XAUUSD Technical Analysis
Analyzing the daily chart of gold, we see that it continues to hit record highs. After breaking above 2,800 USD, gold surged to 2,848 USD. Factors such as uncertainty over tariff policies and a rebound in Canada have influenced this movement. Although the stock market is digesting these developments, risk aversion continues to strengthen.
From a technical perspective, the 28-day moving average has crossed above the 90-day moving average, forming a golden cross. According to Granville’s Rule, when a short-term moving average that once dipped below a long-term moving average crosses back above it, it indicates a strong bullish trend.
However, the Stochastic Oscillator is in the overbought zone, suggesting a possible overvaluation. Meanwhile, MACD continues to form a significant peak, confirming the strong upward momentum.
Day trading strategy (1 hour)
Analyzing the 1-hour chart of gold, the 28-period moving average is acting as a support line, with the price rebounding from the short-term moving average, indicating strong bullish momentum. The Stochastic Oscillator is pointing downward, and the MACD histogram shows a weakening upward momentum.
From a fundamental perspective, a buy-on-dip strategy remains favorable.
Day Trading Plan:
Entry: Place a limit buy order around 2,830 USD, expecting a rebound.
Stop Loss: If the price falls below 2,825 USD, exit the trade.
