GOLD 16/07 Minor Pullback Before PPI? Bears May Reclaim Control!GOLD 16/07 – Minor Pullback Before PPI? Bears May Reclaim Control! 🌍 Market Overview: Inflation Softens, But Risk Remains Gold is currently trading around $3,334 after a sharp correction earlier this week. While core US CPI data for June came in lower than expected, institutions like BlackRock are signaling concerns: The impact of new tariffs is only starting to show. Consumer prices on appliances and electronics are rising. As inventories shrink, businesses may pass on costs directly to consumers. ➡️ This reinforces Gold’s long-term value as a safe-haven asset, especially with rising macroeconomic risks and uncertainty around the Fed's next move. 📉 Technical Insight: Pullback or Trend Continuation? Yesterday’s CPI release triggered a sharp drop, pushing price back to the 332x zone. This created a Fair Value Gap (FVG) on the H1 chart. Around the 3347–3349 level, we see a Continuation Pattern (CP) forming, hinting that the main downtrend might resume after a temporary bounce. 💡 If price returns to the 334x–336x supply zones during the London or New York session, these will be critical SELL zones. Expect price to potentially target the FVG liquidity area below 329x if bears regain control. 📊 Key Trade Setups 🔵 BUY ZONE: 3,296 – 3,294 (Liquidity Trap Zone) SL: 3,290 TP: 3,300 → 3,304 → 3,308 → 3,312 → 3,316 → 3,320 → 3,330 🔴 SELL SCALP: 3,347 – 3,349 (CP Reaction Area) SL: 3,353 TP: 3,343 → 3,340 → 3,336 → 3,330 → 3,325 → 3,320 → 3,310 → 3,300 🚨 SELL ZONE: 3,358 – 3,360 (VPOC Zone) SL: 3,364 TP: 3,354 → 3,350 → 3,346 → 3,340 → 3,330 → 3,320 → 3,300 ⚠️ Strategy Note: With the PPI data release expected to move markets today, price may spike upward in early sessions. Watch closely for bearish rejection candles around CP and VPOC zones before entering. Use proper SL and TP levels to protect capital. 💬 What’s Your Outlook Today? Do you see gold breaking below 329x to fill deeper liquidity, or will macro risks support a fresh rally? 👇 Drop your thoughts and let’s discuss trade ideas in the comments!

Gold Faces Pressure as USD Strengthens – A Buying Opportunity?Gold prices have seen a slight decline today compared to yesterday’s trading session, fluctuating around 3,328 USD after losing over 43 USD in just one session. The main factors contributing to this drop are: -USD Strength: The USD Index rose by 0.56%, making gold more expensive for investors holding other currencies. -Rising U.S. Bond Yields: U.S. Treasury yields surged to nearly 4.5%, drawing money away from the gold market. -U.S. CPI for June: The CPI met expectations, easing inflation fears and reducing the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Despite the short-term pressure, investors remain hopeful that the Fed will cut interest rates in September, potentially providing a boost for gold. Personal assessment: While gold is currently in a correction phase, its long-term trend remains intact. This could be a buying opportunity if you believe in the upcoming monetary easing cycle. What do you think about gold’s price today? Let us know in the comments!

This Isn’t a Range It’s a Distribution Before Collapse.~ H4Gold is on the verge of a breakdown this isn’t speculation, it’s unfolding in real time. Price has failed repeatedly to reclaim the HVZ zone between $3370 and $3400 making it abundantly clear that this is not accumulation this is distribution. Every push into that zone has been systematically sold into, with no follow-through. The order flow confirms it: smart money is offloading, not positioning for upside. Unless we see a complete reclaim and hold above $3430 which looks increasingly improbable this remains a high-conviction sell zone. The key structural pivot now sits at $3290. Once that level cracks, we gonna see an aggressive move lower, especially with the weak bounce zones exhausted. The medium-strength support between $3310 –$3315 is the final shelf before a sharp drop. Don’t expect it to hold this level is soft and already tested. A breakdown from here activates the next major liquidity zone around $3188, which is where the real target lies. That level aligns with prior unmitigated demand, and price is magnetized toward it. This isn’t a market in balance it’s a trap. Gold is coiling for a clean flush. The structure, momentum, and broader flow all signal the same outcome: downside continuation. Until $3430 is reclaimed and held on a closing basis, all rallies into HVZ are shorting opportunities.

