GOLD → Structural Rebalance Before Next Bullish LegGOLD → Structural Rebalance Before Next Bullish Leg Gold remains in a strong bullish structure, showing consistent higher highs and steady momentum after each correction. The market has been consolidating above the $3,800 zone, where buyers continue to absorb liquidity and prevent deeper declines. This zone acts as a solid base for potential upward expansion. Current market behavior indicates controlled accumulation, suggesting that institutional buyers are maintaining dominance. If gold holds above $3,840–$3,820, the next bullish leg may target the $3,960–$4,000 region. A short-term retracement could occur, but overall momentum favors continuation. The price structure and volume behavior both support further upside, reflecting strong buyer control and stable sentiment in the market.

XAUUSD – PRICE ABOVE $4000: ABSOLUTELY CRAZY FOR TRADERSXAUUSD – PRICE ABOVE $4000: ABSOLUTELY CRAZY FOR TRADERS Gold has officially surpassed the $4000 mark, marking one of the most robust increases in recent history. Let's take a look at the key price zones and short-term opportunities 👇 🔻 SELL Scenario SELL 4025–4027 → SL 4033 → TP 4015 – 4000 – 3980 SELL 4042–4044 → SL 4049 → TP 4030 – 4015 – 4000 – 3980 🟩 BUY Scenario BUY 3993–3995 → SL 3988 → TP 4005 – 4013 – 4023 – 4040 BUY 3980–3983 → SL 3975 → TP 3998 – 4005 – 4013 – 4023 – 4040 📈 Technical Analysis The medium-term upward price channel continues to be stable. Rising lows indicate that buying pressure remains very strong. The nearest psychological resistance is around the 4043 zone, coinciding with the Fibonacci extension. The expected buying zone is at the POC Volume Profile area — a high liquidity zone, once anticipated by many traders to reject gold prices, but now could become a strong demand zone. 🧭 Macroeconomic Perspective If the Federal Reserve (Fed) continues to cut interest rates, the market may aim for the next milestone – 5000 USD/ounce. Although short-term fluctuations may occur (such as temporary ceasefires in the Middle East or Ukraine), the core drivers of this trend remain unchanged: US public debt is increasing Central banks are diversifying foreign reserves The USD is weakening All of which support gold's medium-term upward trend. ⚡️Summary Gold remains in a solid upward structure, even as it approaches overbought territory. There might be strong corrections, but as long as the upward structure is maintained, buyers remain in control.

1 of the best Gold Swing Trading Strategy with Fibonacci Levels!Hello Traders! Gold (XAU/USD) is a perfect instrument for swing trading because of its clean technical reactions. One of the most reliable tools to trade gold swings is the Fibonacci retracement . When used correctly, it helps you catch pullbacks and ride the next wave in the trend. Let’s break it down step by step. 1. Identify the Swing Move First, find a strong impulse move on gold, either bullish or bearish. This becomes your “anchor move” for drawing Fibonacci levels. The idea is to wait for price to retrace part of this move before continuing in the main direction. 2. Draw Fibonacci Levels Take the swing low to swing high (for bullish) or swing high to swing low (for bearish). Mark key retracement levels: 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% . These levels often act as strong support or resistance zones for gold. 3. Look for Confirmation Don’t trade blindly at a Fib level. Wait for confirmation like reversal candlesticks (pin bars, engulfing) or RSI divergence. Volume spikes near Fibonacci zones also confirm institutional buying/selling. 4. Entry & Risk Management Enter trades near 38.2%, 50%, or 61.8% retracements when confirmation appears. Place stop loss just beyond the next Fibonacci level. Set targets at previous swing highs/lows or Fibonacci extension levels like 127% and 161.8%. 5. Why It Works Well on Gold Gold respects technical levels strongly due to high liquidity. Institutions also use Fibonacci retracements to scale in and out of positions. This makes Fibonacci one of the most effective tools for swing traders in gold. Rahul’s Tip: Always combine Fibonacci with structure. If a Fib level aligns with a key support/resistance, that zone becomes even stronger. Conclusion: Swing trading gold with Fibonacci retracements is simple yet powerful. By focusing on impulse moves, waiting for retracements, and confirming with price action, you can trade gold with more confidence and less guesswork. If this post gave you a clear strategy, like it, share your thoughts in comments, and follow for more practical gold trading setups!

