Gold Hits New Record: Should You Buy or Sell in This Hot Market?Namaste traders, This past week, gold surprised everyone by closing strong. On Friday (19/09), it moved higher again, marking its 5th consecutive weekly gain at $3,683.24/oz, while futures touched $3,718.50/oz. This surge followed the Fed’s rate cut, which many thought would cool the yellow metal. So, is this a genuine rally or just a bull trap? Fundamentals: Rate Cut Pushes Gold Higher Lower interest rates reduce the cost of holding gold. Fed’s dovish signals raised expectations for more easing. In India, physical gold demand is at a 10-month high, while China also shows strong appetite despite higher prices. Technical Outlook Gold broke its downward trendline, signaling bullish continuation. Buyers are in control. This Week’s View: Focus on buying near-term targets at $372x and $373x, but stay alert to macro news. Trading Setups (with strict risk management): Buy Scalp: $3671–$3669 | SL: $3666 | TP: $3674–$3694 Buy Zone: $3657–$3659 | SL: $3647 | TP: $3669–$3709 Sell Scalp: $3713–$3715 | SL: $3719 | TP: $3705–$3785 Sell Zone: $3731–$3733 | SL: $3741 | TP: $3723–$3683 Will gold shine brighter and set another all-time high?

Part 8 Trading Master Class1. Introduction to Option Trading Financial markets are constantly evolving, offering traders and investors a wide variety of tools to manage risk, speculate on price movements, or generate income. One of the most fascinating and versatile financial instruments is the option. Unlike buying a share of a company directly, which gives you ownership, an option gives you rights, not obligations. This small distinction makes options powerful. They can amplify profits, reduce risks, and allow traders to play multiple angles of the market. Option trading might sound complicated at first, but once you understand the foundation, it’s like learning a new language – everything starts connecting. 2. The Basics: What Are Options? An option is a contract between two parties – a buyer and a seller – that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a set time frame. The underlying asset could be a stock, an index, a commodity (like gold or crude oil), or even currencies. The predetermined price is called the strike price. The time frame is defined by the expiry date. In simple words: Options are like a reservation ticket. You pay a small amount now (premium) to lock in the ability to buy/sell later, but you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. 3. Types of Options: Call and Put There are two main types: Call Option: Gives the buyer the right to buy the underlying asset at the strike price. Example: You buy a call option for Reliance at ₹2500. If Reliance goes to ₹2700, you can still buy it at ₹2500, making profit. Put Option: Gives the buyer the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price. Example: You buy a put option for Infosys at ₹1500. If Infosys falls to ₹1300, you can still sell it at ₹1500. Think of calls as a bet on prices going up, and puts as a bet on prices going down. 4. Key Terminologies in Options To understand option trading, you must master its unique vocabulary: Strike Price: The pre-agreed price at which you can buy/sell the underlying. Expiry Date: The date on which the option contract expires. Premium: The price you pay to buy the option. In-the-Money (ITM): Option has intrinsic value. (E.g., stock is above strike for calls, below strike for puts). Out-of-the-Money (OTM): Option has no intrinsic value. At-the-Money (ATM): Stock price and strike price are nearly the same. Option Writer: The seller of the option, who takes the opposite side. Lot Size: The minimum quantity you can trade in an option contract.

XAU/USD – Captain Vincent Weekly Plan🔎 Captain’s Log – Context 📈 Main Trend : Strong uptrend after BoS. 📊 Price moving sideways within the rising channel, staying below Weak High 3674 . 📌 EMA 50 > EMA 200 → bullish trend remains solid. 🎯 Captain’s Map – Trading Scenarios 1️⃣ Golden Harbor (BUY – Main Priority) 🎯 Entry: FVG Dock: 3602 – 3593 FVG Deep: 3567 – 3560 OB Harbor: 3535 – 3540 ⛔ SL: below 3520 ✅ TP1: 3674 (sweep Weak High) ✅ TP2: 3720 – 3740 2️⃣ Quick Boarding (Short-term SELL – Counter-trend) Condition: If price breaks 3674 first → watch for false break. 🎯 Entry: 3670 – 3680 ✅ TP: back to 3602 – 3567 ⚠️ Note : scalp only, don’t hold long. 3️⃣ Storm Breaker Alert (Bearish Scenario) If 3535 breaks → short-term uptrend invalidated. 🎯 Bearish target: 3480 – 3500 Captain’s Note ⚓ “The golden sail still catches the wind after BoS, leading the captain and crew on the bullish tide. Golden Harbor 🏝️ (3593 – 3560 – 3535) remains the preferred docking point to load cargo and continue the voyage. Quick Boarding 🚤 at Storm Breaker 🌊 (3670 – 3680) is only a short ride when the ship sweeps liquidity at Weak High 3674 . Should 3535 break, the ship might be dragged toward 3480 – 3500, but as long as it anchors at Golden Harbor, the grand journey still heads north toward 3720+.”

