Yesterday, the market completely invalidated the key support zone that I shared, which was between $4093 and $4116. Instead of respecting that support, Gold opened with a gap-down below the zone. As a result, what was supposed to be a strong support area immediately turned into a strong resistance.
Overall, anyone who was holding buy positions from last week's lows, especially traders who were using $4000 as their stop-loss level, got trapped badly on Monday. We witnessed a very aggressive sell-off throughout the session. Looking at that price action, I don't believe Gold is ready for a meaningful recovery just yet. Instead, I expect the market to continue attracting small buyers before extending its bearish move.
Gold has been holding above the $3950 support area for some time now, but I believe that level is likely to break in the coming sessions.
For me, the trading plan remains very simple. As long as Gold stays below $4055, I will continue looking for selling opportunities on every rally because I believe the market's primary objective is still to trap buyers.
The market tried several times to hold above the important $4055 to $4080 support zone, but every recovery attempt failed. Yesterday's sharp decline confirmed that buyers currently lack the strength to regain control. More importantly, it suggests that institutional players are not interested in supporting a short-term bullish trend. Instead, their focus appears to be pushing the market lower while trapping every new buyer entering too early.
Now let's discuss my short and simple trading plan for Tuesday.
Considering yesterday's aggressive sell-off and respecting the current price action, I don't expect Gold to suddenly recover and begin a strong bullish rally. If that happens, it would represent a complete manipulation move rather than a healthy price action recovery.
From both a psychological and price action perspective, my expectation is slightly different.
Right now, Gold is fluctuating around the $4000 level, creating confusion between buyers and sellers. Yesterday's aggressive decline has changed market sentiment significantly. Whenever the market makes such a large impulsive move, it rarely continues moving aggressively in the same direction immediately afterward. Instead, it usually spends some time creating liquidity before the next major move begins.
Because of that, I expect Gold to show a limited upside correction first. The purpose of this move would likely be to trap the sellers who entered near yesterday's closing prices while simultaneously attracting fresh buyers back into the market.
Notice that Gold only briefly broke below $4000 before quickly recovering back above it. That temporary breakdown likely convinced many traders that the downside move had ended, encouraging them to enter fresh buy positions once the price reclaimed $4000.
In my opinion, Gold may extend this recovery toward the $4030 to $4040 area. However, I believe that move will simply create another selling opportunity before the market reverses lower once again. My expectation is that Gold will eventually move back below $4000 after that temporary recovery.
This entire trading plan is based purely on price action and market psychology.
I hope you found today's analysis logical and helpful. Wishing everyone the very best for Tuesday's trading session. Trade patiently, manage your risk carefully, and let the market come to your levels instead of chasing price.
