Gold is in RangeAs per TPO chart on gold for 30 Min:
Market Sentiments looks like the market is trying to find its base after that sharp drop we saw last week. There's been some buying interest as the price has started to stabilize a bit higher, but the ups and downs show there's still some uncertainty in the air. We have seen multiple rejection from 30-35 area and the dip from this range might suggest a bit of short-term bearishness, but since we're still close to the normal trading range(2620-40 Now), it's not too alarming.
Building Emotional Intelligence in Trading: Your Edge for 2025
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is often the unsung hero of successful trading. It involves understanding your emotions and those of others to enhance decision-making, manage stress, and navigate the often tumultuous financial markets. Here's how to leverage EQ to improve your trading outcomes in the coming year:
1. Self-Awareness - Know Your Emotional Triggers:
Concept: Recognize what emotions drive your trading decisions. Are you prone to fear, greed, or overconfidence?
Application: Keep a trading diary where you note not just your trades but your emotional state before, during, and after each transaction. This can reveal patterns in how emotions affect your trading.
2. Self-Regulation - Control Impulsive Reactions:
Concept: Manage your reactions to market movements to avoid knee-jerk trades.
Application: Set pre-defined rules for when to trade and when to step back. Use techniques like deep breathing or stepping away from the screen to calm down during high volatility.
3. Motivation - Stay Driven by Your Goals:
Concept: Use intrinsic motivation to keep your focus on long-term goals rather than short-term gains or losses.
Application: Define clear, long-term trading objectives and remind yourself of these goals when facing setbacks. Celebrate small wins to maintain motivation without becoming complacent.
4. Empathy - Understand Market Sentiment:
Concept: Gain insight into how others perceive the market, which can be as crucial as technical analysis.
Application: Monitor market sentiment through news, social media, and community discussions. This broader perspective can help you anticipate market moves based on collective behavior rather than just individual analysis.
5. Social Skills - :
Concept: Build and leverage relationships with other traders for mutual growth and support.
Application: Engage in trading communities, share your insights, and learn from others. Networking can provide emotional support, new strategies, and a sense of belonging which is vital during tough market conditions.
Practical Steps for Enhancing EQ in Trading:
Regular Reflection: Dedicate time weekly to reflect on your emotional responses to trades. What went well emotionally? What could be improved?
Mindfulness Practices: Incorporate mindfulness or meditation into your routine. This can aid in maintaining focus and managing stress, both critical in trading.
Emotional Check-ins: Before making a trade, do a quick emotional check. Are you feeling pressured, excited, or calm? Adjust your approach accordingly.
Scenario Planning: Visualize different market scenarios and your emotional responses to them. This mental preparation can help in real-time decision-making.
Continuous Learning: Read about behavioral economics or psychology related to trading. Books like "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman can offer profound insights.
Gold is currently stuck in Sideways range The 4-hour gold chart shows a consolidating price around 2600-2,630 area, following a downtrend and a slight recovery attempt. Key support lies at 2,600 as a psychological level, with resistance around 2,650 for a breakout confirmation. F or intraday trades, the bias is neutral, Swing traders should wait for a breakout above 2,650 for a move toward 2,700+ or a breakdown below 2,600 for a drop toward 2,550.
The market appears indecisive, so focus on quick trades until a clear direction emerges.
On daily TF The chart is in a clear uptrend , with higher highs and higher lows. the price finding support around the 2,600 level: This suggests the market is in a retracement phase, potentially gearing up for the next big move and we need to wait for potential buying opportunity soon within 1-2 weeks in January after confirmations.
Gold : Almost flat in Holiday weak Gold price is now trading in structure like a bearish flag, which usually means it might not be done falling yet.
Right now, gold's hanging out around 2,619-20, near to weekly pivot point " If price decides to break out below this flag, it's probably going to keep sliding down, looking for support at lower levels. If by some chance it decides to pop up, it'll have to fight through some resistance to keep climbing and the main resistance that we have to watch in higher side is 2650 for bullish continuation. Given that it's the holiday season, it makes sense that the price is just chilling out, moving sideways with not much action going on.
