XAUUSD Bullish break-out targeting $3000 about to happenGold (XAUUSD) has been trading within a 15-month Channel Up (since the October 06 2023 Low) and it's been under bearish pressure since the most recent October 30 2024 Higher High of the pattern.
The consolidation around the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) since the November 14 2024 Low formed a Triangle pattern that is consistent with the previous two bottom formations (Higher Lows) of the Channel Up.
More specifically, last Friday's rejection on the 1D MA50 is technically the 3rd since the November 14 2024 Low. In the previous two bottom formations, Gold never had a 4th rejection, on the contrary when it broke above the 1D MA50 after the 3rd, it also broke above the Triangle patterns, and technically initiated the new Bullish Leg of the pattern.
The 1D MACD sequences are also similar among those fractals, in fact we just completed the 2nd Bullish Cross below the 0.000 level, which was the Buy Signal before the 1D MA50/ Triangle top bullish break-out.
As a result, we expect the new Bullish Leg to start soon and since both previous rallies have been at least +21.85%, our Target now is even below that estimate at $3000.

GOLD → Pressure from the bears. Why are we falling?FX:XAUUSD does not react to strong support levels. The bulls, despite the positive background for them, could not keep the defense above the key structure. Weak structure on the D1 timeframe.
A complex structure is forming on the D1 indicating that the uptrend support is under pressure. That is, if this area is broken, there could be momentum in the market through capitulation. Fundamentally, the market is not reacting to the escalated situation in the middle east and eastern Europe, accepting what is happening at the moment. China has promised increased financial support for the economy and this could attract new capital into the gold market.
Markets are likely to trade cautiously as they prepare for a series of labor market data from the US later this week.
Resistance levels: 2637, 2648, 2664
Support levels: 2615, 2606, 2600
Technically, the price is inside the local ascending channel, but in the selling zone. Due to bearish pressure, the price may head down and test the 2600 area. But where to go from here? The reaction to the 2600 area after the retest will tell us.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [January 06 - January 10]OANDA:XAUUSD are almost trading in a narrow range throughout the Christmas holiday and New Year 2025. Currently, gold prices have not yet escaped the triangle model of the H4 technical chart.
Entering 2025, three important factors can shape the price of gold. First, the big event will take place on January 20 this year when Donald Trump takes office as US President. Mr. Trump is likely to put pressure on the FED to influence the interest rate environment.
Second, Mr. Trump will heat up the trade war with other countries, especially with Canada, Mexico, Europe and China. This means economic growth could suffer and geopolitical instability could linger.
Third, we are in a period where most investors will reallocate investment flows into their portfolios. As economic and political variables are gradually changing.
In the long term, gold prices may continue to be influenced by the above factors. But in the short term this week, the market will focus on important US economic data, such as manufacturing and service PMI index; Employment indicators: ADP, NFP, unemployment rate... If US employment figures, especially NFP, increase stronger than expected, gold prices will be under pressure to adjust. On the contrary, if US employment figures continue to decline sharply, it will positively support gold prices.
📌Technically, from a short-term perspective this week, there are 2 resistance levels to pay attention to: the resistance level at 2685 and the round resistance level at 2600. In case the resistance level is broken, corresponding to the price breaking through the Downtrend line, the price will Gold will continue to maintain its upward trend to the 2720-2790 thresholds respectively. In the opposite case, if the gold price drops from the Uptrend line, we will see a scenario where the price drops back around the 2530 threshold.
Notable technical levels are listed below.
Support: 2,634 – 2,604 – 2,600USD
Resistance: 2,664 – 2,693USD
SELL XAUUSD PRICE 2686 - 2684⚡️
↠↠ Stoploss 2690
BUY XAUUSD PRICE 2599 - 2601⚡️
↠↠ Stoploss 2595
GOLD → Retest of the level after its breakoutFX:XAUUSD inside the new flat is looking for strong support. The fundamental backdrop is complex and amid high risks, buyers are looking for a safe haven
Fundamentally, the situation is complex, the weakening of gold is influenced only by the hawkish stance of the Fed and the growth of the dollar. But the pressure for further growth is exerted by many other factors: the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Trump's protectionist policies toward europe, asia. Geopolitical risks in the world.
Technically, the price is testing a strong support area after breaking through resistance.
Below is the key Fibo level of 0.5 - 0.7, which may play the role of the lower boundary from which the bulls will start an aggressive game.
Support levels: 2637, 2630, 2616
Resistance levels: 2649, 2665
In general, I am more inclined for a medium-term decline, but the local situation is quite tense and complicated.
If the bulls hold 2630 - 2640, the gold will continue to rise
If the bulls lose, the price will form a deeper correction with the possibility of further prolongation of the fall.

