GOLD

On Friday, the weekly result was marked by an uncertainty candle with an extended upper shadow. It is possible that the bears found a good spot for a corrective decline, as the bulls failed to reach 2800.00 and closed October below the psychological level of 2750.00, which had been actively tested throughout the second half of the month. It should be noted that the bears secured support from the daily short-term trend (2748.92), which is now defending their interests. If a decline develops, the primary task for the bears at this section of the chart will be to test, break, and eliminate the daily golden cross, which currently can be marked at levels 2718.28 – 2696.24 – 2674.21.

For the bulls, the nearest prospects maintain their relevance and position. New bullish opportunities may arise only after the 2750.00 level is broken and the resistance zone 2800.00 is tested and overcome.

H4 – H1

On the lower time frames, the pair tested the weekly long-term trend (2756.36) from below on Friday, with the bears managing to defend their advantage and remain below the trend. Soon, it will be necessary for the bears to break through the H4 cloud, exit, and secure a position in the bearish zone relative to the cloud. If the cloud break is realized, additional downward targets on the lower timeframes, including the supports of the classic Pivot levels, will be added with the newly formed target for the H4 cloud breakout. If the bulls use the cloud's support and push off from it, simultaneously gaining the weekly long-term trend, then the intraday market focus will shift to the resistances of the classic Pivot levels. On the higher time frames, bulls will again aim to conquer 2750.00 and reach 2800.00.

Updated classic Pivot level values for guidance will appear when trading opens at the start of the new workweek.
