Technical Overview

Gold Futures Technical Analysis OneUp Trader funded trader program

Trend & Structure

Gold remains in a long-term uptrend, holding above its ascending trendline from the March lows. The recent push to new all-time highs was met with selling pressure, pulling price back toward the 50MA and trendline support.

So far, the pullback is shallow, suggesting more of a stall/consolidation than a reversal.

Price is currently sandwiched between strong support (trendline/50MA) and the ATH ceiling — a classic compression setup before a potential breakout or breakdown.

Momentum & Indicators

  • RSI at 52.18 is neutral, indicating that the recent selling relieved overbought conditions without turning bearish.
  • If momentum picks up from here, there’s room for RSI to move toward overbought territory again without signaling exhaustion.

Trade Setups

Bullish Breakout Play

  • Entry: Close above 3,450 with volume pickup
  • Target 1: 3,500
  • Target 2: 3,560
  • Stop: Below 3,420

Bearish Breakdown Play

  • Entry: Close below 3,345
  • Target 1: 3,300
  • Target 2: 3,250
  • Stop: Above 3,370

Final Takeaway

Gold’s pullback looks more like a pause in the uptrend than a reversal. As long as 3,345 holds, the path of least resistance remains higher — but failure here could shift the narrative toward a deeper correction.
