XAUUSD 09/24 – Scenario after the Fed's Key SpeechHello everyone, Gold continues its upward momentum in recent sessions. Yesterday, the price touched the 1.618 Fibonacci level on the H4 chart and then declined, indicating a slight rejection right after the PMI news. Technical Perspective The Wolfe Waves structure remains intact, not yet broken. If the price returns inside the trendline, the signal confirming the Wolfe pattern will become clearer. Current key resistance area: 3790 – 3825, coinciding with Fibonacci 361.8. Noteworthy short-term support area: 3650 – 3647. Fundamental Perspective In yesterday's speech, Chairman Powell emphasised: “If monetary policy is eased too quickly, efforts to curb inflation will fail.” This indicates that the Fed continues to prioritise price stability over the market's expectations for rate cuts. This is a factor to consider when trading gold in the current phase. Today's Trading Scenario Sell Setup Entry: 3825 – 3827 SL: 3833 TP: 3810 – 3790 – 3768 – 3755 Buy Setup Entry: 3650 – 3647 SL: 3642 TP: 3672 – 3688 – 3695 – 3710 – 3750 Summary In the short term, gold is in a correction phase after hitting resistance. Prioritise observing signals around 3790 – 3825 to find Sell opportunities, while 3650 is a notable buying point for a recovery scenario. This is today's XAUUSD trading scenario according to the Wolfe Waves model. You can refer to and adjust according to your personal strategy. Follow me for the latest analyses as the market changes. Wishing you successful trading!

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.

Gold 1H – Inflation Worries & Risk Sentiment Guide MovesGold on the 1H chart is hovering near 3,753 after multiple BOS confirmations, holding a firm bullish bias yet approaching premium resistance. Liquidity sits above 3,787–3,785, while fresh demand zones are placed at 3,725–3,723 and deeper at 3,688–3,686. Today’s narrative around sticky U.S. inflation expectations and renewed geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe is boosting safe-haven appetite. Still, intraday price action suggests possible liquidity sweeps into resistance before price retraces back towards demand zones. ________________________________________ 📌 Key Structure & Liquidity Zones (1H): • 🔴 SELL SCALP 3,787–3,785 (SL 3,794): Premium resistance where liquidity runs may spark short-term selling towards 3,780 → 3,775 → 3,770. • 🟢 BUY ZONE 3,725–3,723 (SL 3,718): Pullback demand aligned with structure, favouring longs towards 3,740 → 3,755 → 3,770+. • 🟢 BUY ZONE 3,688–3,686 (SL 3,680): Deeper discount demand area, attractive for positional buys targeting 3,700 → 3,715 → 3,730+. ________________________________________ 📊 Trading Ideas (Scenario-Based): 🔺 Buy Setup – Pullback Demand (3,725–3,723) • Entry: 3,725–3,723 • Stop Loss: 3,718 • Targets:  TP1: 3,740  TP2: 3,755  TP3: 3,770+ 🔺 Buy Setup – Discount Demand (3,688–3,686) • Entry: 3,688–3,686 • Stop Loss: 3,680 • Targets:  TP1: 3,700  TP2: 3,715  TP3: 3,730+ 🔻 Sell Setup – Liquidity Sweep (3,787–3,785) • Entry: 3,787–3,785 • Stop Loss: 3,794 • Targets:  TP1: 3,780  TP2: 3,775  TP3: 3,770 ________________________________________ 🔑 Strategy Note Rising inflation concerns and safe-haven flows from geopolitical risks are keeping gold buyers in play. However, smart money could drive engineered stop-hunts near premium resistance before retracements set in. The bias remains buy-on-dips around key supports, while short-term scalps against liquidity sweeps near 3,787–3,785 should be approached with caution. Volatility is expected as markets digest U.S. inflation updates and risk headlines.

Gold Sets New Record: Rate Hopes Driving Price HigherHello, traders! Gold surged to a record high of $3,726.19/oz on September 22, fuelled by growing investor expectations for a clearer Fed rate-cutting path. Traders are now betting on two more rate cuts this year with a very high probability. The growth drivers have shifted from being primarily central bank and Asian demand to now include strong buying from Western investors, as shown by increased holdings in gold ETFs. Upcoming speeches from Fed officials and the core PCE inflation data this week will be key in determining the market's next direction. Technical Analysis & Strategy Gold is in a strong uptrend and is continuously setting new highs. While there was a minor correction, the bullish momentum remains intact. Shorting near resistance levels is highly risky. Outlook: Continue to prioritize Buy positions if gold holds above $370x. Resistance: $3785, $3794, $3804 Support: $3774, $3764, $3754 Suggested Trading Strategy: Buy Scalp: Zone $3765 - $3763, SL $3759 Buy Zone: Zone $3754 - $3752, SL $3744 Sell Zone: Zone $3800 - $3802, SL $3810 The market is highly volatile. Do you think gold can hit the $3,800 mark this week? Share your thoughts! 👇 #Gold #XAUUSD #Fed #GoldAnalysis #TradingView #InterestRates #Inflation #ATH

