The price has perfectly aligned with what I expected most recently. It reached the goal I had in mind. 4 January in the market for gold against the U.S. dollar, known as XAUUSD, there was a substantial downward trend. This trend pushed the price below the area I had been watching, known as the swing zone. After this large downward movement, the price increased slightly but only up to the same swing zone. Now, I notice the market is climbing again, aiming for a higher swing zone. I predict that after reaching this point, the market will likely show little movement up or down. I base this prediction on a pattern I observed on the daily chart, called the inside bar pattern, which often indicates a slowing or pausing of the trend.
XAUUSD Context
In addition to this, the market has shaped itself into what is known as a head and shoulders pattern. The crucial area of this pattern, the neckline, is between the prices of 2053 and 2060. I am keeping a close eye on this zone. If the price revisits this swing zone, I am ready to look for selling opportunities. I will wait for clear indicators of a price reversal, such as rejection bars or a quick rise followed by an immediate fall, known as a fakeout.
