Lingrid | GOLD Weekly Market Analysis: Consolidation Continues

7 388
GOLD has developed a double top pattern, marking a significant shift from the previous consolidation phase. The recent rejection from the $3,400 resistance zone has created a bearish reversal structure that's now testing critical support levels. 4H chart reveals a clear double top formation with peaks around $3,400, followed by a decisive breakout below the flag pattern that previously suggested continuation. This technical deterioration represents a major shift in market structure, with the upward trendline now serving as resistance rather than support.

Current price action at $3,309 sits dangerously close to the key support level at $3,245. A break below this zone would likely trigger accelerated selling toward the major support area around $3,120, representing the bottom of the recent consolidation range. Previous weekly highs (PWHs) around $3,354 now serve as immediate resistance, with the double top peaks at $3,400 representing the more significant barrier. Any recovery attempts will likely face selling pressure at these levels, creating a challenging environment for bullish momentum.

The upward trendline breach is another bearish development, as this line had provided support throughout the entire rally from the cycle lows. Its violation suggests a potential shift in the primary trend structure, though the major support at $3,120 remains intact. However, the major support confluence around $3,120 could provide a lifeline for bulls. This level represents multiple technical factors including previous significant lows and the bottom of the recent consolidation range, making it a natural area for buying interest to emerge.

The current setup suggests gold is entering a more challenging phase where rallies may be sold rather than bought. The shift from continuation to reversal patterns indicates a potential change in market sentiment that could persist until major support levels are tested and either hold or break decisively.
