XAUUSD: 2/4 Today's Market Analysis and StrategyGold technical analysis
Daily chart resistance 3150, support below 3053
Four-hour chart resistance 3150, support below 3113
One-hour chart resistance 3120, support below 3100
Gold news analysis: On Tuesday (April 1), spot gold continued to rise to new highs, reaching a high of $3148.94/ounce, and then dived 50$. On Monday (March 31) this week, the price of gold ushered in a new breakthrough, breaking through $3100/ounce, and rose by $100 in just one week. Multiple factors such as trade concerns, a weaker dollar and falling bond yields have driven the price of gold to rise, making it one of the most eye-catching commodities in 2025. So far this year, the price of gold has risen by 18.3%. Gold has received further support amid a sharp drop in the Nasdaq index, as investors are nervous about the tariff policy that the Trump administration will release on April 2. Trump recently announced that he would impose new tariffs on Russia and Iran. These policies are expected to have a wide impact on the global economy, causing investors to increase their allocation to safe-haven assets such as gold.
Gold operation suggestions: Gold fell back on the daily line and finally closed slightly lower. The sharp rise in the Asian session did not have a strong continuity. After the pressure near the high of 3148.50, the European and American sessions were mainly corrected by the decline. The market has fluctuated violently recently, and the adjustment space is large.
From the current trend analysis, the short-term support below focuses on the four-hour level near 3113, focusing on the 3100-3053 line. The daily level stabilizes above this position and continues to buy at a low level, waiting for the support to buy. Selling can only be entered at key points, short-term trading.

As you can see on the chart, we’ve hit the 227% Fibonacci level.

Gold Reclaims Momentum – RSI Enters Overbought TerritoryGold is on fire again, closing at $3,126.45 (+0.38%) and continuing to ride a steep uptrend supported by the 50-day SMA (2,925.58) and a well-respected ascending trendline.
🔹 MACD is trending higher with widening separation – bullish momentum is building again.
🔹 RSI just breached 75.80, putting gold deep into overbought territory.
🔹 No immediate resistance above – price is in discovery mode.
The trend is strong and healthy, but the overbought RSI suggests short-term pullbacks can't be ruled out. Still, buyers remain firmly in control above $3,000.
As long as the trendline holds, gold’s shine won’t fade.

Middle East heats up, GOLD rises more than 20 USDIn the Asian trading session, the spot price of OANDA:XAUUSD suddenly jumped by more than 20 USD in the short term and the gold price just touched 3,135 USD/ounce. The situation in the Middle East suddenly became tense and the US Department of Defense sent more aircraft carriers and bombers to the Middle East, increasing risk aversion, which boosted the demand for safe havens.
The latest news from Bloomberg News in the US said that in the context of the US declaring to continue the fight against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels and escalating tensions with Iran over Iran's nuclear program, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered the dispatch of more troops to the Middle East, including the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike group and many fighter jets.
The Carl Vinson will arrive in the region after completing the Indo-Pacific exercise. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement Tuesday that the Defense Department will also extend the deployment of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group in the region. The rare deployment of two aircraft carriers echoes a show of force last year under the Biden administration.
"Secretary Hegseth made clear once again that if Iran or its proxies threaten U.S. personnel and interests in the region, the United States will take decisive action to protect our people," Parnell said.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that any attack by the United States or Israel would be met with "decisive retaliation." US President Donald Trump has previously threatened to bomb Iran if it does not sign a deal to give up its nuclear weapons.
Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said there would be no direct talks with the United States as long as the Trump administration continued its "military threats." "If there is no deal, the bombing will come," Trump warned in an interview last weekend.
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold tested the 0.786% Fibonacci extension level and declined slightly after receiving support from the 0.618% Fibonacci extension level. As we have communicated to our readers in previous publications, given the current fundamental context and technical chart conditions, further price declines are possible, but should only be considered as short-term corrections and not a trend. Or we can consider the downward corrections as another buying opportunity.
As long as gold remains within the price channel, there is still a long-term main uptrend, with the main support from the EMA21 and the short-term trend is highlighted by the price channel.
For now, gold is capped by the $3,135 level, once this level is broken above gold, there will be conditions to continue to refresh the all-time high set on yesterday's trading day with the next target being the $3,172 price point of the 1% Fibonacci extension.
During the day, the bullish outlook of gold will be highlighted by the following technical levels.
Support: $3,108 – $3,100 – $3,086
Resistance: $3,135 – $3,149 – $3,172

Gold Prices Hover Near Record Highs Ahead of Trump’s TariffGold Prices Hover Near Record Highs Ahead of Trump’s Tariff Announcement
As shown on the XAU/USD chart today, gold prices are fluctuating near their all-time high, set when the price of an ounce surpassed $3,140 for the first time in history.
Gold has risen by approximately 19% in the first three months of 2025.
Why Is Gold Rising?
On 2 April, traders' sentiment is driving gold prices higher in anticipation of US President Trump’s tariff announcements, expected later this evening.
This event enhances gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset, as concerns grow that Trump’s aggressive trade policies could slow global economic growth and fuel inflation.
Additionally, media reports highlight strong demand for gold from central banks, while exchange-traded funds linked to the precious metal are seeing capital inflows from investors concerned about geopolitical uncertainty.
Technical Analysis of XAU/USD
Gold price movements have formed two ascending channels in 2025: a broader blue channel and a steeper purple channel.
Notably, gold is currently trading near the midpoints of both channels, indicating that supply and demand may have reached equilibrium after buyers broke through resistance around $3,088 (marked by an arrow).
It is likely that XAU/USD will exhibit low volatility until news about Trump’s tariffs emerges. This could trigger sharp price movements, with a potential test of the purple channel’s boundaries in the near future.

