am concluding that even though I had sold all paper gold Friday (did not sell any gold miners and miner ETFs), and shorted paper gold puts at strikes below my paper gold exit price to pick up some walk around money thinking coming week and realising I might have made a mistake and should have bought calls, I probably should buy crypto gold (Paxo Gold) before the weekend runs out yes, am all over the place and very confused am close to concluding that the time for all-in on gold / silver cannot be too far off not so convinced as to buy gold calls investopedia.com Watch These Important Gold Price Levels As Metal Hits Record High Key Takeaways Gold prices climbed to set a new record high on Tuesday as investors move into the precious metal amid rising expectations that the Federal Reserve will lower its benchmark interest rate in September. The gold price has broken out from a rectangle pattern, indicating a continuation of the commodity's current uptrend. A bars pattern, which takes the trending price action between February and April and applies it to the rectangle’s breakout point, projects a price target of around $2,950. During retracements, the precious metal may find buying interest near key chart levels at $2,190, $2,090, and $2,000. Gold ( GOLD) prices climbed to set a new record high on Tuesday as investors move into the precious metal amid rising expectations that the Federal Reserve will lower its benchmark interest rate in September. Falling rates increase the non-yielding commodity’s demand by reducing its opportunity holding cost relative to interest bearing assets, such as fixed-income securities. Below, we zoom out on gold’s weekly chart to identify important technical levels to watch out for as the commodity continues to glitter. Breakout from Rectangle Pattern Gold has trended sharply higher after breaking out above multi-year resistance around $2,000 in November last year. More recently, the precious metal’s price has consolidated within a narrow rectangle since early April, a chart pattern that indicates a continuation of the current uptrend. This week’s breakout above the rectangle suggests the commodity’s next move higher may have resumed. It’s also worth pointing out that the relative strength index (RSI) has moved into overbought territory, which confirms strong price momentum, but also increases the probability for short-term pullbacks. Watch This Key Level if Bull Run Continues To gauge where the price of gold may be headed next, we can use a bars pattern that takes the trending price action between February and April and apply it to the rectangle’s breakout point. This technique projects a price target around $2,950, an area on the chart where bullion bulls may also be happy to book profits after two distinct trending legs higher. Monitor These Important Pullback Levels Amid periods of profit-taking, there are three important chart levels that may come into play during retracements. The first area to watch sits at $2,190, or around 12% below the current price, a location that may attract buying interest near a short pause in the commodity’s impulsive move higher between February and April. A breakdown below the level outlined above could see the price decline to around $2,090, where it would likely encounter support from a range of bars following gold’s late-November breakout. Finally, a deeper sell-off could lead to a retest of the psychological $2,000 level, where the precious metal would likely garner significant support from a horizontal line that links multiple prior record highs over the past four years. When monitoring these levels, it’s important to use other forms of technical analysis, such a candlestick patterns and indicators, to confirm a resumption of the longer-term uptrend in the commodity.
