Gold prices experienced significant gains during the previous trading session, in line with the anticipated positive trend, nearing the historical peak recorded around $2144 per ounce and reaching a high of $2141.
Analyzing the technical aspects today, particularly on the 4-hour timeframe, we observe that the resistance level at $2144, representing the historical peak, effectively halted further upward movement, establishing a formidable barrier. Additionally, the Stochastic indicator is signaling a loss of bullish momentum, indicating a potential shift in sentiment.
With prices currently trading below the crucial resistance of $2144, there is a possibility of a bearish trend emerging in the current session. Initial targets for this downtrend include a retest of $2110 and $2105, with further potential declines to $2095 and $2085 before any subsequent upward attempts.
It is essential to note that a breakthrough above the historical peak at $2144 would likely propel gold prices to achieve additional gains, targeting levels around $2156 and $2165.