Robust Safe Haven Flow Sends Gold Flying to $3985Dollar Index shows resilience, climbs to 98.50 Geo political unrest boosts safe haven demand. Gold extends bullish move to $3985 Immediate Support sits at $3955 Immediate Resistance sits at $3978 Gold continues to extend prevailing bullish streak setting new record high back to back with hardly any noticeable pullback as any retracement and dips are quickly being absorbed by buyers waiting for value buying on at bargain prices. Today's session has witnessed strong surge to new record high reaching $3985 and a pullback to $3969 while immediate hurdle $3988 caps recent gains in consolidation mode. Fundamental drivers Strong buying by central banks and record ETF flow boosting structural demand for the metal as safe haven asset as the world prepares to add more Gold to reserves to ward off dollar risks. Geo political uncertainties across some European countries and Japan elections add to global concerns already on edge from Tariff woes. Sticky inflation remains pivotal concern for Fed's interest rate decisions and Fed's hawkish or dovish tones will significantly impact further price action for Gold, Treasury bonds and Gold. The US government shutdown continues with standoff in Congress adding tailwind to Gold. Technical drivers Gold is trading inside a broad ascending channel with strong bullish momentum where any pullback is quickly being absorbed and bought by buyers waiting to buy at value bargain. The bullish momentum is defying odds of overbought conditions and has been testing channel resistance where casual downward spikes only work to scare away weak longs enabling strong longs to see further gains and sustainability. There has been multiple tests of channel mid line and lower boundaries attracting buying intervention again and again. The current momentum is bullish supported by price stability above immediate support $3955 which if broken, exposes next downside zone $3938-$3935 The only major catalyst with potential for a strong downside correction is extremely overbought RSI reading of 90+ on monthly time frame which may witness a sizeable price correction in near term as these heights are prone to profit booking. Overall outlook Immediate rend remains bullish with strong momentum buying any pullback while heights are vulnerable to profit booking and correction. Markets are adopting very cautious approach and short sellers are miserably trapped.

GOLD@ 3890 : Bubble Peak or Just a Pit-Stop?Pullback vs. Correction The 100th-Idea Deep Dive !! Gold has moved almost 88% in the last two years to new records. The main drivers are falling real yield expectations with an easing bias, persistent geopolitical risk, record central bank buying and the 2025 rebound in ETF demand. Geopolitics is shifting as Washington pushes for a Gaza ceasefire. Headlines talk about partial acceptance and ultimatums but nothing is done yet. The war premium can fade step by step though headline shocks will still remain. Key levels:- Resistance 3890–4000 Pullback zone 3640–3650 (5%) Correction zone 3475–3480 (11%) Weekly RSI stretched into high 70s and 80s → risk of mean reversion before any bigger change. Macro gears:- Real yields and the dollar:- Lower real yields = higher gold. That is the key lever. As rate cuts and softer real rates were priced into 2025, gold repriced hard. Central bank sponsorship:- Official demand has been consistent three years in a row. 2022 at 1082t, 2023 at 1037t, 2024 at 1045t. This is rare in modern data and explains why dips are shallow. ETF flows:- After outflows in 2024, 2025 turned. Three straight months of inflows into August, strongest since 2020, YTD around 588t. Pure fuel ✨ Geopolitics & the premium:- From 2023 to 2025 Middle East risk kept term premia elevated. Now Gaza peace talks open a path for that premium to fade. But timelines and enforcement are unclear. Strikes still came even with peace headlines. Means the bleed can be gradual but headline spikes remain.. Pullback or true correction:- 3890–4000 is the confluence zone. Psychological milestone + vertical extension after 88% impulse. Bubble behavior meets supply. Level 1 at 3640 → about -5% pullback. If bids hold, trend resumes. Level 2 at 3470→ -10 to -12% wash into prior shelf. Would be first real reset in two years. Weekly momentum overbought. Phases like this don’t end instantly but forward returns improve after reset. Flows @ CBs rarely chase tops, they buy weakness across months. That softens drawdowns. ETFs are flighty. Peace plus firmer yields can stall inflows. Any Fed pivot or growth wobble can flip them back fast. Possible future paths :- Continuation bubble :- Break 3900 → 4050–4200 Triggers dovish Fed, softer yields, failed peace, ETF flows Tactic = only add above 3900 on daily/weekly close. No chasing wicks. Shallow pullback :-Tag 3630–3660 then rotate Triggers peace holds, modestly firm yields, demand returns Tactic = scale in near 3640–3650 if H4 shows higher low + reclaim POC. First TP 3780–3820. True correction :- flush 3520–3460 Triggers Gaza settlement + real yields higher + ETF stall Tactic = let it wash. Look for capitulation + basing 3480–3460. Best R:R after failed bounce and reclaim. Levels & invalidation:- Bull continuation pivot 3890–3900. Opens 4050–4200. Pullback buy zone 3630(Hvz)–3650 with confirmation. Invalidation H4 <3600. Correction buy zone 3480 ±20 after basing. Invalidation weekly <3420 → opens 3300–3350. If flat → stagger entries and size carefully. If long from lower → trail under last daily HL, book partial 3880–3950. Surprise risk (Imp) ETF squeeze higher – inflows still not at 2020 peak → late cycle melt-up possible. Policy shock – faster cuts or fiscal noise sink yields = blow-off. Strong data → pop in yields = sharp air pocket. Geopolitical whipsaw – peace unravels → $50–100 spike in thin tape!! Bottom line:- This is a two year vertical impulse meeting macro reality at 3890. Level 1 = 3640–3650 pullback line. Level 2 = 3480 correction line. Until weekly breaks, dips are still opportunities not obituaries. But only with structure. No blind catching this high up. Bubbles don’t end quietly – great trends reset then go again ✨ Fade euphoria into 39xx if momentum stalls. Buy fear into 348x if the market finally delivers the reset it owes. Trade safe ⚡ Sparkrlight ♾️✨⚡

US Government Shutdown Sends Gold Flying HigherWhat's Happening With Gold? Gold continues recording new high despite monthly RSI reading of 89-90 signalling extremely overbought conditions and casual pullbacks are attracting buyers on any dip towards value areas resuming higher high and higher low structure which is precisely bullish. Disappointing ADP numbers keep dollar under pressure and Gold gets substantial support as bond yields remain neutral or dull. Recent record high of $3895 witnessed a minor pullback to $3852 which was quickly absorbed by buyers retesting $3893 today and prices stand at striking distance of record high. What's Driving the Bullish Rally? Fundamental Drivers: The US government shutdown and fiscal stress has caused global concerns triggering increased bets for risk off sentiments driving investors for higher Gold prices on safe haven buying. Continued Dollar Weakness below critical resistance 98 is supportive for dollar denominated Gold reducing opportunity cost of holding the non yielding asset. Sticky Inflation makes Gold a preferred hedge against inflation as store of value. Geo political concerns across Europe, mid east keep safe haven demand strong and boost Gold prices further. Robust buying by major Central Banks create further structural demand for Gold as several central banks continue increasing Gold in reserve than dollar and no central bank selling Gold despite record high prices. Any surprise hawkish message from the Fed members or strong economic data can cause a pullback in Gold prices while any dovish tone by Fed will further boost Gold prices. Technical Drivers: Technical structure is still bullish favouring further continuation supported by price stability above immediate support $3852 and moving within a strong ascending bullish parallel channel as seen on the 4 hourly chart while further bullish extension requires strong break and stability above immediate resistance $3898 which targets next leg higher $3914 followed by $3934 Overbought conditions on Monthly RSI reading 89-90 urges caution on heights as break below crucial support may trigger profit booking pressure, especially if some news about potential agreement on US shutdown strengthens dollar and treasury yields. If Gold breaks below $3872, expect a retest of $3860-$3858 while break below $3852 will expose $3845 followed by $3830-$3820

