Gold PA Check: Bulls Taking a break Near 2,670

The price is hovering around 2,671, and , it seems like price is playing a bit of a waiting game here. We've got this nice upward trend (Short rally but still looking good) since late December, which is encouraging for the bulls, but we're seeing some hesitation at current levels.

For Intra day, I'd keep a close eye on that 2,680 level - if we break above that with decent volume, we could see a nice move up. But here's the thing - the volume's been pretty average lately, nothing too exciting, which suggests people might be waiting for a clearer signal maybe waiting for CPI data today.
For Swing/ longer-term positions, the setup actually looks quite healthy to till time. We're making higher lows, which is always good to see, and that support around 2,630-40 seems pretty solid. The big test will be whether we can push through that 2,700-2,720 zone - that's where things could get interesting.

One thing I particularly like is how the price is respecting that pivot level at 2,667. It's acting like a nice reference point for current PA.

The market's in a bit of a consolidation phase right now for Intra day - so if you're planning any trades, you might want to wait for a clear breakout with volume confirmation rather than trying to force anything in this choppy action.
Key risk level: Below S1 (2,636) would invalidate bullish bias for Intra day and for Swing .
Note
Going as planned
