Inflation heats up, central banks turn hawkish! Is the wind changing for gold prices?

Shandong Gold reported at HKD 32.18 today, up 3.94%, with a turnover of HKD 342 million. The five-day volatility reached 14.3%, indicating significant short-term fluctuations. From a technical perspective, the share price is currently trading between several key moving averages: it has stabilized above the 10-day moving average at HKD 29.61, but the 30-day moving average at HKD 31.71 and the 60-day moving average at HKD 35.31 are still exerting overhead pressure. This reflects that the stock price is attempting to recover from a low level but has not yet returned to a mid-term bullish range.
In terms of support levels, the first support lies at HKD 28.7, and the second support at HKD 27.4; for resistance levels, the first resistance is at HKD 33.7, and the second resistance at HKD 34.9, with an upward probability of 48%. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 46, which is in a neutral-to-weak zone, showing no extreme overbought or oversold conditions. This indicates insufficient short-term momentum, with both buyers and sellers locked in a tug-of-war.
The overall technical indicator signal is 'Buy', with a strength score of 7. Multiple oscillation indicators show neutrality, but notably, both the Williams %R and Stochastic Oscillator are in overbought territory, issuing sell signals. The CCI indicator also suggests selling, creating a divergence with the comprehensive buy signal. On the other hand, the Bull-Bear Power indicator shows 'oversold, possible bottom formation, buy,' while the Ichimoku Cloud and Bollinger Bands both indicate buy signals, and MACD remains neutral. Overall, the technical indicators present notable inconsistencies, reflecting potential pullback pressure amid the rebound, though a mid-term bottom structure may be forming.
Regarding the Bollinger Bands, the current price of HKD 32.18 has recovered near the middle band after previously breaking below the lower band and gradually repairing. If the price can stabilize above the middle band and move further upward, there could be room for a short-term rebound. However, since the stock price is still below the 30-day and 60-day moving averages, this should only be considered a technical rebound, without confirmation of a trend reversal at this stage.
In summary, Shandong Gold's current price of HKD 32.18 hinges on whether it can effectively break through the resistance at the 30-day moving average of HKD 31.71. If it can hold above the HKD 28.7 support and rise above HKD 31.71, the rebound could extend to HKD 33.7 or even HKD 34.9. Conversely, if it fails to hold the HKD 28.7 support again, a retest of the HKD 27.4 support level will be necessary. Considering that the RSI is only at 46 and there is divergence among indicators, it is not advisable to chase aggressively at this stage. A more prudent strategy would be to wait for the stock price to clearly stabilize above HKD 31.7 before deploying with the trend or waiting for a pullback to around HKD 28.7 to confirm support before entering at a lower level.
