FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of Gold for July 30, 2021

Gold finally seems ready to re-activate the long-term uptrend for a rally towards the long-term target at 2,704. A break above resistance at 1,834 will be a strong indication, that wave 4 finally has completed and the final impulsive rally in wave 5 is ready to take over for the expected rally towards 2,704.

In the commodity complex wave 5 often becomes an extended wave and at 2,704 wave 5 will be equal in length to the distance traveled from the start of wave 1 through wave 3 added to the bottom of wave 4. It's possible that wave 5 extends beyond the equality target, but for now that seems to be a good guideline for the expected rally in wave 5.

Trading recommendation:

Buy gold upon a break above 1,834 and place you stop just below 1,789
