As discussed throughout my yesterday’s session commentary: “My position: I have engaged another re-Sell order with #2,636.80 entry point (optimal Target remains #2,622.80 Support in extension. If #2,627.80 gets invalidated Gold will extend the Selling sequence, if however #2,627.80 rejects the Price-action, I will close my order there and remain on sidelines.”

I have closed my second Selling order with Target hit (#2,636.80 – #2,622.80) on a fine #14-point run extending my results range to #109 Profits and #21 Stop-loss hits regarding December #2023 – January #2024.

Technical analysis: Gold has made an important Bearish step towards full scale Hourly 4 chart’s reversal as it almost tested the #2,608.80 pressure point. That makes Hourly 4 chart practically Bearish side, however well Supported at #2,600’s, which has held and rejected the downside attempts on multiple occasions. Hourly 4 is still Neutral as said, however invalidated Ascending Channel on Hourly 1 chart has expanded giving me Selling signs that Gold may test #2,600.80 benchmark even before positive NFP numbers (if debacle happens again, Gold can engage aggressive uptrend towards #2,662.80 strong Resistance in extension).

Fundamental analysis: Gold was mainly correlated with DX during last #6 Months of the Year and probability that January will also be DX Month is (#91%) since Bond Yields were on uptrend and invalidated wall of Resistances, and Gold was also on Short-term recovery which confirms my Gold – DX correlation on January opening, so look for pointers there. Remember, when you are unsure of the Medium-term direction on Gold always look for clues on DX and Trade accordingly. Only when DX Trade on Daily and Weekly chart’s (#1W) Lower High’s I will be able to note with a higher degree of certainty that the Bearish reversal on Gold is sustainable. Since #2,600’s held as a Support zone, Gold Naturally found Buyers.

My position: Gold is Neutral Rectangle and keep #2,652.80 as your reversal zone and ideal re-Sell entry point. If #2,627.80 Support gets invalidated, I will pursue #2,600.80 benchmark in extension. I will Trade the break-out.