Intraday Scalping Tips1. Understanding the Scalping Concept Scalping is different from traditional intraday trading. While intraday traders may hold positions for several hours, scalpers aim to profit from very small price fluctuations that occur over minutes—or even seconds. Key principles include: High Trade Frequency: Scalpers often make dozens of trades in a single day. Small Gains: Each trade typically targets 0.1–0.5% profit. Minimal Exposure: Trades are closed quickly to avoid major market risks. Scalping is particularly effective in highly liquid markets like Nifty, Bank Nifty, or major blue-chip stocks where order execution is smooth and spreads are low. 2. Choosing the Right Stocks or Instruments Not all stocks are suitable for scalping. Selecting the right instruments is critical for consistent profits. Key considerations include: Liquidity: Highly traded stocks allow quick entry and exit. Volatility: Moderate volatility provides enough price movement for scalping without excessive risk. Tight Spreads: Stocks with narrow bid-ask spreads reduce transaction costs. Market Depth: Strong support and resistance levels make prediction of price action more reliable. Popular choices for scalpers in India include Nifty, Bank Nifty, HDFC Bank, Reliance, and Infosys, as they provide both liquidity and predictable movement patterns. 3. Time Frame Selection and Chart Analysis Time frame selection is critical in scalping since trades are short-lived: 1-Minute and 5-Minute Charts: Most scalpers rely on very short time frames for identifying entry and exit points. Tick Charts: Some traders use tick charts to focus on the number of trades instead of time intervals, offering precision in fast markets. Indicators: Common indicators include: Moving Averages: For trend confirmation. Relative Strength Index (RSI): To spot overbought/oversold conditions. Volume Indicators: Confirm breakout strength and liquidity. Chart patterns like flags, pennants, and micro-trends are also useful for short-term trade setups. 4. Setting Precise Entry and Exit Points Successful scalping relies on strict entry and exit discipline: Entry Rules: Enter trades when technical indicators align (e.g., price breaks a micro-resistance on high volume). Exit Rules: Always set a pre-determined profit target (e.g., 0.2–0.5%) to avoid greed. Stop-Loss Discipline: A tight stop-loss (0.1–0.3% below entry price) prevents small losses from becoming large. Risk-Reward Ratio: Even for small profits, maintain a risk-reward ratio that ensures overall profitability. Automation tools like bracket orders in NSE allow traders to simultaneously set stop-loss and target levels. 5. Capital Management and Trade Sizing Proper capital management is crucial to survive in high-frequency scalping: Small Position Sizes: Avoid risking too much on a single trade. Leverage Management: Use leverage cautiously; while it magnifies profits, it also amplifies losses. Diversification: Spread trades across multiple instruments to reduce concentration risk. Daily Loss Limits: Decide beforehand how much you can lose in a day and stick to it—emotional control is key. Even small profits can accumulate when losses are strictly controlled. 6. Using Technology for Speed and Accuracy Scalping is a speed-driven strategy, making technology a critical factor: Direct Market Access (DMA): Enables faster order execution compared to traditional brokers. Low Latency Trading Platforms: Platforms like Zerodha Kite, Upstox Pro, and Interactive Brokers help reduce slippage. Hotkeys and Advanced Orders: Pre-set hotkeys speed up entries and exits. Real-Time Data Feeds: Access to live market data is essential for micro-trend identification. Automated scripts and algorithmic tools can also be employed to execute scalping strategies without hesitation. 7. Psychological Discipline and Emotional Control Scalping is mentally demanding due to rapid decision-making: Avoid Overtrading: Even if setups are frequent, wait for high-probability signals. Embrace Small Wins: Focus on cumulative gains rather than single trades. Detach from Emotions: Fear and greed can destroy scalping strategies in seconds. Routine and Focus: A disciplined pre-market routine enhances performance. Mental fatigue can lead to poor execution, so breaks and mental preparation are crucial. 