Bullish Engulfing Candle

GOLD TECHS

Gold remains in a clear downtrend however yesterday's price action suggests that the yellow metal may have found a base.

  • In pattern terms, yesterday is a bullish engulfing candle. If correct, it signals scope for a short-term correction / recovery.
  • The pattern is significant because it has occurred at the base of a broad bear channel drawn off the Aug 7, 2020 high.
  • Note too that the trend condition is overbought. This highlights the potential significance of yesterday's pattern, as a short-term reversal signal.
  • Key support has been defined at $1676.9, Monday's low.
  • A climb would, as a first objective, open the 20-day EMA at $1756.1. The 50-day EMA is at $1801.7.
  • A bearish break of $1676.9 negates the above set-up and resumes the downtrend instead.
