Last week, the bulls updated historical highs and formed a new maximum extremum at 3499.58. Afterward, gold entered a downward correction towards the support of the daily short-term trend at 3346.45. The market has taken a pause. If bearish sentiment receives a new impulse for development, the next target will be the daily medium-term trend at 3227.79, and then the corrective decline may extend toward the support of the weekly short-term trend at 3164.81. Eliminating the daily golden cross at 3163.64 and consolidating below the weekly levels at 3164.81–3131.58 would open up new bearish prospects.

On the lower timeframes, the main advantage remains with the bears. The market is operating below the key levels, currently at 3334.45 (the daily central Pivot level) and 3356.56 (the weekly long-term trend). Consolidation above the trend line and its reversal could shift the current balance of forces in favor of further bullish recovery. Resistance levels will be important for the bulls if the market starts developing directed movements, and support levels will be important for the bears according to the classic pivot points. Pivot levels are updated daily, and new actual data will appear at the opening of trading.
