Gold consolidates as new alliances emerge | Captain Vincent 1. News Wave 🌍 At the two-day summit in Shanghai, Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping announced that India and China will become development partners rather than competitors.

Technical Analysis ⚙️ On the H2 chart, Gold has formed a Higher High after the recent strong breakout. Storm Breaker 🌊 (Sell Zone 3511 – 3518): Strong resistance, potential for supply if price retests. Golden Harbor 🏝️ (Buy Zone 3450 – 3448): Confluence with FVG + Fibonacci 0.5/0.618, a key support for pullback entries. Main Trend: Gold likely to move sideways between 3450 – 3510 before choosing a major direction. 3.

Spot Gold, Door Open for $3800, Need Patience.Spot #Gold, Door Open for $3800, Need Patience. (Any Panic Buy on Dips). Gold’s price broke through an important level at $3,450, which experts call a “symmetrical triangle pattern.” This is a sign that gold might keep going up, continuing a trend that started earlier this year. After a strong two-month rise starting in February, gold took a break but now seems ready to climb again. Some experts think gold could reach $3,600 or even $3,800 soon, which would beat its previous high of $3,500 from April 22.

Basics of Derivatives in IndiaIntroduction The financial market is like a vast ocean where investors, traders, institutions, and governments interact. Within this ocean, different instruments allow participants to manage risk, invest, or speculate. One of the most powerful tools in modern finance is Derivatives. In India, derivatives have become an essential part of the stock market, commodity market, and even the currency market. They allow investors to hedge risk, speculate on price movements, and improve liquidity. Since the early 2000s, India’s derivative market has grown to become one of the largest in the world. This write-up will explain derivatives in India in simple, detailed, and structured language, covering their meaning, types, uses, risks, and the overall market structure. 1. Meaning of Derivatives A Derivative is a financial instrument whose value is “derived” from the price of another underlying asset. The underlying asset can be: Stocks (Equities) Indices (Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, Sensex, etc.) Commodities (Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, Wheat, Cotton, etc.) Currencies (USD/INR, EUR/INR, etc.) Interest Rates or Bonds The derivative itself has no independent value — it is only a contract based on the future value of the underlying asset. Example: Suppose Reliance Industries stock is trading at ₹2,500. You and another trader enter into a derivative contract (say, a future) where you agree to buy Reliance stock after one month at ₹2,600. The value of your contract will move up or down depending on Reliance’s market price in the future. 2. History of Derivatives in India The journey of derivatives in India is relatively new compared to developed markets like the US. Before 2000: Indian markets mainly had spot trading (buying/selling shares). Informal forward trading existed but was unregulated. 2000: SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) introduced derivatives officially. NSE launched index futures on Nifty 50 as the first derivative product. 2001: Index options were introduced. 2002: Stock options and stock futures were introduced. 2003 onwards: Derivatives expanded to commodities (MCX, NCDEX) and later to currencies. Present: India has one of the world’s most actively traded derivatives markets, with Nifty and Bank Nifty options among the highest traded globally. 3. Types of Derivatives There are four primary types of derivatives: (a) Forward Contracts A forward contract is a customized agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a future date at a pre-decided price. These contracts are over-the-counter (OTC), meaning they are private and not traded on exchanges. Example: A farmer agrees to sell 100 quintals of wheat to a trader at ₹2,000/quintal after three months. Issues: High risk of default because there’s no exchange guarantee. (b) Futures Contracts Futures are standardized forward contracts that are traded on exchanges (NSE, BSE, MCX). The exchange guarantees settlement, reducing counterparty risk. Example: Buying a Nifty 50 Futures Contract expiring in September at 24,000 means you’re betting Nifty will be higher than that price. Key Features: Standardized contract size Daily settlement (Mark-to-Market) High liquidity (c) Options Contracts An option gives the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy or sell an underlying asset at a fixed price before or on a certain date. Types of options: Call Option: Right to buy