FX_IDC:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
INTRODUCTION - This is 02/08/24, 15-min bar, ultra-detailed, 16-hour trend map for spot gold price. This chart is expected to be useful until expiration at dotted line (16 hours). If price disagrees meaningfully then recasting is necessary after 8 hours. If price agrees, then reconfirmation is needed after every 16 hours.

DETAILS - I've given up waiting for the huge rally that's never going to come. So I am only doing 16-hour charts. Today's failure to move into 2040s means "sideways to up" until 03/20 FOMC, or roughly 40 days. This also means:

1) trend continuation (w/ exception of overnight surprise)
2) retest triangle support again
3) support to hold, that's all

WARNING - This material is for experienced and responsible traders only. If you have any question in your mind whether you are experienced or responsible, then THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. As precaution, the first rule of trading is DO NOT lose money. As reminder, the second rule of trading is do not forget the first rule. As prerequisite, please familiarize with this process first before applying to your strategy. As usual, this MUST be used with continuing notes posted throughout duration of this forecast to supplement but NOT REPLACE your trading discipline and risk management. If the limits of the update feature or update frequency do not satisfy your risk profile, then THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. As always, when price action disagrees with forecast meaningfully to you, IMMEDIATELY SCRAP THE FORECAST and trade defensively. If it is not obvious to you what meaningfully means in this context, then I repeat for a third and final time, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU
