#gold-trading

The market is unpredictable — stay rooted in the present. Let go of past experience bias. Refuse gamble mentality. Consolidation is the path. Taking profit is the result. Close the loop. June is closing. Seize the opportunity. Leave no regrets.

Gold's bounce is still running — short-term technical adjustment in play. But let me be clear: the bigger downtrend hasn't changed. A bounce is a bounce, not a reversal. Once this leg runs its course, we're likely heading lower again. If gold keeps pushing up and reaches the 4060-4080 zone for the first time, I'm entering short. This isn't calling a top. It's trading the exhaustion of a counter-trend move within a downtrend. In a bear market, selling into resistance is far safer than trying to pick a bottom. Until the structure turns bullish, I'm only selling rallies, not buying dips.

Gold bounced from 3,963 to 4,033 in the evening session — a textbook technical rebound I called earlier. But the bounce is weak. Lower highs, lower lows, resistance keeps dropping. Do not try to pick a bottom. 4H chart: near-term resistance at 4,050–4,060. Key level is 4,100. Structure says sell the rallies. My plan: Short 4,040–4,050, stop 4,070, target 3,980. Break of 3,980 opens the next leg down. Trade what you see, not what you hope.

The 2015-2018 tightening cycle cost me a lot because I kept fighting the trend. I thought "gold is cheap, it has to bounce." It did not bounce for three years. Lesson: do not fight the Fed. Trade the range, do not buy and hold.
