Gold quotations peaked this year on 8 March. Two weeks after Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the gold price started to fall quite intensively. Last year, the price of $1680/oz failed to surrender on a number of occasions to supply and proved to be a two-year strong support. Also this year, a bullish engulfing appeared at this level in mid-July and the price rebounded by more than $120/oz. However, the final weeks of September proved less kind to gold and the price fell back to 2020 levels, setting a minimum for the year at $1615/oz.

Bullish engulfing patterns in gold

GOLD D1 – bullish engulfing formations usually signal the start of an upward correction.

In October, the price of gold fell steadily and last Friday it was again at the minimums of this year. However, by the end of the day, price went north and the week closed at $1658/oz.
Friday’s candle formed a bullish engulfing formation, just as it did at the end of September. The September formation appeared to be the start of an upward correction.

Looking deeper into gold’s trading history, we see that a bullish engulfing formation also appeared in July this year, which also initiated an upward correction.

Each time a bullish engulfing is formed, the MACD oscillator enters an upward phase (green) confirming a change in sentiment on gold.
If history were to repeat itself, conditions for an upward correction have also currently emerged.

Double bottom – is this a signal to buy?

GOLD October chart 2022
Gold H4 – the minima of September and October have formed a ‘double bottom’ which may confirm the start of an upward correction.

A double bottom formation has appeared on the H4 chart. However, in order for it to be considered complete, the price of gold would have to reach the potential neckline located at 1730. On the way, the price may encounter the support/resistance level at 1680. Overcoming it will open the way to further increases.
