XAU/USD – End-of-Month Trading Strategy | MMFlow TradingGold is entering a short-term correction phase as we close the month. Looking at historical data, in the last 4 months, Gold has shown deep liquidity sweeps at month-end before continuing its upward rally. Today, we could see a similar setup. 📊 Market Context: Month-end candles often create long wicks (343x → 335x). If price breaks below 3395, we could see deeper liquidity grabs. US Session has PCE Data release – expected to match the previous reading. This may trigger short-term volatility, providing opportunities for intraday traders. 📌 Key Levels 🔺 Resistance (Sell Zone) 3434 – 3436 → Short-term selling opportunity. 3424 – 3435 → A breakout here opens the path to new highs. 🔻 Support (Buy Zone) 3395 – 3390 → Important intraday liquidity zone. 3376 – 3374 (VPOC Area) → Strong demand zone, likely to attract buyers. 3363 – 3355 (Deep Liquidity Zone) → Extreme scenario, less likely without major news. 📌 Trade Plan ✅ Long Setup (Buy Zone) Entry: 3376 – 3374 Stop Loss: 3369 Targets: 3380 – 3385 – 3390 – 3400 – 3410 – 3420 – ??? 🎯 This aligns with the VPOC zone, highly probable for bullish reaction. ✅ Short Setup (Sell Zone) Entry: 3434 – 3436 Stop Loss: 3440 Targets: 3430 – 3425 – 3420 – 3410 – 3400 ⚠️ Short trades are better executed in Asian & European sessions to catch the correction move before US volatility. 📍 Summary: Watch 3395 – 3375 closely → if this holds, September could bring strong bullish momentum. Month-end dips are often the best opportunities to position for the next ATH rally. Patience + precise levels = high probability setups. 🔥 Stay tuned with MMFlow Trading for precise institutional-style analysis & real-time market insights.

Gold 29/08: Smart Money Looks at 3444 or 3395 LevelsMarket Context (SMC View): Gold faced rejection from the 3423 liquidity zone and is now pulling back. Demand is seen near 3397–3395, which can give a bounce if price tests it. Premium supply zones above 3422 and 3442 are good areas to look for selling opportunities. 🔼 BUY SCENARIO Buy Zone: 3397 – 3395 Stop Loss: 3389 Targets: 3405 → 3415 → 3425 🔽 SELL SCENARIO 1 (Price Action) Sell Zone: 3422 – 3424 Stop Loss: 3430 Targets: 3412 → 3400 🔽 SELL SCENARIO 2 (Swing) Sell Zone: 3442 – 3444 Stop Loss: 3452 Targets: 3425 → 3412 → 3400 📌 Conclusion & Notes Bias: Buy near 3397–3395, then watch for possible liquidity grabs at 3422–3424 or a bigger sweep near 3442–3444 to go short. Key Levels: 3422–3424 is the first intraday supply zone, while 3442–3444 is the major swing sell zone. Tip: Wait for rejection candles or confirmation before selling. Risk: Gold is very volatile; use strict stop losses and manage capital carefully.

Gold Trading Scenario – Friday OutlookGold Trading Scenario – Friday Outlook Hello traders, Fridays are often challenging for forex traders. As the week closes, bankers wrap up their positions, creating unpredictable market moves. This is especially tricky for those who rely on timing-based strategies, so it’s important to watch the smaller fluctuations closely today. Looking at the current gold structure, the uptrend remains intact. Buying pressure is strong enough to push towards the next projected levels. Technical indicators continue to support a bullish view, with MACD showing steady momentum as both volume and moving averages remain positive. From an Elliott Wave perspective, gold is moving in **wave 5**, which is typically an extended wave. This allows us to maintain a bullish outlook unless price breaks below **3386** and confirms with at least one candle close on the M15 timeframe or higher. In that case, the scenario would be invalidated. Until then, buying around this level with a stop-loss just below the key support zone (about 1 dollar lower) remains the preferred approach. Selling opportunities are not yet ideal, but for those looking at short setups, the **3450 zone** should be monitored as a major resistance. In the shorter term, **3430** can act as a reaction level for temporary sells. Fridays also tend to bring more news-driven traps, so be extra cautious. It’s a day that can really test less experienced traders. This is my view for today’s session – use it as reference, and trade with discipline. ---

