No trades for now… letting gold show its next moveYesterday, gold closed above 3282 level, which we’ve been tracking closely as the 0.50 Fibonacci level from the 3440–3120 decline. This was a key technical level and with that break, I’ve closed all my short positions initiated from the 3385 area(with a good profit overall), as shared earlier. With that exit, I’m currently flat and not holding any active positions. From an intraday perspective, price is now inching toward the next resistance at 3319, which corresponds to the 0.618 Fib retracement a typical zone where reactions or pullbacks possible. The trend has shifted from a clean corrective phase into a potential BIG RANGE CONSOLIDATION structure(for range we have to wait for weekly close confirmations) I’ll wait for more clarity in price action near 3319–3345, and reassess if fresh selling opportunities or continuation setups emerge.I prefer to stay on the sidelines and observe how price behaves around the next resistance cluster before jumping into the next move.

Key Rejection Zone Approaching – Bearish Setup in PlayChart Summary: Asset: Unspecified (USD-based) Timeframe: Short-term (likely 1H or 4H) Indicators: EMA 50 (red): 3,245.772 EMA 200 (blue): 3,223.635 Key Zones: Resistance Zone (Red box): ~3,310–3,360 Target/Support Zone (Red box): ~3,110–3,160 Mid Support Zone (Blue box): ~3,200–3,230 Trendline: Downward sloping resistance connecting major highs --- Technical Breakdown: Trend Analysis: Primary Trend: Bearish ⬇️ Confirmed by the downtrend line (black) which has been respected multiple times (3 clear touches). Current Price: 3,290.090 Price is approaching a key confluence zone: resistance area + trendline. This area has previously acted as strong supply. Moving Averages: EMA 50 > EMA 200: Minor bullish signal (Golden Cross), but price action is still below major resistance. However, this cross may be a false signal if price gets rejected here. --- Price Action: Current Move: Strong bullish push toward resistance after rebounding from the target zone ✅ The resistance zone and trendline are likely to act as a rejection point unless broken decisively. --- Bearish Scenario (High Probability): If price fails to break above the resistance zone: Expect a rejection and move back toward: Blue mid-support: ~3,220 Target zone: ~3,130 (major demand area) Confirmation: Bearish candlestick pattern or strong wick rejections near resistance. 🔵 Entry Idea: Short near 3,310–3,350 🎯 Target: 3,130 zone ✋ Stop-Loss: Above 3,360 (above trendline + resistance) --- Bullish Scenario (Less Likely): If price breaks above the resistance zone with strong volume: Could signal trend reversal Next target levels: ~3,400+ --- Conclusion: Bias: Bearish near resistance zone Key Level to Watch: 3,310–3,360 (critical for direction) Trading Approach: Wait for confirmation, don't preemptively short without rejection signals.

Gold breaks out of triangle patternThe world gold price has increased to 3,222 USD/ounce, continuing the strong recovery thanks to supportive factors from safe-haven sentiment. Moody's downgrade of the US long-term credit rating has fueled concerns about financial risks, while trade tensions due to the US Treasury Secretary's statement have further strengthened gold's position as a safe haven. On the 1H chart, the price has just broken out of the ascending symmetrical triangle pattern - a technical structure that often signals the continuation of an uptrend. The breakout zone around 3,235 is currently acting as support. As long as the price holds above this zone, the possibility of gold continuing to move towards the target of 3,270–3,280 is quite high. In particular, the EMA34 and EMA89 lines are converging and preparing to create a short-term bullish crossover. However, investors should note that if the price reverses and breaks through the bottom of the triangle (below 3,220), the bullish pattern will be negated, and the possibility of a bearish reversal will return. With the geopolitical and economic context still having many uncertainties, gold is holding the upper hand but still needs solid confirmation from price action after the breakout.

