Bearish Reversal Day Indicated
As of the latest update, gold has fallen to a four-day low instead of closing at a new record high. This suggests a bearish reversal day is indicated, potentially signaling a deeper pullback to test support levels. The breakout level of 2,532, which is a prior trend high, is likely to be tested. Additionally, the 20-Day MA and the internal uptrend line have converged slightly below this level, providing further support.
It is worth noting that the 20-Day MA had previously acted as a strong support level for eight days before the breakout occurred. Therefore, if support is not found higher, it is expected to offer support once again when approached. However, the proximity of the 20-Day MA to the breakout level suggests that the price zone may soon be tested as support.
New Height Reaches Two Targets Within a Range
Today, resistance was encountered in a previously identified potential resistance zone ranging from 2,595 to 2,605. This zone encompassed two targets: the 127.2% extended target for a rising ABCD pattern and the target derived from a recent symmetrical triangle pattern breakout. Despite coming close to reaching this resistance zone on Monday, a bearish reaction once it was hit indicates that gold may experience further retracement or consolidation before resuming its bull trend.
Bull Trend Continues Above 2,600
Despite the possibility of a short-term retracement, a decisive move above today’s high of 2,600 could trigger a bull breakout, propelling gold towards the next potential resistance zone from 2,650 to 2,661. This zone includes various targets identified through Fibonacci analysis and measured moves, such as ABCD patterns.
