Candlestick Analysis

Gold is brewing a big drop!After the tariff issue was moderately cooled, gold returned to calm and volatility gradually narrowed! From the candle chart, although gold did not form an effective decline, the bullish momentum slowed down significantly! Since gold rose near 2970, it has reached a high of around 3246. The bulls did not get a respite. After the news returned to calm, gold may usher in a technical retracement repair; gold has been blocked near 3246 many times in the past two days, and the upper shadow line clearly shows a rejection signal! In the current gold structure, gold has formed a secondary high point near 3232, and it is very likely to combine the 3246 high point to form a double top structure, which is conducive to the decline of gold to a certain extent; In addition, compared with the market's expected targets of 3300 and 3400, the upper side belongs to an unknown area and is more risky, while the lower side has a previous historical track. From the perspective of market psychology and risk preference, gold prices may be more willing to retreat. So in the short term, I will still not give up my short position. Once gold falls below the 3205-3200 zone, the area around 3190 will not be able to stop the decline of gold. The retracement target area is located in: 3160-3140 zone.

Best Technical Indicator to Identify Order Block & Imbalance Your ability to correctly identify Order Blocks on a price chart is essential for profitable trading Smart Money Concept. In this article, I will show you a great technical indicator that will help you to spot Order Blocks on any financial market. First, in brief, let me give you my definition of Order Block. The problem is that in SMC trading there is no one single definition of that and many traders interpret it differently. To me, an Order Block is a specific zone on a chart from where a strong price movement initiates and where a significant imbalance between supply and demand occurs . This imbalance should strictly originate from a liquidity zone. That definition implies that in order to identify an Order Block zone, one should learn to properly identify the imbalance and liquidity zones. And again, there is no precise definition of an imbalance on a price chart. To me, a bullish imbalance is a formation of a bullish engulfing candle - the one that engulfs a range of previous bearish candle with its body. Above is the example of a valid Order Block on GBPUSD. A bearish imbalance is a formation of a bearish engulfing candle - the one that engulfs a range of a previous bullish candle with its body. Above, you can see the example of an Order Block on USDCAD, based on a bearish imbalance. There is one technical indicator that will help you to recognize such Order Blocks. It is called " All Candlestick Patterns" on TradingView. Open settings of the indicator and make it show ONLY Engulfing Candles and choose "No Detection" in "Detect Trends Based on". After that, hide the indicator and first, Identify the liquidity zones on a chart and wait for a test of one of these zones. Here is a test of a liquidity zone on NZDUSD on an hourly time frame. After that, turn on the indicator, and wait for its signal. You can see that after some time, the price formed a bullish imbalance with a bullish engulfing candle. The indicator highlight that candle. The Order Block zone will be based on the lowest low of 2 candles and the high of a bearish candle preceding the imbalance. One more example. We see a test of a significant liquidity zone on EURAUD on a 4H time frame. We turn on the indicator and look for a signal. A bearish imbalance is formed and the indicator immediately notifies us. An Order Block Zone in that case will be the area based on the highest high of 2 candles and the low of a bullish candle preceding the imbalance . Of course, there will be the rare cases when the indicator will miss the imbalances. But while you are learning to recognize Order Blocks, this indicator will definitely help you a lot!

Gold’s decline is not over yet, aim at: 3160-3150Gold fell below the 3200 mark several times during the test. Although it recovered above 3200 several times, the rebound momentum is gradually weakening, giving short sellers the opportunity to counterattack. From the perspective of the morphological structure, gold has perfectly constructed an arc top structure, laying a solid foundation for gold to usher in a retracement at any time. The 4-hour candle chart shows that the fall has just begun, so gold still has plenty of room for retracement. At present, gold has rebounded slightly after touching around 3200, but if it cannot break through the 3216-3220 zone during the rebound, it will further confirm the downward trend of gold, then gold will inevitably retreat to the 3160-3150 zone, and in the process of decline, once the profit chips are cashed in or even panic selling is triggered, gold may even have the opportunity to retreat to the 3130-3120 zone! Therefore, in terms of short-term trading, I still advocate shorting gold in batches. The decline of gold has not ended. Let us look forward to gold bringing us huge profits during the retracement!

Risks gradually accumulate, and short gold in batchesAt present, the highest price of gold has reached around 3244, but it soon fell back to below 3240; and the PPI data is obviously bullish for gold, but gold has not shown a significant upward fluctuation, indicating that as gold rises sharply, market sentiment tends to be more cautious, so that liquidity is insufficient. So from this point of view, gold still has a need for a correction! In the past three trading days, the increase in gold has reached $270. So even if gold remains strong at present, we should not blindly chase more gold. On the contrary, we can still gradually establish short positions in batches. As long as we strictly control the number of transactions in the transaction, we don’t have to worry too much about the transaction risk! Let us wait patiently for the market to gradually accumulate risk sentiment. Once it accumulates to the critical point, it only takes one opportunity for gold to collapse soon.

GOLD (XAUUSD): One More ConsolidationSince Friday, Gold has been consolidating in a horizontal channel on an hourly chart. If you are looking to buy Gold this week, wait for a breakout above the channel's resistance. It will initiate a movement higher, at least to 3260. On the other hand, if there is a bearish breakout below the channel's support, this can trigger a local correctional movement, at least to 3190. It is best to wait for a breakout for reliable confirmation before making any trades.
