Gold pulled back from its recent high last week, rejected by 2078 early during Monday’s US session. It cleared the 2050(1) support on Wed., triggering a round of selling and falling to an early weekly low of 2030. The price stayed within the range of 2035-2050, waiting for the release of US job data. When the data was announced, there was an increase in volatility; however, the closing price didn’t show any significant changes.

1-hour chart – Gold price is still fluctuating within the range of 2035-2050 after the US job data. In the past 48 trading hours, an S-T support has formed, and traders can consider utilizing the triangle pattern(2). Expect a breakout within the next 24 hours. The key event for this week will be the release of US core inflation data on Thursday.

Daily chart – A strong US job data last Friday has led to a strong US dollar punching the gold prices lower. On the other hand, it also reinforced expectations of an early interest rate cut, indicating a potential “soft landing” for the US economy, lifting the gold price up. The market as a result still lacks a clear direction. The 20-day MA(4) remains critical; and the previously mentioned upward support line (6) is still valid, and attention should be given to the larger triangle pattern on the daily chart (5) this week. Within the next 5-7 days, it is crucial for gold to break above the resistance zone of 2070-2080; if it fails to do so, the price will escape the upward support (6), and the overall structure on the daily chart will enter a sideways pattern.

Expect the price to consolidate further in S-T before the trading volume returns from the holiday.

1-hour chart – Gold prices reached a recent high of 2088 in early trading last Thu. However, it failed to hold above 2080. After the price escaped from the uptrend channel(1) at the end of last week, gold formed an S-T downward channel(2) in the past 48 trading hours. The price has departed from the downward trend (2) early in the Asian session today, indicating an S-T rebound. After touching 2070, expect the price to be bounded by 2050-70.

Daily Chart – The overall trading volume in the gold market has been low since Dec. 20th. Without significant trading volume driving, the gold price failed to hold above 2081(4), and experienced a round of profit-taking during this holiday period. The resistance zone remains between 2070-2075. Unless the price can clear this resistance, we can expect the price to consolidate further. Support levels to watch below include the 20-day MA(5) and the support line (6). Gold needs to wait for a high-volume environment in order for it to surge higher. Keeping an eye on the release of US employment data at the end of this week.
