Gold shooting star - Bearish Potential After Stop Runs
Gold prices came into the week clinging to a range that had held for the past couple of weeks.
Before that, price action had pushed below a bear flag formation, eventually setting a near-term low around 1763 with range support holding around the 1770 level.
FOMC brought a quick push of USD strength, which helped Gold to temporarily breach that support. This likely triggered a plethora of stops that were set just below range support, after which price was ready to jump from a fresh low at 1753 and back up to 1792, which brought breakout potential into 1800 and 1815.

Today saw the bullish breakout run all the way up to 1814 but price was unable to test through 1815, again, likely taking out a plethora of stops that were lodged above range resistance.
A reversal began to show thereafter, and today's daily bar closed with a shooting star formation, often followed with the aim of bearish reversals. That formation also showed at a key spot, inside of the 1815 level and around the underside of a bear flag formation.
This can make the short side of the matter attractive, especially for those looking for a continuation of USD-strength. And given the fundamental outlay from the FOMC this week, where the bank highlighted the possibility of as many as 5-6 rate hikes over the next two years, there could be ample motive for USD-strength to continue.
