The gold market moves with its own rhythm, and in a choppy environment, chasing rallies or dumping into dips is the biggest mistake.
During a tug-of-war between bulls and bears, subjective forecasting is especially dangerous: don't assume bulls will march relentlessly higher just because of one bullish candle, and don't turn entirely bearish after a single modest pullback.
On the daily chart, after gold rebounded from lows, the battle between longs and shorts has intensified, with indicators holding above the 50 line that separates bullish and bearish momentum.
In the short term, bulls show a willingness to gather strength for another push, but overhead resistance remains heavy.
Many traders repeatedly buy and sell within the range, flipping their view with every minor swing, and are easily knocked off balance by shakeouts. Yesterday's price action featured repeated shakeouts, with both sides fighting for every inch. Bulls defended support below and kept testing resistance above, while bears pressed from higher levels, leaving the two sides deadlocked and market sentiment quietly tense. The market remains in a box-range repair pattern, with bulls and bears relatively balanced.
Key intraday levels: support near 4100 below, and resistance around 4150 above. Trading idea: consider long positions on a pullback into the 4097-4100 area, targeting 4130-4150, with a stop loss at 4085.
