This Week's Market Review and Next Week's ForecastGOLD (US$/OZ)TVC:GOLDHAMID_AQHello everyone： Having traded for many years, I've always followed an ironclad rule: Larger timeframes determine the direction, smaller timeframes find entry points. The market is always cycling through periods of gains and losses; consolidation and shakeouts are a common tactic used by major players to clear out retail investors' positions. Never let short-term daily fluctuations disrupt your weekly chart strategy. Currently, the battle between bulls and bears in gold is fierce, with the price repeatedly fluctuating within a range. The more it consolidates within this range, the more crucial it is to adhere to your principles. Only by clearly identifying wave cycles and understanding the rhythm of the bull-bear battle can you protect your profits and avoid the risk of repeated stop-losses during these volatile periods. In-depth Analysis of Gold Market Weekly Timeframe: Fund Logic and Trend Prediction Gold saw limited volatility this week, ultimately closing with a lower shadow bearish candlestick. Looking at fund flows, the bears continuously pushed the price down to test support, but strong buying support at lower levels held, firmly holding the previous low of 3942 and significantly limiting further downside. The overall trend for next week is slightly bearish with some volatility, but strictly adhere to the rule: If the previous low isn't broken, don't chase the market down. Two possible market scenarios: Scenario 1: Continued downtrend. Once the price breaks below 3942, further downside is possible. The key entry point for long positions in the medium term is the 3887-3830 range. Scenario 2: Range-bound consolidation. The price oscillates between 3940 and 4100 (4200), repeatedly testing the upper and lower limits. Only two signals are needed to completely reverse the downtrend: a rapid drop followed by a quick recovery to the lows, or the price stabilizing above 4100 or even 4200. From the weekly chart and the perspective of capital flow, the optimal strategy is to buy near the 3940 support level if it holds, and then sell short when it encounters resistance at 4100-4200. Once gold stabilizes above 4200, the uptrend will officially begin, with at least another 100-200 USD upside potential. On Friday, gold rebounded after testing the lows, quickly recovering from a low of 3959, closing positive on the daily chart, indicating a short-term rebound. A slight upward trend is likely to continue on Monday. Gold Trading Recommendations: If prices initially fall back to the 3990-4002 area on Monday, we can consider going long. If prices rise first and reach the resistance area above 4043-4060, we can decisively go short.
