Analysis of the gold market's price action:
On July 7th, our previous analysis correctly anticipated the start of a corrective pullback in gold prices, and the market's movement has precisely matched this forecast. In the early session, the price surged to a high of 4202 before encountering resistance, then oscillated and weakened, breaking through the key support level at 4156. It subsequently extended its decline to a low of 4128 in the evening before finding some stability. In today's early trading, gold experienced a brief technical rebound, rising slightly to hold above 4168. However, the bullish momentum was insufficient, and the rebound lacked sustainability, failing to maintain the recovery gains. The price quickly faced renewed selling pressure after the rise, falling back and breaking to a fresh low of 4116, further reinforcing the downward correction pattern.
Reviewing the recent market activity, both recent rebound attempts have ended with prices falling from their highs. The successive formation of resistance levels at 4202 and 4168 strongly indicates that bullish momentum is exhausted and upward power is weak. A genuine stabilization and reversal in the market would necessarily be accompanied by a strong, high-volume rally that breaks through previous highs. The current price action completely lacks the conditions for a bottom, and combined with the weak structure characterized by failed rallies and secondary breaks to new lows, this corrective downtrend is not yet complete. It is highly likely that the market will continue to face downward pressure today.
In the short term, the 4168 level can be defined as the critical line for intraday bullish/bearish control. Within the current correction cycle, it will be difficult for the gold price to effectively break above this level, and the overall market rhythm is expected to maintain a pattern of oscillating decline. On the support side, the key area to watch below is the previous low range of 4100-4106. It is probable that the current decline will find a bottom and stabilize within this zone. Synthesizing the market structure, a continuation of the corrective move is the most likely scenario for today. The trading strategy should maintain a 'short first, long later' approach. Look for further declines while the price remains under pressure below 4168, with aggressive traders potentially entering short positions near 4150. After a pullback finds solid support and stabilizes within the 4100-4106 zone, one can then consider switching to long positions to trade a potential rebound.