Put Option: Right to sell Example: You buy a Reliance Call Option at ₹2,600 strike price. If Reliance rises to ₹2,800, you can exercise your option and profit. If the stock falls, you can let the option expire by only losing the premium paid. (d) Swaps A swap is a contract where two parties exchange cash flows or liabilities. In India, swaps are mainly used by institutions, not retail traders. Example: An Indian company with a loan at floating interest rate swaps it with another company having a fixed interest rate loan. 4. Derivative Instruments in India In India, derivatives are available in: Equity Derivatives: Nifty Futures, Bank Nifty Options, Stock Futures & Options. Commodity Derivatives: Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, Agricultural commodities (via MCX, NCDEX). Currency Derivatives: USD/INR, EUR/INR, GBP/INR futures and options. Interest Rate Derivatives: Limited but available for institutional participants. 5. Participants in the Derivative Market Different participants enter derivatives for different purposes: Hedgers Businesses or investors who want to protect themselves from price volatility. Example: A farmer hedging against falling crop prices. Speculators Traders who try to make profits from price fluctuations. Example: Buying Nifty options hoping for a rally. Arbitrageurs They exploit price differences between markets. Example: If Reliance stock trades at ₹2,500 in the spot market but the futures is at ₹2,520, arbitrageurs will sell futures and buy in spot to lock in profit. Margin Traders Traders who use leverage (borrowed money) to amplify gains and losses. 6. Role of SEBI and Exchanges SEBI is the regulator of the Indian derivative market. It ensures transparency, fairness, and prevents market manipulation. NSE & BSE provide trading platforms for equity derivatives. MCX & NCDEX are major exchanges for commodities. Clearing Corporations ensure smooth settlement and eliminate counterparty risk. 7. Trading Mechanism in Indian Derivatives Open a demat and trading account with a broker. Maintain margin money to enter into derivative trades. Place orders (buy/sell futures or options). Daily profit/loss is settled through Mark-to-Market (MTM). On expiry date, contracts are either cash-settled or physically settled. 8. Margin System in India Initial Margin: Minimum amount required to enter a derivative position. Maintenance Margin: Minimum balance to be maintained. Mark-to-Market Margin: Daily profit/loss adjustment. This ensures traders don’t default. 9. Risks in Derivatives While derivatives offer opportunities, they are risky: Market Risk: Sudden price movements can cause big losses. Leverage Risk: Small margin allows big positions, amplifying losses. Liquidity Risk: Some contracts may not have enough buyers/sellers. Operational Risk: Mismanagement or technical issues. Systemic Risk: Large defaults affecting the whole market. 10. Advantages of Derivatives in India Risk Management (Hedging) Price Discovery High Liquidity (especially Nifty & Bank Nifty options) Lower Transaction Costs compared to cash markets Speculative Opportunities 11. Real-Life Examples in Indian Market Nifty & Bank Nifty Options: Most traded globally, used by retail traders, institutions, and FIIs. Reliance Futures: Highly liquid individual stock future. Gold Futures on MCX: Popular among commodity traders. USD/INR Futures: Widely used by importers/exporters to hedge currency risk. 12. Growth of Derivatives in India India is among the largest derivative markets globally by volume. NSE ranked No.1 worldwide in derivatives trading (by contracts traded) for several years. Rising retail participation due to online trading platforms and lower costs. 13. Challenges in Indian Derivatives Market High speculation and retail losses due to lack of knowledge. Complexity of products for small investors. Need for better risk management education. Regulatory challenges in commodities (e.g., banning certain agri contracts due to volatility). Conclusion Derivatives in India have grown from a niche financial instrument to a core pillar of financial markets. They provide risk management, speculation, arbitrage, and liquidity benefits. However, they are a double-edged sword — while they can magnify profits, they can also magnify losses. For Indian traders and businesses, understanding derivatives is crucial. From Nifty and Bank Nifty options dominating retail trade to commodity hedging by farmers and corporates, derivatives touch every corner of the economy. As SEBI continues to strengthen regulations and technology makes access easier, the future of derivatives in India looks promising, provided participants use them wisely with proper risk management.

