Harmonically at least, Gold appears to be operating under two crab harmonic patterns.
The longer pattern, in place since the peak on March 8th 2022, has hit its target 1.
The shorter Deep Crab Pattern has hit targets 1 and 2.
In the short term, it would not be unreasonable for Gold to retreat back to the late September low.
A solid bottom here should trigger a retest of the original targets and perhaps more follow-through.
As confirmation, I would want the stochastic indicator to head down the 25 level and reverse.
Assuming a position my stop would be just under $1600.
So I am waiting for sub $1620 and then I will take a hard look at a long position.
This is not investment advice and so your own due diligence.