GOLD – Breakout / Swept High – Where to BUY?1. Market Overview Gold prices are consolidating around 3655 – 3660 after showing a short-term bearish structure. On the H1 chart, we can see clear supply and demand zones: • Liquidity Buy Zone near 3640 (potential demand area). • Imbalance / Supply Zone around 3670 – 3680. The broader higher-timeframe trend is still bullish, but in the near term the market is retesting liquidity levels. ________________________________________ 2. Key Levels & Zones • Liquidity Buy Zone: 3640 – 3645 → important support. • Sell Scalp Zone / Imbalance: 3670 – 3680 → short-term resistance. • Higher High Target (HH): 3700 – 3710 → strong higher-timeframe resistance. • Long-term Support: 3620 – 3630. ________________________________________ 3. Main Trading Scenarios 🟢 Long Setup (with trend) • Wait for price to revisit the Liquidity Buy Zone (3640 – 3645). • If bullish reversal signals appear (pin bar, engulfing candle, etc.), consider entering a Long position. 🎯 Targets: • Short-term: 3678 (trendline break retest). • Mid-term: 3700 – 3710 (higher high). 🔴 Short Setup (scalp only) • If price pushes into the Sell Scalp Zone (3670 – 3680) and faces strong rejection → take a Short scalp. • 🎯 Target: 3640 – 3645. ⚠ Note: Shorts go against the main bullish trend, so they should be managed quickly and not held for long. ________________________________________ 4. Trade Management Notes • Focus on Long trades near support, as higher timeframe bias is still bullish. • Short positions should only be taken as scalp setups near resistance. • Risk control: limit risk to 1–2% per trade, avoid holding trades against the main trend. ________________________________________ 📌 Conclusion Gold (XAUUSD) is currently testing the descending trendline and resistance zone. • A successful breakout may lead price towards 3700+. • Otherwise, the market is likely to dip back into 3640 before starting the next bullish leg.

Gold 1H – Risk of Premium Sweeps Before ReversalOn the 1H timeframe, gold is consolidating after consecutive BOS and ChoCH signals, showing rejection from premium levels. The market is oscillating between the fresh FVG sell zone at 3,673–3,671 and the deep discount support at 3,634–3,636. Liquidity remains positioned above 3,705 and below 3,632, keeping scope for engineered sweeps before a clearer directional move emerges. ________________________________________ 📌 Key Structure & Liquidity Zones (1H): • 🔴 FVG SELL ZONE 3,673 – 3,671 (SL 3,680) Premium intraday pocket for rejection, targeting 3,660 → 3,650 → 3,640. • 🔴 SELL GOLD LIQUIDITY 3,705 – 3,703 (SL 3,712) Major premium liquidity trap, likely to precede continuation lower towards 3,690 → 3,675 → 3,660. • 🟢 BUY GOLD SUPPORT 3,634 – 3,636 (SL 3,627) Discount demand zone, aiming for recovery towards 3,645 → 3,660 → 3,670 if defended. ________________________________________ 📊 Trading Ideas (Scenario-Based): 🔻 Sell Setup – FVG Rejection (3,673–3,671) • Entry: 3,673 – 3,671 • Stop Loss: 3,680 • Targets:  TP1: 3,660  TP2: 3,650  TP3: 3,640 👉 Expect engineered liquidity grab into the FVG before downside extension. 🔻 Sell Setup – Premium Liquidity Sweep (3,705–3,703) • Entry: 3,705 – 3,703 • Stop Loss: 3,712 • Targets:  TP1: 3,690  TP2: 3,675  TP3: 3,660 👉 Smart money may sweep highs near 3,705 before resuming bearish leg. 🔺 Buy Setup – Discount Reversal (3,634–3,636) • Entry: 3,634 – 3,636 • Stop Loss: 3,627 • Targets:  TP1: 3,645  TP2: 3,660  TP3: 3,670 👉 High risk-reward opportunity if gold defends discount demand; suitable for counter-trend scalps. ________________________________________ 🔑 Strategy Note Gold remains under pressure below 3,673–3,705, favouring short setups into premium sweeps. However, close attention is needed at 3,634–3,636, as buyers may attempt to accumulate and reclaim structure. Best practice: trade smaller lots until the New York session provides confirmation of direction.

