Gold

GOLD eases, fundamental support and technical momentumOANDA:XAUUSD fell in early Asian trading on May 30 after Thursday's gains, although it still had room to rise as weak US initial jobless claims data weighed on the US dollar and Trump's tariffs faced more uncertainty. Gold recovered from a weekly low of $3,245 an ounce on Thursday to break above the $3,300 an ounce mark as weak US initial jobless claims data weighed on the US dollar. As of press time, gold had fallen below the full price of $3,300, down $23 on the day and around 0.69% . The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, adding to pressure on the Federal Reserve to consider cutting interest rates. Data released on Thursday showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose last week, exceeding market expectations. The data showed initial jobless claims in the United States rose by 14,000 to 240,000 in the week ended May 24, compared with estimates of 230,000. According to the minutes of the Federal Reserve's May 6-7 meeting, policymakers acknowledged that they could face "difficult trade-offs" in the coming months, as both inflation and unemployment rise, raising the risk of a recession. Since gold does not yield interest, it typically performs well in low-interest-rate environments. Trump Tariff Ruling Overturned A U.S. trade court ruled on Wednesday that the president lacked the authority to impose tariffs, blocking most of Trump's tariffs, but on Thursday a federal appeals court agreed to the Trump administration's request to suspend the court's ruling. The U.S. government's request for an immediate administrative stay was granted, and the rulings and permanent injunctions issued by the U.S. Court of International Trade in these cases will be temporarily suspended until further notice while the court reviews the relevant motion documents, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said in its ruling. Investors will focus on the US personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, on Friday. Gold is seen as a hedge against inflation during times of economic uncertainty, and higher-than-expected PCE data would benefit the US dollar and reduce the appeal of gold, leading to a possible decline in prices. The opposite effect would be seen if PCE data were lower than expected, which would increase the likelihood of an early rate cut by the Fed, leading to a depreciation of the dollar and gold benefiting from expectations of a low-interest rate environment. Technical outlook for OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, gold is down but currently the downside momentum has been limited by the initial support area which is the confluence of EMA21 with Fibonacci retracement 0.382%, this support area has been noted by readers in the publications since the beginning of this trading week. Temporarily, gold does not have enough technical conditions to be able to increase in price in the short term, because it is still under pressure from the price channel. However, in terms of the overall and long-term trend, gold still has a main trend of increasing price, a trend noted by the price channel. In terms of momentum, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is still holding above 50, with the current RSI position at 50 being considered as the nearest support in terms of momentum. A sustained price action above the 3,300ISD price point would be considered a positive signal, while a break above the channel would qualify the bulls for a short-term target of 3,371USD. For the day, the technical outlook for gold is bullish and the key points to watch are listed below.

XAUUSD 8H: This isn’t balance — it’s broadening distributionAt first glance, it may seem like gold is consolidating. In reality, price is unfolding inside a broadening formation — a structure where highs stretch higher, lows drop deeper, and real direction vanishes behind controlled volatility. This isn’t random noise. It’s Smart Money engineering a distribution phase under the cover of market indecision. And right now, the direction is forming clearly — downward. The key moment was the failed breakout above 3357 on May 24. Volume spiked 19% above average, but the candle body collapsed. That’s a textbook deviation — a classic liquidity grab. The next candle confirmed the failure by closing back below the level, and no bullish recovery followed. Instead, price printed a lower high around 3305–3315, failing to retest the top. And when price can’t go higher — it usually goes lower. Confirmation comes from the Anchored VWAP from May 13, which was broken cleanly and never retested. That’s a major shift in control — from buyer to seller. Now price trades below VWAP, with every bullish candle fading and every bearish reaction gaining strength. This is not trend continuation. This is exhaustion. Volume profile shows the Point of Control between 3297 and 3301 — and price sits well below it. The bulk of liquidity is now overhead. That zone between 3305–3315 is where Smart Money already sold once — and if price returns there, it becomes an ideal re-entry short zone, especially if followed by rejection candles or low-volume pushups. Targets are clean: → 3228 — first liquidity shelf. → 3164 — former impulse base. → 3084 — if breakdown accelerates. Everything lines up: deviation, failed breakout, VWAP lost, volume fading, lower highs forming. This isn’t a pause. This is a phase transition — and the market already voted.