8. Continuous Learning and Strategy Adaptation Markets are dynamic, and scalping strategies must evolve: Review Trades Daily: Maintain a trade journal to track setups, wins, and losses. Backtesting: Test strategies on historical data to identify strengths and weaknesses. Adapt to Market Conditions: Scalping in trending markets differs from range-bound markets. Stay Updated: Economic events, corporate news, and global market movements can drastically affect intraday behavior. Continuous refinement ensures long-term profitability and helps scalpers stay ahead of changing conditions. Conclusion Intraday scalping is a high-speed, high-discipline trading approach that rewards precision, strategy, and emotional control. Success depends on selecting the right instruments, leveraging technology, maintaining strict risk management, and continuously learning from market behavior. While scalping can offer consistent profits, it is not suitable for everyone due to its demanding nature. Traders who combine discipline with strategic execution and adaptive methods can use scalping to capitalize on micro-movements in the market and achieve steady gains over time.

Intraday Trading vs Swing TradingIntroduction Brief overview of trading in financial markets. Importance of choosing the right trading style for profitability and risk management. Statement of purpose: Compare intraday trading and swing trading across multiple dimensions such as time horizon, risk, capital requirements, strategy, and psychology. 1. Understanding Intraday Trading 1.1 Definition Buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day. Positions are squared off before the market closes. 1.2 Characteristics Short-term focus (minutes to hours). High trade frequency. Requires constant market monitoring. 1.3 Tools & Techniques Technical indicators: RSI, MACD, moving averages, Bollinger Bands. Chart patterns: Flags, triangles, head & shoulders. Level 2 data, real-time market depth. 1.4 Advantages Potential for high profits in a single day. No overnight risk exposure. Quick capital turnover. 1.5 Disadvantages High stress due to rapid decision-making. Significant brokerage and transaction costs. Requires advanced knowledge and quick reflexes. 2. Understanding Swing Trading 2.1 Definition Holding positions for several days to weeks to capture medium-term price movements. 2.2 Characteristics Medium-term focus. Fewer trades but larger profit potential per trade. Less time-intensive compared to intraday trading. 2.3 Tools & Techniques Technical analysis: Trendlines, support/resistance, moving averages. Fundamental analysis: Earnings reports, sector trends, macroeconomic indicators. Swing patterns: Breakouts, pullbacks, reversals. 2.4 Advantages Less stressful than intraday trading. More time to analyze and make informed decisions. Lower transaction costs due to fewer trades. 2.5 Disadvantages Exposure to overnight and weekend risks. Capital is tied up longer. Requires patience and disciplined risk management. 3. Time Horizon and Trading Frequency Intraday: Trades last minutes to hours; multiple trades daily. Swing: Trades last days to weeks; limited trades but larger exposure. Impact on lifestyle: Intraday requires active screen time; swing allows more flexibility. 4. Capital Requirements Intraday: Leverage is often used; margin requirements are smaller but risk is higher. Swing: Requires more capital per trade due to longer holding periods and lower leverage. Risk of capital erosion: Intraday mistakes can wipe out a day’s gains; swing mistakes can impact several days of profit potential. 5. Risk and Reward Dynamics Intraday: High volatility can yield high rewards but also steep losses. Swing: Moderate volatility, potential for larger cumulative gains, but exposure to overnight gaps. Risk management strategies: Stop-loss orders, position sizing, diversification. 6. Trading Psychology Intraday: Requires quick decision-making and mental resilience. Emotional discipline is crucial; fear and greed can destroy profits quickly. Swing: Patience is essential to ride trends. Ability to handle temporary drawdowns without panic-selling. 7. Strategy and Analysis Intraday Trading Strategies: Scalping: Quick small gains. Momentum trading: Riding strong price trends within the day. Swing Trading Strategies: Trend-following: Entering trades along prevailing trends. Reversal trading: Buying dips and selling rallies. Technical vs fundamental analysis balance: Swing trading often incorporates both; intraday is heavily technical. 