GOLD (GC) Weekly Recap & Game Plan 20/07/2025🪙 GOLD (GC) Weekly Recap & Game Plan
📊 Market Context:
Price is currently forming an accumulation pattern.
The purple zone marks a key weekly demand zone, and I expect a potential bounce from that level.
I'm closely watching for trendline deviations to determine the directional bias.
🎯 Game Plan:
If price drops below the trendline and bounces from the weekly demand, I’ll look for longs targeting the bearish trendline.
If price taps the bearish trendline and shows clear rejection, I’ll look for shorts targeting the bullish trendline.
I'll wait for LTF confirmations before entering any position.
✅ Follow for weekly recaps & actionable game plans.
Gold
Gold. - Bullish (structure still valid) • Daily: Maintaining higher lows along the trendline. Strong support at 3,300.
• 4H: Still respecting the diagonal, and showing strength despite short-term pullbacks.
• 1H: Breakout from descending trendline and now retesting the breakout zone at 3,350.
⚠️ Watch For:
• Clean bullish break above 3,365 confirms new impulse wave toward 3,400+.
• Support at 3,335 must hold to avoid flipping neutral.
• Patience required if price consolidates between 3,340–3,360.

XAUUSD 4 hour Long Idea
Monthly - Bullish
Weekly - Bullish
Daily - Bullish
4hour - Bullish
GOLD,GOLD,GOLD. This thing has been bullish on all timeframes and doesn’t really show any signs of stopping just yet.
We can see two scenarios for the week ahead so let’s dive in:
Bullish continuation - Price action on gold is breaking out of a descending triangle pattern. This is a strong bullish move but for us to consider trades we want the confirmation.
Look for a retest of our 61.8% fib level and mostly recently broken structure. If we can spot bullish conviction coming off this level we can then consider targeting higher resistance levels like 3.395.000. Our -27% fib level lines up with this zone as well.
Bearish Reversal - For us to consider Gold bearish again we would need to see something very convincing. If we did see a break below 3,320.000 with a confirmed lower high I would then consider short scenarios.
Look to target toward major support levels on the way down to 3,225.000, our next monthly support zone.
GOLD ( XAUUSD ): Watching For A Short Term Buy ConfirmationIn this Weekly Market Forecast, we will analyze the Gold (XAUUSD) for the week of July 21-25th
Gold has been in consolidation for a couple of weeks now. The price action hasn't allowed for very many FVGs... until last week. There is a +FVG I am keeping an eye on, as it will be very telling how price reacts to it upon contacting this POI.
If it holds, higher prices will ensue.
If it fails, to the lows of the consolidation we go.
We'll soon see how it plays out.
Enjoy!
May profits be upon you.

Monday market forecast, pay attention to the 3339 retracement📰 News information:
1. The Trump administration puts pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates
2. The continued impact of tariffs and the responses of various countries
📈 Technical Analysis:
This week's basic judgment and forecast on the gold market trend were consistent, but on Friday, the overall gold fluctuations were not large. The overall trend of the daily line fluctuated around 3345, and the 3345 line also became a short-term long-short watershed. Although prices are likely to rise more easily than fall in the short term, it should be noted that the three-month adjustment cycle is coming to an end while the fundamentals of the bull market have not changed. It is recommended that you focus on preventing risks from short position operations next week. At the same time, the overall strong shock pattern, the anti-pulling momentum has not reached the top suppression position, and the area around 3339 below is the previous intensive trading area, which constitutes a certain support in the short term. If the market fails to effectively break below next week, it will greatly boost the bullish momentum, and it is not ruled out that there will be a possibility of refreshing the high point near 3380 next week.
On the whole, the short-term focus next week is the 3345-3335 area below. If it falls back to this point, you can consider arranging long orders. The short-term target is 3355-3365, and the strong trend is expected to continue to touch 3375-3385.
🎯 Trading Points:
BUY 3345-3335
TP 3355-3365-3375-3385
In addition to investment, life also includes poetry, distant places, and Allen. Facing the market is actually facing yourself, correcting your shortcomings, confronting your mistakes, and strictly disciplining yourself. I hope my analysis can help you🌐.

