XAU/USD (Gold/US Dollar) trading symbol, depicted in a technical analysis chart scenario. In this scenario, the price movement of XAU/USD is initially forming a pattern resembling a 'flag', typically indicating a brief consolidation before continuing in the direction of the prevailing trend. This is followed by a downward movement to reach the target set by a 'head and shoulders' pattern, a common chart pattern used in technical analysis that often predicts a bearish reversal.
In a graphic representation:
Flag Formation: The price of XAU/USD begins to consolidate, forming a flag-like pattern. This usually appears as a small rectangle or parallelogram that slopes against the prevailing trend direction. The flag is generally seen as a continuation pattern, suggesting that the initial downward trend will resume once the pattern is completed.
Target Achievement: After the completion of the flag pattern, the price aims to reach a specific target. This target is often determined by the height of the preceding trend (before the flag formation) projected downward from the point of breakout.
Head and Shoulders Formation: Subsequently, a 'head and shoulders' pattern starts forming. This pattern is characterized by a peak (shoulder), followed by a higher peak (head), and then another lower peak (shoulder). The 'head and shoulders' pattern is often interpreted as a reversal pattern, indicating that the downward trend might come to an end.
Move Downwards to Achieve the Head and Shoulders Target: The completion of the right shoulder marks the start of a new downward movement. The target of this movement is typically identified by the height of the head from the neckline (a support level formed by the lows of each peak) projected downwards.