Identifying and understanding FVGsGold has absorbed liquidity over the past two days, and there was high volume on the previous day. I expect a 'seek and destroy' move today. If that doesn't happen, the market is still in a 4-hour bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG). The market should move upward from here, potentially reaching the Daily High (DH). If this doesn't occur, then 'seek and destroy' is expected. Do your own research; this is not financial advice. Detailed Explanation: Liquidity Absorption: Over the past two days, gold has been consolidating, absorbing liquidity. This means that the market has been gathering orders, setting the stage for a significant price move. High Volume on Previous Day: The previous day's high trading volume indicates strong market interest and participation, often preceding a substantial price movement. 'Seek and Destroy' Expectation: This term refers to a market behavior where price moves to eliminate stop-loss orders, often leading to a sharp price movement. Traders anticipate this to capture liquidity before a significant move. 4-Hour Bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG): A Fair Value Gap is an area on a price chart that represents an imbalance in the market caused by rapid price movements. A bullish FVG on the 4-hour chart suggests that the market has moved quickly upwards, leaving behind unfilled orders. Traders often expect the price to return to this gap, providing an opportunity to enter trades in the direction of the prevailing trend. Daily High (DH) Target: The Daily High represents the highest price level reached during the current trading day. Traders often monitor this level as a potential target for price movement. 'Seek and Destroy' Revisited: If the anticipated price movement does not occur, traders may look for a 'seek and destroy' scenario, where the market moves to eliminate stop-loss orders, potentially leading to a sharp price movement. Disclaimer: The statement advises conducting your own research and clarifies that the information provided is not financial advice. Trading Strategy! Liquidity Absorption: Recognizing periods of consolidation and liquidity absorption can help traders anticipate potential breakout points. Volume Analysis: Monitoring trading volume can provide insights into market interest and potential price movements. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Trading: Identifying and understanding FVGs can offer opportunities for entering trades in the direction of the prevailing trend. Risk Management: Always conduct your own research and consider seeking advice from financial professionals before making trading decisions. DYOR!

Gold INTRADAY bullish consolidation supported at 3250Gold continues to exhibit a bullish overall sentiment, supported by a well-established rising trend on the higher timeframes. However, recent intraday price action has transitioned into a consolidation phase, signalling temporary indecision following the latest bullish move. Key Technical Levels: Support: 3250 – Critical near-term support; also the previous consolidation zone. A successful retest here would reinforce bullish structure. 3220 – Secondary support; a break below 3250 may prompt a move towards this level. 3200 – Major downside support; a breach would suggest a broader corrective phase. Resistance: 3345 – Initial upside target if bullish momentum resumes. 3367 – Intermediate resistance; a break here would strengthen the bullish breakout. 3410 – Longer-term resistance; a target for sustained bullish extension. Technical Outlook: A corrective pullback toward 3250, followed by a bullish reversal, would confirm a continuation pattern and open the way toward 3345/3367/3410 over a medium to longer-term horizon. Conversely, a daily close below 3250 would invalidate the bullish bias and expose the metal to further downside toward 3220 and 3200. Conclusion: Gold remains bullish overall, but near-term direction hinges on the 3250 level. A bounce from this support reaffirms the uptrend, while a break below it warns of deeper correction. Traders should monitor price action closely around 3250 for confirmation of the next directional move.

XAUUSD: The LH trendline is the difference maker.Gold is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 54.327, MACD = 32.010, ADX = 35.582), staying under the high impact LH trendline that has been keeping the medium term trend bearish since the April 22nd High. As long as the price is under it, we are short, aiming for the S1 level (TP = 3,246) and not below it as the 1D MA50 offers long term support. If the price closes a 1D candle over the LH trendline, we will turn long and aim for a +7.39% rise from the bottom (TP = 3,485), which has already taken place twice in the past 30 days. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

XAUUSD Sniper Plan – May 29, 2025“Grip the Zones or Get Gripped – GDP & Claims Are Loading” Hey GoldFxMinds crew! 🧠🚨 Hope your charts are zoomed in and your mind is zoomed out — because today is calm before the storm.

Watch RSI divergence and HTF reaction. 🟢 DISCOUNT ZONES – BUY INTEREST 🟩 3285–3295 • Active H1 demand zone • EMA200 support + Asia bounce confirmed • RSI support holding around 38–40 🦅 Long Setup: M5/M15 CHoCH + bullish engulf = sniper trigger. 🟩 3260–3270 • Unfilled FVG + lower OB from Tuesday • Mid-range retest level 🦅 Buyers: If NY dips below 3285, this is your second line. Wait for PA shift. 🟩 3235–3250 • HTF demand + deep discount zone • Untapped FVG + BOS origin 🦅 Last Bullet Zone: If we nuke below all structure — this is where smart money waits. ⚡ MID-ZONE CONTROL ⚡ 3300–3308 • NY equilibrium • Likely to chop — not for entries 🦅 Use for direction bias only after London open. 📊 STRUCTURE SNAPSHOT – H1 + M30 CHoCH confirmed → 3174 to 3285 HL Bullish continuation possible if 3295 holds Rejection from refined 3314–3320 zone = intraday short trigger If we clear 3320 cleanly → expect test of 3335–3360 🧠 MACRO & NEWS CONTEXT 🗓 Tomorrow: • 🧾 Unemployment Claims • 📉 Prelim GDP Big folders = big liquidity sweeps. Today, the market builds traps for tomorrow’s trigger. 🎯 BATTLE PLAN Buy from 3285–3295 only with M5 confirmation. Sell from 3314–3320 only on rejection + CHoCH. Prepare backup buys from 3260 and 3245 if structure breaks. Avoid trading in 3300–3308 – it's a trap range. 🚨 Final Note – Be The Trader, Not The Liquidity Today’s game is reaction, not prediction. Price is setting the stage — your job is to read the script and play the sniper role. 🎯 💬 Drop a comment if you’re watching the 3314 zone like a hawk. ❤️ Smash that like & follow if these breakdowns sharpen your entries.