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD (01/09/2025) Momentum • D1 timeframe: Momentum has been stuck in the overbought zone for the past 4 days, showing strong buying pressure. However, this also creates noise since extended overbought conditions can reverse at any time. • H4 timeframe: Momentum is about to turn down in the overbought zone. Once an H4 candle closes with confirmation, we can expect a correction lasting around 4–5 H4 candles. • H1 timeframe: Momentum is heading into the overbought zone. Within 1–2 more H1 candles, a short-term pullback is likely. ________________________________________ Wave Structure • D1 timeframe: Price has risen sharply and steeply, with momentum staying overbought for a long time. This suggests that wave 4 has likely completed, and the market is entering a long-term uptrend. The minimum target is 3684 (equal to the length of wave W). • H4 timeframe: Price is currently in red wave 3. We expect a correction into red wave 4, which aligns with H4 momentum preparing to turn down. • H1 timeframe: o Wave i (green) is labeled as a leading diagonal, even though wave ii (green) did not retrace as deeply as expected. o Price is now in an extended wave iii (green). o Within wave iii (green), a 5-wave structure 1-2-3-4-5 (red) is unfolding. Red wave 3 has already completed with its internal 5-wave (black). o The target for black wave 5 was achieved at the Fibonacci 0.618 projection of black waves 1–3 → confirming that red wave 3 has completed and price is now correcting into red wave 4. • Red wave 4 outlook: Likely to take shape as a zigzag, flat, or triangle. Two retracement zones are identified: 1. 3462 – 23.6% retracement of red wave 3. 2. 3447 – 38.2% retracement of red wave 3. Considering the guideline that wave 4 often returns to the territory of wave 4 of a smaller degree, and that H4 momentum needs more time to move into the oversold zone, we select 3447 as the primary target for a sell setup. ________________________________________ Trade Plan • Buy Zone: 3448 – 3446 • Stop Loss: 3438 • Take Profit: o TP1: 3485 o TP2: 3521

Gold Trading Scenario – Start of the WeekGold Trading Scenario – Start of the Week Hello traders, A new week begins with gold holding above the 34xx zone, establishing a fresh value area. The current structure has already broken through major resistance levels on the higher timeframe – including trendline and H4 barriers – confirming strong bullish momentum. The uptrend played out exactly as expected, reaching the target around 3450 (specifically 3454). Now price is seeing a mild pullback. This will only be considered a trend reversal if price breaks below 3404. Otherwise, it is just a secondary correction as per Dow theory. Wave 5 may be complete, but the ABC structure is still unclear. For that reason, the plan is to continue with long positions in line with the trend, which increases the probability of success. Buy zone for today: 3408–3412, an area where sellers previously failed at resistance and which was broken through the trendline on Friday. This is my outlook for Monday, viewed from a medium-term perspective. Take it as reference, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Gold Analysis and Trading Strategy for Monday✅ Daily Chart: The Bollinger Bands continue to expand, and spot gold is trading near the upper band, showing strong momentum. The MACD is running in a golden cross, and the RSI has rebounded from oversold territory, indicating that gold has clear demand for a bottom rebound. However, close attention should be paid to the 3450–3455 trendline resistance. If the price fails to break above this level effectively, it could limit further upside potential. ✅ 4-Hour Chart: The Bollinger Bands are opening upward, with gold trading just below the upper band. The MACD golden cross momentum is narrowing, and the RSI has retreated from overbought levels, suggesting that the upward trend is slowing and that short-term correction pressure may emerge. ✅ 1-Hour Chart: Gold is currently trading near the middle Bollinger Band. The MACD has formed a death cross, and the RSI has fallen back from overbought levels, indicating weakening upward momentum and highlighting the risk of a pullback after overbought conditions. 🔴 Resistance Level: 3450–3455 🟢 Support Level: 3415–3420 ✅ Trading Strategy Reference: 🔰 Long Strategy: The overall trend remains bullish, so the main approach is to buy on pullbacks. If gold retraces to the 3415–3420 support zone and holds, light long positions may be considered with targets at 3440–3450. 🔰 Short Strategy: If the price tests the 3450–3455 resistance zone multiple times without a valid breakout, and bearish signals such as divergence or a shooting star candlestick appear, light short positions can be considered. Stop-loss above 3460, with downside targets at 3430–3420. ✅ Conclusion: Gold is currently in a high-level consolidation phase after rebounding, with upward momentum showing signs of weakening. The key for Monday’s trading lies in whether the 3450–3455 resistance zone can be broken. The recommended approach is to buy on pullbacks as the primary strategy, and sell on rebounds as a secondary strategy, while strictly enforcing stop-loss measures to control risk.

