Technical overview
Gold price continues developing a corrective structure. The yellow metal in its weekly chart moves in a potential wave (4) in progress. In the near-term, we expect a triangular correction or a complex corrective sequence.
Long-term, we foresee a potential correction that could extend its decline to the area between1,445 and $1,435 per ounce.
The Gold in its 8-hour chart shows a first corrective sequence labeled as ((a)), ((b)), and ((c)) in red degree. The first bearish leg started on September 04, when the price found sellers at $1,557.03 per ounce.
Once the price action found a short-term bottom at $1,455.50 per ounce, the golden metal began a bounce. The current move should be developed in three waves. Until now, the upper degree Elliott wave structure could be a flat pattern.
In consequence, a short position could be active if Gold breaks down and closes below the last swing ((b)) in red from the wave B labeled in black at $1,487.80.
The potential profit target is between $1,448 and $1,437 per ounce. The invalidation level could be above the end of wave B labeled in black degree.
