The gold market has seen a lot of buying over the last few sessions, but at this point in time, the market continues to see a lot of gravity-based issues appear. After all, no market can go straight up in the air forever.
The gold market initially rallied during the trading session on Tuesday, only to turn around and show signs of hesitation. That doesn’t necessarily mean that gold is going to fall apart, but quite frankly, gold has gotten far too overextended, and a pullback would make quite a bit of sense. Quite frankly, I think that just offers opportunity down the road. The $3,000 level should now be the floor in the market, and I think you will have to look at it as such.
I have no interest in shorting gold under any circumstance, because quite frankly, the geopolitical risks and the concerns when it comes to tariff wars, recessions, central banks cutting rates, they all line up to push gold higher over the longer term, but markets can only go in one direction for so long. And at this point, I’m still keeping an eye on the idea of the bullish flag that had been so prevalent in this market, which suggests that gold should eventually go looking to the $3,300 level, based on the “measured move.”
That doesn’t mean that it will be easy, but it doesn’t also mean that we are going to get there overnight. But given enough time, I do think we will go there. There’s nothing on this chart that suggests that we can’t get there. But after three massive positive days, Tuesday looks like there’s a little bit of hesitation. And again, that makes perfect sense. Think of it as offering value.
