trend lines.
#202435 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
wti crude oil: Bears answered last weeks question on Monday but bulls kept the market two sided and bears gave up at the double bottom below 72. Bulls are creating decent bull bars again and last time they did this we went above 78. Above 75 odds favor the bulls for more upside to at least 77 but we are still low enough for bears to come around and test 72 again. Leaning bullish if market stays above 74.
Quote from last week:
comment : Bull and bear legs alike get shorter, market is contracting further. Triangle is valid since 2022. We are in the last weeks of it. If we get a huge event where we see Oil prices skyrocketing over the next 3-4 months, you read it here first. Play the range is the name of the game.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle)
key levels: 70-80
bull case: Bulls printed a nice double bottom around 71 and are on their way up again. They want at least 77.5 and test the minor bear trend line starting from 2024-07-18. The last two reversal from prices below 72 both went without any pullback on the daily chart so I expect this one to just go up as well. No side is currently fighting the other too much.
Invalidation is below 75.
bear case: Bears got their early move below 74 and just went for 72 again. No bigger fight for 72 so bulls are doing the reversal again. There is a low chance that bears come around and want to keep it below the daily ema at 75 but i doubt it. If they do, best they can hope for is a test of 71.5 again. Above 75.1 I expect an easy and fast trade up to at least 77.
Invalidation is above 75.1.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral. Again. What can you do.
→ Last Sunday we traded 75.54 and now we are at 74.83. Low of the week was 71.47 and my target was 71/72. Hope you made some.
short term: Bullish above 75.1, bearish below 74 for retest of 72 or lower.
medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 70 and 80. No more updates until market makes higher highs or lower lows again.
current swing trade: None
chart update: None
#202435 - priceactiontds - weekly updateGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
gold: Bulls bought the first pullback and I expect bears to try again. Market went sideways which shows strength by the bulls to keep it above 2500. Next week will be important because so far the highest monthly close was 2472 and a monthly close above 2500 would confirm the breakout again. Bears need consecutive bear bars below 2500 and bulls a daily close above 2550. Neutral going into next week.
Quote from last week:
comment: Bulls got a new ath but the highest monthly close so far was 2473 and there is no reason to expect a huge breakout above 2550 with follow through. If it happens, hopp along but odds favor the bears for another reversal like so many times in the last 4 months. No matter how you interpret the patterns on the chart, all favor a reversal and betting on a breakout after 4 months of trading range price action is a losing strategy in the long run. I am neutral and wait for bears to show strength but will join the bulls on a strong breakout above 2550.
comment : Did we learn anything from a sideways week? We have a bullish pattern and a technical textbook pullback a bit above the ema. Bulls bought it and that is bullish. But only a break above 2570 is confirmation. Resistance is always that until it breaks, no matter how strong you think the trend is/looks/feels and this trend inside a 5 month trading range is not strong so far. Bulls are trying the breakout and the monthly close will be the most important for them. If they manage their first close above 2500, it would be a confirmation and buy signal going into September. What could be a potential target above? Since the trading range was mostly between 2300 - 2500ish, we can do a measured move up and that would bring us to the ballpark around 2700.
current market cycle: trading range for many months now and it’s probably coming to an end over the next weeks/months —unchanged
key levels: 2400 - 2550
bull case: Bulls raised their odds of this breakout being real last week. Next week is their do or die moment for this. It’s either break above 2550 and get a daily close above or fail again and trade back down to the lower bull wedge or even 2300. I do think 2540-2570 is a dead zone for trading long. If we get near 2520-2530 I consider buying but not above. Odds currently favor the bulls slightly.
Invalidation is below 2500.
bear case: Nothing changed for the bears. Either stop the bulls below 2570 or give up for 2600 and potentially 2700 over the next weeks. Bears need a 1h close below 2500 badly. That’s it. If you are short Gold right now, don’t come to me hoping for bear porn. I’m long past that phase in Gold. Do I still think this is overvalued and can crash below 2000 again? Bet. Will this save your underwater shorts? Hell naw. Get out now or latest at 2571.
