XAUUSD Elliott Wave: The Buying Zone That Triggered the Gold Rally

Hello, fellow traders. In this technical article, we’ll take a quick look at the Elliott Wave charts of Gold (XAUUSD), recently published in the members’ area of our website.

Recently, XAUUSD formed a 3-wave pullback after a rally, a textbook example of an Elliott Wave bullish sequence. Price completed a clear 3-wave move down from the peak and found support at the Equal Legs zone (buying area).In the following analysis, we explain the Elliott Wave pattern and the market outlook.

XAUUSD is forming a three-wave pullback from the recent highs. At the moment, the structure of the pullback looks incomplete, suggesting that more downside could be seen before the correction is completed. As our members know, the buying zone is identified by measuring the Equal Legs area using the Fibonacci extension tool. The ideal support area comes in at 4315.86–4261.32. From this zone, we expect buyers to step in and take control, pushing the price higher in at least a three-wave bounce, with the potential to extend toward new highs.

GOLD made decline as expected. The commodity found buyers right at the Equal Legs zone,  producing a solid reaction from that area. As a result, long positions taken from the Equal Legs zone are now risk-free. We expect XAUUSD to continue trading higher, with a break above the 3 red peak  (4450) needed to confirm that the next leg up is in progress.
