XAUUSD Weekly Analysis & Trade Signal — May 18, 2025

152
Technical Overview:

Price is currently trading around the $3,204 level, right below a key resistance zone of $3,245–$3,255, which aligns with the midline of the descending parallel channel.

This zone has historically acted as a strong resistance. If price retests and rejects this level again, we can expect a significant bearish move.

However, a clean breakout above $3,255 followed by a successful retest and hold would shift the bias to bullish, potentially targeting the upper boundary of the channel near $3,360.

The weekly candle closed below $3,240 with strong bearish momentum (notable red volume), signaling a potential continuation of the downtrend next week.

Trading Plan for Next Week:
🟥 Bearish Bias (Preferred Scenario)
Entry: If price retests $3,245–$3,255 zone and shows strong rejection (e.g. bearish engulfing or wick rejections).
Target 1: $3,200
Target 2: $3,145
Target 3: $3,100
Stop Loss: Above $3,270

🟩 Bullish Scenario (Breakout Confirmation)
Entry: If price breaks and holds above $3,255, and confirms with a bullish retest.

Target 1: $3,300
Target 2: $3,345 (channel top)
Stop Loss: Below $3,230

Summary:
Your preferred bias should remain bearish unless price clearly breaks and holds above the $3,255 resistance zone. Trade based on confirmation, not anticipation.
