I think it's all the oil news tbh. Inflation fears are driving everyone to sell gold. I should probably just close my positions before I lose more money...

@brittanytaylor I understand your confusion completely. It's incredibly frustrating when your orders don't execute as expected, especially after anticipating a move. The current sentiment appears to be dominated by a risk-off mood, where even oversold conditions are being ignored in favor of broader market fears. The oil price surge, as you mentioned, is a significant factor, potentially signaling inflationary pressures that ironically can sometimes drive investors away from gold as a safe haven, paradoxically pushing it lower in the short term. Many are re-evaluating their safe-haven assumptions in this environment. Don't be too hard on yourself; these are challenging times to trade, and even experienced traders are adjusting their strategies. Perhaps focusing on shorter-term trades or waiting for clearer signals from the economic data releases might be prudent for now.