XAUUSD – Facing Strong Resistance, Pullback Risk IncreasesGold is approaching a major resistance zone that previously halted its upward momentum. Bullish momentum is fading, while the RSI shows signs of mild divergence. Market expectations around Federal Reserve policy, along with key data like CPI, unemployment rates, and geopolitical developments, are putting pressure on the precious metals market. Without a strong catalyst from upcoming news, gold may enter a short-term pullback phase before establishing its next major trend.

Gold Analysis and Trading Strategy | July 15✅ Fundamental Analysis 🔹Gold prices surged and then retreated yesterday, mainly due to risk-off sentiment triggered by Trump’s announcement of a potential 30% tariff on EU imports. However, this sentiment was offset by the EU’s softened stance, indicating that “negotiation is still possible.” Additionally, the strength in both the U.S. Dollar Index and Treasury yields added pressure on gold. 🔹Geopolitical risks continue to rise. The EU is preparing to impose retaliatory tariffs on €72 billion worth of U.S. goods, while Trump has threatened a 100% tariff on Russian products. The ongoing Russia–Ukraine conflict also has the potential to escalate further, adding underlying support for gold. 🔹Today, the U.S. CPI data will be released — a key event for market participants. A higher-than-expected CPI figure will likely reinforce expectations that the Fed will maintain high interest rates, which is bearish for gold. Conversely, a weaker-than-expected reading may boost rate-cut expectations and support gold prices. ✅ Technical Analysis 🔸Gold failed to break the key resistance at $3375. The daily candlestick closed with a long upper shadow and a bearish body, indicating strong selling pressure from above. The MACD is showing early signs of a bearish crossover, suggesting short-term weakness. 🔴 Key Resistance Levels: $3360–3365, $3375 (critical level) 🟢 Key Support Levels: $3340, $3325 (major downside support) ✅ Trading Strategy Reference 🔺 Long Position Strategy: 🔰 If the price pulls back and stabilizes around $3335–3340, consider entering a light long position. Set a stop-loss below $3325 and aim for a target of $3355–3365. 🔰 If the price breaks above $3365 and holds, consider following the breakout with a long position, targeting $3375–3385. 🔻 Short Position Strategy: 🔰 If the price rebounds to $3360–3365 and faces resistance, consider shorting. Set a stop-loss above $3365 and aim for a target of $3340. If that level breaks, look for $3330. 🔰 If the price breaks below $3330, consider a momentum short toward the $3320 zone. ✅ Gold is likely to remain in a consolidation range during the European session. Maintain a buy-low, sell-high strategy with light positions and strict stop-losses. Pay close attention to the support at $3340 and resistance at $3365. Before the U.S. CPI data release, it's recommended to manage risk and control position sizes to avoid unexpected volatility. 🔥Trading Reminder: Trading strategies are time-sensitive, and market conditions can change rapidly.

Wait for hunt🟢 XAU/USD (30-Min Chart) | Bullish Structure Holding | Potential Breakout Setup Price has been respecting a clean ascending trendline, forming higher highs and higher lows. 🔹 Support Zone Held: After a corrective move, price bounced strongly from the minor demand zone (blue box) around the trendline — showing buyer strength. 🔹 Key Resistance Ahead: Price is currently testing a major resistance supply zone (highlighted in blue above). This zone has previously acted as a strong rejection area. A breakout and retest above this zone could signal continuation of the uptrend. 🔹 Volume Observation: There’s increasing volume on the bullish candles around the trendline area, suggesting accumulation. 🔹 Trade Idea: Wait for a clean breakout and retest of the resistance zone for a potential long entry targeting the next significant resistance. Alternatively, if price rejects this zone again and breaks below the trendline, short setups could be considered targeting the lower demand zone. 🧭 Bias: Bullish until the trendline is broken.