GOLD MARKET UPDATE - BE READY FOR BIG MOVES!🔥 GOLD MARKET UPDATE – FED'S HAWKISH STANCE SHAKES INVESTORS | BE READY FOR BIG MOVES! Gold experienced a sharp drop following the latest hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve, as they reaffirmed that current monetary conditions remain stable and tight. This has caused confusion and panic among many investors, leading to a wave of sell-offs during the U.S. and early Asia sessions. 📉 On the higher timeframes, Gold appears to be forming a bearish flag pattern – a classic consolidation structure before a potential continuation move. Despite the strong bullish momentum seen during the Asian and European sessions yesterday, the key resistance near 325x held firm, preventing any major breakout. For now, Gold seems to be trapped in a new sideways range, and unless price decisively breaks above 325x, we may continue to see choppy price action within this zone. ⚠️ However, if the current selling momentum persists and the price breaks down below the lower trendline support, the bearish flag setup could play out, with up to 80% probability, signaling a potential strong continuation of the downtrend. Traders should stay extremely alert – a major price movement could happen at any moment! 🔑 Key Support Levels: 3205 3294 3280 3262 🔑 Key Resistance Levels: 3244 3262 3278 3286 💹 Scalping Setup – BUY: Entry: 3294–3292 Stop Loss: 3288 Take Profit Targets: 3298 – 3302 – 3306 – 3310 – 3315 – 3320 – 3330 🟢 BUY ZONE: Entry: 3272–3270 Stop Loss: 3266 Take Profit Targets: 3276 – 3280 – 3284 – 3288 – 3292 – 3296 – 3330 🔻 Scalping Setup – SELL: Entry: 3242–3244 Stop Loss: 3248 Take Profit Targets: 3238 – 3234 – 3230 – 3226 – 3220 – 3210 🔻 SELL Zone: Entry: 3276–3278 Stop Loss: 3282 Take Profit Targets: 3272 – 3268 – 3264 – 3260 – 3250 – 3240 📌 Remember to always follow your TP/SL strategy to protect your capital!

Beware of short-term bull trapsOn the H4 chart, gold is testing an important resistance zone around EMA89 (purple) after a rebound from the bottom of 3,120. However, both EMA34 and EMA89 are sloping down, indicating that the short-term trend is still bearish. The current rebound is not strong enough to confirm a reversal. The most recent candle also has a long upper shadow, indicating that selling pressure is waiting above. If the price is rejected at the 3,250–3,260 zone and turns around to break down to 3,220, there is a high possibility that gold will retest the old bottom around 3,120. The strategy at this time is to stay out or wait to sell lightly if a clear reversal signal appears near the resistance zone. Avoid FOMO because the rebound has not been confirmed by volume or trend structure.

Gold Holding Above 3200… But Is the Rebound Real?Gold followed through on our previous expectation, bouncing from the 3140–3160 support zone after briefly tagging a low near 3120. From there, bulls regained some control and managed to reclaim the 3200 level, which we’ve been watching closely. Although last week’s close was above 3200, I still consider this move a corrective bounce, not a confirmed reversal. The key level I’m watching now is 3282, which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the recent decline from 3440 to 3120. Until price decisively closes above this zone, I’ll continue to treat this as a pullback within a broader correection/downtrend and hold onto a portion of my short positions. If bulls manage to break and hold above 3282, we could start seeing signs of a short-term trend shift toward higher resistance zones like 3350 or beyond. However, as long as price stays below 3282, the risk remains for another move back below 3200 and if that happens, a revisit of the 3140–3120 support zone is very much on the table. and if that support break, our previous bearish targets come back into focus. So for now, I’m still leaning toward downside continuation unless the market proves otherwise by reclaiming key resistance with strength.