GOLD → Breaking the resistance level. Growing interestFX:XAUUSD enjoys interest despite the growing dollar. Geopolitical and economic crisis is the reason for seeking safe harbor. The price is breaking resistance and trying to renew local highs
On the first trading day of the new 2025, gold rose along with DXY amid escalating geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and eastern Europe and rising tensions around the upcoming policies of Trump and the Fed.
Traders are awaiting US manufacturing PMI data from ISM and the Fed President's speech due later on Friday for more trade stimulus for the gold price.
Support levels: 2649, 2639
Resistance levels: 2675, 2690
A false breakdown of key support areas is possible. If after the false breakdown the bulls hold the defense above 2639 - 2649, gold may strengthen to 2675 - 2690 in the short term.

GOLD soars on positive conditions, despite USD strengthOANDA:XAUUSD continued to increase after a strong increase in yesterday's trading day. Gold price is currently at about 2,663 USD/ounce. Despite the strength of the US Dollar, spot gold still rose to its highest level in more than two weeks, due to safe-haven buying and falling US bond interest rates. The market is rushing to open positions before the Trump administration's tariff and trade policies are introduced.
US media exclusively reported: Biden discussed a plan to attack Iran's nuclear facility before Trump took office
US President Joe Biden has discussed plans to attack Iran's nuclear facilities before Trump's inauguration on January 20 if Tehran accelerates its development of nuclear weapons, US website Axios reported.
Reuters reported that Russia carried out drone attacks in Kiev early Wednesday morning, causing damage to two areas, while Israel attacked a community near Gaza City. The market at the beginning of the year will pay close attention to the development of geopolitical risks. Any sign of tension in the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine could send the price of gold, the traditional safe haven, higher.
Gold is considered a hedge against geopolitical instability and discovery risk, but because it doesn't earn interest, it does better in a low interest rate environment.
The latest report from Britain's Reuters today (Friday) said that Gaza authorities said an Israeli air strike on Thursday killed at least 68 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including a tent camp and people standing head of the Hamas-controlled police force in the Gaza Strip. His deputy and nine evacuees died there.
The attack took place in the Al-Mawasi area, which was previously designated a humanitarian zone for civilians during the 14-month war between Israel and Hamas, which rules Gaza.
According to the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry, Gaza police chief Mahmoud Salah and his assistant Hussam Shahwan were killed in the attack while they were checking in refugees.
The Gaza Interior Ministry added in a statement: "By committing the crime of assassinating the Gaza Strip police chief, the occupiers are determined to spread chaos in (the enclave) and deepen the suffering of people."
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
After struggling for quite a while in the area of the 0.618% Fibonacci retracement level yesterday, since gold broke this important confluence around 2,634 USD, it has had bullish conditions in the short term.
The area of POC Volume Profile with EMA21 and Fibonacci 0.618% now becomes a short-term support area.

GOLD maintains a narrow recovery rangeOANDA:XAUUSD Spot delivery maintains a recovery trend and narrow range during the day. As of the time of writing, gold price is currently trading at about 2,633 USD/ounce. On this trading day, investors will pay attention to many important data such as the number of initial jobless claims in the United States, PMI and the housing market, which are expected to stimulate activate market conditions and create market volatility.
Today (Thursday), seasonally adjusted initial unemployment claims in the United States for the week of December 28 will be released, expected to be 224,000, compared to 219,000 the previous week.
If the latest initial unemployment claims are lower than expected, this will have a positive impact on the US Dollar and affect the price of gold and major non-US currencies.
On the same day, the final value of the US Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for December will be announced, expected to be 48.3.
US construction spending in November will be released, with the monthly rate expected to increase 0.3%.
On the daily chart it's OANDA:XAUUSD is still trading in a very narrow operating range, with temporary short-term rallies still limited by pressure from the EMA21 and the 0.618% Fibonacci retracement level. Note to readers in digital publications out first.
Temporarily, gold's trend is quite neutral with the possibility of accumulation depicted by the purple triangle. However, based on the current position, gold has more conditions to decrease in price with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) still below level 50, level 50 is considered resistance or support for RSI depending on conditions. RSI's lawsuit.
On the other hand, gold could open a new bearish cycle once it is sold below the 0.786% Fibonacci level and the subsequent target of $2,538 in the short term. Even if gold recovers above EMA21, it is still unable to create a concrete uptrend, with pressure from the upper edge of the purple price triangle.
Using the POC Volume Profile we will also see that the area around 2,634 – 2,640USD is an area where a lot of trading occurs, this should be considered a pressure area given gold's current position.
During the day, gold's trend is neutral with technical conditions tilted to the downside and notable levels are listed below.