Gold Next MoveExecution Plan 1. Entry Primary Long Setup: Wait for price to dip into the $3,429–$3,423 demand zone. Look for bullish rejection candles (wicks, engulfing, or strong bounce). Enter long above $3,430–$3,433 confirmation. Aggressive Entry: If price holds above $3,437, a long can be initiated with tighter risk. ⸻ 2. Stop Loss Conservative: Below $3,423 (around $3,420). Aggressive: Below $3,404 (major support/invalidation). ⸻ 3. Targets Target 1: $3,445 (near-term bounce). Target 2: $3,453–$3,455 (recent high/resistance). Target 3 (extended): $3,470+ if momentum continues. ⸻ 4. Alternative Scenario If price breaks below $3,404, bullish setup is invalid → stay out or switch bias to short. In that case, downside may extend to $3,380–$3,385. ⸻ In summary: Buy the dip near $3,429–$3,423 zone with stop below $3,404. Take profits near $3,453–$3,470. Only flip bearish if $3,404 is broken with strong momentum.

Gold’s Relentless Rally – A Lesson for Every TraderIn the past week, Gold surged strongly without any meaningful pullback, leaving many traders who were holding sell positions trapped. Without a retracement based on technical analysis, countless accounts went into heavy drawdown – some even facing complete wipeouts. 👉 What happened here? Markets don’t always follow textbook technicals. In volatile phases, traders often let losing trades run, ignoring their Stop-Loss. This “hope mindset” is exactly what destroys capital faster than anything else. 💡 The key lesson for us all: Risk management is not optional – it’s the foundation of survival in trading. A single trade without an SL may not seem dangerous, but over time, it’s the biggest reason traders lose their hard-earned money. The market will always be unpredictable. But these are the moments where discipline and patience separate serious traders from those who get punished by the market. 🔑 MMFlow Insight for Indian Traders: Markets don’t owe us profits. They reward only those who respect risk, stay calm, and stick to their trading rules. Protect your capital first – opportunities will always come. 👉 Stay disciplined. Respect your stop. Trade smart, trade safe.

Gold next movePresent bull run in gold that started in October of 2023 had 4 major consolidations with each lasting on average 3 to 4 months. The present 4th consolidation lasted a little over 4 month, which is quite similar to the 2nd one. Each breakout from a horizontal resistance resulted initially in a limited rally then 3-4 week short-term consolidation (elliptic shape) followed by a stronger rally. If the same pattern plays out, then I expect 1. Gold to reach approximately $3,600 within 2 weeks. 2. Consolidate for 3 - 4 weeks within elliptic shape. 3. Final run, in present cycle, to my to $3,900 - 4,000 price target within 3 - 4 weeks. All in all, gold should be able to reach price target within 8 to 10 weeks, which targets late October to early November 2025.

