Trump says Iran war "close to over" amid hopes for more negotiations
Gold futures are currently trading at 4859, holding above the VC PMI Daily Mean (~4829), confirming a transition into bullish price momentum. This shift reflects a successful reversion from lower levels near the Buy 2 Daily (4727) and Buy 1 Daily (4789) zones, where the probability of mean reversion ranged between 90%–95%. The market’s ability to reclaim the mean and sustain trade above it signals that buyers are in control and that the structure is attempting to expand toward higher resistance levels.
The next upside targets are clearly defined by the VC PMI framework:
- Sell 1 Daily: 4891
- Sell 2 Daily: 4931
These levels represent extreme deviations above the mean, where statistically there is a 90% probability (Sell 1) and 95% probability (Sell 2) of reversion back toward equilibrium unless a breakout occurs. A sustained close above 4931 would indicate a fractal shift, converting resistance into support and initiating a higher price regime targeting the weekly Sell 1 (4908) and beyond.
From a cycle perspective, the market appears to be moving out of a corrective phase that bottomed near 4626, aligning with a time window that suggests accumulation and reversal. The current upward trajectory implies that we are entering a momentum cycle into mid-to-late April, where volatility expansion is expected. Key cycle dates to monitor include:
- April 15–17: Momentum confirmation window
- April 22–24: Potential exhaustion or breakout acceleration
Using the Square of 9 geometry, the alignment of price near 4860–4900 corresponds to harmonic resistance levels, reinforcing the significance of the Sell 1 and Sell 2 zones. A breakout above these levels would project the next geometric targets toward 5000+, while failure at these levels would trigger a reversion back to the mean near 4823.
Volume and momentum indicators (MACD stabilizing near neutral) suggest that the market is building energy rather than topping, supporting the thesis of a continuation attempt rather than immediate reversal.