GOLD 1H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATE & TRADING PLAN FOR THE WEEKHey Everyone,
Please see our updated 1h chart levels and targets for the coming week.
We are seeing price play between two weighted levels with a gap above at 3356 and a gap below at 3331. We will need to see ema5 cross and lock on either weighted level to determine the next range.
We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

GOLD DAILY CHART ROUTE MAPHey Everyone,
Daily Chart Follow-Up – Structure Still in Full Control
Just a quick update on our daily structure roadmap. Price continues to respect our Goldturn levels with surgical precision.
After the previous bounce off 3272, we saw over 800 pips of upside follow through. That level once again proved its weight, holding beautifully as support and launching price firmly back toward the upper boundary.
Since last week’s update, nothing has changed structurally – the range remains intact and fully respected. Price is still trading between the well defined 3272 support and the untested 3433 resistance. We’ve yet to revisit 3433, which remains our key upside target and a potential inflection point.
Here’s what we’re focusing on next:
🔹 Range scenario active:
Until price breaks out cleanly, we anticipate continued swings between 3433 resistance and 3272 support. This remains the active range setup.
🔹 EMA5 cross and lock:
We’re still watching for a decisive EMA5 break and lock. Without that, we expect more range-bound action rather than a breakout.
🔹 Structure remains intact:
No EMA5 breakdown off 3272 during the recent retest means buyers are still in control. Dips into 3272 remain valid long entries within this structure.
Key Levels This Week
📉 Support – 3272
Proven bounce zone. Continues to hold structure. As long as this holds, the bias remains constructive.
📈 Resistance – 3433
Open gap + channel top confluence. Still untested. Watching for a reaction or breakout confirmation here.
Thanks again for all the continued support, your likes, comments, and follows mean the world.
Wishing you another focused and profitable week ahead!

GOLD WEEKLY CHART MID/LONG TERM ROUTE MAPHey Everyone,
Please see update on our Weekly Chart idea.
As of now, nothing has changed structurally, the framework remains fully intact, and price continues to trade cleanly within the defined range.
After delivering a rejection at the channel top, price pulled back into 3281 support, where buyers once again stepped in decisively. That level held firm on a weekly closing basis, validating it as a reliable pivot and launching price back into bounce mode.
Despite the progress, we’ve yet to test the 3387 gap, which continues to act as a short term magnet. The longer range gap at 3482 also remains open and in focus as the larger objective.
Key takeaways from the current structure:
🔹 Structure unchanged:
The rising channel remains orderly. EMA5 still hasn’t locked bearishly, and the mid-line continues to climb beneath price, maintaining a constructive bias.
🔹 Support confirmed – 3281:
Held for a second time, reaffirming its significance in the broader structure.
🔹 3387 gap still in play:
While price is gravitating toward this zone, it has not yet been tested. Expect a reaction on first contact.
Updated Levels to Watch:
📉 Immediate Support – 3281
Held again, reinforcing its status as the key structural axis.
📈 Resistance 1 – 3387
Still untested. Remains the active near term target.
📈 Resistance 2 – 3482
Unfilled weekly gap and broader objective.
Plan:
As long as 3281 continues to hold, the bias remains for a measured grind higher toward 3387 and, eventually, 3482. If 3281 fails, we’ll reassess at the rising mid line for the next structured long opportunity.
As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it!

