Weekly Breakdown Triggered
Earlier this week, a bearish breakdown from last week’s low of 2,370 was triggered, indicating weakness in the market. Gold has been consolidating since hitting a new record high of 2,431 in April. It is now testing support levels within this pattern, with the extended target for the falling ABCD pattern at 2,312, close to the bottom trendline of the consolidation pattern.
Strong Support Starts at 2,294
Further support can be found at earlier swing lows of 2,294 to 2,287. A decline below these levels will confirm a bearish breakdown from the consolidation top. By targeting 2,312, this retracement aligns with previous declines of 6.7% and 6.3%, offering a potential price target for the current movement.
Weekly Trend Indicator May be Challenged
The 20-Week MA is currently providing support slightly below this week’s low at 2,353, reflecting the ongoing uptrend since mid-October 2023. If the price breaks below this level, more aggressive selling could occur, potentially leading to a target around the internal uptrend line or the 161.8% extended target for the falling ABCD pattern at 2,266.