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD | July 14, 2025 🔍 Momentum Analysis D1 Timeframe: Momentum is currently reversing to the upside, indicating that the bullish trend may continue into early next week (Monday). H4 Timeframe: Momentum has entered the overbought zone, suggesting that a short-term correction is likely to bring momentum back down into oversold territory. 🌀 Elliott Wave Structure On the H4 chart, we observe a contracting triangle pattern (abcde) approaching its final stages. In the Friday trading plan, we anticipated that the corrective phase had ended and price was entering a new impulsive wave. However, there are two irregularities worth noting: A pin bar candle with high volume has appeared at the resistance zone near 3365, while H4 momentum is overbought. This signals a likely short-term correction — something that ideally should not happen if price is already in wave 3. Ideally, price should have surged to 3402 on Friday to strengthen the bullish case. On the H1 chart, bullish candles are small and overlapping, reflecting weak bullish momentum and a lack of conviction from buyers. These two signs suggest that the market may still be within the correction phase, and the 3402 level will serve as a key confirmation zone to determine whether the correction has truly ended. 💡 Trading Outlook The bullish momentum on the D1 chart still supports BUY positions for the coming week. However, since the H4 chart is overbought, a short-term pullback is likely. We will look to buy on dips toward lower support zones, targeting a move toward 3393 – 3402, which remains the target area as outlined in Friday’s plan with the original entry at 3332 – 3330. 📊 Trading Plan BUY Zone: 3342 – 3340 Stop Loss (SL): 3330 Take Profit 1 (TP1): 3370 Take Profit 2 (TP2): 3393

XAUUSD – Gold Sideways, Awaiting Key Economic DataXAUUSD – Gold Sideways, Awaiting Key Economic Data: Will We See a Correction or Continued Uptrend? 🌍 Macro Overview – Waiting for Key CPI Data from the US Currently, Gold is moving sideways in a wide price range (from the 3x price levels to 4x), awaiting important economic data this week from USD, GBP, AUD, and EUR. 📊 Key Economic Data Today: The US CPI report will be released during the US session, one of the most crucial reports of the month. CPI forecast is positive at 0.3%, which is considered a good sign for the US economy. This data is expected to align with the recent Nonfarm results and could lead to a strong price movement at the time of the announcement, potentially helping to sweep liquidity. 🔍 Technical Analysis – Uptrend with Key Resistance The current trend is still upward, but the movement on larger timeframes is not as strong. Key resistance lies between 337x and 339x, where SELL orders are currently dominant. If price breaks through these levels, Gold may find support to move towards 3400. 📈 Short-Term Forecast: A pullback to around 333x is expected, providing a good BUY opportunity. Looking further, 331x could be a possible target as the price range remains wide. 🎯 Trading Strategy for Today 🟢 BUY ZONE: 3331 – 3329 SL: 3325 TP: 3335 → 3340 → 3345 → 3350 → 3360 → 3370 → ???? 🔴 SELL ZONE: 3392 – 3394 SL: 3398 TP: 3388 → 3384 → 3380 → 3376 → 3370 ⚠️ Important Notes: Watch for support and resistance levels to set up suitable Scalping trades according to the trend. Follow the TP and SL to protect your account, and avoid FOMO when there's no confirmation. The 3350 – 3347 range is a key zone for entering BUY trades early. 💬 What do you think about Gold’s movement today?

Gold Price Today: Uptrend or Correction?The price of gol today is showing mixed trends, with key factors affecting the market. Expectations around Federal Reserve monetary policy and important economic data, such as CPI and unemployment rate, are directly influencing the precious metals market. Additionally, global political tensions and the strengt continue to play a significant role in gold's direction. Gold remains a safe-haven asset amid economic uncertainty, but fluctuating interest rates and market volatility could lead to unpredictable movements. Current Trend: Gold may experience a slight correction if economic data turns positive and the USD strengthens, but it still remains an attractive long-term asset due to global uncertainty and inflation.

Gold at Critical Support After Fib Rejection CPI Day SetupGold has shown a rejection from the 60% Fibonacci resistance zone as we anticipated, and the price is now testing crucial support levels. The market is currently finding some stability around key areas that we need to monitor closely. Our primary support zone remains at 3340-3345, which is particularly significant as this was the previous breakout area. This level has proven to be strong in the past and could provide the foundation for any potential bounce. Just below this, we have the 3335 pivot acting as additional support, creating a solid floor for the current price action. What makes the current setup interesting is that price is attempting to reclaim the 3350 level. If we can see a successful breakout above Monday's high, this could trigger a strong bullish move as it would indicate that buyers are regaining control and pushing through previous resistance levels. Today's CPI data release will be the main driver for gold's direction. The trading scenario looks fairly straightforward a break above Monday's high with good volume would signal bullish momentum and could target higher resistance levels. we already seen a strong bounce from the 3340-3345 support zone in opening today,. However, if the 3335 pivot fails to hold, we might see further downside pressure.