8. Costs and Tax Implications Intraday: Higher brokerage and STT due to frequent trades. Short-term gains taxed differently depending on jurisdiction. Swing: Lower trading costs. Gains may qualify for medium/long-term capital gains benefits. 9. Suitability for Different Traders Intraday: Best for active, risk-tolerant, experienced traders with fast decision-making skills. Swing: Suitable for part-time traders, working professionals, and those seeking less stressful trading. 10. Technology and Tools Intraday: Real-time charts, high-speed internet, advanced trading platforms. Swing: Standard charting tools, technical analysis software, news alerts. Algorithmic trading: Both can benefit but intraday relies more heavily on automated systems. 11. Performance Metrics Intraday: Profit per trade is smaller but cumulative daily gains can be significant. Key metrics: Win rate, risk-reward ratio, drawdown percentage. Swing: Profit per trade larger due to capturing trends. Key metrics: Holding period returns, average gain/loss, volatility capture. 12. Case Studies Example of successful intraday trades: High-volume stocks, news-based spikes. Example of successful swing trades: Trend-following in indices or sectoral stocks. Comparison of returns, drawdowns, and effort required. 13. Hybrid Approaches Combining intraday scalping with swing trading to diversify income streams. Portfolio allocation between short-term and medium-term trades. Pros and cons of hybrid trading. 14. Choosing Your Style Assess your risk tolerance, time availability, capital, and psychological comfort. Test both styles using paper trading before committing real capital. Flexibility and adaptation to changing market conditions. 15. Conclusion Recap of key differences: time horizon, risk, rewards, strategies, tools. Emphasis on personal suitability over “best style.” Encouragement to practice disciplined trading, regardless of style.

Gold Market In-Depth AnalysisGold Market In-Depth Analysis | A wave of "downtrading" sweeps across the market, poised for a breakout in gold prices 1. A New Market Paradigm: The Rise of the "Downtrading" A recent report from JPMorgan Chase indicates that retail investors, driven by fear of missing out (FOMO), are pouring into alternative assets like gold, creating a "downtrading" trend. Driving factors include: 🛡️ Heightened geopolitical and policy uncertainty 💸 Concerns about "debt devaluation" and government deficits 🌍 Declining confidence in fiat currencies in emerging markets 🔄 Global assets shift away from the US dollar toward diversified allocations II. Capital Flows and Market Structure ETF demand explodes GLD, the world's largest gold ETF, saw a record inflow of 35.2 tons in September A single-day inflow of 18.9 tons was a record high, indicating accelerated capital inflows Central bank gold purchases have become normalized Global official gold reserves have increased by over 1,000 tons per year for three consecutive years Gold has surpassed the euro to become the second-largest reserve asset Speculative positions still have room to grow CFTC speculative holdings are below their 2016 peak ETF holdings remain far from their 2020 high, suggesting significant potential for incremental capital III. Technical Analysis: A shakeout or a reversal? Key Levels 🟢 Support: 3840-3850 (bull-bear watershed) → 3820-3830 (strong support zone) 🔴 Resistance: 3890-3900 (previous high pressure zone) Trend Analysis The 4-hour chart shows wide range fluctuations at high levels. Yesterday's sharp drop was more of a wash-out than a trend reversal. Bulls have repeatedly reclaimed 3850 and tested its validity, maintaining the overall bullish trend.📊 IV. Trading Strategy and Risk Control 🎯 Main Strategy: Bullish with a volatile outlook, choose opportune positions Long Position: Enter the 3860-3855 area, stop-loss at 3848, target 3870 (reduce position) → 3900 (hold if breakout) Alternative Plan: If the market stabilizes at 3820-3830, re-enter long positions. Risk Control Warning: A significant break below 3820 indicates short-term weakness, with a target of 3790-3800. V. Forward Guidance Data Focus: Another surprise in tonight's ADP and non-farm payroll data could reinforce expectations of a rate cut. Breakthrough Signal: If gold prices stabilize at 3900, a new round of upside will begin. 🚀 Silver Linkage: Silver's bullish momentum is strong and may attract wider retail participation. The "depreciation trade" trend is gaining momentum, and the foundation for a structural bull market in gold is solid!

