Technical analysis by Mihai_Iacob about Symbol PAXG on 7/18/2025

🔸 Still Rangebound, But Not for Long In yesterday’s analysis, I mentioned that two scenarios are in play for Gold: 1. Bullish above 3375 2. Bearish under 3320 Throughout the session, price action leaned toward the bearish side, and I aligned with that by opening a short position. It ended with a minor loss — just 50 pips, which is negligible considering I'm looking for a potential 1,000 pip move in the bigger picture. ________________________________________ 🔍 What's Next? As the title says, Gold still needs to resolve the current range before a clear directional move unfolds. The same key levels discussed yesterday remain valid and relevant. And since it’s Friday, today’s daily and weekly candle close will be critical in shaping expectations for next week. ________________________________________ 📈 Bullish Case: Close Above 3360 • A daily/weekly close around 3360 would bring strong pressure on the 3375 resistance. • That could lead to a bullish breakout from the ascending triangle pattern. • It would also leave behind a bullish weekly pin bar (last week was a bullish pin bar too). • This scenario would bring 3450 into focus — with 3500 and even a new ATH on the table in the coming weeks. ________________________________________ 📉 Bearish Case: Close Near 3300 • A close near 3300 would signal a failed rally attempt • That would expose 3250 support short term, and 3150 medium term. ________________________________________ 🧭 Final Thoughts At the moment, I’m flat and waiting for clearer confirmation later in the day. The next move big will be defined by the weekly close — it’s as simple as that. P.S.: It’s just a hunch , but I’m still leaning toward a break under 3300 as the next major move.

So, my gut feeling was wrong this time, at least I haven't short it:) The close of the day/ week remains the key
