As I've outlined in both written and video analyses on XAUUSD, I’m anticipating a substantial pullback in gold prices. Let’s look at this objectively: just as trees don't grow to the sky, neither does Gold. With a remarkable 2,000-pip rally over the last 20 days, the likelihood of a meaningful retracement is increasing. Each new high reached only makes a sharper pullback more probable.
That said, I’m not rigidly fixed on one outlook. In yesterday’s analysis, I noted that a new all-time high seemed highly probable. Acting on this, I opened a small long position after observing a buildup consolidation just under the previous ATH, which I closed at 2770.
The key question now isn’t whether gold will start pulling back, but rather where that pullback will begin.
On the 1-hour chart, since the low near 2600 on October 10th, Gold has been trading within an ascending channel. Each time the price touches the upper boundary of this channel, it has reversed back down. Based on this behavior, I anticipate a similar reaction if gold approaches or slightly exceeds 2800, and I plan to fade any move above that level.
In conclusion, for those looking at potential 1,000-pip opportunities, I believe the short side currently holds more promise. In the short term, a retracement toward 2700 seems more realistic than an extension to 2900.
P.S: Looking at previous times when Gold has made ATHs, the reversal from the top has been more than 1000 pips.
