Gold Futures Analysis Today – tradeCompass for GC Gold Futures

Current Market Snapshot for GC:

Gold Futures (GC) Price: $2,917.8 (+0.13% from Friday’s close)

Key Thresholds:

Bearish Below: $2,919.3 (VWAP, POC, and prior key levels)

Bullish Above: $2,925.2 (Friday’s POC)

Major Resistance Zone: $2,930 – $2,934.8

Key Downside Targets: $2,908.3, $2,896.6, $2,885, $2,833.3

Bearish Bias Below $2,919.3

Gold futures are currently trading in bearish territory according to today’s TradeCompass levels. The price is below critical support levels, including:

VWAP and POC of today (~$2,920)

Value Area Low of March 5th ($2,919.8)

VWAP at the close of March 6th ($2,919.9)

Value Area Low of March 4th ($2,914.6)

Value Area Low of Friday ($2,914.8)

With the price holding below these key levels, it strengthens the case for continued downside pressure.

Upside Resistance – Bulls Face a Hard Road

If gold futures rise above $2,925.2, a shift toward a bullish bias could occur, as this level represents Friday’s POC. However, significant resistance exists just ahead:

$2,930 – $2,932.2 (Value Area Highs of Friday, Thursday, and Wednesday)

$2,934.8 (Value Area High of Tuesday)

This tight resistance cluster suggests that even if bulls push above $2,925.2, upside potential may be limited. Profit-taking and supply could emerge quickly within this heavy resistance zone.

A clear breakout above $2,935 could open the door to $2,950, but the path is not easy.

Bearish Targets for Gold Futures

Given the bearish structure, traders favoring the short side may consider these downside levels for partial profit-taking:

$2,908.3 – 1st Lower Standard Deviation of VWAP (March 4th)

$2,896.6 – Below the psychological $2,900 level and near the 2nd Lower Standard Deviation of VWAP (March 4th)

$2,885 – 3rd Lower Standard Deviation of VWAP (March 4th)

$2,833.3 – A deep target near the Value Area High of February 3rd

A move toward $2,833.3 would represent a major decline of over 80 points, potentially unfolding over the week rather than intraday. This aligns with a potential retest of a lower channel boundary on the daily chart, reinforcing the larger bearish orientation.

Gold Futures (GC) Daily Chart – Technical Snapshot

Bearish Breakdown: Price has crossed below the red diagonal support, indicating weakness.

Downside Target: Potential move toward the bottom of the ascending channel.

Swing short target (this is only an opinion)

$2,833.3 (Major target, just above Feb 3 VAH)

Confirmation Needed: A sustained move below $2,900 strengthens the bearish case.

Overall Bias: Bearish, with a downside move likely if price remains below broken support.

Conclusion – tradeCompass Bias Remains Bearish

Gold futures are trading in bearish territory and struggling to reclaim key levels.

Bulls need a breakout above $2,925.2, but even then, resistance at $2,930 – $2,934.8 could stall upside attempts.

Bears have multiple targets to the downside, with $2,885 and potentially $2,833.3 as deeper objectives.

Larger technical picture aligns with bearish momentum, supporting a move toward lower support levels.
