LiamTrading – Gold Plan: Wide Range + US Politics Exert PressureLiamTrading – Gold Plan: Wide Range + US Politics Exert Pressure
Gold continues to fluctuate within a wide range as market sentiment is heavily influenced by news from the United States. On 3rd October, the US Senate is expected to re-vote on the temporary budget bill. If it fails, the federal government could shut down, extending into the next week. This will undoubtedly have a significant impact on safe-haven flows, making gold more sensitive to key technical resistance zones.
📊 Technical Analysis – Chart H1
Gold is moving within a wide sideways structure, oscillating around strong resistance – support zones.
Fibonacci Resistance + Psychological level around 3878–3881 → suitable for short-term Sell scalping.
Confluence support (Retest + Volume) around 3828–3830 → ideal zone to watch for Buy, expecting a recovery wave.
The larger trend still leans towards an increase, however, in the short term, the market will experience several liquidity sweeps.

Entry: 3878–3881

Buy (retest support + volume):

GOLD STORY #1: XAUUSD SIDEWAY – SHOULD I BUY OR SELL NOW?🔎 1/ Fundamental Analysis
🔴 Global economy and market sentiment:
• Non-farm payrolls (NFP) data: Positive results, showing that the US economy is growing steadily.
• Inflation – the deciding factor: The Fed is still waiting for CPI data next week, which will be the most important factor for interest rate policy.
• Uncertainty from Russia-US tensions: Trade and political sanctions continue to increase, creating greater risks for the global market.
💡 Summary:
Although the USD received support signals from NFP, gold prices still maintained their upward momentum due to risk-off sentiment.

📈 3/ Trading Plan
🟢 BUY – Follow the trend:
• If you have a buy order at a low price, congratulations! 🎉
👉 You can:
• Hold the order: If you expect the price to continue to break the resistance.
• Close a part: When the price touches the resistance zone of 2725~2750 to preserve profits.
• Note: If you do not have a position, you should not FOMO into this price zone because the R:R ratio is no longer ideal.
🔴 SELL – Counter-trend:
• Although the uptrend does not support selling, you can consider:
• Wait for the price reaction at the resistance zone of 2725~2750. OANDA:XAUUSD
• Expected profit should be low because this is a counter-trend trade.
