Hello Traders & Investors! 👋

Sometimes, the most interesting moves begin when the chart starts looking quiet and boring.

Gold has spent months moving lower after making its all-time high, correcting nearly 30% from the top. What initially looked like a normal correction has now developed into a well-defined downtrend, with price repeatedly respecting the descending resistance line.

But now, something interesting is happening.

Gold has reached a major horizontal support zone and has been consolidating around this area for several weeks. At the same time, the long-term downtrend resistance is gradually coming closer to price.

That puts Gold in a classic compression zone support underneath, resistance above, and price getting squeezed between the two.

What I'm Watching:
The key level on the downside is the major support zone around 4,000. As long as this support continues to hold, I would not be surprised to see another attempt toward the downtrend resistance. The real trade opportunity, however, comes with confirmation.

My Trade Idea:
For now, I'm not interested in guessing the direction inside this range. I would rather let Gold show its hand.

Bullish Setup:
A decisive breakout above the downtrend resistance could signal the end of the corrective structure, with an initial target around 4,500, which marks a strong lower-high resistance zone.

Bearish Setup:
A decisive breakdown below the major support could extend the correction toward the previous resistance-turned-support zone below, around 3,450.

The bigger the compression, the more interesting the eventual breakout can become.

Gold may be quietly preparing for its next big move. The question is — which side will break first? 👀

Thanks for reading.
Regards, Amit.
