2οΈβ£ **Technical analysis:** πΉ **D frame**: As you can see yesterday closed with a long-legged pinbar. The uptrend of gold is still holding πΉ **H4 frame**: The uptrend structure on H4 frame is also holding. You can see the price touching the H4 trendline and reacting strongly πΉ **H1 frame**: You can see H1 is at the old resistance zone. We can wait for the price reaction here to consider setting up a position.
3οΈβ£ **Trading plan:** β Gold is currently still in a multi-frame uptrend and still has the basis to set a new peak. However, the price has gone all day and there has been no significant correction. The SELL option will not be considered unless there is a clearer price reaction at the current resistance area. β The current priority is still looking for opportunities to BUY in line with the main trend. You can refer to the plan in the H1 frame plan.
