On the daily chart, the shape of the consolidation from $1,684.37 looks more and more like a wedge, which may turn out to be a bearish continuation pattern.
The lower trendline of the wedge points at a target of $1,739. From a longer-term perspective, the downtrend from $2,072.50 has only been half-finished. It may eventually extend far below $1,684.
Based on this interpretation, the war between China and Taiwan is very unlikely to break out as gold prices generally soar before a declaration of a war. Geopolitical risks can boost demand for safe-haven assets such as gold.
