Revealed: Beware of a strong counterattack from gold bears!

388
Perhaps due to the impact of the NFP market later, gold fluctuated relatively cautiously today, and neither the long nor the short side showed signs of breakthrough, and the overall trend remained volatile. However, as gold rebounded, the market bullish sentiment gradually tended to be optimistic. In the short term, the lower support area was relatively obvious, that is, the second pull-up point 3335-3325 area, followed by 3315-3305 area;

However, as gold rebounded twice and fell after touching 3365, the suppression above was also obvious. In the short term, it faced the suppression of 3375-3385 resistance. If gold cannot effectively break through this area, gold bears may make a stronger counterattack, so I don’t think gold bears have no chance at all.

Therefore, I think there is still a good profit opportunity to try to touch the top and short gold. You can consider trying to short gold in the 3365-3375-3385 ​​area and look at the target: 3340-3330-3320.
Trade active
Affected by the negative impact of non-agricultural employment data and initial jobless claims data, the price of gold fell sharply. Because gold fell directly, there was no opportunity for us to short gold. The current lowest price has fallen to around 3312, and the decline has narrowed around 3312. We have already bought gold around 3312, and it is currently rebounding and bringing us huge profits.
Trade closed: target reached
Under the influence of NFP, gold fell sharply as expected. My previous suggestion was verified by the market again. "Gold rose in advance to reserve room for the NFP market to fall." After NFP, gold fell to around 3311, and the decline narrowed. So we accurately seized the opportunity to buy gold near 3312 and set TP: 3330. Obviously, gold successfully hit TP during the rebound and easily made a profit of 180pips.

The cliff-like decline of gold, I think it is not just because of the negative impact of NFP. From the current gold structure, gold encountered resistance and retreated twice near 3365, and built a double top structure in the short-term structure. In order to eliminate the suppression of the double top structure, gold still needs to continue to fall after the rebound. After the cliff-like decline of gold, the short-term resistance is in the 3340-3345 area, and the short-term support below is in the 3320-3310 area.

So I think that gold can still continue to short gold after the rebound, and I have already shorted gold around 3336 with the 3340-3345 area as resistance. Now we just need to wait patiently for gold to hit TP. Let us wait and see!