Gas fuelling in for an expiry rally! Observations: • Price broke down below the horizontal support zone (~$3.12–$3.13), but the candles show strong rejection wicks which indicats sign of bear trap. • Bears tried to push below support, but volume did not confirm sustained selling. • RSI (bottom panel) is in a deeply oversold region and attempting to curl back up with a momentum shift possible. • Previous swing lows around $3.10–$3.12 held, confirming demand. Buy: • Entry Zone (Buy): $3.12 – $3.15 (current levels) • Stop Loss: Below $3.05 (decisive breakdown level) • Targets: • T1: $3.22 • T2: $3.28 • T3: $3.34–$3.38 (major resistance supply zone) Logic: • The false breakdown below $3.12 triggered short positions (bears trapped). • If price sustains above $3.12–$3.15, trapped shorts may cover, fueling an upside bounce. • Risk–reward here is favorable since SL is tight (~10 cents risk for 20–25+ cents potential gain).

Gold Demand Zone Holding – Upside Potential Toward 3710!Gold is currently testing a demand zone around 3640–3650 , which aligns well with moving average support. As long as this zone holds, price action favors a potential bounce toward the falling trendline and eventually the key resistance area near 3710 . Short-term buyers may look for confirmation inside the demand zone before positioning, while a breakdown below 3614 would invalidate this setup.

XAUUSD Forecast – Gold Price Action and Market InsightsXAUUSD Forecast – Gold Price Action and Market Insights Gold is showing signs of stabilization after recent fluctuations, with price consolidating around the mid-range levels. The chart highlights repeated sequences of structural breaks and shifts, indicating that liquidity has been actively swept on both the buy and sell side. The latest market move shows a controlled decline, followed by an attempt to absorb selling pressure. Current positioning suggests the possibility of a short-term liquidity grab to the downside, which could fuel a stronger recovery leg in the sessions ahead. The projected outlook favors a scenario where buyers regain momentum, aiming to retest the upper price zones. If this momentum develops, the market may establish a renewed upward leg in alignment with the broader bullish cycle observed across higher timeframes. From a macro perspective, gold continues to be supported by demand for safe-haven assets amid ongoing global financial uncertainty and shifting monetary policies. This backdrop enhances the probability of gold sustaining its mid-term bullish trajectory despite temporary corrective phases.

Today's Gold Price: Short at HighsToday's Gold Price: Short at Highs In the coming days, every rise in gold prices will be an opportunity for selling pressure, so consider shorting at high levels whenever possible. As shown in Figure 2h: 1: Gold prices are testing macroeconomic support levels, with the strongest support currently in the 3635-3640 range. 2: Once this range is broken, gold prices will continue to fluctuate downward, testing support in the 3600-3620 range. 3: Due to a lack of policy and news stimulus, gold prices are unlikely to break new highs again this week. 4: Friday's trend will continue to fluctuate, with the range between 3620-3675. 5: Based on key support and resistance levels, the trading strategy is: short at highs and long at lows. 6: Support + Resistance Levels: 3600/3620/3635/3650/3660/3675/3700 7: Macro Trading Strategy: Buy: 3620-3635 Stop Loss: 3615 Target: 3660 Sell: 3660-3675 Stop Loss: 3680 Target: 3620 8: Every subsequent rise in gold prices is likely the result of selling pressure. Therefore, whenever gold prices rise, shorting at high levels and following the trend is the most reliable strategy this Friday.

