  • Recent Move: Rally off 3660.5 low into 3824.6 extended Fibonacci and harmonic projections.

  • Harmonic Levels: Key Square of 9 nodes at 3748, 3824, 3897, and 3912.

  • Resistance Map: A sustained breakout above 3837 opens harmonic resonance toward 3897–3912.

  • Strategic View: Square of 9 harmonics provide vibrational targets that overlap with VC PMI Sell zones.

Market Structure

Gold futures are consolidating after a sharp rally from the low at 3660.5 into the recent peak at 3824.6. Price is currently trading near 3788, positioned in a critical support/resistance band defined by both daily and weekly VC PMI levels. This juncture will determine whether momentum extends toward higher Fibonacci projections or rotates back into mean reversion.

VC PMI FrameworkGold Futures Chart

  • Daily Pivot: 3804

  • Buy 1 Daily: 3784

  • Buy 2 Daily: 3725

  • Sell 1 Daily: 3837

  • Sell 2 Daily: 3897

  • Weekly Pivot: 3704

  • Buy 1 Weekly: 3665

  • Sell 1 Weekly: 3748

  • Sell 2 Weekly: 3787

Currently, gold is trading between Daily Buy 1 (3784) and Weekly Sell 2 (3787). This narrow band suggests immediate equilibrium. A decisive close above 3804 would shift sentiment bullish toward 3837–3897, while failure below 3784 exposes 3725–3704.

Gann Cycle Integration

  • 30-Day Cycle: The current up-leg began aligning with the cycle low near September 17 and is projected to extend into October 17, marking the next 30-day cycle high. This aligns with the ongoing bullish push, suggesting pullbacks above 3725 should be treated as re-accumulation within the cycle.

Gold Futures - Gann Cycle
360-Day Cycle: The dominant 360-day low window converges around September 28, 2025. This is a key structural pivot. If gold sustains strength into this date, the market could be launching from a major long-term cycle low, setting the stage for higher-timeframe upside toward year-end.

The convergence of the short-term 30-day cycle in escape velocity with the long-term 360-day cycle trough points to a powerful potential reversal dynamic. If confirmed, price could invert from short-term weakness into a multi-month uptrend.

Square of 9 Harmonics

  • 3748 (Weekly Sell 1) and 3824 (recent high) align with 90°–135° harmonics, often acting as inversion levels.

  • 3704–3665 cluster sits near a 180° harmonic, reinforcing this as a major downside floor.

  • Upside Square of 9 extensions project toward 3897–3912, matching the Daily Sell 2 level.

These harmonics reinforce that gold is orbiting critical vibrational nodes, where reversals and accelerations often unfold.

Conclusion

Gold futures are balancing on a knife’s edge at the confluence of daily and weekly VC PMI levels. The September 28th 360-day cycle low carries outsized significance: holding above 3660–3704 suggests a structural reversal into a new long-term bull phase. In the near term, watch 3784–3804 as the trigger band — failure leads to reversion at 3725, while a close above pivots targets 3837 and beyond.
