#大户持仓动态 12.18 Gold Price Trend | Bulls Stand Firm at Key Support, Tonight's Data Could Move the Market

The direction of gold today mainly depends on a few major data releases tonight.

US inflation and retail sales data will be released at 21:30 Beijing time. These two data points have a significant impact on the Federal Reserve's future policy decisions. If the data come in weaker than expected, gold may take this opportunity to surge again, testing the resistance zone of 4350-4380. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan will also announce its interest rate decision on December 19, and the market is waiting to see if they will raise rates. If a rate hike occurs, coupled with the yen's appreciation, precious metals could face short-term pressure. Therefore, whether gold can break through the resistance tonight is crucial—if it fails, a correction is likely tomorrow.

From the candlestick perspective, gold has been pressed within the 4350-4380 range for several days and is now at a critical point to choose a direction. The key support at 4260 remains intact. Currently, the price stays above 4320, indicating that buyers are still holding their ground. On the 1-hour chart, the price rebounded from 4271.52 and has been rising, with the trend line unbroken. A pullback is just a normal technical correction.

Trading Strategy:
Consider going long in the 4332-4322 range,
First target at 4340-4350,
If broken, watch for positions at 4355, 4365, and 4380.

That wave of data tonight will really cause a explosion; gold will either take off or crash, with no middle ground. If the data is weak, gold might really surge, it all depends on how the Fed plays it. If the 4320 level can't hold, it will crash tomorrow; this time feels a bit dangerous. If the Bank of Japan raises interest rates, precious metals will really suffer; it doesn't look good. The bulls are holding tightly to the 4260 line; if it breaks, we'll need to reconsider. Now is not the right time to enter. It's both a technical correction and a pressure zone; in any case, it depends on tonight's data and how the market reacts, too passive. The movement of gold this time is like a casino; entering the market before the data is just giving away money.

It's another data night. Can gold break 4350 this time? Feels uncertain... --- The Bank of Japan raising interest rates directly kills gold. When can I finally buy the dip easily? --- Holding firm at 4320 is a good signal, but I still want to wait for the data before making a move. --- Stop-loss set, planning to gamble on a bullish move tonight—either huge profit or big loss. --- Why does it always feel like the target in each analysis is unreachable? --- The pressure on precious metals this round is really strong; aiming for 4380 is just a luxury.

The real highlight is the data at 21:30 tonight. To gamble or not to gamble, that's the question.
