Yesterday, gold fell as expected. The price showed a downward trend twice after hitting a maximum of 2395. In late trading, it fell all the way to our expected first target of 2355. The current disk shows that it has plummeted by $100 since the high of 2431, and short-term bulls are still trying to regain lost ground. However, the trend line since the 2430 upward trend has been broken below, which implies that there may be a relapse, but our trend judgment is that the bears will officially control the market.
Observed from the daily chart, the price of gold has formed a K-line combination similar to the "Evening Star" near the historical high, which implies that the price of gold may have initially peaked, and we need to be wary of possible declines or deep corrections in the future. Since gold's uptrend, we have experienced multiple corrections, mostly in the form of convergence triangles. This adjustment has lasted for three trading days and is in line with expectations of range oscillation. As prices fall back under pressure near the upper track and find support at the lower track, we expect the market to continue to fluctuate within this range.
Gold is currently suppressed by the 2,400 mark and has fallen sharply, indicating that there is a lot of short pressure above and showing a peaking signal in the short term. Next, we will focus on whether the decline can continue, but it is not realistic for short sellers to completely break the bull market pattern. Taking into account the continued tensions in the Middle East, gold's safe-haven buying support has been boosted, while the upward trend channel of 2268-2324 remains intact. Judging from the 1-hour trend, gold overall shows a bearish prototype of a head and shoulders top, and is just short of falling below the 2320 neckline. Once it is confirmed that it has fallen below, it will usher in a sharp correction phase. On the 30-minute chart, gold formed a head and shoulders structure. Although the rebound was slightly stronger, it did not change the adjustment pattern. Yesterday's negative line essentially marked the top, and the rebound during today's European session failed to break through the resistance near 2382, indicating that the resistance at this position is still effective.
Comprehensive consideration, today's short-term gold operation advice is to focus on shorting on rebounds, supplemented by longs on callbacks. At the top, focus on the resistance range of 2380-2385, and at the bottom, focus on the support range of 2324-2330.
