Gold Price Plunges by Nearly 200 Points! Guide to Unwinding Long Positions:
This week, gold fell one-way from the 4309 peak stage down to 4110, for a cumulative drop of nearly 200 points. During the way, every rebound was met with resistance and turned back into declines. The larger-timeframe downtrend is clear. Many traders who chased longs at high levels, as well as those who tried to buy the dips mid-way, have all ended up trapped.
Deeply trapped long positions at 4250–4300: Don’t force it. If price rebounds into the strong resistance zone of 4180–4200, reduce 70% of the position. Set the remaining position’s stop-loss at 4220. If price pulls back to 4115–4125, take back the position. Use rolling trades to gradually lower the average price and work toward being fully unwound.
Shallowly trapped long positions at 4180–4220: First priority is to exit on rebounds. If the rebound reaches 4170–4190, look for an opportunity to close out with a small loss. Then follow the trend and go short; use profits from short positions to cover the losses.
Shorts chased below 4120 that are trapped: Don’t panic. When price retraces to 4120–4130, exit directly. Or add to the short to lower the average entry price. Take profit when price rebounds to around 4170.
Before the trend has reversed, reducing longs into strength is the best strategy. Never add to positions against the trend—getting deeper into the trap only makes things worse.
