Ichimoku cloud indicator analysis on Gold for January 3, 2022.

Gold price has started the new year under pressure. Price is moving lower towards $1,820 after making a high at $1,831 last week. Price is moving below the tenkan-sen (red line indicator) providing the first sign of weakness.

Staying below $1,822,60 will bring more weakness to Gold. Price is vulnerable to testing the kijun-sen (yellow line indicator) at $1,810. As long as price is above the 4 hour Kumo, trend will remain bullish. Bulls do not want to see price break below $1,783 where we find the lower cloud boundary. A back test at the top of the cloud is not something bulls should fear. Instead, a test on top of the cloud combined with a bounce in price, is considered a bullish signal.
