Gold Rare 8 Day Losing Steak

Gold GC-Mini Market Analysis

This week the Gold GC-mini ranged to the lows of the initial parabolic correction. Daily bears achieved a rare 8 day losing streak, creating an “always in short” environment. Take note that bulls were able to put significant tails on all of those 8 bear bars. Weekly bears closed with confidence beneath the moving average, only the 2nd time since February of 2024. Bulls did succeed at putting a tail on this week’s bar in hopes of creating a double bottom. Bulls are hoping to define a range as opposed to allow a runaway bear trend. The tail beneath this week’s bar was created perhaps from a combination of: 

A) stuck bears at the bottom of the parabolic correction buying back their shorts for a full break. even.

B) Bears taking profits at a sensible point of market structure.

C) Bulls waiting at the parabolic correction lows in order to buy again at a discount.

D) Bulls trying to defend the range from becoming a full blown bear trend.

Bullish case: If this is just a deep pullback in a strong bull trend (which is still the dominant higher-timeframe view), we should look for a “High 1” or “High 2” setup on the daily chart as buyers look to get in at a discount.  

Bearish case: If this week’s large bear bar gets follow-through selling, the bears will solidify control, and we could see a deeper correction.