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD | July 15, 2025 🟢 Trade Update The BUY order at the 3342 – 3340 zone was triggered at 3341. As of now, price has moved up by 140 pips, and the market is still following the planned scenario from the previous analysis. 📊 Momentum Analysis D1 Timeframe: Momentum is in the overbought zone, and indicator lines are showing signs of crossing — a warning signal of a potential reversal on the daily chart. H4 Timeframe: After a 6-candle decline from 3377 to 3342, H4 momentum has reversed upward. With 2 bullish candles already formed, we expect another 3–5 bullish candles, aiming toward the 3390 zone. 🌀 Elliott Wave Update Price action is currently moving toward the end of the abcde contracting triangle. We are monitoring two potential scenarios: Scenario 1 – Ongoing Triangle Correction If price returns to the lower boundary of the triangle, it is likely forming wave e, which would present a buy opportunity for the final leg of the triangle. Scenario 2 – 5-Wave Impulse Extension The current structure shows a 5-wave impulsive move, with wave 4 completed and wave 5 now beginning. The projected target for wave 5 aligns with the resistance zone at 3398 – 3402. After completing wave 5, the market could enter a corrective phase, consistent with the idea that wave d ends at this resistance. 🔔 If the price breaks above 3402, it would likely confirm that the abcde correction is complete and that a new impulsive bullish wave has started. 🎯 Trade Plan 📍SELL Zone: 3396 – 3398 ⛔️ Stop Loss: 3406 🎯 TP1: 3376 🎯 TP2: 3327 📍BUY Zone: 3295 – 3293 ⛔️ Stop Loss: 3285 🎯 TP1: 3327 🎯 TP2: 3365 🎯 TP3: 3402 ✅ Note: Prioritize entries only after confirmation from price action and momentum at key levels.

Gold Trading Strategy | July 14-15✅ From the 4-hour chart structure, the short-term support to watch lies in the 3340–3345 zone, which corresponds to the neckline level on last Friday's hourly chart. This is a key support area. If a pullback holds above this level, it may serve as a new launching point for the bulls. ✅ A deeper support zone is located around 3325–3330, which serves as the dividing line between a strong and weak bullish structure in the short term. If this level is broken, the bullish continuation will need to be re-evaluated. ✅ From the daily chart perspective, as long as gold prices remain stable above 3325, the overall bullish trend remains intact. The strategy of "buying on dips" remains valid. As long as there is no confirmed breakdown below this level, the outlook remains bullish. ✅ Trading Strategy Suggestions: 🔰 Initial Buy Zone: Consider light long positions on a pullback to the 3340–3345 area. 🔰 Add-on Zone: If the price dips further to the 3330–3335 area, consider adding to long positions. 🔰 Target Zone: Look for an upside move toward the 3365–3370 area, paying attention to the strength of the rebound. 🔥Trading Reminder: Trading strategies are time-sensitive, and market conditions can change rapidly. Please adjust your trading plan based on real-time market conditions. If you have any questions or need one-on-one guidance, feel free to contact me.

XAUUSD Technical Breakdown – Smart Money Analysis 📊 XAUUSD Technical Breakdown – Smart Money Analysis (July 13, 2025) Gold (XAUUSD) is currently presenting a textbook example of smart money behavior, with clear signs of institutional activity driving price action. The chart highlights multiple Breaks of Structure (BOS), signaling ongoing market manipulation phases and liquidity targeting. 🔼 Price recently surged into a strong resistance zone ($3,355 – $3,370) — an area where previous supply caused sharp rejections. This level has once again proven its strength, as price formed a new BOS immediately after testing this zone. The reaction suggests the presence of institutional sell orders. 📉 Bearish sentiment is reinforced by the series of lower highs and consistent BOS formations, pointing toward a likely continuation move to the downside. The next area of interest is the liquidity pool near $3,260, which holds resting stop orders from retail long positions. Smart money often drives price toward these levels to fill larger orders efficiently. 💡 Key Technical Observations: Multiple BOS signals showing shifts in short-term trend. Rejection from well-defined resistance implies a supply zone. Bearish imbalance and clean structure favor continuation down. Liquidity pool below is a prime target for institutional move. 🎯 Trade Idea (Educational Purpose): Sell Zone: $3,360 – $3,370 Target: $3,260 – $3,300 (liquidity zone) Invalidation: Clean breakout above $3,380 resistance zone This setup demonstrates how understanding market structure, supply/demand zones, and liquidity pools can provide powerful insight into future price action. Always remember, smart money moves the market — your job is to follow the footprints, not fight the flow.