Gold Rebounds Within Upward Channel – Eyes on $3,700+Gold (XAUUSD) is holding inside its upward channel on the 1H timeframe, bouncing strongly off the lower boundary near $3,640. The bullish structure remains intact as long as price respects channel support, keeping $3,700+ in play. Technical Setup: Price continues to trend within a rising channel since early September. The recent dip tested the lower band near $3,640, where buyers stepped back in. Current price action shows momentum building toward the channel midpoint (~$3,680). A decisive breakout above $3,685–3,700 could trigger further upside toward $3,720–3,740. Key Levels to Watch: Support: $3,640, $3,610, $3,600 Resistance: $3,685, $3,700, $3,720–3,740 Takeaway: Gold’s trend remains bullish while holding above $3,640. A push above $3,700 confirms bullish continuation toward $3,720–3,740. A close below $3,640 shifts bias bearish toward $3,600. #Gold #XAUUSD #Commodities #TradingStrategy

XAUUSD – Pressure at the 3777 zone, adjustment scenario and trenXAUUSD – Pressure at the 3777 zone, adjustment scenario and trend-following buy Technical Analysis After a strong rally, gold (XAUUSD) is now approaching the resistance zone of 3777–3780, where it converges with the Fibonacci expansion cluster and the old resistance structure. This is a price zone prone to short-term selling pressure and is a decisive point for the next trend. EMA200 (H1: 3685) is still clearly sloping upwards → the main trend remains bullish, but the market is in a state of range expansion, with the possibility of a correction before continuing upward. RSI (14) is currently oscillating around 57–60, indicating that the upward momentum has cooled, not yet entering the overbought zone but posing a risk of divergence if the price forms a new peak without accompanying momentum. The Volume Profile levels and support zones 3738–3740 / 3719–3722 / 3661–3665 will be where buyers can react to protect the main trend. Trading Scenarios Scenario 1 – Sell adjustment at resistance zone: Entry: 3777–3780 SL: 3784 TP: 3755 – 3742 – 3730 – 3705 Scenario 2 – Short-term Buy scalping: Entry: 3738–3740 SL: 3734 TP: 3747 – 3755 – 3770 Scenario 3 – Trend-following Buy (preferred when deep correction): Entry: 3719–3722 SL: 3715 TP: 3728 – 3740 – 3765 – 3780 Price Zones to Watch 3777–3780: important resistance, potential Sell zone. 3738–3740: near support, suitable for Buy scalping. 3719–3722: main Buy zone for recovery, confluence with support structure. 3705: deep support, target if correction trend expands. Outlook The major trend for gold still leans towards bullish, however, the 3777–3780 zone currently plays a decisive role. Sellers can take advantage of short-term Sell to catch the correction, while buyers should wait for the price to retreat to support zones to enter trend-following orders. This is a reference scenario based on technical analysis, not an investment recommendation. Stay tuned for earlier analyses and prepare well for your trading plan.

