The upward trend has been broken; are the bears doomed?GoldOANDA:XAUUSDTrading-Magician_G#XAUUSD XAUUSD I had to go out for something on Friday, so I left everyone with a bearish trading strategy. As the gold price rose on Friday night, the limit order I set at 3685 before leaving was activated. At present, friends who have referred to the trading strategy should be holding short positions like me. Let’s briefly analyze the possible market trends on Monday and how to arrange the short positions in hand. First, let’s review Friday’s trend. Driven by news and large-scale buying intervention from major ETF funds, gold in the US market broke the trend and began to rise. The 15-minute chart formed a classic W-shaped pattern, forming a double bottom near 3645. It then rebounded, breaking through the short-term resistance around 3660-3665, and ultimately rising to around 3685. The daily chart shows that Friday saw a large bullish candlestick close, with gold prices once again stabilizing above the MA5 moving average. This suggests a renewed bullish rally, and gold prices may continue to rise on Monday. At the same time, you can observe silver, which is also a precious metal. The upward trend of silver has not been broken, so the bulls still exist in the short term, which indirectly reflects the possibility of gold rising on Monday. But one thing worth noting is that when gold hit a new historical high earlier, silver also hit a new high. This time, silver broke through again, but gold did not follow suit and break new highs. This involves issues such as exchange rate conversion. Therefore, sometimes the US dollar and silver can be used as a reference for us, but we should not trust them too much. Overall, my judgment on gold on Monday is that it may continue to rise at the opening and touch around 3700 before encountering resistance and falling back, falling to near the turning point and then rebounding. Therefore, friends who hold short positions do not need to worry too much. Friends with sufficient funds can consider adding short positions around 3700 and adjust the TP of all short positions in their hands to 3670-3660. For those with smaller accounts or who can't effectively manage their trades, consider hedging to protect your account and unwind the hedge after the pullback. On the contrary, if gold falls directly, we can still look towards 3670-3660.
