Gold GC-Mini Market Analysis
The Gold GC-mini has been gradually weakening for the past 4 months, despite strong pushes by bulls. The weekly chart shows follow through for the bears though unable to break out to the downside, with a large tail beneath. The weekly bar is a bear doji bar which is a trading range bar. On the daily chart we have been in a tight bear channel that might be fractal, potentially being in the upper range of a larger bear channel. The daily chart also appears to be tightening into a triangle pattern.
Bulls are currently buying below the market, expecting breakouts to fail. Bears need to completely erase Wednesday’s tail by forcing a decisive close below 4455. A sustained breakout below that level traps the scale-in bulls. For most traders, the environment dictates caution. Do not buy the top of the minor daily ranges and do not short the bottom near major support.
