Gold, weekly chart
From a weekly perspective, the price is testing territory towards a key horizontal resistance in the 1,830s that guards the trendline resistance slightly higher up. 1,850 will be a line in the sand in this regard for the forthcoming week.
Gold daily chart
Gold's daily chart is showing a W-formation. A W-formation is a reversion pattern. Considering the imbalance left by the daily rally between 1,770 and 1,818, a correction would be expected for the initial days of the week, targeting the neckline of the W-formation. The neckline meets a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level near 1,795.
Gold, 4-hour chart
The 4-hour chart shows that there is a 61.8% Fibonacci confluence with the prior resistance that could well come under pressure for the week ahead should there be a significant correction. This comes in near 1,797. It is also noteworthy that the 4-hour W-formation drew in the bears to 1,785 on Friday before the spike to the fresh highs.
