Gold Futures (/GC) – VC PMI Weekend Update with 30-Day & 360-Day Cycles
Current Market Context
is trading around $3,789.8, staging a recovery from this week’s low at $3,718.1 and staying comfortably above the weekly Buy 1 ($3,740) and VC PMI Weekly ($3,787) levels. Momentum has turned positive, with the MACD histogram rising and short-term cycles aligning to suggest continued bullish pressure.
This places the market in a mean reversion up phase, confirmed by the convergence of daily and weekly supports between $3,777–$3,746.
Daily and Weekly VC PMI Alignment
- Daily VC PMI Pivot: $3,795
- Buy 1 Daily: $3,777
- Buy 2 Daily: $3,746
- Sell 1 Daily: $3,827
- Sell 2 Daily: $3,845
- Weekly VC PMI Pivot: $3,787
- Buy 1 Weekly: $3,740
- Buy 2 Weekly: $3,670
- Sell 1 Weekly: $3,857
- Sell 2 Weekly: $3,904
This structure shows that support (3,740–3,777) and resistance (3,827–3,857) are extremely well-defined. Price is sitting in between, coiling for a potential breakout.
If gold clears the Sell 1 Daily ($3,827), it should accelerate toward the Sell 2 Daily ($3,845), with the Sell 1 Weekly ($3,857) directly above as a magnet.
30-Day Cycle Overlay
The 30-day cycle often marks short-term swing highs or lows.
- The last cycle low aligned with the $3,718 area earlier this week, creating a higher low structure.
- This suggests the 30-day cycle is turning upward, reinforcing the case for a near-term rally into early October.
- Upside targets from the cycle projection fall into the $3,845–$3,882 zone, which aligns with Fibonacci extensions and weekly Sell 2.
360-Day Cycle Overlay
The 360-day (annual) cycle gives the long-term compass:
- The prior 360-day low formed September 28, 2024, at much lower levels, and since then, gold has been climbing steadily into higher highs.
- This cycle favors a primary uptrend into Q4 2025, with corrections expected to revert but not negate the long-term bullish trajectory.
- The current structure suggests we are in the rising phase of the annual cycle, which aligns with the recent bullish recovery above $3,740.
This cycle context tells us that even if short-term corrections unfold, the longer-term tide is lifting gold higher, supporting a contrarian bullish stance.
- VC PMI Daily & Weekly pivots (green, blue, cyan, red, orange lines).
- 30-day cycle markers (gold dashed verticals).
- 360-day cycle markers (brown dash-dot verticals).
- Square of 9 harmonics (purple dotted levels).
This visualization shows how cycles, VC PMI levels, and Square of 9 harmonics align, especially around the $3,827–$3,845 resistance zone and the $3,670–$3,659 support cluster.
Square of 9 Harmonics
Using Square of 9 geometry from the $3,718 low:
- 360° rotation (harmonic resistance): $3,827 → aligns exactly with Sell 1 Daily.
- 540° harmonic: $3,845 → aligns with Sell 2 Daily.
- 720° harmonic: $3,882 → aligns with Fibonacci 261.8% and Weekly Sell 2 ($3,904).
This harmonic map validates the VC PMI projections: the Square of 9 confirms that each overhead resistance level is mathematically resonant with recent lows.
On the downside, Square of 9 harmonics from $3,718 project $3,670 and $3,659 as the next strong support cluster, perfectly matching Buy 2 Weekly and Fibonacci 0%.
Strategic Outlook
Bullish Case (Primary):
- Hold above $3,77 (Weekly VC PMI pivot).
- Accumulate on pullbacks $3,777–$3,746.
- Target $3,827 → $3,845 → $3,882–$3,904.
Bearish Case (Secondary):
- Close below $3,740.
- Opens downside to $3,670–$3,659, where long-term buyers are likely waiting.
Summary
Gold is in a critical balancing act: coiling between weekly and daily pivots, while the 30-day cycle turns higher and the 360-day cycle provides a bullish backdrop. The Square of 9 harmonics strengthens the probabilistic map, showing that the VC PMI resistance levels ($3,827–$3,845–$3,904) are not arbitrary, but mathematically aligned with cycle lows.
This convergence of VC PMI, cycles, and geometry increases confidence that gold is preparing for another push higher, with the $3,845–$3,904 zone as the next battleground. As long as $3,740 holds, the market remains tilted toward a breakout and continuation of the uptrend.
