Technical analysis of gold: The daily level of gold continues to show a cross K-line pattern, the price fluctuation range is further narrowed, and the market lacks short-term upward momentum. After rising with inertia, the market turned back to a volatile trend again. Yesterday, the gold price reached a high of 2954.50, and then encountered strong pressure, and then fell back to a low of 2924.50. The price stabilized and closed flat in the late trading period. The overall trend was very similar to the previous day, showing the characteristics of a small surge after the momentum is difficult to sustain. The current market maintains a high-level shock and contraction pattern. Today coincides with the closing day of the weekly line. During the Asian session, the gold price lacks the momentum to further break through the previous high. From a short-term perspective, the market is likely to continue to fluctuate at a high level, or continue to maintain a volatile and saw-saw trend of highs and falls.
In early trading in Asia today, gold suddenly plunged more than 20 US dollars in the 2950 area, and then rebounded quickly, highlighting the intensity of the game between the long and short parties. At present, the support strength of the 2925-2920 range below is significant. Once this support level is effectively broken, the bears will take the initiative in the market. However, if gold prices are to achieve a sharp decline, they need to successfully overcome the support of the 2915 area where the 10-day moving average is located.
Since the current market started to rise from 2580, the price has been rising steadily along the 10-day moving average. Therefore, only by falling below the 10-day moving average can the short sellers fully control the market rhythm and then test the 2900-2880 range downwards (this range is the key watershed for the mid-term trend). Before the 10-day moving average has not fallen below, gold prices will still repeatedly try to rise higher. On the whole during the day, there is strong suppression in the 2950-2955 range. You can consider bearish rallies. At the same time, you need to focus on the short-term pressure in the 2940-2942 area. If the gold price breaks through a new high again, there is a high probability that it will still show a rising and falling trend. At this time, we should pay close attention to the suppressive effect of the 2965 area and the 2980 area. As for the 3,000 mark, there are no conditions for a breakthrough this week. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of a sharp rise in gold prices today is low.
Taken together, today's short-term operation of gold, our team of professional senior gold analysts recommends shorting the rebound at high levels, supplemented by longs at low levels. The top short-term focus will be on the 2940-2945 first-line resistance, and the bottom short-term focus will be on the 2910-2905 first-line support. The short-term focus on the upper resistance of 2940-2945 and the short-term focus on the lower support of 2910-2905.
