 | Sep 21, 2018 09:17AM ET

Descending trend for the pair XAU/USD continues. Estimated pivot point is at a level of 1235.28.

Main scenario: short positions will be relevant from corrections below the level of 1235.28 with a target of 1140.70 – 1120.00.

Alternative scenario: breakout and consolidation above the level of 1235.28 will allow the pair to continue rising to a level of 1252.93 and higher.

Analysis: A downward impetus 1 is supposed to continue developing within the wave (C) of senior level on the daily time frame. A downward impetus is developing as the third wave iii of 1 on the 4-hour timeframe with the wave (iii) of iii formed and the local correction (iv) of iii nearing completion inside. Supposedly, the wave c of (iv) is developing on the 1H time frame. If the presumption is correct, the pair will resume falling to the levels of 1140.70 – 1120.00 once the correction has finished. The level 1235.28 is critical in this scenario.