Invalidation is above 2571.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral until bears come around or strong break above 2550. If bears build good selling pressure, I want a retest of 2500 first and lower i look for 2470.
→ Last Sunday we traded 2537 and now we are at 2546. Bulls got above 2550 but big rejections only. Neutral outlook was perfect since we closed 9 points above last week.
short term: Exactly the same as last week. Bears had a pullback and bulls bought it. Inherently bullish but only if bulls can break above 2570.
Neutral until bears come around or strong break above 2570. If bears build good selling pressure, I want a retest of 2500 first and lower i look for 2470.
medium-long term: For now I think the most reasonable outlook I could give is a trading range 2200-2500. This could hold for some time. Bear in my still thinks this rally is moronic and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so don’t. —unchanged since May
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Added bull wedge trend line and measured move target #1.
#202435 - priceactiontds - weekly updateGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
sp500: 53 points to a new ath is a small spike at this point. Whenever a market is this close to an obvious magnet, it’s reasonable to assume that it will get there. Will it be a big difference if the high stays below 5700 or goes above 5721? Not really. You simply can not short this and put your stop a tick above the previous ath. Bulls are in control and until bears print consecutive bear bars below 5600, it stays that way.
Quote from last week:
comment : Not much difference to dax, just that this market was a tat stronger even. Bulls almost reversed completely but 7 consecutive bull bars is as climactic as it gets. A pullback is due but that does not mean you can short it at 5578. Could go further since the obvious pain trade is up.
comment : Bears produced the first bigger bear bar after almost 10% in 10 bars. It was also the first pullback (price goes below the previous bar low) in this bull trend inside the bigger trading range. As I wrote for dax, I can not be anything but neutral going into next week since we are at previous resistance after a very climactic move up. Bulls want a new ath and bears to keep it a lower high. Volume is picking up again and bears build some decent selling pressure on Thursday + Friday. On the 4h chart you can see 5 legs up without much of pullbacks. Will find out next week how many bulls are interested in buying above 5600.
current market cycle: Bull trend inside bigger trading range.
key levels: 5000-5700
bull case: Bulls closed the bear gap and are free to print a new ath. Bears are not doing enough to make more bulls take profits, so naturally they keep on buying any small dip and pushing it higher. Technically we have two bull trend lines pointing to higher targets above 5721 with one even going to 5900-6000. Can this happen? For sure. After this climactic down than even more climactic up, everything is possible. Is it likely? No.
Invalidation is below 5500.
bear case: Bears see it as a big trading range and we are at the highs again. They start scaling into shorts above 5600. They know the market is overdue for a bigger pullback again and they will add higher, even if we print a new ath. If they can keep this a lower high and print below 5600, I do think we could see more bulls covering their longs. For now bears can mostly hope for a sideways market and stopping the advance. On the monthly chart bears produced a decent doji in July and they want this months bar closing near 5500 to not generate a good buying signal for September.
Invalidation is above 5670.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral af. Want to see a pullback and also how market reacts to 5600.
→ Last Sunday we traded 5578 and now we are at 5652. 5600 was no bigger resistance. Bulls printed a green week but bears came around and starting making the market more two sided again.
short term: Neutral again. No interest in bigger buying above 5600. Will scalp long if bulls make it clear that they want a new ath but mostly looking for signs of bear strength over the next week. I don’t think bears want July to close above 5600.
medium-long term : Can’t be too bearish after the reversal but same as dax again. Even if we do a new ath, I expect at least 5200 to be hit again this year but probably 5000.
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Removed bear gap and added the possible 5 wave series and a potential bigger two legged correction but that is pure speculation as of now.
Toncoin hi guys
On the price chart, when we still hold the support area of $4.46, and the LL is not made for us, we cannot expect a bearish trend.
If the $4.46 support range is fully consumed, a bearish scenario is likely.
