Analysis
The fifth ascending wave of larger degree 5 is presumably developing on the weekly chart, with wave (5) of 5 forming as its part. The third wave of smaller degree 3 of (5) appears to continue forming on the daily chart, with wave iii of 3 developing within. Wave (v) of iii is developing on the H4 chart, within which a local corrective wave iv of (v) is formed and wave v of (v) is unfolding. If the presumption is correct, XAU/USD will continue to rise to the levels of 3800.00 – 4200.00. The level of 3189.35 is critical in this scenario, as a breakout will enable the pair to continue falling to the levels of 2574.07 – 2277.38.
This forecast is based on the Elliott Wave Theory. When developing trading strategies, it is essential to consider fundamental factors, as the market situation can change at any time.