XAUUSD Last pull-back before a 2695 reboundGold (XAUUSD) is currently pulling back around the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line), as it failed to sustain a rebound following the December 18 Low. Despite this technical weakness, this seems to be (based on the previous November 25 - December 05 accumulation) the final bearish Leg before a rebound.
We are expecting at least a 0.786 Fibonacci test at 2695.

GOLD → A chance for growth or a trap?FX:XAUUSD continues to give hope to the bulls, trading inside a local rising channel resembling a flag on the background of a local bearish trend.
Further upside for the gold price may remain limited as the US dollar remains underpinned by the Fed's hawkishness.
This begs the question: what will happen to rates? Hold or rise?
It is worth understanding that the rise in inflation expectations against the backdrop of Trump's protectionist policy requires an increase in interest rates.
In addition, statistically, the dollar enjoys interest towards the end of the year, and because of the Christmas holidays
Technically, I am still skeptical about a possible strong growth, as the fundamental background is weak. Technically, the price may bounce from any nearby strong level.
Resistance levels: 2633, 2650
Support levels: sma, 2606
We may not expect strong moves at the end of the year, the market is already celebrating the end of 2024. But the probability is there. Emphasis on the nearest strong levels from which the fall may resume
Regards R. Linda!
Happy Holidays to all and a productive new year 2025!
GOLD tries to recover after the holidayOn this trading day, gold traders OANDA:XAUUSD will need to focus on data on initial jobless claims in the US, which could have an impact on market trends in the short term.
The seasonally adjusted number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits for the week of December 21 will be released today (Thursday) and is expected to be 224,000.
Data released last week showed initial jobless claims in the United States fell from 242,000 to 220,000 in the week ended December 14, below expectations of 230,000, showing signs that the labor market movement is still steady.
If the latest initial unemployment claims turn out to be lower than expected, this will have a positive impact on the US Dollar and a negative impact on the price of gold and major non-US currencies.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold has recovered from the technical level of $2,613, but the recovery is still limited by the upper edge of the price channel, along with the nearest resistance level noted at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement point. % and EMA21.
Considering the current price position, gold still has a technical outlook of falling in price with the main trend being noticed by the price channel. On the other hand, the Relative Strength Index has not yet surpassed the 50 level, the 50 level is considered resistance/support depending on the position of the RSI and on the current daily chart it is considered a resistance.
In the short term, if gold falls below the technical level of $2,613 it will have room to fall a bit further with a target level then around $2,600 and more to the $2,592 price point of the 0.786% Fibonacci retracement. .
As long as gold does not break above the price channel, with price activity stabilizing above the EMA21, it remains biased to the downside, with notable levels listed below. Along with that, using POC Volume Profile, at 2,646USD there is also a large trading volume, this position should also be considered a technical resistance.

GOLD → A reversal pattern for a further fallFX:XAUUSD is consolidating below the key point - 2620. Against the backdrop of a strong and growing dollar, gold has a chance to test local lows
Gold price gains are likely to remain subdued as the US dollar continues to be supported by the hawkishness of the Federal Reserve at its December meeting. Trump's protectionist policies are fueling inflation expectations, setting the stage for higher interest rates.
In addition, amid Christmas holidays and reduced trading volumes, market participants are inclined to maintain positions in the US currency.
Thus, gold is still seen as an attractive instrument to sell in case of attempts of its recovery, except for cases of sudden geopolitical aggravations, for example, in the regions of the Middle East or Eastern Europe.
Resistance levels: 2620 - 2622, 2633
Support levels: 2606, 2590
Emphasis on 2622. If the bears keep the price below this zone, it is worth looking at local support levels, as a breakdown of these levels will only strengthen the fall to 2600-2560.

XAUUSD: Bullish trend intact. Cycle target 3,100Gold may just be neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 45.126, MACD = -15.410, ADX = 31.343) due to the December's consolidation but on the 1M timeframe the Channel Up is very much intact and is immitating that of 2019 so far. Basically since late 2020, Gold has been replicating the post-2016 Cycle, which started with a 3 year accumulation period that led to the 2019-2020 Channel Up. This topped on the 3.0 Fibonacci extension. This is enough for us to keep us bullish (TP = 3,100).