Gold holds firm at 3,63x | Caution for Friday session🟡 XAU/USD – 19/09 | Captain Vincent ⚓ 🔎 Captain’s Log – Market Context FED : Probability of a 25bps cut in October is 91.9%, while holding rates is only 8.9% → almost certain FED will continue easing. US News : No major data today, market remains quiet. Gold : Sharp moves in Asia session, but support 3,632 – 3,630 held strong. Yesterday’s Buy at 3,62x delivered 200 pips , confirming this zone as a “fortress” support. Note : Today is Friday – end of the week session, unexpected volatility may occur before the weekly close → strict risk management required. ⏩ Captain’s Summary : Gold remains bullish, but caution is needed with end-of-week swings. Golden Harbor around 3,63x continues to be a solid anchor. 📈 Captain’s Chart – Technical Analysis Storm Breaker (Resistance / Sell Zone) 3,661 – 3,663 (intraday resistance) 3,683 – 3,685 (strong OB, likely profit-taking zone) Golden Harbor (Support / Buy Zone) 3,602 – 3,605 (FVG zone – deeper support if 3,63x breaks, waiting for strong demand) Market Structure After rebounding from 3,62x, Gold consolidated around 3,65x – 3,66x. Main trend stays bullish, but needs support retest to confirm buyers’ strength. 3,66x is the pivot barrier: • Breakout → targets 3,68x • Rejection → retest 3,64x – 3,62x 🎯 Captain’s Map – Trade Plan ✅ Buy (priority) Entry: 3,602 – 3,605 SL: 3,588 TP: 3,629 – 3,661 – 3,683 ⚡ Sell (short scalp) Entry: 3,683 – 3,685 SL: 3,695 TP: 3,665 – 3,645 ⚓ Captain’s Note “The 3,63x fortress continues to hold, keeping the Golden ship safe on its northward journey. Golden Harbor 🏝️ (3,602 – 3,605) remains the main dock for sailors to gather strength. Storm Breaker 🌊 (3,683 – 3,685) may raise waves, suitable for short Quick Boarding 🚤 .

XAUUSD: Sideway Trading Opportunity Before Further Decline?Hello, fellow traders! Today, we will analyze XAUUSD and identify a great trading opportunity in the sideway trend before gold could potentially continue its downward adjustment. Yesterday, although the Fed cut interest rates to 4.25% as expected (4.25% compared to 4.50% previously) , the cut did not exceed expectations, reducing the outlook for further policy easing. The USD may no longer weaken , putting downward pressure on gold. In addition, the unemployment claims data came in lower than forecast (231K vs. 241K) , indicating a strong labor market, which will support the USD. When the USD strengthens, gold typically faces downward pressure, meaning gold prices could fall further if the USD continues to strengthen. Gold is facing strong resistance at 3,700 , showing signs of a decline. The 3,660 zone is a key rebound level, and if support at 3,600 is not broken, gold could trade sideways before continuing the downward trend. Low trading volume and flow of funds suggest that the sideway trend could continue in the short term. Don’t forget, our trading strategy needs to be flexible, seizing opportunities, and never missing any market changes.

Gold Dips After Fed Meeting: What's Next for the Market?Hey traders! After a super volatile session, gold prices took a hit yesterday (September 18). The precious metal dropped 0.4% to $3,643.40/oz, while futures contracts lost 1.1% to $3,678.30/oz. This comes right after gold hit a new record of $3,707.40/oz in the previous session. Is this a signal for a major correction or just a bit of profit-taking? Let's break it down! Fundamental Analysis: The Market 'Digests' the Fed's Message While the Fed did cut rates by 0.25% as expected, the message from the meeting wasn't entirely 'dovish'. Fed Chair Jerome Powell raised doubts about the pace of future policy easing. He stressed that the rate cut was just a "risk management" move to address a weakening labor market, not a firm promise for aggressive easing. USD Recovers: The Fed's cautious stance helped the USD index gain 0.5%, making gold more expensive for holders of other currencies. Long-Term Drivers Still Strong: Despite the short-term dip, experts remain bullish on gold. The core drivers for its rally are still in place: BRIC Central Bank Buying: Central banks, especially from China, continue to diversify their reserves, moving away from the USD. Safe-Haven Demand: Ongoing geopolitical and trade tensions are still a key reason for investors to flock to gold. Swiss Data Confirms: Data shows that gold exports from Switzerland to China jumped 254% in August 2025 compared to July, which proves that real demand is super strong. Technical Analysis: Unpredictable Volatility After the FOMC meeting, gold was all over the place, breaking through resistance and support levels in a flash. The market is reacting more to macro news than to technical patterns right now. Resistance: $3671, $3686, $3694 Support: $3647, $3632, $3612, $3598 Outlook: Today, we should still prefer long positions if gold stays above the $365x level. However, if gold closes a candle below $364x during the US session, be cautious and consider a switch to sell positions. Suggested Trading Strategy (Use Strict Risk Management): SELL ZONE Zone: $3686 - $3688 SL: $3696 TP: $3678 - $3668 - $3658 - $3648 - $3638 BUY ZONE Zone: $3616 - $3614 SL: $3606 TP: $3624 - $3634 - $3644 - $3654 - $3664 The market is super sensitive to news right now. Always be careful and don't overtrade. Do you think this is a buying opportunity or a time to step back?

