Gold short-term trading strategy update

I. Analysis of key price ranges
Bull market attack path (need to break through to confirm)

First resistance level: 3355~3360 (yesterday's high, pressure zone in Asian session)

Breakthrough signal: three consecutive K lines on the hourly chart stand above 3360, and trading volume increases

Second resistance level: 3375~3380 (golden ratio 0.618 + weekly Bollinger band middle track)

Final goal: 3400 integer mark (breakthrough will trigger algorithmic trading buy, accelerate to 3425/3450)

Bear market counterattack defense line (break through and reverse the trend)

First support level: 3315 (5-day moving average + 4-hour chart EMA55)

Key observation point: Can this position be maintained before the European session?

Life and death line: 3300~3295 (psychological barrier + opening price of this week)

Breakthrough target: 3275 (low point on June 28) → 3255~3245 (200-day moving average + weekly level support)

II. Intraday long and short tactical deployment

▶ Long strategy (defensive counterattack type)

Entry conditions:

Appearance near 3315: ① 15-minute chart Pinbar reversal pattern ② RSI bottom divergence (30-minute cycle)

Stop loss setting: 3308 (invalid before breaking through the previous low)

Target ladder:

3340 (Asian session high)

3355 (reduce position 50%)

3375 (stop loss to cost price)

▶ Short strategy (trend-following strategy)

Stop loss rules:

High stop loss 3378 (break through yesterday's high 1.5 times ATR)

Break through short-term stop loss 3318 (pullback after support turns into resistance)

Target space:

3275 (profit and loss ratio 1:3)

3255 (medium-term holding requires cooperation with non-agricultural data)

III. Institutional order flow monitoring
CME futures data:

There is a large option barrier above 3350 (25,000 call options expire)

There is an accumulation of algorithmic trading buying in the 3300~3315 range (high-frequency trading support level)

London fixing price reminder:

This morning's fixing price is 3326. If the afternoon fixing price is lower than 3310, bearish sentiment will increase
IV. Emergency Warning
Today's US ADP employment data

Expected: +185,000 |

Data>200,000: bearish for gold (quick test of 3300)

Data<150,000: positive for breaking through 3355

Geo-risk time window

Iran nuclear negotiation deadline
★ Final conclusion:

Asia-Europe session: 3315~3355 range operation (sell high and buy low)

US session: wait for ADP data to trigger a breakthrough, strictly stop loss of $3 (leverage accounts need to reduce positions to one-third)

Breakthrough formula:

"Break through 3355 and chase more, don't guess the top before 3400;
3300 is lost and then pulled back, consider catching the flying knife at 3255"