Steady Climb: Gold Confirms Breakout, Support Shifts to 3400We have seen impressive strength on gold with a slow but steady breakout above 3400, confirming a bullish tone in the market. Price has also cleared the previous swing high near 3410, turning this zone into fresh support (3400–3410). Alongside this, the rising trendline support (black line) continues to guide the uptrend, adding confidence to the move. From a price action perspective, this breakout looks healthy and signals that buyers are gaining control. The next big level to watch is the 3450 zone, which stands as the key breakout area for a larger move higher. On the flip side, as long as 3400–3410 holds, the bullish outlook remains intact. With both the monthly and weekly closing happening today, the candle close will be crucial in setting the tone for the next leg. A strong close above 3410 would further validate the bullish breakout, while any failure to hold above support could bring some profit-taking. For now, the overall structure favors the bulls.

Gold Holds Uptrend – Eyes on 3.395 BreakHello everyone, Observing the latest chart, gold’s uptrend remains firmly in place. The price moves consistently above the Ichimoku cloud, while the forward cloud thickens and tilts slightly upward, forming a supportive cushion for the next leg higher. Below, the recently formed FVG demand zone at 3.372–3.380 has been lightly tested multiple times and rebounded, showing solid absorption by buyers. Conversely, above, the thin FVG supply around 3.395–3.405 acts as the “gate” for the market to enter a new upward leg. Volume data also reinforces the bullish scenario: green candles often come with higher volumes than red ones, especially after the breakout on 27–28/8. The “higher highs – higher lows” structure since the 22/8 rebound indicates buyers remain in control. Moreover, news factors are creating a tailwind. US tariff tightening, temporary halts on international mail in several countries, and supply shortage risks have sparked inflation and supply chain concerns, supporting gold as a safe-haven asset. Trend-following strategy: prefer buying while price holds above 3.372–3.380 (both FVG zone and Ichimoku cloud edge), targeting 3.413 first, then 3.433. This scenario fails if price closes below 3.360, losing the cloud cushion and breaking the recent low. The 3.395–3.405 zone is a key confirmation: a clean breakout here often leads to a smoother, stronger upward move. Do you think gold has enough strength to break 3.395 in the coming sessions?

XAU/USDThis XAU/USD setup is a sell trade, highlighting a bearish short-term outlook on gold. The entry price is 3414, with a stop-loss at 3423 and an exit price at 3396. This trade seeks to capture an 18-point profit while risking 9 points, maintaining a balanced 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. Selling at 3414 suggests the trader expects downward pressure, possibly triggered by strength in the U.S. dollar, rising bond yields, or profit-booking after recent gains. The exit at 3396 is strategically placed near a support area where buyers might re-enter, making it a logical profit-taking level. The stop-loss at 3423 limits potential losses if bullish momentum resumes, ensuring disciplined risk management. This setup is ideal for short-term traders looking to ride intraday weakness.

Gold Trading Strategy for 29th August 2025🟡 GOLD Trading Strategy (1-Hour Candle Breakout Method) 📌 Overview This strategy is based on the breakout of a one-hour candle. We wait for confirmation by ensuring the candle closes above or below a key price level. Once confirmed, we plan our entry above the high (for buy) or below the low (for sell) of that candle. This helps avoid false breakouts. 🔼 Buy Setup (Long Position) Condition: Wait for a 1-hour candle to close above $3428. Entry Point: Place a buy order above the high of that candle. Targets: 🎯 Target 1 → $3438 🎯 Target 2 → $3448 🎯 Target 3 → $3458 Stop Loss: Below the low of the breakout candle (to manage risk). 🔽 Sell Setup (Short Position) Condition: Wait for a 1-hour candle to close below $3406. Entry Point: Place a sell order below the low of that candle. Targets: 🎯 Target 1 → $3396 🎯 Target 2 → $3386 🎯 Target 3 → $3376 Stop Loss: Above the high of the breakout candle (to protect from reversals). 📊 Why This Works ✅ Helps filter out false breakouts since we wait for the candle to close before entering. ✅ Provides clear entry, target, and stop loss levels. ✅ Works best in high-volatility markets like Gold (XAU/USD). ⚠️ Disclaimer This strategy is shared for educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial or investment advice. Trading in gold, forex, or commodities involves high risk and may result in the loss of your capital. Always do your own analysis, manage your risk carefully, and trade responsibly.

