Gold reached a 12-month high and is within striking distance of its all-time high.
Its bullish trend has accelerated on the hourly chart and is now consolidating within a potential pennant pattern, which projects a target around 2065. Incidentally this is just beneath the all-time, which is a likely area to witness a pullback due to profit taking.
Volumes were rising during the latest rally into the highs and reduced whilst prices consolidate to show strength in the move. Although a slight negative is that the OBV (on balance volume) has not broken to a new high, along with prices.
And given the rally stalled around the weekly and monthly R2 pivots, we are equally on guard for a pullback than we are for the rally to extend.
- The pennant requires a direct breakout to remain valid, although the reward to risk is undesirable.
- If we see a break above 2050, bulls can seek continuation patterns on lower timeframes towards the 2065 target.
- Otherwise, bulls can seek bullish setups around the 2030-2032 support zone or bullish trendline which could provide an improved reward to risk ratio.

Ouch! Hawkish comments from Fed's Waller (inflation is too high and we've not done enough to fight it) coupled with 1-year consumer inflation spiking 0.8 pct points sent the US dollar broadly higher, and saw gold print a bearish engulfing day with a high around 1950.
Upwards and onwards!