PCR Trading Strategies1. Strategic Approaches to Options Trading Options strategies can be simple or complex, depending on the trader’s risk tolerance, market outlook, and capital. These strategies are categorized into basic, intermediate, and advanced levels. 1.1. Basic Strategies Buying Calls and Puts: Simple directional trades. Protective Puts: Hedging against portfolio declines. Covered Calls: Generating income from existing holdings. 1.2. Intermediate Strategies Spreads: Simultaneous buying and selling of options to limit risk and reward. Vertical Spread: Buying and selling options of the same type with different strike prices. Horizontal/Calendar Spread: Exploiting differences in time decay by using options of the same strike but different expiration dates. Diagonal Spread: Combining vertical and horizontal spreads for strategic positioning. Collars: Combining protective puts and covered calls to limit both upside and downside. 1.3. Advanced Strategies Iron Condor: Selling an out-of-the-money call and put while buying further OTM options to limit risk, profiting from low volatility. Butterfly Spread: Exploiting low volatility by using three strike prices to maximize gains near the middle strike. Ratio Spreads and Backspreads: Advanced plays to profit from skewed market expectations or strong directional moves. 2. Identifying Option Trading Opportunities Successful options trading requires analyzing market conditions, volatility, and liquidity. Key factors include: 2.1. Market Direction and Momentum Use technical indicators (moving averages, RSI, MACD) to gauge trends. Trade options in alignment with market momentum for directional strategies. 2.2. Volatility Analysis Historical Volatility (HV): Measures past price fluctuations. Implied Volatility (IV): Market’s expectation of future volatility. Opportunities arise when IV is underpriced (buy options) or overpriced (sell options). 2.3. Earnings and Event Plays Companies’ earnings announcements, product launches, or macroeconomic events create volatility spikes. Strategies like straddles or strangles are ideal to capitalize on such events. 2.4. Liquidity and Open Interest Highly liquid options ensure tight spreads and efficient entry/exit. Monitoring open interest helps identify support/resistance levels and market sentiment. 3. Risk Management in Options Trading While options offer significant opportunities, risk management is crucial: Position Sizing: Limit exposure to a small percentage of capital. Defined-Risk Strategies: Use spreads and collars to control maximum loss. Stop-Loss Orders: Protect against rapid adverse movements. Diversification: Trade multiple assets or strategies to reduce concentration risk. Implied Volatility Awareness: Avoid buying expensive options during volatility spikes unless justified by market events.

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.

XAUUSD –Today’s Trading Outlook | Sell Fill Liquidity & Buy Zone Hello traders, In the recent sessions, gold has continued to show strong volatility around important liquidity zones and support–resistance levels. The current structure indicates that sellers remain in control in the short term, while buyers are expected to return only if price reaches deeper support areas. Technical View Main Resistance: 3670 – 3680, aligning with the FVG zone → key area for Sell to Fill Liquidity. Short-term Support: 3630 – 3627. A break below could open the way for a deeper decline. Buy Scalping Zones: 3613 – 3615 and 3595 – 3598, suitable for quick intraday longs. Medium-term Buy Zone: 3600 – 3590, confluence with strong liquidity zone and major support. MACD Indicator: leaning bearish, with a negative histogram, showing selling pressure still dominant. Trading Scenarios Sell Setup (priority) Sell Liquidity Zone: 3670 – 3680 SL: 3685 TP: 3650 – 3635 – 3627 – 3615 – 3600 Buy Scalping Buy Zone 1: 3613 – 3615 | SL: 3608 | TP: 3625 – 3638 – 3645 Buy Zone 2: 3595 – 3598 | SL: 3590 | TP: 3610 – 3625 – 3638 – 3645 – 3670 Medium-term Buy Zone: 3600 – 3590 SL: 3584 Extended TP: 3633 – 3660 – 3675 Conclusion In the short term, gold is likely to retest the upper liquidity zone before continuing with further declines. Sellers remain in control for now, but deeper support zones will provide potential entry levels for medium-term buyers. Keep a close watch on these key levels and align your trades with your personal strategy. Follow along to get the earliest updates whenever market structure changes.

Bullish Momentum Intact: Watching R2 for continuation or pause Gold continued its upside momentum after a clean breakout above the previous week’s high, leading to a strong one-way rally towards the weekly R2 level at 3754. At the moment, price is holding well above the rising trendline, showing no signs of major rejection or reversal. The immediate resistance remains at weekly R2, and a sustained break above this level could open the door for a move towards weekly R3 around 3800. The overall structure is still bullish, with higher highs and higher lows firmly intact. For any meaningful correction to take place, price would first need to break below the rising trendline. A deeper retracement would require price to trade back under the previous week’s high, which would then shift the short-term bias toward the weekly pivot zone near 3672. Until then, dips are likely to be seen as buying opportunities.