GOLD DAILY PLAN MAY 19: IS THIS THE START OF A MASSIVE BULLISH GOLD DAILY PLAN – MAY 20: IS THIS THE START OF A MASSIVE BULLISH RUN? Gold opened the new trading week with a powerful GAP UP of over 20 USD, followed by an additional 50 USD rally during the Asia session. This explosive move is being fueled by geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty, setting the tone for what could be a highly volatile and profitable week for gold traders. 🔥 Key Fundamental Drivers Behind This Gold Rally: 1️⃣ Putin rejects peace talks – Increased war risks reignite gold’s safe-haven appeal. 2️⃣ U.S. credit rating downgraded – Rising debt and bond yields are pushing investors back to gold. 3️⃣ Trump threatens new trade tariffs – Even a softer version of “Trade War 2.0” could shock global markets, making gold a top hedge. ➡️ With no clear resolutions in sight, gold may soon retest the all-time high of $3,500. 🧠 Technical Analysis: Bullish Signals Are Confirming EMA13 has crossed above EMA34 and EMA200 on the M30 chart — a classic reversal confirmation. The main trendline was broken, and price is now retesting the breakout zone. Momentum remains strong, and price structure is shifting bullish. Priority is now to BUY the dips rather than sell counter-trend. 📌 Key Price Levels to Watch: 🔺 Resistance Zones: 3254 – 3277 – 3288 (If price breaks above 3287, we may quickly see a move toward 3350–3500.) 🔻 Support Zones: 3204 – 3193 – 3186 – 3174 – 3163 (Best areas to watch for confirmation to BUY.) 🎯 Suggested Trade Ideas: BUY Zone: 3186 - 3184 Stop-Loss (SL): 3180 Take-Profit (TP): 3190 → 3195 → 3200 → 3210 → 3220 → 3230 BUY Scalp: 3194 - 3192 Stop-loss: 3189 Take-Profit: 3200 - 3204 - 3210 - 3215 - 3220 SELL Zone: 3287 - 3289 Only scalp or take quick profits near resistance zones Stop-Loss (SL): 3293 Take-Profit (TP): 3285 → 3280 → 3285 → 3280 → 3270 (Note: Avoid holding SELLs, only scalp on strong bearish signals.) ⚠️ Trading Notes: Market is highly sensitive to geopolitical headlines. One comment from Trump or Putin could move gold 50–100 USD in minutes. No need to chase price. Let it come to your zones — and only enter on clear confirmations. 📌 Summary: ✅ Structure has turned bullish across M30 and H4. ✅ Focus on buying dips, not shorting into strength. ✅ Medium-term target zones: 3350 → 3400 → 3500, depending on continued macro pressure. 📣 Follow AD for live trading plans, market sentiment, and smart entry zones every session!

Critical Reversal or Breakdown? | XAU/USD at Make-or-Break Zone 📉 Chart Overview: Instrument: XAU/USD (assumed from chart context) Timeframe: 4H or Daily (based on candlestick size) Indicators Used: 📏 EMA 50 (Red): 3,247.86 📏 EMA 200 (Blue): 3,221.42 🔍 RSI (14): Currently at 45.90 (below midline, showing weak momentum) 🔎 Key Zones: 🧱 Support Zone: ~3,180 – 3,220 Price is currently sitting on this key demand zone. Price previously bounced here sharply ➡️ indicating buyer interest. 📦 Resistance Block: ~3,260 – 3,280 Short-term resistance, price has been repeatedly rejected from here. 🎯 Target Zone: ~3,420 – 3,460 If price breaks out from the support-resistance squeeze, this is the potential bullish target 🎯. 🧭 EMA Analysis: EMA 50 is still above EMA 200 ➡️ Golden Cross formation (medium-term bullish bias) ✅ However, price is currently below both EMAs, signaling short-term weakness ❌ 📉 Bearish Scenario (📍Blue Arrow Down): If price breaks below the support zone at ~3,180, we could see a sharp drop toward the next support at ~3,032 🔻. RSI is trending down near 40, close to oversold territory ⚠️ 🚀 Bullish Scenario (📈 Blue Arrow Up): A successful retest and bounce from this support area (currently forming a rounded bottom 🥄) could lead to a bullish move toward the target zone. This is further supported by the potential RSI bounce from the 40 area, signaling renewed momentum 🔋. ✅ Bias & Conclusion: Neutral-to-Bullish Bias 🤝: As long as the price holds above the major support zone (~3,180), buyers have a chance to reclaim higher levels. Look for confirmation breakout above the local resistance (~3,260) for a move toward 3,400+ 🚀. A breakdown below support would invalidate the bullish thesis and target 3,030 instead 📉. 🛠️ Trading Plan (not financial advice!): Long Entry: On bullish breakout & retest of ~3,260 ✅ Stop-Loss: Below ~3,180 ⚠️ Target: ~3,420 – 3,460 🎯