Divergence has appeared at H4 – TOP IS ABOUT TO BE FORMEDGold SMC Daily Plan – 28/08 Market Context (SMC view): Gold is trading near 3395–3396 after a sharp bullish rally. Early bearish divergence is visible on H4, hinting at a short-term top. Key resistance is at 3400 – a clean breakout above may trigger liquidity sweep towards 342x–343x, retesting the old ATH. On the downside, if 3370 support breaks, price may correct deeper into 335x BUY zone for a strong bullish setup. Key Levels: Resistance: 3396–3400 (Sell Zone), 342x–343x (Liquidity sweep area) Support: 3370, 3354–3352 (Buy Zone), 3325 (SL for longs) SMC Zones & Liquidity Pools: BUY ZONE 1: 3354–3352 (below liquidity sweep under 3370) SL: 3347 TP: 3365 → 3375 → 3385 → 3395 → 3400+ BUY ZONE 2: 3380–3382 SL: 3374 TP: 3390 → 3400 → 3415 → 3430 → 3450+ SELL ZONE: 3408–3410 (above recent high) SL: 3416 TP: 3390 → 3380 → 3375 → 3360 Trading Plan & Scenarios: Sell Setup (Primary Bias – Divergence Play): Look for liquidity grab above 3396–3399 (into resistance). Enter short with SL above 3403. Partial profits at 3390–3380–3375; keep runner towards 3360 if support breaks. Buy Setup (Counter Play – Break & Retest): If price dips into 3354–3352 BUY zone, wait for bullish confirmation (choch/BOS on lower TF). Enter long with SL below 3347. Targets: 3365 → 3375 → 3385 → 3395 → 3400+ Confluences: H4 bearish divergence signalling possible exhaustion at top. Liquidity pools above 3396 and below 3370 remain untapped. FVG and imbalance align with 335x buy zone.

USD Gold Day chart Wave analysis After almost three months, a good buying opportunity is visible in gold. If you understand the technical chart formation, then a triangle is formed after the motive wave. This is a perfect example of contracting triangle in front of you, which qualifies for a new high. This is my view. There is no advice for buying or selling, only technical education. Before doing any trade or investment, take advice from your financial advisor Thanks MKT Learner

