Hello traders,

I'm sharing my analysis of the gold chart (XAUUSD) on a monthly logarithmic scale, which helps provide a clearer perspective on the broader trend and avoid confusion.

I'm suggesting a long position or investment targeting the $2820 to $2870 range. Here’s why:

Cup & Handle Pattern: I’ve identified a cup & handle pattern that points to a target range of $2820 to $2870, indicating a potential upward move.

Uptrend Wave Study: Analyzing the current uptrend wave from 2016 to now, we can observe a semi-flag pattern from August 2020 to November 2023. This pattern recently broke out, signaling a continuation of the upward trend towards the 2.8K area.

Daily Chart Analysis: On the daily chart, I've analyzed and marked a flag pattern with a cyan rectangle, targeting $2825 by January 2025. To determine this, I measured the time from the 0% to the 61.8% Fibonacci level (143 bars) and applied the same period (143 bars) from the 38.2% to the 100% Fibonacci level, as shown in the chart below.

Please check my previous analyses on NVDA and BTC to see how useful the logarithmic scale is when dealing with large numbers and charts that show a steep upward trajectory.

As always, I recommend conducting your own research and analysis before making any trading decisions.