GOLD Pullback or Bull Trap? This Move for the WEEK⚡️Will the Recovery Hold or Just a Retest Before Another Drop? 🧠 Macro Backdrop: Geopolitical tension: US-China trade headlines and Russia-Ukraine negotiations continue to stir uncertainty, but risk appetite is still cautious. US CPI and PPI data this week came in weaker than expected → inflation remains soft, but no signal yet for immediate rate cuts from the Fed. Gold has been under pressure for 2 weeks but may be stabilizing as DXY loses steam and equity markets show hesitation. 🔍 Technical Outlook (Chart: M30–H1): Gold is forming a rising wedge within a broader corrective pattern. Yesterday’s rebound from the 3,163 zone has pushed price back above the 20 EMA (black) and is testing the 3,208–3,210 zone. This area is key for today: breakout or rejection? 🔑 Key Levels to Watch: 🔺 Resistance: 3,221 → Local structure neckline 3,235 → Previous supply + Fibo confluence 3,251 → Strong upper bound resistance 🔻 Support: 3,184 → Minor support (demand block) 3,173 → Swing low (key reaction zone) 3,163 → Final line of defense 📈 Trade Scenarios: ⚠️ Scenario A – Bullish Push Above 3,221: If price breaks and holds above 3,221, we may see a bullish continuation to 3,235 and even 3,251. Momentum confirmation: Price must stay above 3,210 on pullbacks. 🔹 Entry: 3,222 – 3,224 🔹 SL: 3,216 🔹 TP: 3,235 → 3,251 ⚠️ Scenario B – False Break & Bearish Rejection: If price fails to hold above 3,221 and reverses below 3,208 → potential short opportunity targeting lower liquidity zones. 🔻 Entry: 3,220 – 3,218 (after rejection) 🔻 SL: 3,228 🔻 TP: 3,184 → 3,173 → 3,163 ⚠️ Scenario C – Range Play: If price remains between 3,208 and 3,184, scalp inside the range and wait for breakout confirmation. 💬 Follow for real-time setups and live strategy updates during major market sessions.

GOLD OUTLOOK – MAY 16: MARKET TRAP OR LEGITIMATE RECOVERY?GOLD OUTLOOK – MAY 17: MARKET TRAP OR LEGITIMATE RECOVERY? Gold is closing out the week with unpredictable volatility, following two extreme sessions where prices dropped over 100 pips, only to rebound aggressively. Are recent news headlines just justifying the price action, or is this a well-orchestrated market trap? 🔍 Technical Breakdown (D1 & H4) On the daily and 4-hour charts, we can clearly see a sharp breakdown, followed by an immediate rebound into the 325x area. 🎯 Key Level to Watch: 3254 – 3256 If price remains below 3256, sellers continue to dominate. If 3256 is broken to the upside, we could see a quick move toward 327x–328x. This zone acts as a decisive barrier between continuation and reversal. 🌐 Macro Perspective – Market Triggers US inflation data continues to disappoint, weakening the USD and halting DXY recovery. US-China tensions flare up again after short-lived optimism, especially around tariff talks and rare earth restrictions. With mixed geopolitical cues, this market is prone to fakeouts and liquidity sweeps, especially ahead of the weekend. 📌 Key Levels to Monitor 🔺 Resistance Zones: 3237 – 3251 – 3261 – 3276 – 3287 🔻 Support Zones: 3205 – 3188 – 3170 – 3143 🎯 Trading Plan 🔵 BUY SCALP: Entry: 3172 – 3170 SL: 3166 TP: 3176 → 3180 → 3184 → 3188 → 3192 → 3200 🔵 BUY ZONE: Entry: 3142 – 3140 SL: 3136 TP: 3146 → 3150 → 3154 → 3158 → 3170 → 3180 → 3190 🔴 SELL SCALP: Entry: 3160 – 3162 SL: 3166 TP: 3156 → 3152 → 3148 → 3144 → 3140 → 3130 🔴 SELL ZONE: Entry: 3276 – 3278 SL: 3282 TP: 3272 → 3268 → 3264 → 3260 → 3255 → 3240 ⚠️ Key Notes: Friday sessions often bring major liquidity grabs and false breakouts. Be disciplined with SL/TP management – especially in such volatile conditions. Wait for candle confirmation before reacting — don’t trade emotionally.

Gold Reclaims 3200 What’s Next?Yesterday, gold dipped into the 3140–3160 support zone, even tagging a low near 3120 and from there, buyers stepped in with a decent bounce. That was expected. Now, price has reclaimed the 3200 level and this is the key zone to watch today. ⚠️ Above 3200? Bulls might get some room to test the next resistance around 3265–3275. This is a short-term target if the upside continues. Back below 3200? Bears may take control again, with potential continuation toward yesterday’s lows. If that breaks, our previous downside projection remains in play. Also, from the Fibonacci retracement of this recent down leg (from 3440 to 3120) the 3282 level is a major Fib level (0.5) to watch, Unless we close above that, I’ll continue holding part of my short positions, aiming for lower levels as marked on the chart.

