GOLD - Daily Timeframe Overview - Buy Opportunities

Long
OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Up until recent times, for Gold XAUUSD we were considering two possible scenarios: the completion of a big ABC primary pattern (in yellow) which took the big movement from the yearly 1047 low as the first impulse to the upside and the retracement to the 1120 area as it's A leg. The B leg would have then been a complex B wave with consequent new highs shaping up in the correction. This analysis is still possible in theory, but the problem with it is that the latest structure price has been forming within that complex B wave indicate that the pattern is not acting like a correction anymore as there are no more clear indications of downward impulses to signal the beginning of the "C" leg: price just keeps correcting up there at the top, on the daily, which to us means that it is just building momentum for more upside. Of course, we could be wrong, but what matters to us at this moment is that now we are precisely at a turning point: either the price breaks the trend to the upside (pink), or it breaks the trend to the downside (blue), which to us seems more and more unlikely as time passes. Whichever way, we can trade it with profit - we just need to be ready for the movement. As it stands of today, we have buy stop orders in place above the upper trend: if the price breaks, our orders will be filled and we will keep our long positions until the previous high around the 1367 area first, and then we will hold our positions if the structure tells us it is convenient to do so.