GOLD trading liquidity is low during the Christmas holidayAmid sluggish trading during the holiday season, OANDA:XAUUSD decreased slightly, dragged down by the strength of the US Dollar and high US Treasury bond yields. And the market needs to wait for clearer signals from the Federal Reserve's 2025 monetary policy.
Although the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points last week, this signaled fewer rate cuts in 2025, sending gold prices to their lowest since mid-month 11 last week.
While non-yielding gold benefits from the low interest rate environment, the market will need to readjust expectations for the year ahead.
The Federal Reserve's hawkish stance and fewer interest rate cuts in 2025 have weighed on gold prices, and gold will face pressure during the holiday week.
Interest rate cuts initially boosted gold prices, but the Fed's forecast of only two rate cuts by 2025 (down from four in September) sparked a sell-off that sent gold prices to lows. lowest since mid-November.
With economic data limited this week due to the Christmas holiday, gold prices are expected to remain in a tight range. Liquidity remains low, reducing volatility and keeping price action subdued.
Gold has hit multiple record highs this year and is up 27% year to date, its best annual gain since 2010, thanks to strong central bank buying, geopolitical tensions and monetary policy monetary easing by major banks.
President-elect Donald Trump will take office on January 20. The market is about to return to trading in a Donald Trump environment, we cannot forget the trading period when he was in office, how the market fluctuated with his emotions on each line.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold continues to maintain activity below the confluence resistance area noted by readers in yesterday's publication at the upper price channel edge and the 0.618% Fibonacci level, to maintain the trend. main discount.
While the recovery has been limited, gold is also trading above the $2,613 technical level, and gold could fall a bit further with a target of around $2,591 as it is sold below $2,613.
The relative strength index (RSI) is operating below 50, which should be considered a negative signal for the trend of gold prices.
During the day, as long as gold remains below the EMA21, the upper price channel edge and the 0.618% Fibonacci, it remains inclined towards a bearish outlook with notable technical points listed as follows.

GOLD recovered quite strongly, falling after FOMCOn the Asian market today (Thursday, December 19), OANDA:XAUUSD Spot trading recovered strongly after a sharp decline in the previous trading day. Gold price reached its highest level at the time of writing at 2,618 USD/ounce, an increase of nearly 30 USD during the day.
The market will next receive US economic data, including final third-quarter GDP and weekly unemployment claims.
Market attention will then turn to Friday's release of the U.S. personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, the Fed's preferred inflation measure, which will boost the U.S.'s copper performance. US Dollar and gold in the short term.
FOMC
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates as expected and predicted less policy easing in 2025. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said the threshold for the next rate cut could be higher, which sent the US Dollar and US Treasury yields soaring, while at the same time, Gold fell more than 2% to a one-month low in trading on Wednesday.
Federal Reserve officials cut interest rates for a third straight time on Wednesday, but lowered their forecast for the number of rate cuts next year, signaling they are increasingly cautious about being able to reduce spending. How quickly does the loan cost?
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted 11-1 on Wednesday to lower the federal funds rate to a range of 4.25%-4.5%. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack voted against, in favor of keeping interest rates unchanged.
In the FOMC policy statement, Fed officials noted that economic activity continued to expand at a solid pace. Labor market conditions have generally eased since the beginning of this year, with the unemployment rate rising but remaining low. Inflation has made progress toward the committee's 2% target but remains high.
The new Dotplot chart shows some officials expect fewer interest rate cuts next year than they estimated just a few months ago. Fed officials currently expect the benchmark interest rate to be between 3.75% - 4% by the end of 2025, which, according to the median estimate, would mean two rate cuts of 25 points each. basic.
Jerome Powell
The Fed will cut interest rates only twice next year amid rising inflation, according to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, a forecast consistent with Trump's wait-and-see approach when he returned to the White House in January.
Powell said Fed policymakers want to see more progress in reducing inflation when considering future rate-cutting strategies.
US federal funds rate futures have reflected that the Federal Reserve will leave its benchmark overnight interest rate unchanged at its policy meeting on January 28-29 next year.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
Thus, gold has enough conditions to decrease in price after falling below the 0.618% Fibonacci level and bringing price activity back below the EMA21 moving average, with a sudden impact from fundamental factors.
In the short term, although gold recovered from the 0.786% Fibonacci retracement level at $2,591, which was the bearish target noted by previous readers, it could still continue to decline further with a target around $2,538. . When the Relative Strength Index dropped below the 50 mark and was quite far from the oversold area, it showed that there is still plenty of room for price decline ahead.
During the day, gold price increases as long as they do not surpass the 0.618% Fibonacci level and EMA21 should only be considered short-term recovery.
Along with that, the downward trend in gold prices will be noticed again by the following technical levels.

