5.15 Gold Midday Analysis
After hitting a high of 4773 and facing resistance, we’ve seen continuous oscillation and a downward trend. Recently, a series of large bearish candles have broken down, fully releasing the short-term bearish momentum. There’s a slight oversell and a need for a small bounce-back, but this rebound is just a technical retracement in the downward trend.
The 5, 10, and 20-period moving averages are all sloping downwards, with the price breaking below all short-term averages. The current price is around 4571, with moving average resistance concentrated in the 4614-4673 range. The bearish pressure above is quite strong, indicating a classic downtrend market.
The overall bullish phase at high levels has ended, and the trend has officially turned bearish. We are currently in the main decline phase; this afternoon, we are likely to see a small weak rebound for correction. If the rebound doesn’t break the moving average resistance, the downtrend will continue. Only a firm hold above 4673 will pause the bearish trend.
Trading Strategy:
Entry: Look to short as the price approaches the 4615-4630 moving average resistance, targeting 4550-4510.
Currently, consider light long positions near 4560 to catch an oversold bounce, aiming for 4610.
Main Direction: Focus on shorting the rebound, with low longs only for short-term plays.