LiamTrading – Gold Plan: Wide Range + US Politics Exert PressureLiamTrading – Gold Plan: Wide Range + US Politics Exert Pressure Gold continues to fluctuate within a wide range as market sentiment is heavily influenced by news from the United States. On 3rd October, the US Senate is expected to re-vote on the temporary budget bill. If it fails, the federal government could shut down, extending into the next week. This will undoubtedly have a significant impact on safe-haven flows, making gold more sensitive to key technical resistance zones. 📊 Technical Analysis – Chart H1 Gold is moving within a wide sideways structure, oscillating around strong resistance – support zones. Fibonacci Resistance + Psychological level around 3878–3881 → suitable for short-term Sell scalping. Confluence support (Retest + Volume) around 3828–3830 → ideal zone to watch for Buy, expecting a recovery wave. The larger trend still leans towards an increase, however, in the short term, the market will experience several liquidity sweeps. 🎯 Trading Scenario Sell (short-term – prioritise on M15): Entry: 3878–3881 SL: 3886 TP: 3860 – 3855 – 3840 – 3822 – 3810 Buy (retest support + volume): Entry: 3828–3830 SL: 3822 TP: 3845 – 3860 – 3877 – 3890 📌 Conclusion Today's range is quite wide, suitable for scalping according to psychological resistance zones. Short-term Sell at Fibonacci resistance points. Buy when price retests confluence support with volume. Political news from the US will be a catalyst causing significant gold volatility, so it's crucial to maintain disciplined capital management. 👉 Keep a close watch on the scenarios, I will update regularly as the market experiences new movements.

Gold Retreats $80 from $3998 New Record, Bulls Defending $3850US government shutdown raised fiscal concerns triggering bullish rally reaching new ATH at $3898 which quickly prompted retail profit booking though initial footprints may point towards institutional games to sideline retail buyers. All the same, the dip was gradually bought and the metal is seen stabilizing around $3850 after mild retracement from $3863 resistance. Bulls face immediate hurdle at $3863-$3868 which keeps recovery capped. Decisive break above $3868 followed by $3873 will place the rally forward on the golden path aiming retest of $3898 followed by $3908-$3914 On the flip side, rejection from $3863-$3873 fence will indicate willingness to revisit $3820-$3805

#Gold Long term view#Gold Long term view(5years): Gold price is creating new all time highs. We may see another 10-15% upside move in the coming months. Existing positions can hold and book some profits near the top and carry the rest. No fresh long positions are recommended at the current levels as price is nearing the top. We may see a declining phase in gold in the upcoming 5yrs as we have seen in the past from 2010-2015. Note: Kindly note that the above view is purely based on past data. Since many global factors effect the gold price, plan your investments wisely.

Gold Ready for Next Leg Up?Gold (XAU/USD) is approaching a key breakout level at 3897.77. I’m watching for a bullish breakout followed by a pullback entry on a retest of that level. If support holds, I’ll look to go long toward the next resistance/target at 3950. A clean breakout-retest setup with solid R:R potential. Entry: After breakout & retest of 3897.77 Target: 3950 Stop Loss: Below retest low / structure #GOLD #XAUUSD #Breakout #TechnicalAnalysis #TradingStrategy #LongSetup #ChartAnalysis #PriceAction #SupportResistance #Bullish
