Gold’s rebound hits pressure, but the high-area trading rhythm remains unchanged

Gold Digger Lao Mao | Apr 21, 2026

The market will never change its path because of anyone’s expectations. What you can do is move with the trend—keep the rhythm steady during consolidation, and hold onto the direction within the trend.

From the 1-hour Bollinger Band structure, the price is moving near the upper band. Rebound momentum is gradually weakening, and the overhead pressure is clear. Overall, it’s still in a bearish repair rhythm with the highs moving lower. The rebound has not yet formed a reversal signal—so you can continue with the high-area short approach.

The midday market is mainly characterized by narrow-range consolidation, and the trading range is clear: the upper core resistance has been adjusted to the 4835-4845 zone. You can build high-area short positions in batches here. The first target is the 4805-4800 zone, and the second target is lower near 4790. The stop-loss is uniformly set above 4850. If the price unexpectedly breaks through 4845 and holds, you need to pause the high-area short approach to avoid the risk of chasing shorts and getting caught in a squeeze. However, as long as the overall bearish structure has not been broken, it’s not recommended to blindly chase longs—prioritize waiting for a second high-area short opportunity after the rebound is in place.
