1-Day Chart Breakdown:
The 1D (1-day) chart shows a clear intraday downtrend:
- Opened at: $4,137
- Early high: $4,175 — the market initially moved up slightly.
- Then a steep drop after the early high — indicating strong selling pressure.
- Bottomed near $4,021, then small recovery to around $4,060 but no significant bounce, showing weak buyer momentum by the end of the session.
Interpretation:
This pattern reflects bearish sentiment for the day — likely due to:
- Stronger USD or Treasury yields increasing.
- Less demand for gold as a safe haven.
- Potential profit-taking after recent highs near $4,358.
💡
Spotting a Good Entry (Swing or Short-Term Trade):
Here’s how to identify a solid entry point using this kind of chart:
1. Watch for Support Levels:
- Short-term support: Around $4,020–$4,050 (today’s low area).→ If the price stabilizes here and forms a higher low, that’s a bullish reversal signal.
- Next strong support: Near $3,980–$4,000 (psychological level).→ If price dips to this range but shows volume increasing with slowing downside momentum, that’s a potential entry zone.
2. Confirm with RSI or Momentum Indicators (if available):
- Look for RSI below 30 or a MACD crossover upward — both indicate oversold conditions.
- Combine with a price bounce from a support level for confirmation.
3. Entry Strategy:
- Aggressive entry: Enter near $4,020 with a stop-loss around $3,990.
- Conservative entry: Wait for a break above $4,100 with strong volume — confirming trend reversal.
- Target: Short-term resistance near $4,175–$4,200.
⚠️
Risk Factors to Monitor:
- USD Index (DXY): If the dollar strengthens, gold typically weakens.
- Inflation Data / Fed Announcements: Gold reacts sharply to U.S. economic policy and interest rate expectations.
- Geopolitical News: Can quickly shift sentiment toward or away from gold.
