From a technical perspective, I see Gold entering a price zone that is worth considering for potential entry points.
Let’s review the 1-Hour Time Frame chart below before we proceed with the analysis:
We’ll analyze using Price Action (Trader Pressure) techniques. Currently, Gold remains in a Bullish/Uptrend market condition, but we should also anticipate a trend reversal if the price breaks through the Support area or consolidates further.
Observing candle history, we can identify Buy entry opportunities. However, to remain objective, I’ll outline setups for both Buy and Sell entries. In the chart above, we can see Buyer pressure (length of Green candles) gradually pushing prices higher, with Seller pressure (length of Red candles) unable to counteract this and forming a Higher Low. This indicates that Buyers are still dominant at certain price levels. However, Sell opportunities may still arise within Gold.
In the chart, I’ve marked the Resistance area with lines above the current price (2762.64 – 2755.58) and the Support area with lines below (2736.51 – 2729.61).
Here are my setup entry options, which you can adjust to suit your trading style:
Setup for Breakout Opportunity:
- If the 1-Hour candle closes above the Upper Resistance Boundary (2762.64), prepare to identify the best Buy entry positions.
- If the 1-Hour candle closes below the Lower Support Boundary (2729.61), prepare to identify the best Sell entry positions.
- Set a Stop Loss if the 1-Hour candle closes below the Lower Resistance Boundary (<2755.58) for Buy entries, or above the Upper Support Boundary (>2736.51) for Sell entries. Use a minimum risk-reward ratio of 1:1.
Setup for Pullback Sell Opportunity:
- For a pullback Sell position, use the Resistance area. If the 1-Hour candle closes within this pullback area, consider a Sell position and set a Stop Loss if the 1-Hour candle closes above the pullback Upper Boundary (>2762.64). Use a minimum risk-reward ratio of 1:1 in line with your trading strategy.
Setup for Pullback Buy Opportunity:
- For a pullback Buy position, use the Support area. If the 1-Hour candle closes within this pullback area, consider a Buy position and set a Stop Loss if the 1-Hour candle closes below the pullback Lower Boundary (<2729.61). Use a minimum risk-reward ratio of 1:1 in line with your trading strategy.
Always use good money management with every entry to support sustainable trading, and stay alert for potential Fake Breakout Candles.
I hope this article serves as a helpful reference in your market analysis.
Happy Trading, everyone!