Gold breaks EMA34 – Trend is weakeningOn the D1 chart, gold has just closed below EMA34 for the first time since February. Although the price bounced back slightly from the 3,120 area today, I see that the recovery force is still weak and not enough to reverse the trend. EMA34 has started to curve down, warning that the medium-term uptrend is weakening. If the next few sessions cannot surpass 3,240, I am inclined to the scenario that the price will continue to fall to EMA89 around 3,050–3,070. I will temporarily stay out of this area, waiting for a clearer signal before deciding to follow the buying or selling side.

Gold Loses 3,220 – Will It Fall Further?Gold has just broken through the 3,220 support and closed the H4 candle at $3,213/ounce. The strong red candle with volume shows that the sellers are still in control. I saw the EMA34 cut down to the EMA89 early and maintained a negative slope – confirming a clear downtrend. I am watching the 3,180 – 3,200 zone as the next target. If the price rebounds but does not surpass 3,240, I will continue to sell. The current situation is not suitable for buying against the trend, especially when the USD is still strong and the safe-haven sentiment is decreasing.

SPDR's Heavy Outflows Signal Institutional Exit – Is Gold LosingSPDR's Heavy Outflows Signal Institutional Exit – Is Gold Losing Momentum? 📉 SPDR Gold Trust Overview (Apr 24 – May 14, 2025): 🔻 Continuous Net Selling: From April 30 to May 14, SPDR saw 10 consecutive sessions of net selling, unloading over 18.5 tons of gold. 📌 Key Selling Days: May 2: -4.87 tons May 6: -2.29 tons May 14: -2.58 tons 👉 SPDR's gold holdings dropped from ~948.56 tons to ~936.51 tons — a decrease of over 12 tons in just 3 weeks, signaling that institutional capital is exiting gold ETFs. This reflects waning confidence in gold’s short-term upside. 🕯️ Technical Breakdown: Gold's price has broken below the $3200 support zone on the D1 chart, invalidating the bullish defense zone. The Double Top pattern is now around 80% completed, signaling a possible deeper drop unless a strong recovery occurs. Momentum remains strongly bearish, making it difficult to time SELL entries unless lower timeframe resistance shows up. 🧭 Macro Pressures: Optimism around US economic growth and expectations of prolonged high interest rates are weighing on gold. The PPI report and Fed Chair's speech today could trigger further volatility, especially if the rhetoric remains hawkish. CPI earlier this week painted a mixed picture, with sticky inflation — which is bearish for gold. 🧠 What Smart Money Is Doing: Big funds are rotating out of gold and back into risk-on assets like equities and crypto. This shift is not just a technical correction; it reflects a broader macro-driven sentiment change. Gold is currently lacking institutional support. 🎯 Trading Strategy for Today: 🔴 SELL SCALP: Entry: 3186 – 3188 SL: 3192 TP: 3182 → 3178 → 3174 → 3170 → 3166 → 3160 → 3150 → 3140 🔴 SELL ZONE (High-Probability Resistance): Entry: 3226 – 3228 SL: 3232 TP: 3220 → 3216 → 3210 → 3206 → 3200 → 3196 → 3190 → ??? 🔺 Key Resistance Levels: 3154 3174 3188 3206 3226 3254 ⚠️ What to Watch Today: US PPI and Fed speech could trigger extreme volatility in the NY session. Wait for price to pull back toward resistance before SELLING — don’t chase. BUY only if a confirmed D1 reversal or high-volume reaction occurs. 🔚 Final Thoughts: With SPDR aggressively dumping gold and price breaking below critical support, institutional flows are no longer supporting the bull case. As long as price stays under $3200, SELL remains the primary strategy. A break below $3150 opens the path to $3000. 📣 Stay tuned — AD will update real-time strategies as we approach the US session. Follow, trade smart, and always respect your TP/SL. Good luck!

Gold : Time to fade the Bullish sentiments As expected, gold followed my projection very precisely.... After losing the 3200 support zone yesterday, price continued its descent and is now hovering around the 3140–3160 support area. This zone is significant and could act as a temporary buffer. At this stage, I’m expecting some sideways movement a consolidation phase. Why? Because this level could attract some short-term buying or profit booking from sellers. If gold fails to hold this level and we see increasing selling pressure, a clean breakdown could drive us straight toward the 3000 psychological level my next target. That would be a key area to watch for a larger bounce or even a macro reversal setup.

