Gold Retests Major Resistance Levels
The spot gold market surged overnight, targeting crucial resistance levels, but signs of rejection have surfaced as profit-taking and short selling emerge.
Weekly Candle Chart Analysis
A broader view on the weekly candle chart reveals a key area of resistance: the spike highs in August 2020, March 2022, and May 2023 converge at similar price points, forming a substantial resistance zone for gold.
In recent weeks, multiple factors have fuelled gold’s rally, including the anticipated conclusion of the Fed rate hike cycle, a weakening US dollar, heightened geopolitical tensions, and upcoming seasonal influences like Christmas, Chinese New Year, and wedding season in parts of Asia.
As gold retests this major resistance zone, a fierce battle between buyers and sellers is unfolding to determine whether gold’s recent rally will end.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results
Daily Candle Chart Observations
Today’s closure on the daily candle chart holds pivotal importance. The price surge during the Asian session, followed by a retreat beneath the resistance zone, could confirm a bearish fakeout pattern if prices close in this manner.
Several indicators point towards a potential overbought scenario:
Harmonic Completion: Gold has completed a harmonic move from the October lows, with an initial rally (A-B), a subsequent retracement (B-C), and the recent spike (C-D) roughly equidistant to the A-B leg, signalling potential harmonic completion.
Keltner Channels: Today's spike breached the upper Keltner Channel for the first time since the late-October pullback, suggesting an extended move.
RSI: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed above 70, though bearish divergence signals have not yet emerged.
The confluence of these factors implies a critical juncture for this week’s price action in the gold market.
