Day trading strategy (1 hour)

The analysis of the 1-hour chart shows Gold rising to 2745 USD, with potential to challenge its all-time high at 2790 USD. The breach of the 2725 USD neckline is significant, and as long as uncertainty around the Trump administration’s policies remains, the bullish trend is likely to continue. A recommended strategy for day trading is to buy on dips around 2730 USD, with a target of 2750 USD and a stop-loss set below 2720 USD.