DOUBLE TOP IN PLAY? IS $3000 THE NEXT STOP?DOUBLE TOP IN PLAY? IS $3000 THE NEXT STOP? Gold (XAU/USD) is showing signs of one of the most bearish patterns on the daily chart – the Double Top formation. After reaching an all-time high near $3,500, the metal has entered a sharp correction phase, now hovering dangerously close to the psychological support at $3,200. 🕯️ Technical Breakdown: A clear Double Top pattern is visible on the Daily (D1) chart, with two peaks forming near the same resistance level – a classical signal of bullish exhaustion. If today's daily candle closes below the $3,200 zone, we may see a sharp drop toward the $3,000 level in the short to medium term. The neckline of this pattern aligns with the critical support at 3196–3200 – a must-watch area for potential breakdown confirmation. 💸 What the Smart Money Is Doing: Investors are pulling out of Gold and rotating into risk-on assets like equities and crypto, chasing higher yields and growth potential. This shift suggests more than just technical correction – it may reflect a broader macro sentiment change, especially if the Fed continues to maintain its hawkish tone and delays rate cuts. 📊 Suggested Trade Scenarios: 🔻 If Daily Close is Below $3,200: High probability sell setup based on Double Top Potential downside targets: 3120 → 3050 → 3000 🔺 If Price Holds Above $3,200 and Bounces: Watch for retracement to 3250–3278 for potential reversal signals Short-term BUY scalp towards 3300–3320 with tight SL below 3190 ⚠️ What to Watch This Week: Key US data including CPI, PPI, and a speech from the Fed Chair are expected — which could cause high volatility. Market is extremely reactive — avoid emotional trades and wait for clear structure confirmations. Risk management is key, especially in current uncertain market conditions. 📌 Final Thoughts: The Double Top on Gold is becoming a strong technical signal for potential trend reversal. A confirmed break below $3,200 could open the door to a deeper correction toward $3,000. 📣 Stay connected with AD for more real-time updates, technical levels, and smart trading setups every session.

Gold Price Faces Heavy Pressure – Key Levels and Strategy GOLD DAILY STRATEGY – 14 MAY 2025 Price fails to hold gains as sellers dominate early Asia – Eyes on 3206 zone! 🔍 Market Sentiment Update: Gold started the day with a slight uptick, but the rally was quickly rejected, and price fell sharply — a clear signal that buying power remains extremely fragile. This kind of price behavior — slow climbs, rapid falls — is typical of a market losing confidence in its upside momentum. At the same time, geopolitical tensions have eased and US-China tariff talks have shown signs of progress, further pressuring gold as safe-haven demand weakens. All major macro indicators are now aligning with the bearish narrative. 🟠 Conclusion? Gold is likely to stay within the current descending price channel, and any bullish pullbacks may be limited unless strong demand re-emerges. 📉 Technical Outlook: Price is trading below key resistance and continues to reject upside attempts. The market is respecting short-term resistance zones and pushing deeper into support. Unless there’s a clear reversal signal, selling on rallies remains the optimal approach. 📌 Key Resistance Zones: 3244 3262 3278 3290 3308 3330 📌 Key Support Zones: 3216 3206 3194 3170 3158 🎯 Trade Setups: 🔴 SELL SCALP Entry: 3257 – 3259 SL: 3263 TP: 3253 → 3250 → 3246 → 3242 → 3238 → 3235 → 3230 → 3220 🔴 SELL ZONE Entry: 3278 – 3280 SL: 3284 TP: 3274 → 3270 → 3266 → 3262 → 3258 → 3254 → 3250 → 3240 → 3230 🔵 BUY SCALP Entry: 3196 – 3194 SL: 3190 TP: 3200 → 3204 → 3208 → 3212 → 3216 → 3220 🔵 BUY ZONE (Long-Term Zone) Entry: 3158 – 3156 SL: 3152 TP: 3162 → 3166 → 3170 → 3174 → 3178 → 3182 → 3190 ⚠️ Final Notes: Price action continues to respect the bearish channel. BUY entries are risky at this point — every bounce is met with resistance. Watch closely for price behavior near 3222–3206 for possible intraday reactions. News events remain critical — any update from US-China talks or surprise Fed remarks could change the bias swiftly. 📌 As always — respect your zones. Stay reactive, not predictive. Trade safe, and let the market show its hand.

