Gold Futures at a Critical Crossroads: VC PMI, Cycle Dates, Square of 9 Alignment
futures are trading at 4,501.8, slightly below the Daily VC PMI Mean of 4,528 and the Weekly VC PMI Mean of 4,539, indicating a short-term bearish bias within a larger neutral consolidation pattern. The market recently reached a high of 4,627.1, approaching the Daily Sell 2 level at 4,606, where the VC PMI identified an extreme overbought condition and generated a high-probability mean reversion signal.
According to the Variable Changing Price Momentum Indicator (VC PMI), the key Daily support levels are Buy 1 at 4,484 and Buy 2 at 4,449. Weekly support is found at Buy 1 at 4,450 and Buy 2 at 4,308. As long as gold remains above the Weekly Buy 1 level, the broader trend remains constructive despite the current corrective phase.
On the upside, resistance remains at Daily Sell 1 (4,563) and Daily Sell 2 (4,606). Weekly resistance is located at 4,681 (Sell 1) and 4,770 (Sell 2). A close above Weekly Sell 1 would signal renewed bullish momentum and open the door for an acceleration toward the Weekly Sell 2 target.