XAUUSD – Post-FOMC Trading Plan | Key Resistance: 3308 – 3310XAUUSD – Post-FOMC Trading Plan | Key Resistance: 3308 – 3310 📊 MACRO UPDATE – After the FOMC Decision: The Fed kept interest rates unchanged as expected, but the tone remained hawkish. Chairman Powell reiterated that inflation remains too high and ruled out any near-term rate cuts, signaling prolonged restrictive policy. This led to a swift rebound in the US Dollar and Treasury yields, weighing on gold. However, XAUUSD bounced back late in the session, suggesting the market is re-evaluating key technical zones post-announcement. 📉 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – H1/H4 Chart Structure: Gold remains in a corrective descending structure but is now reacting around key Fibonacci levels. The 13–34–89 EMAs provide dynamic support and resistance, and a potential double bottom has formed near the 3245–3247 zone. 🧠 Two key levels to watch: 3308–3310: major resistance with trendline + FVG confluence 3245–3247: strong horizontal support + Fib 0.618 retracement 🎯 TRADE SETUPS: 🔵 BUY ZONE: 3247 – 3245 Stop-Loss: 3241 Take-Profit: 3251 → 3255 → 3260 → 3264 → 3270 → 3275 → 3280 🔵 BUY SCALP: 3263 – 3261 Stop-Loss: 3257 Take-Profit: 3266 → 3270 → 3275 → 3280 → 3290 → 3300 🔴 SELL SCALP: 3294 – 3296 Stop-Loss: 3300 Take-Profit: 3290 → 3286 → 3282 → 3278 → 3274 → 3270 → 3260 🔴 SELL ZONE: 3308 – 3310 Stop-Loss: 3314 Take-Profit: 3304 → 3300 → 3296 → 3292 → 3288 → 3280 📌 STRATEGIC OUTLOOK: Unless price breaks above 3310 with strong momentum, sellers are still in control short term. Any rejection from the resistance zone could offer clean short entries. A breakout, however, would shift sentiment and expose 3340–3360 next. Patience is key — let price react before committing to entries.

Gold XAUUSD Move 29 May 2025Price Action: The price recently approached the 3,320-3,325 resistance zone (highlighted by horizontal lines) and rejected it, forming a bearish candlestick pattern (e.g., shooting star / doji). This suggests strong selling pressure at this level. Trendline: The trendline from the recent high shows a potential double top or head-and-shoulders pattern, reinforcing the likelihood of a reversal. Support Levels: Immediate support lies around 3290/80 (previous consolidation zone). Volume (implied): A spike in selling volume at 3,320-3,325 could confirm the rejection. Analysis: The rejection at 3,320-3,325, combined with the trendline break, indicates a potential sell-off. The market may be shifting from bullish to bearish momentum, especially if the price closes below the recent low. Signal: Sell at 3,320-3,325 if the price rejects again with a bearish candle confirmation. Target 3,200-3,250, stop loss above 3,335.