Gold breaks through 3,300 – Selling pressure has not stoppedGold price plummeted from 3,325 to 3,237 USD/ounce after the US and China reached a temporary agreement to reduce taxes. The stock market is up, the USD is strong, money flows out of gold. I see selling pressure clearly dominating. On H1, the price is still below EMA34 and EMA89, recovering weakly around 3,260. H4 confirms the downtrend that has been formed before. If it does not surpass 3,270, I am inclined to believe that gold will continue to fall to 3,200 – 3,180.

Gold Under Pressure: Will Key Support Hold?Gold prices slipped slightly to around $3,230 in early trading today. The precious metal remains on the defensive due to a stronger U.S. dollar, rising U.S. bond yields, and renewed optimism surrounding the U.S.–China trade deal. As long as this optimism continues, XAU/USD is likely to remain under pressure. The recent surge to record highs was driven by concerns over a global economic slowdown and rising inflationary pressures due to tariffs — but that rally quickly faded, failing to hold its peak. From a technical perspective, the 4H chart shows that gold has dropped below the EMA 34 and EMA 89, with a clear confluence between the EMAs and a marked resistance zone, which also aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. If price fails to break above this resistance with strong momentum, the downtrend could continue, leading to deeper corrections in the near term.

GOLD Will the Correction Continue or Will We See a Reversal?GOLD UPDATE – Will the Correction Continue or Will We See a Reversal? 📊 Market Analysis: Yesterday’s sharp decline in gold prices indicates a temporary easing in geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing conflict and political issues. It seems that the global environment has become slightly less tense recently, which could be a key factor in the correction we are seeing in gold. From a political and trade perspective, the current price trend appears rational, but it is important to note that nothing is set in stone just yet. Further negotiations are expected, and these could lead to significant agreements. After the sharp drop, gold has managed to find some momentum for recovery, filling liquidity gaps and returning to areas of lower liquidity. 🔍 Current Outlook: At the moment, I’m still expecting a possible rebound in gold, but the best opportunity might be to focus on sell positions for the time being. Yesterday’s plan, although bearish, enabled us to catch key levels for potential buy entries. Today, sell entries might be more favorable than buying. The price is likely to continue adjusting as we await more macroeconomic news, especially regarding the US Federal Reserve’s actions. We’ve seen the Fed avoid Trump’s pressure, and there is speculation that interest rate cuts might be postponed until later in the year rather than mid-year as previously expected. If this is the case, gold could potentially revisit the $3000/oz mark in the near future. 🔮 Short-Term Strategy: For now, we will continue trading according to the market’s correction wave. Sell positions might offer a better risk-to-reward ratio in this environment. We may still see some bounces, but they would likely be short-lived unless we see more positive macroeconomic data. 💡 Key Resistance Levels: 3264 3278 3307 3328 💡 Key Support Levels: 3241 3207 3196 3172 3156 🎯 Trade Setup: BUY SCALP: Entry: 3196 – 3164 SL: 3190 TP: 3200 → 3204 → 3208 → 3212 → 3216 → 3220 BUY ZONE: Entry: 3158 – 3156 SL: 3152 TP: 3162 → 3166 → 3170 → 3174 → 3178 → 3182 → 3190 SELL SCALP: Entry: 3278 – 3280 SL: 3284 TP: 3274 → 3270 → 3266 → 3260 → 3250 → 3240 SELL ZONE: Entry: 3328 – 3330 SL: 3334 TP: 3324 → 3320 → 3316 → 3312 → 3308 → 3300 → 3290 → 3280 📅 Key Event: CPI Announcement Today, we are also expecting the CPI report, a critical piece of data for the month. Be aware that there’s not much to analyze yet regarding this report, but we will update everyone once the data comes out later today. 💼 Risk Management: Given the volatility we’re seeing, proper risk management is essential. Stick to your TP/SL levels to protect your account and avoid unnecessary risks. 📈 Final Thoughts: Gold is currently facing corrections, but with geopolitical tensions easing, it could lead to more stability and potential breakout opportunities. Keep your trades aligned with key levels and macro news. Keep an eye on CPI and adjust accordingly. 💬 Good luck to everyone! Keep your positions safe and be patient for the right opportunities.
