Gold Violent Pullback Fits Bullish Cycle Structure Into Late November

Gold futures delivered one of the most dramatic mean-reversion pivots of the quarter, reversing sharply from the 4,250 high—precisely at the Daily Sell 1 and the upper Fibonacci confluence—before cascading almost 150 points in less than two hours. This was a perfect example of a VC PMI hyperbolic exhaustion signature, where price pushes into a mathematically defined Sell 1/Sell 2 zone, triggers profit-taking, and then snaps back toward equilibrium with high velocity.Gold Futures Chart

The rejection began the moment gold entered the 4,227–4,250 cluster, aligning with the 61.8%–78.6% Fibonacci retracement projection measured from the early November impulse leg. As price pierced these levels, algorithmic selling overwhelmed short-term buyers, forcing a vertical liquidation that temporarily broke below 4,100, ultimately tagging the deep VC PMI support zone near 4,016.5.

However, the rebound was equally powerful: buyers stepped in precisely where the VC PMI model expected—the Buy 1 Daily at 4,181 and the deeper Buy 2 Daily around 4,150. The long lower wick visible on the chart confirms that this was a structural flush inside a dominant uptrend, not a trend reversal. The market rebalanced back toward 4,095–4,120, where order flow stabilized.

Cycle Confluence

Gold Futures - Gann Cycles

The 30-, 60-, 90-, and 360-day cycles remain perfectly synchronized, all pointing to continued upward pressure into late November and December. The 30-day cycle is currently in its expansion phase, which historically produces short but violent corrections that rapidly resolve back into trend. The 60-day cycle, projected from the September 28 anchor low, anticipates a bullish momentum window that remains active through December 15.

The 360-day cycle continues to forecast an extended upside price window toward 4,350–4,500, supported by Square-of-9 geometry and long-term momentum alignment. Today’s intraday collapse fits squarely within this structure: strong markets generate the fastest, deepest mean-reversion moves.

Outlook

As long as gold holds above 4,139–4,179, the VC PMI probability model maintains a bullish bias. A retest of 4,200–4,250 remains highly probable in the next cycle window. Once 4,250 is cleared on strong volume, the market enters escape-velocity geometry, with upside targets expanding toward 4,350–4,500.