Gold is in range : Current Price Action and Intraday Levels We have seen a recent downtrend (Short Period )after hitting a peak. The price has fallen below the previous support area and consolidation range (highlighted in yellow),and currently consolidating (In grey Box)suggesting sideways to bearish momentum. However, the consolidation could also imply that the market might be looking for direction (Wait for break in any direction).
Current Price Action: Gold is currently priced at around $2,624.235, which is slightly above the pivot point (P) at $2,624.000. The price has shown a recent decline from the high of around $2,673.453, indicating a bearish sentiment in the short term.
Resistance Levels based on Weekly Pivots:
R1 is at $2,664.085, which was recently tested and acted as resistance. If the price moves up, this level could act as a resistance again.
R2 at $2,704.560 and R3 at $2,744.645 are further resistance levels to watch if there's a strong bullish move.
Support Levels based on Weekly Pivots:
S1 is at $2,583.525, which is quite close to the current price. If the price breaks below the pivot point, this could be the first support level to watch.
S2 at $2,543.440 and S3 at $2,502.965 are deeper support levels where buyers might step in.
As discussed in weekly analysis video I am currently waiting for a swing buy opportunity ; and waiting for Lower level in 2550-2530 or Low area , or need confirmation above 2650 if price want to move directly in higher side without testing the lower levels .
Gold Still Looking weak Gold prices have shown weakness, with the market currently positioned below key resistance levels, suggesting a bearish outlook in Intra day. The immediate resistance is seen at the previous support level around 2620-2625, which may act as a psychological barrier for the price to overcome.
Immediate Resistance: 2620-2625 - This level has previously acted as support but now could serve as resistance. A move above this could signal a potential short-term recovery.
Immediate Support: 2588 - This level corresponds to the close on FOMC day, representing a critical support area where buyers might step in if the price tests this level again.
If gold fails to hold above the FOMC day close, there's a risk of further downside also 2580 level acting as a key trendline support, where a failure could lead to more significant declines. The next significant support to watch is around 2568 or a potential move towards 2569 (Fib extension 0.618) if current trends persist, and further levels down to 2537 (November's low), which is a high volume node where buying interest might re-emerge. A break below this could lead to further declines, targeting lower supports; For a bullish signal, gold would need to convincingly close above 2650 if it reverse without breaking 2588 on day close.
Gold on FOMC DayGold price is still looking weak technically and price is failing to claim weekly pivot(2667) in last two trading days of this week; For FOMC my view is still same , means I am expecting one ore leg down and in lower side we have to wait rejection at weekly S1(2608 or 2600 area) or 2568 / 2530-35 Levels for low in December for buying opportunities ( Expecting a low around 22-26 December)
Also in higher side price need to claim 2700 area if price move in bullish side directly today after FOMC to re claim the bullish continuation.
Gold after FOMCAS EXPECTED , in previous post on gold the price was looking weak and after FOMC we have seen a decent correction in alignment with that view , on daily time frame price breakdown two supports I.e., 2620 and 2600, as you can see on the chart the price is now bouncing from lower TF oversold areas but still looking weak, next support as per weekly pivot is at 2568 and then 2530-35 area, As I am waiting from last week for this area for potential bottom in December so that I can plan a swing buy trade from this area. As per current PA ,last day candle is good bearish candle so there is no confirmation of any buy opportunity right now so it's better to wait for more confirmation from lower levels before entering in swing buy .

Gold started the week in almost Flat day After a relatively flat day yesterday, the price is still holding above last week's close of 2648 on higher time frame, and waiting for FOMC day, this kind of flat movement after good decline generally turn into consolidation for short period as everyone want to see the data first.
Given the current position above last week's close, immediate support could be found around the 2648-50 area. If this level holds, it could provide a foundation for any potential bullish moves. breakdown from this zone can resume the decline towards weekly S1 2608 -2600 area or low.
As discussed in previous posts I am still without any entry and waiting for buying confirmation after or during the FOMC day ..Till then it's a waiting and watching scenario.
Gold in FOMC weekGold now under sideways area as marked on chart and for this week price opened under weekly pivot (2667) ; we have seen two days of good decline in last week closing.