GOLD - Breakout / Swept High appear - Where to BUY ? 🟡 OANDA:XAUUSD XAUUSD Daily Plan – September 19, 2025 1. Market Overview Price is consolidating around 3655 – 3660 after forming a short-term bearish structure. On H1, several supply & demand zones are highlighted: Liquidity Buy Zone around 3640 (potential demand). Imbalance / Supply Zone around 3670 – 3680. The overall higher-timeframe trend remains bullish, but in the short term, the market is retesting liquidity areas. 2. Key Levels & Zones Liquidity Buy Zone: 3640 – 3645 → key support. Sell Scalp Zone / Imbalance: 3670 – 3680 → short-term resistance. Higher High Target (HH): 3700 – 3710 → strong higher-timeframe resistance. Longer-term Support: 3620 – 3630. 3. Main Trading Scenarios 🟢 Long Setup (trend-aligned) Wait for price to retest Liquidity Buy zone 3640 – 3645. If reversal signals appear (pin bar, engulfing, etc.), consider opening Long. Targets: Short-term: 3678 (trendline break retest). Mid-term: 3700 – 3710 (HH). 🔴 Short Setup (scalp only) If price retraces into Sell Scalp Zone 3670 – 3680 and shows strong rejection → Short scalp opportunity. Target: 3640 – 3645. Note: Short trades are counter-trend, so manage quickly. 4. Trade Management Notes Prioritize Longs from support zones since the higher-timeframe trend is still bullish. Shorts should only be seen as short-term scalp opportunities near resistance. Risk management: limit to 1–2% per trade, avoid holding against the main trend. 📌 Conclusion: XAUUSD is currently testing the descending trendline and resistance area. A successful breakout could target 3700+. Otherwise, the market is likely to revisit 3640 before launching the next bullish leg.

Part 2 Support and ResistanceHow Options Work Options allow traders to speculate or hedge in different market conditions. For example: Buying a Call Option: If an investor expects a stock’s price to rise, they can buy a call option. If the stock price exceeds the strike price, the option holder can either sell the option at a profit or exercise it to buy the stock at a lower price. Buying a Put Option: If an investor anticipates a decline in the stock price, they can buy a put option. If the stock price falls below the strike price, the option holder can sell the stock at a higher-than-market price or sell the option for a profit. Options can also be sold/written, allowing traders to earn the premium as income. However, selling options carries significant risk because the seller may have unlimited loss potential if the market moves against them. Options Pricing and Valuation The value of an option is influenced by intrinsic value and time value: Intrinsic Value: The difference between the underlying asset’s current price and the strike price. For example: Call Option: Intrinsic Value = Max(0, Current Price – Strike Price) Put Option: Intrinsic Value = Max(0, Strike Price – Current Price) Time Value: The portion of the premium that accounts for the time remaining until expiry and the expected volatility of the underlying asset. Options with more time until expiration generally have higher premiums because there’s a greater chance for the underlying asset to move favorably. Additionally, models such as the Black-Scholes model are used by traders and institutions to estimate theoretical option prices, considering factors like the underlying price, strike price, time to expiration, volatility, and interest rates. Benefits of Options Trading Options trading offers several advantages compared to traditional stock trading: Leverage: Options allow investors to control a large number of shares with a relatively small investment. This amplifies potential gains (and losses). Flexibility: Traders can use options to speculate, hedge, or generate income, offering multiple strategic possibilities. Risk Management: Options can act as insurance for existing positions. For instance, buying a put option can protect a stock holding from a sharp decline. Profit in Any Market Condition: Options strategies can be designed to profit in bullish, bearish, or even neutral markets.

