Xingwu: Gold breaks below the middle band, bears dominate, and a rebound is a shorting opportunity

The market is gathering strength in consolidation, and the trend’s direction is always hidden in the details. Be patient and wait; opportunities will come naturally.

Today’s spot gold opened at 4633.47. As of the current quote, it is 4645.83, down 29.81 from yesterday’s close, a decline of 0.64%. The intraday high reached 4666.03, and the low dipped to 4614.54, showing an overall oscillating downward trend.

From the 1-hour Bollinger Bands indicator, the bands are currently opening downward, with the upper band at 4705.71, the middle band at 4644.7, and the lower band at 4583.7, clearly visible. The price is currently below the middle band, just breaking below the support of the middle band, indicating that short-term bearish momentum is dominant, and the market continues the previous downward trend. The upper band exerts strong resistance on the price, while the lower band is the current key support zone. If the price further declines, around 4583 will be an important defense level for bulls. Once it is broken, the downward space will open further.

Considering the current structure, for short-term trading, focus on resistance in the 4660-4670 range, which is the pressure zone between the middle and upper Bollinger Bands. A rebound into this zone can be used as a high shorting opportunity. The key support below is in the 4610-4580 range. If the price retraces to near the lower band and stabilizes, a light long position can be tried. The overall strategy is to mainly look for rebounds to go short, with low buy positions as a supplement, strictly controlling position size and risk.