Gold (XAUUSD) Technical & Fundamental UpdateOverview: Gold OANDA:XAUUSD on the 4-hour chart is currently in a corrective phase after a recent bounce, but the overall structure remains bearish with clear downside risk. ________________________________________ Key Observations: Price Action: Gold is trading around $3,319 after a recent rebound from the $3,272–$3,243 support zone. The price is now testing a resistance area highlighted by the previous consolidation zone, suggesting that upside momentum is facing challenges. Supply and Demand Zones: • There is a visible supply (resistance) zone around $3,320–$3,340, where sellers previously stepped in. • Multiple demand (support) zones are marked below, especially near the Fibonacci retracement levels at $3,272 (38.2%), $3,243 (50.0%), and $3,214 (61.8%). Fibonacci Levels: The chart uses a Fibonacci retracement from the recent swing low to high: • 38.2% at $3,272 • 50% at $3,243 • 61.8% at $3,214 These levels are aligning with key demand zones, increasing their significance for potential bounces or reversals. Trend Structure: Despite the recent recovery, lower highs and lower lows dominate the chart, indicating a bearish trend. The failure to break above the $3,340 resistance keeps the downside scenario in play. ________________________________________ Fundamental Drivers Safe-Haven Demand Weakening: Easing tariff risks and improved global risk sentiment have reduced demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. The recent US court ruling against Trump-era tariffs and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut later in 2025 are shifting market dynamics. Macro Themes: • A hawkish Fed or further de-escalation of geopolitical tensions could pressure gold lower. • Persistent inflation or renewed global risks could limit the downside and trigger rebounds

Technical Analysis on XAU/USD (Gold vs USD) – Bullish Reversal📊 Chart Overview: This chart of XAU/USD (Gold) on a lower timeframe shows a potential bullish reversal setup. The price action has formed a series of lower highs and lower lows, but now a bullish momentum is building up, suggesting a possible breakout to the upside. 🔍 Key Observations: 🟠 Swing Points Identified: The orange circles mark significant swing highs and lows, clearly outlining a recent downtrend. The latest swing low (bottom-right) shows a strong rejection with a bullish engulfing candle forming, indicating buyer interest. 📦 Demand Zone (Support Area): The grey rectangle near the lower region marks a demand zone where buyers have stepped in before. Price has reacted strongly from this zone again, validating it as a key support level. 📉 Resistance Turned Potential Breakout Zone: The red line (~3,291.416) represents a resistance level that was previously support. Price has broken above it and now appears to be retesting it, indicating a possible retest-confirmation for a bullish continuation. 🎯 Target & Risk Management: ✅ Entry: Confirmed breakout and retest around 3,291. 📈 Target: 3,364.819 (green zone above), based on previous resistance. ❌ Stop Loss: Below 3,267.772, the recent swing low. The setup offers a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. 🧭 Projection Path: The white arrowed path illustrates a likely pullback before continuation upward, suggesting a bullish structure if confirmed. ✅ Conclusion: Gold is showing signs of a bullish reversal from a well-defined demand zone, with a potential rally toward the 3,365 area. A successful retest of the broken resistance as new support would strengthen the bullish bias. 📌 Watch closely for confirmation candles on the retest before entering.

XAUUSD - Will Gold Continue to Fall?!Gold is trading in its ascending channel on the 1-hour timeframe, between the EMA200 and EMA50. I expect the direction ahead for gold to be bullish and if it breaks the downtrend line, we can look for buying opportunities. The U.S. dollar rose following a decision by the United States Court of International Trade to revoke tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. Since the Trump administration, there have been continual developments regarding tariffs, and this latest ruling, which blocks Trump’s retaliatory tariffs, has stirred uncertainty and confusion over its legal validity. The ruling also triggered a correction in gold’s upward trend. According to the U.S. Constitution, the power to impose tariffs officially resides with Congress. However, since 1962, much of this authority has been delegated to the executive branch. Courts have historically upheld this delegation to the president, but this recent judgment casts doubt on the legitimacy of such executive powers. The pressing question now is whether Trump can circumvent the ruling. Could he potentially ignore it or take counteraction? Any move by Trump in response would undoubtedly ripple through the financial markets. Goldman Sachs has characterized the court’s decision as a new obstacle for Trump’s trade strategy, though it notes the ruling only applies to part of the tariffs.Analysts at the firm believe Trump may find legal or procedural means to work around the court’s decision, possibly introducing new strategies to maintain his tariff agenda. Citing customs data, ING commodity analysts Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey reported that despite record-high prices, China’s gold imports reached their highest level in eleven months last month. Since the beginning of the year, gold prices have surged by more than 20%. Total gold imports climbed to 127.5 metric tons, marking a 73% increase from the previous month. This sharp rise followed the People’s Bank of China’s issuance of new import quotas to select commercial banks in April. With a year-to-date gain exceeding 20%, gold hit an all-time high of $3,500 per ounce in April. Key drivers of this rally include geopolitical risk and sustained purchases by central banks. In the broader metals sector, China’s refined copper production in April reached a new monthly record, rising 9% year-on-year to 1.25 million metric tons, even as processing fees remained low. Meanwhile, lead production declined by 1% from the previous year to 664,000 tons, while zinc output edged up by 0.3% to 576,000 tons. According to the International Aluminium Institute, global aluminum production in April remained flat compared to the prior month, averaging 201,100 metric tons per day. However, on a year-over-year basis, output increased by 2.24%.