Right now, the bullish scenario weighs more for us. And if the $7.95 resistance area is completely consumed, the bullish mentality will be reinforced for us.
what do you think!?
GBPUSD analysis week 35Fundamental Analysis
GBP/USD surged in North American trading after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell gave the green light to interest rate cuts, as he believes inflation is approaching the central bank's 2% target. The pair traded above 1.3200, at a fresh two-year high, up more than 1%.
Bets on a 50bps rate cut opening in September have increased after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, in his speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Conference on Friday, publicly admitted that it was finally time for the US central bank to start pushing down its benchmark interest rate.
Next week, GBPUSD traders will want to keep an eye on the upcoming UK bank holiday on Monday. For the rest of the week, UK economic data releases remain limited, although the currency market will pay special attention to the upcoming US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation figures due later next week.
Technical Analysis:
GBPUSD formed a strong uptrend at a two-year high following the latest Fed data. On the D1 timeframe, the EMA 34 is sloping up strongly against the EMA 89, suggesting that the market structure is tilted towards the upside with the nearest trading range around 1.328-1.314. With such a strong rally, the highest the pair can reach next week is around the resistance zone of 1.341. It is quite difficult to find a good SELL point when the market has not reacted to the price at the moment. Any pullback at this point is seen as a good time to buy rather than a trend reversal. The best BUY level is around 1.300 strong resistance zone which GBPUSD has broken through and now forms strong support zone when the pair price returns.
Resistance: 1.328-1.342
Support: 1.314-1.300
Trading signals
BUY GBPUSD zone 1.300-1.298 Stoploss 1.296
SELL GBPUSD zone 1.342-1.344 Stoploss 1.346
#202435 - priceactiontds - weekly updateGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax: 18700 was my upper target for the week and the high was 18730. Market now created 3 legs up but we don’t know high leg 3 can get. There is no reason to assume bears will begin stronger selling. If 18730 holds next week, consider me surprised. A bigger pullback after a 9% move up is expected but as of now, there are no facts to base this on. Shorting into a strong bull trend is a losing strategy in the long run. Targets for bulls are 18800, 18900 and obviously the ath at 19204. Bears would need to get below 18400 to have better arguments on their side.
Quote from last week:
bull case: Last Sunday I wrote about mostly overlapping bars for the bulls and since Thursday they left no doubt that this was not the start of the bear trend. Huge bull breakout above the previous bear gap to 18200 and they are not right at the minor bear trend line from mid July. If bulls are really strong, they can get a third push up and maybe a measured move from Thu/Fri which would bring us to 18800ish. The buying is climactic though and a pullback is expected over the next 1-2 days. Best for bulls would be if they would stay above 18000 and the daily ema/bull trend line.
Info: Will post the weekly updates on the DAX Index from XETRA and only daily updates on DAX futures. Everyone who trades futures should be able to cope with the fact that it’s a 60 point difference atm.
comment: Bulls went mostly sideways until Friday which means that bears are still not doing much. Friday produced another breakout for W5, where my target is still 18800ish. Low probability the bear trend line from the ath will hold again. If bulls can get this above 18800, there is no reason to not print a new ath. Bears would need consecutive bear bars below 18500 to stop it. Bulls should not have the illusion that this is something other than a short squeeze. This is not buying on higher volume due to more market participants wanting in on the next bull run to 30000. This will crumble soon enough but for now it’s only going up and you should never fight the trend.
current market cycle: Bull trend inside bigger trading range. We are in the last leg of this trend and no one should be surprised if we close August below 18000
key levels: 17000 - 19000
bull case: Bulls hardly meeting any resistance by the bears on the daily chart and they dance as long as the musics plays. They know the rally is climactic and a deeper pullback can happen anytime. They want to break the bear trend line from the ath and print a new one but they would need to find much more buyers above 18700. The rally was more bears stepping aside than strong bulls buying. On the weekly and monthly chart we are at the high of this bull wedge and market bounced just shy of the monthly 20ema 2 weeks ago. If bulls close the month above 18550, it would be another buy signal.
