"Gold at a Crossroads: Buy the Dip or Prep for the Peak?"GOLD (US$/OZ)TVC:GOLDAnalyze-kingMarket Pulse: On Wednesday, after touching the 4870 level, gold prices experienced a sharp "surge-and-retreat" movement, subsequently entering a consolidation phase within the 4786 to 4826 range. Despite facing heavy pressure from profit-taking and exhibiting technical signs of being overbought, the market's underlying upward momentum remains robust. It is anticipated that today, the market will witness an intense tug-of-war between bulls and bears, centering around the 4800 to 4850 range. Strategic Pivot: We are focusing on swing trading (Mid-term) rather than scalping. Avoid small trades (under 10 points). The priority is to buy the dip near 4800, only considering shorts at extreme resistance levels. Execution Guide 1. The Long Strategy (Primary) Entry Zone: Layered buys at 4785 and 4740. Stop Loss: 8 points. Target: 50+ points (Look for a return to 4830+). Rule: Maintain strict stop-losses; do not chase the price in the middle of the range. 2. The Short Strategy (Tactical) Entry Zone: Light "probe" shorts above 4860. Stop Loss: 10 points. Target: 30 – 50 points. Rule: This is a high-risk counter-trend trade. If the stop-loss is hit, do not re-enter shorts today.