Gold accumulated motivation for promising increasing!Today, gold continues to attract some buyers after yesterday's retreat from record highs amid persistent safe-haven demand, driven by concerns about a global economic recession due to tariffs. Furthermore, expectations of Fed rate cuts and lack of interest in buying USD provide additional support for XAU/USD.
Currently, the metal is moving around $3,130 and upside potential remains highly rated as the EMA 34 and 89 lines continue to act as dynamic support levels. Additionally, historical bullish patterns are repeating themselves, suggesting that after this period of retreat and consolidation, an impressive upward movement is expected.
Bullish momentum to extend?WTI Oil (XTI/USD) is falling towards the pivot which has been identified as a pullback support and could bounce to the 1st resistance which is a pullback resistance.
Pivot: 69.86
1st Support: 68.71

Gold running out of Gas to keep pushing up!I have been waiting for a solid pull back. Price looks like it wants to give it up. But since it is so bullish I have to wait for it to show its hand first before assuming. If price wants to continue with the strong bullish action I feel they need to come back and correct some of the price action first. Looking for signs they want to continue for Asian Session.
USOIL Strategy Analysis: will riseThe threat of secondary tariffs on Russian and Iranian oil by Trump is a factor closely watched by the market. Although he has no immediate intention to implement it for the time being, the future supply risk is gradually rising.
The uncertainty in the market comes not only from tariff policies, but also from potential sanctions on the supplies from Russia and Iran, as well as the impact of OPEC+'s production increase.
Oil trading strategy:
buy @ 70.95-71.15
sl 70.3
tp 71.65-71.85

GOLD - 1H UPDATEGold is still sitting above the previous 'Wave 4 low' which shows not internal structure has been broken to the downside. Until that low is broken, there's nothing indicating a sell off is yet to take place, so it's possible we could see another push up, after SOME CONSOLIDATION. This is known as a 'redistribution phase'.
We also have the Zionist puppet Donald Trump announcing more Tariffs later on more countries, so expect some market volatility across the board.
Gold - Price is at resistance with bearish RSI divergencePrice is at resistance with bearish RSI divergence (overbought at 72.39) and a potential double top forming. Volume is declining, indicating weakening momentum.
Stochastic Oscillator (14, 1, 3): The Stochastic is at 90.48, well into the overbought territory (above 80). This indicates that the price may be overextended and due for a pullback.
Relative Strength Index (RSI, 14): The RSI is at 72.39, also in the overbought zone (above 70). Additionally, there’s a bearish divergence—while the price made a higher high near $3,135.060, the RSI made a lower high, signaling weakening momentum.
Simple Moving Average (SMA, 14, 2) on RSI: The RSI’s SMA is at 68.05, showing that the RSI is still elevated but trending downward, supporting the bearish divergence.
Resistance Rejection: The price is failing to break through the $3,132.528–$3,135.060 resistance zone, as evidenced by the red circle showing a sharp rejection.
Bearish Divergence: The RSI (72.39) shows a bearish divergence, indicating that the upward momentum is fading despite the price hitting a higher high.
Overbought Indicators: Both the Stochastic (90.48) and RSI (72.39) are in overbought territory, suggesting the price is overextended and likely to correct.
Volume Decline: Decreasing volume on the recent push to resistance indicates a lack of buying conviction, increasing the likelihood of a reversal.
Double Top Potential: The price action near $3,135.060 resembles a double top pattern, a bearish reversal setup, especially with the rejection at this level.
Monitor for Confirmation: Watch for a bearish candlestick pattern (e.g., a shooting star or bearish engulfing) on the 5-minute chart to confirm the reversal before entering the trade.
Risk Management: Only risk a small percentage of your account (e.g., 1-2%) on this trade. Adjust position size based on the stop loss distance.
XAUUSD M15 | Bearish Fall Based on the M15 chart analysis, we can see that the price has just reacted off our sell entry at 3133.65, which is a multi-swing high resistance.
Our take profit will be at 3119.35, a pullback support level that aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement.
The stop loss will be placed at 3150.50, which is above the swing high resistance.

Gold waited for a clear move!Currently, gold prices are attracting some dip buyers after the previous day's pullback from record highs amid persistent safe-haven demand, driven by concerns over a global economic downturn due to tariffs. Furthermore, expectations of a Fed rate cut and the lack of USD buying interest provide additional support for FX:XAUUSD
From a technical perspective, we see the Bollinger Bands showing signs of price narrowing, indicating that long-term buying or selling at this moment is risky. We are looking for key areas to buy or sell as the main trend remains sideways. For instance, if the price drops below 3145, we might consider selling, while a rise above 3105 could signal a buying opportunity.
Happy trading, and may your trades be profitable!