XAUUSD – Correction Target on H4Technical Analysis After reacting at the Sell Zone – FVG around 3,670, Gold could not sustain the upward momentum and is now showing signs of weakness. The H4 structure indicates that the correction phase is extending, with price likely to retest key support areas below. On the chart, the support zones at 3,633–3,632 and 3,626 are acting as intermediate levels. If these zones fail to hold, selling pressure may push price deeper towards 3,614–3,612, before testing the major support confluence with Fibonacci extension and the potential Buy Zone at 3,579–3,560. The RSI is currently hovering around 45–50, suggesting momentum is tilted towards a corrective move rather than a strong uptrend. Trading Scenarios SELL Setup (preferred): Entry: on a retest of the 3,665–3,670 Sell Zone SL: above 3,675 Targets: 3,633–3,632-3,626-3,614–3,612-3,579–3,560 BUY Setup (short-term / scalping): Entry: consider buys around 3,626–3,625 support SL: below 3,618 Targets:3,633-3,645-3,650 Key Levels to Watch 3,670: Sell Zone – confluence with FVG post-FOMC. 3,633–3,626: Short-term support; a break below confirms extended bearish pressure. 3,612: Key level for deciding near-term direction. 3,579–3,560: Potential Buy Zone and main corrective target on H4. Traders may keep these levels on watch and align positions accordingly. Follow for quicker access to future updates.

XAUUSD – Main Trend: SELL for TodayXAUUSD – Main Trend: SELL for Today Technical View In yesterday’s session, Gold reacted three times around the 363x zone but could not break it decisively. This shows the support here is still important, yet selling pressure has been quite strong and continuous. This morning, the bounce almost absorbed the liquidity of the earlier H1 bearish candle, and price is now in a short-term pullback. The POC from the Volume Profile of the accumulation area has not been fully tested, so there is high probability that price will come back to check that zone before moving with the broader trend. Overall, considering the technical factors, the main bias for today remains SELL, especially when price approaches key supply zones. Trade Set-ups SELL (preferred): Entry: 3667–3670 SL: 3675 TP1: 3655 TP2: 3640 TP3: 3626 TP4: 3610 BUY (short-term counter move): Entry: 3613–3615 SL: 3608 TP1: 3625 TP2: 3633 TP3: 3645 TP4: 3660 Key Price Levels 3670: Crucial resistance, aligned with POC – SELL bias is preferred here. 363x: Strong support, tested many times; if it breaks, downside pressure may get stronger. 3610–3615: Demand zone, could give a small pullback.

Elliott Wave Analysis XAUUSD – September 19, 2025 Momentum • D1 timeframe: Momentum is currently declining, suggesting that the downtrend may continue until momentum enters the oversold zone. This process could take at least 2 daily candles, including the current one. • H4 timeframe: Momentum is turning upward, but repeated reversals at the oversold zone, along with overlapping price action, indicate that the market is in a complex corrective phase. • H1 timeframe: Momentum has already turned upward, with 3 H1 bullish candles formed. It is expected that within 1–2 more candles, momentum will likely reach the overbought zone. Wave Structure • D1 timeframe: The 5-wave black structure has been completed. The current correction is expected to last longer compared to the previous WXY triangle correction. • H4 timeframe: Wave counting is complicated due to overlapping price movements. With momentum now recovering, wave B is likely unfolding, which will then be followed by the completion of wave C. • H1 timeframe: A temporary channel can be drawn to observe price behavior. The market is likely in wave B (black), forming a Flat structure (ABC in blue). Wave C (blue) is projected to equal wave A (blue) at the 3667 level. This price zone also coincides with the boundary between high and low liquidity areas on the Volume Profile, making it a strong resistance zone for potential short entries. Trading Plan • Sell Zone: 3667 – 3670 • SL: 3680 • TP: 3644
