Gold is consolidating at a high level and gaining momentum

124
Last week, the gold market experienced an explosive rise, with a weekly increase of up to $290, reaching a record high of $3,245. This extreme market was mainly driven by three factors: the breakout and downward movement of the US dollar index (a weekly decline of 2.3%), the continued rise in geopolitical risk premiums, and the market's strong expectations for the Fed's policy shift. The current technical side shows typical bullish acceleration characteristics, with the weekly chart showing a real big positive line, and the daily chart maintaining a strong three-consecutive positive pattern, and no top reversal signal has yet appeared.

Operational suggestions: The current volatility index (VIX) remains high. It is recommended to use limit orders to enter the market and cooperate with OCO orders to manage risks. In breakthrough transactions, it is necessary to wait for the 4-hour K-line closing confirmation to avoid the emergence of false breakthrough traps.
Professional reminder: In extreme market conditions, it is necessary to maintain discipline, strictly follow the principles of trend trading, and focus on changes in COMEX gold futures positions. If commercial short hedging positions increase, it may indicate short-term adjustment risks. In addition, it is recommended to maintain 30% cash reserves to cope with sudden fluctuations.