Personally I want to see more corrections towards 2610 and then 2530 area for potentials bottom for December , breakdown from 2530 on daily / weekly can open room for decline.
In case of bullish scenario after FOMC price need to re claim 2790 and then we can expect bullish continuation towards 3000.
As during year end markets can be a wild ride , and for this week we have high impact data releases and risk are very high , focus on risk management and try to trade on double sure entry ; I am also waiting for swing opportunity from last week and expecting that we can find this swing by this weekend.

Gold taking a breakAfter PPI data gold is taking break and we have seen a good correction from the buy move : In previous posts I was expecting more strength before a pullback, but gold price faced big resistance at 2715-21 zone.
Now if we draw the fib levels for this current correction that started form yesterday the zone 2700-06 is resistance area for bulls and bull need to claim this zone first to see higher levels and under this we can expect more decline.
In lower side the previous day close (2680) is the level that we have to watch on Intra day.
If price close H1 or H4 under this level then we can expect more decline in lower side.
The first support is PDL (2675) and next support as per Fib is 2669 (50%) and 2656 (60% retracement Level).
For Intra day we can watch these levels and can plan our trade accordingly and for Swing we have to wait for confirmation of possible low on weekly close (Or most probably in mid of next week).
Gold claimed 2720 level now time to make a HHAs discussed in last two days posts gold is now claiming the 2715-21 area and reversed the correction phase completely, after CPI gold printed a good bullish candle and the day closed Just under this zone , now a breakout on this zone can push the price towards next resistance area with high volume (area at 2738-55) and can make a pullback from there , on pullback we can plan buy as marked on chart.
2715-20 area is good resistance and we have seen good rejection from this level today in Asian opening session, and breakout from this area can provide opportunity on Intraday Buy scalping , and next level for Intra day sell in scalping is 2738.
I am still watching and waiting for swing opportunity and expecting a swing buy in next week (around Dec. 17 to dec 20) till then scalping on Intra day levels is good.
Gold breakout from the ConsolidationGold price breakout from consolidation and now trying to move higher ,for the correction phase (2721 to 2606) price now successfully claimed the 50% pullback as per Fibonacci (2663) and now trading above this level , next major Fibonacci level is 60% pullback which is at 2677, if price claim this level on Higher TF (daily or H4) then price can extend this bullish rally towards psychological resistance at 2700, above 2700 we have the swing high at 2721 , so to reverse and to confirm the low in December bulls need to claim this level on HTF.
For Intra day we can use these levels for buying or selling as plotted on chart , and for swing we have to wait for confirmation of cycle low or have to wait for breakout from 2715-21 , till then it's better to wait and watch for suitable entry. Personally I am without any entry as of now, will update you my position once I get confirmation as per current PA.

Gold Weakens Further as Market Awaits Fresh CatalystsGood morning, traders! In the early hours of Friday's trading session, gold continues to weaken, losing over 12 pips.
This decline reflects a temporary pause from bullish investors as they seek new drivers for upward momentum. From a technical perspective, the chart shows that while long-term bullish momentum remains intact, the current pullback appears to be nearing its conclusion. Support is forming around the $2,566 zone, followed by $2,630.
In the short term, gold may experience further declines as the market awaits directional clarity from news expected later in the day. On the other hand, the long-term bullish trend remains a favored bet, with key upside targets marked clearly on the chart.
Happy trading, and may your trades be profitable! Don’t forget to leave a like and share your thoughts about the outlook for this precious metal. Cheers!
Gold resuming the decline As discussed in last week posts and weekly analysis video also, price is resuming the decline cycle and seems like breaking down the rising wedge pattern, On Friday gold price tested the fib 50% level and now moving down , 2650-65 is the main resistance zone now and under this we can look for sell opportunities , today we have extreme narrow CPR which can add a very good one sided move, as I am holding sell trade from last week I am expecting a test near 2600 area first where I am planning to book profit partially from some positions because under 2600 we have weekly S1(2596) where we can expect a short bounce (but I do not want to buy as of now) and I want to hold rest of the sell entries towards 2530.
If bears managed to close the day under 2600 then this can add another confirmation for more decline.
