On the 4-hour chart of gold, the slight uptrend is maintained as the price rebounds from the support line of the ascending channel. Currently, the price is hovering around $2,639/ounce, with the upside momentum supported by the EMA 34 and EMA 89. However, the RSI shows that the upside momentum is not strong enough yet, as it has not broken above the 60 level – a sign that selling pressure may appear at the resistance zone near $2,655-2,680/ounce.
In the short term, gold may continue to test this key resistance zone. If it fails to break above, the price may return to test the support at $2,620-2,630/ounce. Meanwhile, investors are still cautious ahead of the release of the US non-farm payrolls data, which could increase volatility in the market. For me personally, price action at support and resistance zones will be the deciding factor in my trading strategy, especially when the market reacts to important economic news.
Recommended trading strategy:
Buy: Entry: $2,630-2,635/ounce (near the support zone of the rising channel). Target (TP): $2,655/ounce (short term), $2,680/ounce (medium term). Stop loss (SL): $2,620/ounce.
Sell: Entry: $2,655-2,660/ounce (if the price fails to break the resistance zone). Target (TP): $2,635/ounce. Stop loss (SL): $2,670/ounce.
