Gold - correction or reversal?

This image is no longer relevant

The COT report published last Friday showed that gold futures diverged in price, reaching historic highs, with which the Open Interest indicators are 100,000 contracts below the levels reached this spring. Among other things, speculators, who are the main driving force behind the growth of gold and other commodity assets, for seven weeks, maintained long positions at constant values, in the range of 210-220 thousand contracts, which was a fundamental discrepancy. Hence, the market turned out to be overheated, in which a price drop is not long in coming.

Figure 1: Technical picture of gold, Daily TF

Looking at the daily chart, it is clear that the fall in gold is still a correction, in which the quote crossed the 20 MA (moving average line) from top to bottom and stopped at $ 1860, where the 50 MA is located. In other words, gold fell below the average monthly value, but remained above the average quarterly price level (Figure 1). This suggests that the quote changed direction from up to down in the four-hour timeframe, but remained in an upward direction in the daily TF.

Nonetheless, traders base their transactions depending on which time frame he will enter the market. If it is on the daily TF, buy deals are the most recommended, but before doing this, it is necessary to determine the target level and profit/loss ratio of each transaction in order to avoid significant damage to the deposit.

Thus, looking at the chart again, it is clear that the level which traders should close their position is $ 1788, the price level below the midline of the 100 MA. This is because the 100 MA shows the direction of the trend over the previous six months, with which if the price falls below this value, it will most likely mean that the trend has finally changed its direction from upward to downward, where buy deals are then unprofitable.

As for the approximate target level, it can be calculated by the difference between the current price and the level of the expected stop order: $ 1935 - $ 1788 = $ 147, which can be rounded off to 150. General rules assume a profit and risk ratio of at least 2 to 1, due to which winning trade must close two losing ones. Thus, the target profit is now $ 300, which for our example would be $ 2235.

Meanwhile, if trades are set in lower time frames, positions should be reduced by half from the normal value. Risks should also always be controlled, as to avoid losing profit.

Good luck and have a good day!

2025年4月2日歐元/美元預測

週二,歐元/美元匯率從1.0781-1.0797的支撐區反彈,但未能上升至斐波那契200.0%水平1.0857。週三早上,該匯率重新回到1.0781-1.0797區域。

2025年4月2日英鎊兌美元匯率預測

在小時圖上,週二英鎊/美元貨幣對繼續橫盤整理。目前市場上多空雙方均未有明顯優勢——這種情況已經持續了一整個月。

2025年4月2日歐元/美元預測

截至昨天收盤,歐元下跌了25個點,而市場的風險偏好卻持續增長:S&P 500上升了0.38%,美國5年期國債收益率連續第三天穩定在3.95%,美元指數僅微幅上漲0.03%。不過,歐元區和美國的PMI指數都對美國經濟有利,投資者因此如預期般作出反應,主要忽視了歐元區失業率和通脹數據的下降。

2025年4月2日英鎊/美元預測

昨日英國3月份製造業活動數據顯示,由46.9下降至44.9。相較於美國指數由52.7下降至50.2,英國指數的跌幅看來令人沮喪——特別是因為這是自2023年10月以來的最低數字。

2025年4月2日的比特幣預測

比特幣 (BTC) 在達到支撐位81,231(約3月4日和18日的低點)後,價格接近MACD線(86,038)。如果突破此線,價格將有望進一步增長至下一目標位90,873,然後是94,966。

2025年4月1日至3日EUR/USD交易信號:低於1.0804時賣出 (21 SMA - 8/8 Murray)

在美國交易時段早期,歐元約在1.0791附近交易,在3月14日形成的下降趨勢通道的頂部後,正在進行技術性回調,並顯示出疲態。 歐元正掙扎於繼續上升,目前交易低於21SMA,這表明技術性回調可能會在接下來的幾個小時繼續。