Invalidation is below 18350.
bear case: Any bull buying above 18700 buys into previous resistance, near measured move target and at the bear trend line that held since May. No matter how you look at this, it is a bad buy. The rally is climactic without any pullbacks. Market only stalled for 1-2 days at most before breaking out again. Bears see all that and atrocious volume. They know it’s a short squeeze and that it can reverse fast. Right now they aren’t doing much but above 18700 bigger bears begin scaling into shorts again and if the market stalls enough, many bulls want to secure their profits before they vanish. Bears first target is 18500 and for the market to go sideways and start making lower highs and lower lows again. One more thing that’s easier to see on xetra than on futures is the monthly closes. Xetra has no close above 18510. Will this month be different? I doubt it. Also a clear ascending triangle if you take only bar bodies into account.
Invalidation is above 18750.
outlook last week:
short term: Absolutely neutral. Big up, big down, big confusion.
→ Last Sunday we traded 18322 and now we are at 18633. Neutral was wrong, market produced only 1 bear bar and even that could not get below the previous day’s low. Bad outlook.
short term: I will not get bullish at 18633 when market could not close one month above 18510. I rather wait and scalp than to buy into a potential high. Rally went mostly without me but that’s ok. It’s about not losing first, then making some, then making the big bucks. Neutral going into next week. If bulls break above 18700, will scalp long for ath test.
medium-long term: Market is right at the bear trend line from the ath. Decent chance we make a new one but I am much more certain that we will see 17000 in 2024 again. Will update more here next Sunday.
current swing trade: Nope but I think we are getting close for me to short this again.
chart update: Swapped dax futures to dax xetra and only left the most important prices on the chart and the 5 wave series. If we get a w5 in the same ballpark as W1 and W3, it could get us above 19000 but as of now, the bear trend line is valid.
Matic Long for 1.5$CRYPTOCAP:MATIC is long for a target of 1.5 $ and 2.5$ in the long run with a SL OF 0.31 $. Great place to go long. Altcoin season is going to be back really soon.
SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE / LIQUIDITY MODULEIn this analysis we are focusing on M30 time frame for GOLD. Here we are using support and resistance combine with liquidity concept.

So if market break the red line area which is also known as S / R towards upside and close candle upside than we look for buy. But if market reject this S / R (2472.00) area towards downside and close the candle below than we look for sell. Candle confirmation is very important so we will wait for confirmation. Let's delve deeper into these levels and potential out comes.

USDCAD: Time For Pullback?! 🇺🇸🇨🇦
USDCAD may pull back from a key daily structure support.
I spotted 2 intraday bullish confirmations on a 4H time frame:
a bullish breakout of a resistance line of a falling wedge pattern,
a bullish breakout of a neckline of a double bottom pattern.
We can expect a bullish movement to 1.363

tl;dr
Indexes - Strong day by the bears for most markets and on higher volume too. After climactic moves, many traders keep tight stops and won’t let the market run too much against them because they want to secure their profits. Does that mean the market is reversing? Probably not. But deep pullbacks are always possible. In trading rangs the daily 20ema and the 50% (midpoint of the range) are always magnets, so always mark them on your chart. For tomorrow I expect more volatility since we have BOJ Ueda + FED JPOW speaking.
sp500 e-mini futures
comment: Huge day for the bears by closing below 5600. I do think it would be fitting if we close the week with a huge bear reversal candle below 5550 or even 5500. Can we get there? Unlikely but not impossible. Could we also close above 5721? You bet. No one knows where we are going because market has moved in such extremes the past two weeks, that absolutely everything is possible tomorrow. Odds still somewhat favor the bulls to close the week above 5600 but just slightly. Daily ema is around 5500 and that are two good reasons for market to test that price. Anything above 5640 would surprise me tbh.
current market cycle: Bull trend inside the big trading range on the daily chart
key levels: 5500 -5670
bull case: Bulls tried to fight it today but the down moves saw a big increase in volume and bulls could not keep the market above 5600. They need to stay above this price or risk much more downside because I do think many stops will be around 5580-5595 tomorrow. Their first target is a 15m bar close above the ema and then the 1h ema to turn the market neutral again. 50% pullback from today is 5625 and that is also a magnet for tomorrow.
