Gold/XAUUSD ~ Blow-off Top Keeps On...Blowing? (2H)

GOLD chart mapping/analysis.

Gold's massive (algo-triggered) blow-off top killed the bullish momentum - pending further selling pressure if DXY/bond yields decide to rally into end of the year..

Trading scenarios into EOY:

• Selling pressure towards 50% Fib initial support zone.
  
• Bearish EOY capitulation target = Golden Pocket support zone.
  
• Expect any bullish reversal to be met with sellers, pending underlying relative strength in DXY/bond yields.
  
• 38.2% Fib / 200SMA confluence zone as potential target for short positioning, TBC.
  

Comment:
