Gold - Sell around 3362, target 3340-3320Gold Market Analysis:
Yesterday's daily close was a large negative candlestick, which wiped out five days of gains. We sold at 3369 yesterday to take profits. Yesterday's close was a clear reversal signal, and the analysis chart also shows a breakout signal. The large negative candlestick pattern on the daily chart reaffirms the sell position. Today's strategy is undoubtedly bearish, and we should continue to sell on rebounds. Today's CPI data is out, and I believe we can still maintain our selling strategy before the data is released. Let's look at the daily chart. The current selling is only short-term, and the long-term direction remains uncertain. The daily chart is still in a wave structure and is still in the process of correction. Its overall direction is unclear. We are just followers, and we need to find its rhythm and follow it, either buying or selling. The 1-hour profit-taking chart shows that 3366 is the first minor resistance level in the Asian session today, and 3362 is the hourly high. We will continue to sell based on this level. The 1-hour high of yesterday's rebound was around 3380, which has become a new strong resistance level. If this level is not broken, it is basically a sell-off. On the contrary, if it unexpectedly breaks, it is necessary to adjust the strategy and rhythm. Gold's recent fundamentals and data have a significant impact on the market, and the buying and selling cycles are very fast.
Support 333 and 3341, resistance 3366 and 3380, and the watershed between strength and weakness is 3362.
Fundamental Analysis:
Today, focus on the most important data this week, CPI. This economic data has recently moved significantly, even surpassing the non-farm payroll data.
Trading Recommendation:
Gold - Sell around 3362, target 3340-3320

9.2 Analysis of short-term gold operationsGold is long near 2490.
In the 4-hour period, there is a pressure level of 2530 on the top and a first-line support of 2492 on the bottom (it cannot fall after being touched multiple times). It is not a unilateral trend at present, so it still takes a long time to fall back. The middle track of the Bollinger Bands runs horizontally, and the price of gold is supported by the lower track of the Bollinger Bands. You can go long if it is close to 2492.
There is non-agricultural data this week. Gold will definitely break this week. The shock pattern between 2492-2530 will not last long. If you grasp the signal well, the big market is about to emerge.
Trading strategy: Gold is long near 2492, stop loss is 2482, target is 2510

Gold: Latest Trading Strategies
Fundamentals of Gold:
In early Asian trading on Monday, March 13th, spot gold maintained its strong upward trend, with the price hovering around $1881 per ounce, up nearly $15 on the day. Earlier, the price of gold had risen more than $20, as the Fed's "rescue" action sparked an increase in market risk appetite, which dealt a major blow to the dollar and stimulated a surge in gold prices. After Silicon Valley Bank's bankruptcy, the Fed announced a new emergency loan program on Sunday to strengthen the banking system's capacity, which will help ensure that banks have the ability to meet the needs of all depositors and prevent other banks from experiencing similar runs.
Currently, the probability of the Fed raising interest rates by 50 basis points in March has plummeted from 75% to less than 10%, and the probability of a 50 basis point hike in May has been wiped out. There are increasing calls in the market for the Fed to consider pausing or even cutting interest rates. The Fed and the U.S. Treasury's emergency measures to support banks have been well-received by the market, improving risk appetite and dealing a blow to the dollar. Market anxiety is also running high ahead of this week's U.S. consumer price index (CPI) report, especially after Fed Chairman Powell recently emphasized that the pace of tightening will be based on "overall data".
Technical Analysis of Gold:
After the release of the non-farm payroll report last Friday night, the market's expectations for a 50 basis point rate hike by the Fed in March cooled somewhat, and the U.S. dollar index continued to dive, nearly breaking through the 104 level. Driven by the risk aversion sparked by Silicon Valley Bank's collapse and the non-farm payroll report, spot gold broke through three key levels of $1850, $1860, and $1870, before giving back some gains to close up 1.97% at $1867.03 per ounce, marking a new closing high since February 10th and achieving two consecutive weeks of gains. The highest point of gold was around 1869, with the closing price settling around 1867 in the following period.
On the 4-hour chart, a bottom-up rebound wave broke through the secondary high of 1858 to form a reversal, while the double bottom rebound of 1805 and 1810 formed a 4-hour double bottom rebound, with the neckline of 1858 forming a breakthrough. The top-bottom reversal this week has changed from resistance to support at 1858, which is the reversal point of the neckline and also the support of the bulls. The 4-hour chart also shows a bottom-up rebound, which is also an upward wave, with a wave of 1810 forming a surge in volume, and after a retracement, it is gathering strength again.
In the beginning of the week, pay attention to the second rebound support point. In the short term, there may be some back and forth, as this is the first upward reversal and the moving average indicator has not yet turned upward, so short-term consolidation is needed. On the 1-hour chart, gold is oscillating upwards based on the middle rail. Last Friday, it broke through 1858 and retraced to 1854 before stabilizing, which is also the strong and weak critical point of this week, and strength will not break below 1854. In the Asian session, there is a gap in prices, so it is not urgent to chase the high, wait for the gap to be filled before participating in a low long position.