Go long on gold, but be wary of potential declines.Go long on gold, but be wary of potential declines. Spot gold prices have hit consecutive record highs in the past hour. This strong rally is primarily driven by the following factors: 1: The market currently prices a 91.9% probability of another Fed rate cut in October. This expectation will depress the US dollar and real yields, thereby increasing gold's appeal. 2: Friday's release of US core PCE inflation data will be a key factor. If the data shows slowing inflation, it will further reinforce expectations of rate cuts, which will benefit gold. Key Support: Safe-Haven Demand: Ongoing geopolitical risks and global economic uncertainty are driving investors to allocate gold as a safe-haven asset. Currency Market Signals: Gold's rise is primarily driven by demand from central banks and Asia, while Western investors are also increasing their gold holdings through channels such as gold ETFs. Simply put, the current gold market presents a situation where "long-term logic is sound" and "short-term technical overbought" coexist. Key Strategy: Follow the trend, but be wary of pullbacks. The current market trend is bullish, so the strategy should primarily focus on buying dips, avoiding blindly speculating on tops and shorting. However, we must also be prepared for possible technical pullbacks. Buy on Dips (Primary Strategy) This strategy is suitable for entering the market when gold prices moderately retreat from their highs and find support before rising again. Timing of Entry: Best entry: When prices retreat to the $3705-3710 area (strong support during the Asian and European trading sessions) and a bullish candlestick pattern (such as a hammer or bullish engulfing candlestick pattern) appears on the 5-minute or 15-minute chart. Second option: Enter after a strong breakout above the previous intraday high (such as $3726), and a minor pullback confirms this move. A more conservative option: Enter if prices experience a deep pullback to the more critical support level of $3685-3695 (the resistance-turned-support level broken yesterday), then stabilize and rebound. Stop-loss Setting: Set your stop-loss $5-8 below your entry price. For example, if you go long at $3710, set your stop-loss at $3702. The absolute bottom line: Stop-loss should not be set below $3673 (the bull-bear watershed). If it falls below, the short-term trend may weaken. Target Price Levels: First target: $3730-3735 (a new all-time high to attract buying). Second target: $3740-3750 (a psychological round number). Use a trailing stop: As the price moves in your favor, gradually raise your stop-loss to protect your profits. Data Risk: Friday's US core PCE price index is the biggest variable.

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.

Elliott Wave Analysis XAUUSD – September 18, 2025 Momentum • D1: Currently, D1 momentum is declining, therefore a downward move is likely to extend over the next 4–5 days. • H4: Momentum is falling, so today we may see further downside to push momentum into the oversold zone before a potential reversal. • H1: Momentum is still heading down, suggesting the bearish move is likely to continue. ________________________________________ Wave Structure • D1: With momentum turning lower, it is highly probable that wave v black has completed and price has entered a corrective ABC phase. If this is the case, the correction will likely last for at least more than one week. • H4: A 5-wave structure (1–2–3–4–5) within wave v black has been completed. The current decline could be wave A of the correction. We need to observe closely to confirm whether wave A is done. Note: during corrective phases, trading becomes more difficult; targets beyond 500 pips are rarely achieved as price tends to overlap. Toward the end of corrections, price often compresses and whipsaws both sides, so trade with smaller positions and manage risk carefully. • H1: o Scenario 1: Wave 1 of wave (5) black has formed, and the market is now in wave 2. This scenario is invalidated if price breaks below 3626. o Scenario 2: Wave v black has already completed with a 5-wave structure. Price is now in a larger corrective phase (i–ii–iii–iv–v black on the D1). In this case, the correction will likely last longer than previous waves ii and iv – an important guide to prepare for an extended bearish or sideways phase. On H1, the current drop is steep and impulsive, likely part of a 5-wave structure. The recovery was capped at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, which indicates: • If this is wave 4 of the decline, price will break below 3649, with wave 5 of A projected toward 3632 → Buy zone. • If price breaks above the minor high at the 38.2% Fibonacci level, it is more likely wave B of an ABC correction. In that case, the upside targets would be 3677 or 3694 → Sell zones. ⚠️ Note: Once price hits one target, the opposite entry setup will be canceled. ________________________________________ Trading Plan Buy Zone: • Entry: 3633 – 3630 • SL: 3620 • TP: 3649 Sell Zone 1: • Entry: 3676 – 3679 • SL: 3686 • TP: 3657 Sell Zone 2: • Entry: 3693 – 3696 • SL: 3703 • TP: 3677

Gold Price Action: Trendline Break but Bulls Still in ControlGold posted a fresh all-time high yesterday near 3790 before entering a healthy pullback phase after an extended intraday rally. The higher-timeframe structure remains constructive, with the market still maintaining its higher-highs and higher-lows sequence. However, price action has broken below the rising trendline support we discussed in yesterday’s update, signaling a short-term pause in momentum. At the moment, gold is consolidating just above R2 (3754), which continues to act as an important intraday support. For bulls to regain momentum and extend the rally, price needs to break above the declining red resistance trendline and sustain above the 3790–3800 zone. A breakout here could open the door for further upside continuation. On the other hand, a confirmed H4 close below 3750 could invite deeper profit-taking, with the 3700–3710 area (previous week’s high) remaining the key demand zone and primary downside support. Overall, the broader trend remains bullish, but price action is currently in a consolidation phase. Watching for either a breakout above resistance or a close below 3750 will provide clarity on the next directional move.
