Gold’s latest strategic ideas, mainly short selling on rebound

159
On Monday (April 14), gold fluctuated slightly and remained around $3,197. Last Friday (April 11), the price of gold broke through $3,200, reaching a historical high of $3,245.26, with a weekly increase of 6.6%, the largest weekly increase since March 2020. This round of rise was mainly driven by the escalation of trade frictions, the plunge of the US dollar, the increase in expectations of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and geopolitical risks. The weak US economic data and rising inflation expectations strengthened the safe-haven properties of gold.

From a technical perspective, the daily level shows short-term correction pressure. On Monday, a small negative column with a long upper shadow was closed. Pay attention to the support of 3180 below. If it falls below, it may fall further. The 4-hour level shows a high-level oscillation pattern, with the upper resistance at 3235-3240 and the lower support around 3200-3180. In terms of operation, it is recommended to focus on high-altitude trading: shorting with a light position near 3225-3235 US dollars. If the gold price rebounds to around 3200 and stabilizes, you can try short-term long. Be alert to the intensification of market volatility.

Gold recommendation: shorting near 3225-3235 on the rebound, target 3205.