Part 4 Learn Institutional TradingBasics of Options (Calls & Puts) There are two main types of options: Call Option: Gives the holder the right to buy the underlying asset at a fixed price (called the strike price) before or on the expiry date. Example: You buy a Reliance call option with a strike price of ₹2500. If Reliance rises to ₹2700, you can buy at ₹2500 and gain from the difference. Put Option: Gives the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price before expiry. Example: You buy a Nifty put option with a strike price of 22,000. If Nifty falls to 21,500, your put gains in value since you can sell higher (22,000) while the market trades lower. In simple terms: Calls = Right to Buy Puts = Right to Sell How Options Work (Premiums, Strike Price, Expiry, Moneyness) Every option has certain key components: Premium: The price you pay to buy the option. This is determined by demand, supply, volatility, and time to expiry. Strike Price: The fixed price at which the option holder can buy/sell the asset. Expiry Date: Options are valid only for a certain period. In India, index options have weekly and monthly expiries, while stock options usually expire monthly. Moneyness: This defines whether an option has intrinsic value. In the Money (ITM): Already profitable if exercised. At the Money (ATM): Strike price equals the current market price. Out of the Money (OTM): Not profitable if exercised immediately.

XAU/USD 4H – Strong Breakout from ConsolidationGold has broken out above its descending resistance line and is now trading at $3,447, reaching fresh highs. The breakout also cleared the key resistance at $3,409, turning it into immediate support. 📈 Price is well above the 200 EMA ($3,357), confirming strong bullish momentum. 📊 Indicators: RSI (14): At 81, showing overbought conditions — momentum is strong, but a short-term pullback cannot be ruled out. ADX (14): At 34, indicating a strengthening trend. 🔺 Bullish Scenario: As long as Gold holds above $3,409, continuation towards $3,460 and beyond remains likely. 🔻 Bearish Scenario: A rejection at current highs could trigger a retest of $3,409 or even the EMA zone near $3,357. ⚡ Momentum favors the bulls, but caution is warranted with RSI in overbought territory.

Risk: Expect liquidity sweeps before continuation. Advice: Don’t chase price. Wait for demand zone confirmations. Focus: Safer buys from 3398–3396 or 3372–3370 instead of impulsive FOMO buys near highs.

Gold Awaits Fed Signals: Will 3,350 USD Determine the Next Move?Hi everyone, the gold market is currently at a very sensitive stage. Gold is trading around 3,345 USD, approaching the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between 3,340 – 3,350 USD, and it’s showing signs of consolidation within a narrow range. This phase is highly anticipatory of important news from the Fed and senior officials. So, where will gold head before and after these statements? Let’s break it down. Gold is currently facing strong resistance at 3,350 USD, a key level that could confirm the next direction. The chart shows that the FVG between 3,340 – 3,350 USD is a region where gold might test again. If it breaks above this level, the chances of continuing the uptrend are very high. On the other hand, if it fails to break 3,350 USD, gold could pull back to test the 3,320 USD support level. The current trading volume indicates that the bulls are gaining control. However, with significant news soon to be released from the Fed, statements from Jerome Powell and other FOMC members could be decisive factors, especially if there are further signals about potential rate cuts from the Fed. This would weaken the USD and fuel further upside for gold. Gold Trend Prediction: If gold breaks 3,350 USD, I expect it to continue rising, with the next target around 3,370 USD. However, if it fails to break this resistance level, gold might adjust back towards 3,320 USD or lower. Let’s continue to monitor the market and prepare for upcoming trading opportunities!

XAU/USD – Gold Targets 3,440 USDHello traders, gold has successfully broken through the key resistance at 3,400 USD and is now approaching the 3,420 USD zone. A decisive move above this level could open the way toward 3,440 USD. On the downside, the 3,375–3,380 USD support range remains effective, helping the bullish structure to hold. From the macro side, US Q2 GDP grew by 3.3%, beating forecasts and confirming a solid economic recovery. Yet, this also fuels inflation concerns, reinforcing gold’s safe-haven appeal. Additionally, the upcoming PCE data for August is expected to rise, limiting the chances of early Fed rate cuts, which continues to support gold prices. What’s your view on this setup?
