Gold - Area of Interest Follow Up Analysis

Gold is now in the Key S/R zone. It blipped down today and then recovered and has continued up. Overall, on the day chart it is still considered a down trend, it is also approaching 1200 which not only coincides with the 38.2% fib extremely closely, but is also "at the number". Human behavior likes to buy/sell at round figures.

If there is a clear signal, I will initiate a short order, but I am also very aware that it could test the secondary line before retracing. Again, this is a pivotal point, do be careful as it can go either way. Nothing is certain. I am cautiously biased toward the down side. Good luck traders!

Trade active:

Short @ 1204.60
S/L @ 1207.76 (-358 pips)
1st Target @ 1192 (+1153 pips)

Trade closed manually:

Gold has moved back to 1200 and is not showing any big moves, I am assuming market is awaiting Yellen speech today. Being cautious, I am out at +225 pips and will not risk my capital until after the speech. Safe trading everyone.

Comment:

At around 10am Pacific time, shortly after I exited, GOLD did continued its way down and is now close to my anticipated exit at 1190. My takeaway from this is that on quieter days like this, increase the stop a tad bit more for some room to move and give it a lot more time for it to fulfill itself.

Those of you who hung in there, I hope you managed to get some pips. Till the next setup!

Comment:

Ps: It turned very nicely near 1200 and the 38.2% fib confluence.
