Gold Jumps Sharply After News Trigger; Today, Be Careful of High-Level Consolidation and Correction
In the trading market, sudden news often breaks the existing technical rhythm. After a surge, avoid blindly chasing the price higher. While the trend may have more than one direction, the entry point determines the confidence behind your position. Wait patiently for reasonable support before positioning yourself—only then can you reduce the risk brought by a spike followed by a pullback.
U.S. Dollar Index
Yesterday, the U.S. Treasury rescue-debt news hit the market. Falling U.S. Treasury yields led to a weaker dollar. The price broke below the 99 level, and the daily chart closed with a large bearish candle. According to the logic of trend continuation, there is room for further downside in the short term. Today, focus on the 99—98.3 trading range. Watch the battle between support and resistance within the range, and wait for the market to release more momentum.
Gold $XAU
Yesterday, a news catalyst sparked a breakout. Gold surged by $200 in a single day, and the daily chart printed a strong bullish candle, with bullish momentum concentrated and released. The broader cycle’s bullish structure remains unchanged; overall, the main idea is still to buy on pullbacks. However, in the early session, after the gold price briefly pierced above yesterday’s high, it quickly fell back—indicating pressure at higher levels. During the day, stay alert for a consolidation-and-correction pattern after the spike. Look for long positions above 4500, and under no circumstances chase longs.
Short-term Support Levels (to sort out):
A reference ideal long entry is the low point of the early-morning retracement at 4472. If price maintains strength, the support near 4500 following a top-bottom “turnaround” can be tracked for longs. If the market enters a choppy range for washing out, a pullback to 4450 is not ruled out—this level can still be used to set up long orders. The first upside target is 4527. A strong resistance level is at 4546. If price reaches that area and fails to break through, you can consider a short trade.
Medium-to-Long-Term View:
Once the price can stand firmly and effectively above 4550, upside room will open further. You can look toward 4600, and even 4800—though it will require time to realize gradually.
Intraday Trading Plan:
Buy on pullbacks near 4472. If the market is relatively strong, place the initial longs anchored around 4500, with upside targets in the 4530—4550 area. When approaching 4550, if it meets resistance and fails to break through, you can switch and go short.
Crude Oil $CL
Yesterday’s crude oil movement matched expectations. The daily chart formed a cross-star candle (indicating temporary balance between bulls and bears), so a range-bound approach still applies. If it rebounds and faces rejection around 86—87 without breaking higher, continue to set up short positions. If it falls to support areas near 83.4 and 82 and stabilizes without further decline, then go long following the trend.
