Strong buying opportunity is on the horizon! For anyone who follows me, you know I like to setup my trades ahead of time and then wait for the entry signal. So here it is: the ICL will occur in the next few days and a new long entry will challenge recent highs. Gold has been trapped in a declining channel for the past few weeks and it is about to end. We are now approaching a noisy support zone with a lot of strong resistance points from which to bounce.
$1,314 - * support level that may hold
$1,306 - ** support level that is likely to hold
$1,294 - *** support level that is highly unlikely to be broken
This is the final C of an ABC correction wave and the USD is getting stronger (both putting short term downward pressure on gold prices). The current bear trend will continue in the short term but we are setting up a strong foundation from which to challenge to the prior $1,370 high. Collision of technical indicators also set a strong support level between $1,306 and $1,319
RSI - approaching oversold - buying opportunity ahead
100 MA - $1,318
200 MA - $1,301
Cycles - this cycle is very stretched - ranges are starting to expand
Downward channel - approaching the lower limits of the channel
Entry: any price action bullish signal between $1,320 and $1,306
Stop: $1,305
Target 1: $1,350
Target 2: $1,370+
