OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Update to my previous idea - gold has been crawling up slowly currently looks like its correcting here for another leg up. However, with it being Friday I wouldn't be surprised if we see a sudden move in either direction. Any dip towards the 1920 - 1930 area could be a good opportunity for some buys - I also like to use the xau/xag correlation to better time my entries.

Silver has closed and has been trading above the 25.0 handle for a few days now - any dip towards this area could suggest a decent dip buying opportunity on gold. If however we close below 25.0 firmly on silver then we can expect more downside on gold and metals.

I still expect some upside but overall bearish in the medium-long term - I have replicated the movement from the sell off in June/July 2021 and I wonder how far gold can correct before another drop; I wouldn't be surprised to see some continued upside as we go into the US session to end the week and it will be interesting to see how this weekly candle closes - we could see some retracement of the sudden moves seen on Monday/Tuesday. It looks like a lot of gold bears took some profits/ exited some shorts around the 1900 handle and I don't see any substantial more sellers entering the market on a Friday (without some sort of news catalyst).

It would be smart to take an early weekend and see what happens!
