Gold prices opened as expected, reaching around 4400 at one point. Geopolitical tensions have boosted the market, but whether this rally can continue remains uncertain.

For friends who were caught last week, the market has already extended an olive branch. Those who need to clear their positions should seize the opportunity and not expect better prices. Chasing the rally now is not a solid strategy and could lead to being trapped.

The intraday trading approach is as follows: primarily focus on short positions, and wait for a pullback before looking for opportunities to go long. The specific entry points for long positions depend on the strength of the pullback. Currently, consider shorting near 4395, with a target below at 4340.
