Gold buy entry point, 7-8 hours trade MAX.

Here we have our 3 Moving Averages inside the candlestick, with the Ichimoku convergence line crossing the base line, all while RSI goes from below 50 to over 50. This shows a bullish short-term trend since we are on the hourly chart. Personally opened a buy position at 1738.7, trade duration: 7-8 hours max.

TP1: 1744
TP2: 1749.8
SL: 1734.85
