FX.co ★ Trading tips for gold

Gold surprisingly rallied after the Fed's press conference on Wednesday. Then, it pulled back without breaking through 1815.

This situation allows traders who have been working for a fall in the last four weeks to hide their risks beyond 1815. This trap is likely to slam during the volatile pre-New Year time.

This means that we should abandon short positions, at least until a false breakdown of 1815. We may also work for an increase, following this scheme:

Since there is a three-wave pattern (ABC) where wave A is the buying pressure observed in the past days, traders can take long positions from 1790 and 1783 up to the 50%-61.8% retracement levels.

Set stop loss at 1764 and take profit on breakdown of 1815

This trading idea is based on Price Action and Stop Hunting strategies.

Good luck and have a nice day!