Gold Analysis: Key Levels for Reversal (Dec 23, 2024)Hello, this is Greedy All-Day.
Today, we will analyze the Gold chart.
Daily Chart Analysis
Gold has shown a steady upward trend since 2017, forming consistent frames and rising in a stepwise manner. However, even within this long-term uptrend, the potential for both corrections and rebounds exists, which requires careful monitoring and strategic responses.
Currently, in the red box zone, we observe the following:
The moving averages have not yet formed a death cross, but Gold is facing resistance below both the 20-day and 60-day moving averages on the daily chart.
Additionally, the Ichimoku Cloud is acting as resistance, which is unusual compared to its usual supportive role.
The last time the Ichimoku Cloud acted as resistance was back in February 2024, making this resistance the first in nearly 10 months.
The key support level to watch is 2596.7, which served as last week’s support.
However, the possibility of a bearish scenario seems higher for the following reason:
The Lagging Span (Chikou Span), currently within the green box zone, is at risk of breaking below the candlesticks. Unless a strong rebound occurs this week, the Lagging Span may pierce through the candles, leading to additional resistance and increasing the likelihood of Gold breaking below 2596.7.
If 2596.7 is breached, the next support level is 2541.5.
While the lower limit of the bearish frame remains uncertain, the orange box zone represents the next key area to monitor. Depending on the strength of the selling pressure, Gold could potentially test the upper boundary of the orange box.
Short-Term Rebound Levels
Where can we expect a short-term rebound?
The key level to watch is the 2656.2 breakout.
After a strong bearish candlestick appeared, Gold established a short-term frame between 2656.2 and 2596.7 on the 1-hour chart. While some rebound attempts followed, Gold has failed to break above the previous high from before the bearish candle appeared. As a result, it remains outside the orange box frame.
A breakout above 2656.2 would signify entry into the lower part of the orange box frame, potentially leading to a temporary rebound.
For a complete trend reversal, Gold must break above the green box zone, which represents the long-term downtrend line.
Conclusion
Gold has shown consistent upward trends over the years, but no market can sustain perpetual growth without facing corrections. The current technical indicators suggest a strong possibility of a downward adjustment in the short term. While a temporary rebound could occur above the 2656.2 level, a failure to maintain key support at 2596.7 may lead to further declines toward 2541.5 or even the lower bounds of the orange zone.
As always, markets move in cycles. It is important to adapt to changing dynamics and remain prepared for both bullish and bearish scenarios. Patience and discipline are key—profitable opportunities always arise for those who wait for the right moment.

XAUUSD Accumulation almost over. Strong rally expected to $3000.XAUUSD (Gold) is having the market worried lately as it hasn't made a new High since October 30. Instead it has been consolidating since the November 14 Low and even broke below the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) last week.
This is far from alarming though, as the long-term pattern remains a Channel Up since the October 06 2023 bottom and in fact the current level presents a strong long-term buy opportunity as a Higher Low formation of the pattern.
As you can see, each of the 3 Bullish Legs of the Channel Up have rallied by around +20% but first they consolidated after first breaking below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for 1 month. Even the RSI sequences between their fractals are identical.
As a result, we believe that Gold may start the new Bullish Leg (4th) as early as late this week or next one and rally by at least +18.65% (rise of Bullish Leg 1), targeting $3000.

Supported by the weakening of the TVC:DXY and US Treasury bond interest rates, OANDA:XAUUSD continued to increase on Friday (December 18). However, the Fed's hawkish interest rate outlook caused gold prices to fall 0.9% last week.
The Federal Reserve's headline inflation index (PCE) showed price pressures eased last month.
According to data released by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, excluding food and energy prices, increased by 0.1% over the previous month. in November, slower than the 0.3% increase in October. The increase was slightly lower than economists' expectations of 0.2%.

At a press conference following Wednesday's interest rate decision, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the final phase of the Fed's response to inflation will be more difficult than initially expected.
“We were forecasting inflation at the end of the year, but as we got closer to the end of the year, the forecast was off a little bit,” Powell said. “I would say that's probably the biggest factor, inflation is once again missing expectations.”
So far this year, inflation has slowed but remains above the Fed's 2% target, pressured by recent unexpectedly hot monthly "core" price growth data.
According to the Fed's latest Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), the Fed expects core inflation to peak at 2.5% next year, up from a forecast of 2.2% in September and falling to 2.0%. 2% in 2026 and 2027 to 2.0%.
Higher inflation expectations, coupled with a slower pace of interest rate cuts next year, have weighed on markets.
On the other hand, the election of Donald Trump as the next president has added to this uncertainty, with some economists suggesting that the United States could face another surge in inflation if Trump makes his move. True to his campaign promises.
Policies proposed by Trump such as imposing high tariffs on imported goods, cutting taxes on businesses and restricting immigration could have an inflationary effect. These policies further complicate the Fed's future interest rate path.