August 28 Gold AnalysisAugust 28 Gold Analysis > Market expectations of rate cuts and political risks intertwined, sending gold prices volatile and rising, breaking through the $3,400 mark. Fundamental Analysis 1. Fed policy expectations dominate market sentiment Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's dovish stance at the Jackson Hole symposium continues to influence the market. He stated that "downside risks to employment are increasing" and that "a shift in the balance of risks may require adjustments to our policy stance," which the market interpreted as a strong signal that the Fed could cut interest rates as early as September. The market is pricing in over an 87% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut at the Fed's September meeting. This expectation of a rate cut provides short-term support for gold prices. However, New York Fed President Williams emphasized that "rate cuts are data-dependent," suggesting that the Fed may remain cautious if economic data does not support this. 2. Political risks exacerbate market uncertainty US President Trump's intervention in the Federal Reserve has reached historic levels. On August 25, Trump fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, citing allegations of mortgage fraud. This marks the first time in the Federal Reserve's 111-year history that a president has removed a board member, raising serious concerns about its independence. Cook, through his lawyer, responded that Trump "has neither the legal basis nor the authority" to remove him from office and stated that he "will continue to fulfill his responsibilities to stabilize the U.S. economy." This incident not only reinforced market expectations for a rate cut but also attracted safe-haven buying, supporting gold prices. 3. Economic Data and US Dollar Trends The US dollar index is currently under pressure, retreating to a one-week low near 98.19. A weaker dollar makes dollar-denominated gold cheaper for holders of other currencies, indirectly supporting gold prices. III. Technical Analysis From a daily perspective, gold's rebound continues to rise, with strong short-term fluctuations. The moving average system shows a bullish alignment, and the overall trend remains volatile and strong. Gold prices remain at the upper limit of the recent oscillating triangle pattern. Whether it can effectively break through the downward trend line of 3414-3425 will be crucial. Gold's downward support could be at the 5-day moving average at $3385, marking the current intraday low and the recent breakout point for gold's rebound. Furthermore, focus on the middle Bollinger Band at $3362 and the 3360-3362 area, where the 10-day and 20-day moving averages converge. Upward resistance could be at $3410. Further gains could target the July high of $3440. Technical indicators show a golden cross between the 5-day moving average and the MACD, and between the KDJ and RSI. Short-term technical indicators suggest continued bullishness. IV. Trading Strategy Recommendations Based on the current market environment, we recommend a volatile trading strategy. Downward support could be at $3385 and $3362, while upward resistance could be at $3400. If gold prices stabilize in the 3380-3385 ​​area, consider a long position with a stop-loss below 3370 and a target of 3400-3405. If it breaks through, you can partially reduce your position, and focus your remaining positions on the 3414-3425 area. If gold prices break through 3414 and hold, consider buying with the trend, targeting 3425 or even higher. If gold prices unexpectedly break below the 3373 support level, it would signal a weakening of short-term bullish momentum and the market could enter a period of correction. For cautious investors, we recommend waiting and waiting for gold prices to effectively break through key resistance (3414-3425) or support (3360-3362) and then enter the market when the direction is clear. You can also monitor the market reaction to the release of US economic data tonight before making any decisions. Trade with caution and manage risk! Wish you good luck!

Gold Hits $3408, Bulls Targeting $3450Gold Reclaims $3400 psychological mark. Dollar Index drops to 98.10 Markets cautious ahead of Initial Jobless Claims data release. Immediate hurdle is $3415 followed by $3420-$3450 Immediate support $3392-$3386 crucial for Bullish momentum. Fundamental drivers Gold bullish momentum is getting strong boost by Fed rate cut expectations in September meeting and PCE data ahead which works as important inflation gauge. Also, upcoming Initial Jobless Claims release is awaited which may significantly influence Dollar and Gold prices. Rising political tensions from concerns on Fed's autonomy and independence threatened by Trump's strong actions and face off keeps Dollar under pressure and boosting Gold demand for safe haven. Technical drivers Gold remains undisputed favourite bet for buying the dips and retracement towards $3384 attracted buyers again, reclaiming the psychological mark of $3400. Bulls need to clear through immediate hurdle $3415 to extend advance towards $3420-$3430 above which next upside targets are positioned at $3438 followed by $3450-$3465. Major upmove will target a new All Time High around $3545-$3568. On the flip side, a strong break below $3350 will invalidate the immediate bullish momentum calling for drop to ascending trendline support $3330 before any new attempt to rise.

This has put pressure on the USD and supported gold’s recovery.

Gold (XAU/USD) Targets $3,397 – $3,406 Amid Bullish MomentumAnalysis: The 4H chart of Gold (XAU/USD) shows strong bullish momentum after a corrective phase. Price has broken above consolidation and is currently trading around $3,382, with upside targets at $3,397 and $3,406 (highlighted resistance zone). The supply zone on the higher timeframe remains intact below $3,280, acting as a long-term support. Immediate support levels lie at $3,371, $3,356, and $3,348. A break below these could shift momentum bearish. Current bullish structure suggests that as long as price holds above $3,371, buyers may drive the price higher toward the resistance levels. A rejection from $3,406 may lead to a pullback toward the mid-support zone before another attempt higher.
