[6/9] "In quieter markets, the rationale is questioned."
How to view GOLD after the sharp drop — I would have previously rushed to counter-trade in such a scene.
Today, not that way; I will calmly organize the thoughts.
The bearish view remains unchanged. However, today I judge that there is not a suitable entry opportunity. I will explain the reasons in order.
Today's Market Situation
The current price is $4,331.70.
Gold fell sharply in the latter half of last week, plunging toward around $4,268. After that, on the start of this week, it shows a slight rebound and is hovering in the $4,330s.
The 1-hour EMA20 (short-term moving average) is $4,330.111, EMA75 is $4,380.761, and EMA200 (long-term moving average) is $4,440.736, showing a clean decline from short-term to long-term. The RSI (relative strength index, indicating overbought/oversold) is currently 48.25, just below 50.
In short, the trend remains downward, but it is in a rebound phase after the sharp drop, and the sense of direction is somewhat unstable.

My bias remains strongly toward selling.
If it retraces toward around $4,380 (1H EMA75), I see that as a notable area for selling on the rebound. However, as of today, I cannot identify a line where stop-loss could be set reasonably, so I will refrain from entering.
On the other hand, if it clearly breaks below $4,268 (the previous day's low), I would be conscious of a continuation of the decline as a signal. However, even in that scenario, profit-taking evidence is currently limited, so I think we should be cautious.
The RSI on the 4H chart has fallen to 37.87, near oversold levels. Downward pressure on higher timeframes continues, but there is a risk of a short-term rebound that should be kept in mind.
Today's Reference Lines
There is no point satisfying RR1.5 today, so I am skipping entry. The following are for reference.
