GOLD JUMPS ON ASIAN OPEN – Geopolitical Tensions Fuel Early Surge
Gold opened the week with a strong upside move during the Asian session, gaining nearly 330/OZ in early trading. The bounce comes amid a weekend full of heightened geopolitical tensions and expectations of increased central bank activity later this week.

🌍 Geopolitical Backdrop:
Rising concerns over Russia–Ukraine and India–Pakistan flare-ups.

No official confirmation from governments yet, but the market is clearly on edge.

Former US President Donald Trump is reportedly pushing for an earlier Fed rate cut.

All eyes now turn to the FOMC meeting this week, with potential policy shifts that could stir further volatility.

These developments have re-ignited safe-haven demand for gold, making this week's opening surge a logical reaction to global uncertainty.

🔍 Key Technical Zones
Resistance levels:
3278 – 3288 – 3301 – 3314

Support levels:
3250 – 3246 – 3238 – 3224 – 3204

🎯 Trade Setups – 06 May 2025
🔵 BUY ZONE: 3246 – 3244
SL: 3240
TPs: 3250 → 3254 → 3258 → 3262 → 3266 → 3270 → 3280

Gold may continue its bullish run into the European session. A clean bounce from this support range could offer a solid risk/reward entry.

🔴 SELL ZONE: 3300 – 3302
SL: 3306
TPs: 3296 → 3292 → 3288 → 3284 → 3280 → 3270

If price rallies into this resistance cluster, look for signs of exhaustion for a potential intraday reversal trade.

⚠️ Weekly Outlook:
The FOMC meeting later this week will be key. A dovish tone may extend gold’s rally, while hawkish surprises could trigger sharp reversals.

Any new geopolitical flashpoints may also accelerate volatility — stay alert to global headlines.

Avoid FOMO — trade the reaction, not the prediction.

📌 Pro Tip: Let price come to your zone. Be patient, wait for confirmation, and manage SL/TP with discipline.

🔥 GOLD NEW YORK SESSION UPDATE – Geo Tensions Confirmed, Bull Momentum in Full Force
Gold (XAU/USD) has extended its bullish momentum throughout the day, following a powerful rally that began during the Asian session and carried through Europe into the New York open. This move comes in response to confirmed geopolitical tensions, with reports indicating that Ukraine launched a pre-emptive strike against Russia ahead of a major national holiday.
snapshot
This headline-fueled momentum has shifted sentiment decisively into risk-off territory, boosting safe-haven demand for gold.

📈 Key Market Observations:
Strong bullish continuation from Asia to US session.

No signs of exhaustion yet — pullbacks remain shallow.

Selling is high-risk at this stage unless reacting to extreme overextensions.

🚫 NO SELLING STRATEGY FOR NOW:
Traders are strongly advised not to counter-trade this move. Selling should only be considered at extreme resistance levels for short scalps only, and not for holding positions.

🎯 Updated Trade Plan – New York Session
🔵 BUY ZONE: 3,312 – 3,310
Stop-Loss: 3,306
Take-Profits: 3,316 → 3,320 → 3,324 → 3,328 → 3,332 → 3,340 → 3,350

This zone offers a high-probability entry as long as momentum holds. Traders may scale in if price dips back into this area.

🔴 SELL ZONE (Scalp Only): 3,368 – 3,370
Stop-Loss: 3,374
Take-Profits: 3,362 → 3,358 → 3,354 → 3,350

This sell zone is valid only for quick reaction trades. Do not hold short positions beyond initial targets unless further confirmation of reversal appears.

🧠 Final Notes:
This is not the time to fade the trend. The market has entered a momentum phase, driven by breaking news. As long as headlines continue to support uncertainty, gold is likely to remain bid. Trade with momentum and wait for clean entries at pre-marked zones.
