To be honest, I’ve never really believed in pure technical analysis, but this time the 4H and daily chart confluence does seem to have some merit.

The technicals look good, but don’t forget that the Fed could pull something at any time. Keep your position light and use a stop-loss.

This rally from 3942 has indeed been fierce. The 4-hour chart is clearly in a bullish alignment, and it feels like breaking through 4632 is only a matter of time.

If 4620 can hold, the next stop could well be 4800. In any case, I’ve placed a breakout order.

Just looking at the technical indicators feels like something is missing; at this price level, I’m not confident about chasing longs.

A MACD golden cross below the zero line combined with the daily SAR turning bullish has a fairly high win rate on gold, guys, so keep a close eye on whether 4630 holds.