Invalidation is below 5580.
bear case: Bears surprised me today because the strength of the selling was not expected. Market grinded higher first but since the US open we just saw big selling coming through and every rip was sold. If bears do not keep the momentum going tomorrow, they risk another reversal and potentially another meltup to a new ath but that will strongly depend on Jpow and Ueda and how the market will interpret their speeches. Can you forecast this? Don’t bother. Mark key levels on your chart and hop along on the breakout tomorrow.
Invalidation is above 5670.
short term: 5600 is neutral and I wait. Bears need follow through selling below 5580 and bulls a strong reversal. Above 5625 I will consider longs.
medium-long term: Bearish. I gave the 5000 target 3 months ago and we almost got there way earlier than expected. There is a reasonable chance we will see an event unfolding over the next days/weeks. Something breaks during these violent moves and this time will not be different.
current swing trade: Nope.
trade of the day: Sell US open. No reason not to and no reason to exit until 5600 where market stalled too much.
2024-08-22 - priceactiontds - daily update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Gold - Bears created a pullback but could not even touch 2500. It’s a little less bullish as of now because the bull trend line broke but market is still above 2500 and the daily 20ema so odds favor another the bulls. If bears create follow through below 2500, I turn bearish for 2450 or lower.
comment: Neutral again at 2520 because we are right above the bull trend line from early August and near 2500, which is huge support for now. Odds favor the bulls to test the upper bear trend line around 2540 again. If bears manage to go into the weekend below 2500, this bull leg is most likely over again and we will test back to 2450 or lower.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 2500 - 2570
bull case: Bulls still see this above 2500 and inside a trading range at the highs. They are trading above the daily ema and the bull trend line is still valid. I do think the bears will not fight them for 2500 on the first try, so odds favor the bulls to stay inside the current expanding triangle and test back to the upper trend line around 2540. A weekly close above 2540 would be max bullish.
Invalidation is below 2490.
bear case: Bears finally produced more selling pressure and closed at the lows. Whenever bears printed consecutive bear bars above 2500 over the past 4 months, market was not able to hold above and sold off again. Bears expecting this time to be the same, despite the new ath. They want a reversal to 2400 and their target for tomorrow is a close below 2500.
Invalidation is above 2550.
short term: Neutral between 2500-2520, bullish above and bearish below.
medium-long term: For now I think the most reasonable outlook I could give is a trading range 2200-2500. This could hold for some time. Bear in my still thinks this rally is dumb and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so DON’T. —adjusted 2450 to 2500
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Selling below bar 8 was decent. Stop had to be above bar 3. Market held below the 1h ema and there was decent selling pressure before.
SasanSeifi| Will Gold Continue to Correct? (1H)Hey there, By analysing the OANDA:XAUUSD chart in the short-term 1-hour timeframe, it is observed that the price has experienced corrections from the $2531 level and is now showing a positive reaction within the demand zone, currently trading around $2510. In this timeframe, the outlook leans towards a bearish trend, with a potential decline to corrective targets at $2494, $2490, $2482, and $2477.
The potential trends are highlighted in the above chart, and there is a possibility of a price reversal from the $2514 to $2523 range. To better understand the next price movement, it’s essential to observe how the price reacts to these levels. If momentum weakens and the necessary confirmations are received from the specified levels, the corrective scenario will gain significance. Conversely, if the price encounters increased demand and successfully penetrates and stabilizes above the mentioned levels, the possibility of further growth and invalidation of the corrective scenario increases. (For the uptrend to continue and to reach higher targets, the $2531 resistance needs to be broken, and the price must stabilize above this level.)
