The most difficult part of trading is not predicting the market trend, but staying true to your original intention, avoiding being carried away by emotions during ups and downs, in order to stay steady and go far.

From a technical perspective, the 1-hour Bollinger Bands indicator shows that the gold price is currently operating near the upper band, with the Bollinger upper band resistance in the 4755-4760 range, and the middle band support at around 4729. In the short term, the price is trading above the middle band, with bullish momentum somewhat released, but there is still selling pressure near the upper band. The previous high of around 4795 remains a strong resistance level, with key support below at the Bollinger middle band at 4729 and the previous rebound platform at 4700-4705. The current price is in a rebound and correction phase, not yet completely reversing the previous downtrend. In terms of operation, avoid rigidly sticking to bullish or bearish directions, but instead use the effective break of key levels as signals to flexibly switch strategies.

For morning operations, first focus on the resistance opportunity in the 4760-4765 range. If the rebound does not break this range, plan to set up a short-selling strategy, with a stop-loss above 4775, targeting the 4730-4720 range. If the price breaks further downward, it can go down to around 4700. If the price effectively breaks upward through the 4765-4770 range, do not insist on a long position; patiently wait for the price to pull back and stabilize around 4760-4755, then switch to a short-term long strategy, targeting near the previous high of 4785-4795. If the price pulls back and stabilizes around 4720-4715, a light long position can also be attempted, with a stop-loss below 4700, targeting around 4750. Overall, use key levels as anchors, avoid pre-judging the direction, and adjust according to breakouts, controlling position size to avoid chasing highs or selling lows.
