Risk aversion continues to escalate, go long after gold retreats
Gold has two effective support positions. The first one is near 3048, and gold rises rapidly after hitting the bottom of 3048. The second one is near 3070. If gold does not break through 3070, it will continue its strong bull market. If gold falls back near 3048, then gold may start to maintain a large range of shocks.
Trading idea: Go long near gold 3070, stop loss 3060, target 3100
After a brief rebound, gold continues to be short-sellingThe gold 1-hour moving average is still in a downward dead cross short arrangement, and the gold short strength is still there. The gold moving average resistance has now moved down to around 3002. After gold fell below 3000, gold accelerated its decline again, indicating that gold is still at an important level around 3000. The volatility of gold has only increased recently, so don't think that the market has reversed because it seems to have rebounded a lot. The recent fluctuations of tens of dollars in the gold market are normal.
Trading ideas: short gold around 3000, stop loss 3010, target 2970
Gold is still weak, rebound can still be shortedThe 1-hour moving average of gold still continues to cross downwards, and the strength of gold shorts has not weakened; gold rebounds are still mainly short selling. Although gold rose after covering the gap for one hour, the upper shadow line soon fell. Gold is still weak overall, and gold is under pressure near 3050 in the short term.
Trading idea: short gold near 3042, stop loss 3052, target 3022

Gold continues to fall, what will happen next week?After the gold price fluctuated sharply at the high level in the past two days, gold finally broke down on Friday. In fact, the market was too active in the past two days, and the overall volatility was very large. In fact, it was still a little difficult to trade. Although the overall outlook is bearish, the rebound amplitude is actually not small each time. Now sometimes it rebounds more than 20 US dollars in a few minutes, so it may continue to fall after a loss. Now that the gold daily high is covered by dark clouds, how should we trade next week?
The gold 1-hour moving average has formed a death cross downward, so the gold shorts still have power, and the short-term gold can only rebound. After the rebound, the shorts will continue, and then the gold will enter a shock. After the high-level plunge of gold, the shorts will be more dominant in the short term. Unless there is a big positive news, it is difficult for gold to rise directly. The resistance for gold's rebound is 3076. If it is under pressure, then gold's rebound will mainly continue to be short on highs.
Today, the short gold position has made a profit of 15 pointsGold's 1-hour moving average continues to show signs of turning downward. If gold once forms a dead cross downward in 1 hour, then gold shorts will have an advantage. The 1-hour downward trend line of gold also suppresses gold's rebound. Gold can still continue to short on the rebound. The gold trend suppression is now down to around 3108
How will gold perform after the super rollercoaster market?Gold's 1-hour moving average still shows signs of turning downwards. Although gold bulls have made a strong counterattack, it is also because of the risk-aversion news that stimulated a retaliatory rebound. However, gold continued to fall after rising, and gold began to return to volatility. In the short term, gold is supported near 3100. If gold falls below the support near 3100 again, then gold shorts will still have an advantage in this war. Overall, the impact of today’s non-agricultural data is expected to be dim. What is more important is the stimulation of the news. However, it may be noted that if gold holds the 3100 mark for a long time, then gold is expected to fluctuate upward above 3100.
Trading idea: short gold near 3115, stop loss 3125, target 3100

Gold is under dark clouds, waiting for opportunitiesThe 1-hour moving average of gold has begun to turn downward, and gold bulls have suffered heavy losses. After gold rebounds and repairs, we can only continue to short. The support below the range of gold 1 hour ago was 3110, and now it has fallen below. Then gold 3110 has formed an effective suppression in the short term.

What reason do we have to go short?Gold hit a high and then fell back to meet the support of the moving average. Can you make money by going long on gold above 3130? In a bullish trend, just do what bulls should do and don’t worry too much about gold peaking. The market will give a signal when gold peaks. At present, we continue to do more in the trend.
You can't make money from such a simple market?After gold stepped back, it hit a new high again. Gold bulls continued to be strong. Gold broke through 3127 again, so the bulls are even better.
The gold 1-hour moving average continues to cross upwards and diverges. The support of the gold 1-hour moving average has moved up to 3096, but gold is now far away from the moving average, so wait patiently for adjustments and then step back to continue to buy. The gold 1-hour lowest yesterday fell to around 3100 and then stabilized again, so today gold will continue to buy on dips above 3100.

Go long near gold 3110, sl: 3100, tp: 3130
Gold is crazy. When will it peak?Gold has experienced a wave of rapid declines and market washouts. It successfully made many people get off the market with one move, and then it continued to rise all the way. It is really strong.
At present, it seems that gold is getting closer and closer to the top, but you can still take advantage of the pullback to make long orders, but you must not stay in the long term.
At present, gold is getting closer and closer to the top, but you can still take advantage of the correction to go long, but don't be a long-term investor. Gold can take advantage of the trend to take long positions above 3100
Last Friday, 3085 was shorted to make a profit, next week?Gold fell back on Friday after rising higher, and gold encountered resistance at 3085. However, gold is still just adjusting for the time being. Gold rebounded after the adjustment, and gold bulls are still relatively strong. You can continue to buy gold after it falls next week. After all, gold bulls are strong now, but don't chase it at high levels, and wait for it to fall before buying more.
The 1-hour chart of gold still shows a golden cross with upward bullish divergence. After the adjustment, the gold bulls did not weaken, but continued to be strong. Therefore, the decline of gold is just an adjustment. Gold can continue to go long after the adjustment next week. Gold rose again after bottoming near 3067 on Friday. The gold moving average support has now moved up to a line near 3072. Therefore, gold is still a support area in this range. Then if gold falls back to support near 3070 next week, it will still be long on dips.
A real correction for gold could be comingGold 30-minute chart is beginning to have the possibility of a double top, so don't chase long for now. If you want to go long, wait patiently for a pullback, otherwise the high adjustment may also be large. Gold can be shorted on rallies. If gold falls below 3060, then the real adjustment of gold may come.
The market is changing rapidly. Since the strength of gold has been insufficient after breaking through new highs, don't chase too much.
3/25 Gold Signal: 3009-3023 short, 2996-2982 longThe gold price rose above 3012. The long orders entered near 3004-2996 before the closing are currently profitable. From the trend pattern, there is still room for rebound, but it will take some time. During this process, the price may fluctuate. For friends who have already made profits, it is not worthwhile to bear the risk of profit taking, so this order can be closed first. Of course, if you don’t mind this risk, you can continue to hold it. I expect the rebound resistance to be around 3018.
In terms of the current big trend, the better long opportunities may be more inclined to the 2996-2982 area, because this is the starting point of the previous rise, and it can be regarded as a strong support platform. Usually in this case, the probability and amplitude of the rebound will be higher. Of course, if there is a reverse impact from news, asymmetric fluctuations are also possible.
Today’s main focus is the integer support of 3000. If it falls below, consider the support of the large range of 2996-2982, and the second is the resistance of the range of 3015-3023 during the current rebound.
The overall trading plan is that if the price falls below 3000, long positions will be opened in batches in the 2998-2986 range. If the rebound cannot break through 3023, short positions will be traded in batches in the 3009-3021 range.
I will update the specific transaction details in real time, so you can check them in time. If you have any questions, please leave a message at any time.
Gold: Trading signals during the European sessionGold is now making its first attempt at resistance. In this process, we can use the black trend line below and the purple trend line as reference support.
If the price does not actually fall below the test, there is a high probability that it will reach the 3037-3044 area. Therefore, during the European trading period, the 3037-3044 area can be used as an opportunity to enter the short position.
At the same time, pay attention to the long opportunities brought by the support area. For conservative trading, the area near 3025 can be used as an entry time.
