XAUUSD trade ideas
Gold v GBP breakdownOne currency that has had a lot of downward pressure on it recently is the British Pound. However gold has fallen under a very strong diagonal trendline that has held for a long time. Given the pound is weak, does this mean gold is weaker? Seems like if future inflation expectations were high then gold would be doing better.
Weaker looking candles at the top on gold/GBPLooking at the price of gold from the perspective of the British Pound which is a relatively weak currency compared to the dollar, it looks to me like the candlestick patterns hitting the top resistance line of this chart are successively weaker indicating less conviction from buyers about getting above this all time high. Indeed the latest one from this week has quite a pronounced shooting star look to it.
Gold priced in British PoundsOn this chart I've drawn what I think could be a long term channel upward trend over the last 13 years. There is a bearish rising wedge forming since the last high of 2020. Then the last 4 months look to me like a bear flag. Overall this looks like a gold price bear market would not be surprising.
Gold priced in British Pounds stages a feeble breakoutGold in pounds has staged a breakout from a short term triangle this week but to me it looks insipid and not powerful. The long term picture to me looks like a bearish rising wedge pattern. I will not be convinced about this being a new bull market until the all time high is solidly breached.

XAU/GBPA firm break above the latter will open doors towards $1,884, where the R3 monthly pivot point aligns.
Alternatively, if sellers manage to find a strong foothold below the confluence of the Fibonacci 23.6%, the daily pivot point and weekly R2 pivot at $1,859, the corrective pullback could gain traction.
The next downside target is seen at the previous hourly low at $1,855, below which fierce support around $1,850 will come into play.