Gold. 3310 reaction & will Buyers reach their remaining targets?Hi traders and investors!
The 3310 level worked out perfectly. We can see a familiar buy pattern forming.
If the buyer fails to push the price higher and the seller returns to the 3310 level, it's likely that the price will continue to decline on the daily timeframe toward the next nearest targets — 3244, or more likely, 3154.
For now, however, we still expect the buyer to pursue the remaining unmet targets at 3393 and 3403.
This analysis is based on the Initiative Analysis concept (IA).
Wishing you profitable trades!
HelenP I. Gold will little correct and then rise to top of wedgeHi folks today I'm prepared for you Gold analytics. If we look at the chart, we can see a clear ascending wedge pattern that has been guiding the price action. The structure is well-defined by a lower trend line providing consistent support and an upper resistance line. I believe that the key area to watch right now is the support zone between 3310 and 3295 points. The logic is that after the recent push, the price may undergo a small, healthy correction to test this zone's strength. The condition for our bullish scenario to unfold is a successful hold of this support; a bounce or signs of buyer interest in this area would be the confirmation we are looking for. Once this condition is met, I believe that gold will have enough momentum to continue its upward movement within the confines of the wedge. Therefore, the main goal for this scenario is set at 3415 points. This target is not arbitrary; it directly coincides with the resistance line of the wedge, which represents a logical point for the current upward swing to conclude. If you like my analytics you may support me with your like/comment.❤️

GOLD (XAUUSD): Sticking to the Plan
Update for my last Sunday's post for Gold.
Previously, we spotted a cup & handle pattern on a daily time frame.
It turned into an ascending triangle pattern - another bullish formation this week.
I am sticking to the same plan - our strong bullish signal is a breakout
of a neckline of the pattern and a daily candle close above 3378.
It will confirm a strong up movement.

GOLD SNIPER PLAN – July 21, 2025Hey, GoldMinds! 🔥
This isn’t just another range day — it’s the type of market that separates disciplined snipers from impulsive chasers. If you want an edge, you need a plan that’s both sharper and more refined than what most see on their charts.
After a week full of fake breakouts, confusing swings, and whipsaw price action, gold is giving us the gift of clarity — but only for those patient enough to let the market reveal itself. Here’s how you cut through the noise and focus on the only zones that actually pay.
🚩 SELL ZONES
1. Primary Supply: 3358–3370
This is the fortress where real sellers pushed back hard. The structure here is crystal clear: last week’s failed breakout, sharp rejection, and a textbook H1/M30 order block. You want the sniper entry? Wait for price to tap here and only short if you see an instant, aggressive bearish response on M15/M5 — not just a slow drift.
2. Upper Liquidity Trap: 3380–3395
Classic trap for late buyers. This is where price loves to sweep stops and trigger emotional FOMO — but the real professionals are only interested if the move fails hard. Watch for a fake breakout and sudden reversal; this is the sniper zone for “fade and run” shorts.
⚪ DECISION ZONE (Neutral / Pivot)
Pivot Range: 3335–3345
Forget this level — it’s where amateurs get chopped up. There’s no order block, no real fair value gap, just confusion and false hope. A true sniper waits here, watching, not acting.
🟢 BUY ZONES
1. Main Demand: 3326–3332
This is the engine room for bulls: a refined order block, evidence of real absorption, and a history of sharp reversals. Don’t try to anticipate — let price come here and look for a snapback move on M15/M5. This is where patient buyers take their shot.
2. Deep Demand: 3311–3320
Where the fear turns to opportunity. This zone sits under recent lows, home to panic sweeps and emotional selling. Only consider a long if you see a powerful, impulsive bounce. The risk is high, but the reward for perfect timing is even higher.
BIAS & EXECUTION
Bias: Neutral, but watch for range expansion — the market is coiling for a bigger move.
Execution:
– Only act at the true edges, never in the middle.
– Let M5/M15 price action prove your setup — the market owes you nothing.
– If a zone breaks with momentum, do not fight the flow; stand aside or prepare for the next edge.
FINAL SHOT
This is where discipline pays.
Sniper trading is about letting the market come to you and striking only when your zone lights up with confirmation. Every other move is just noise, meant to shake out the impatient.

BTC/USD Fake out before Pump | Bullish Flag formationBTC/USDT (1D) Market Outlook – July 1, 2025
Introduction
BTC is currently consolidating within a bullish flag pattern after printing a swing high at 108.9K and a recent swing low at 98K. The price sits just below a major supply zone.
Context 1: Key Zones
Supply: 104.6K – 112.1K
Demand: 74.4K – 82.5K
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): 3 zones below price, with one near 88–90K
Context 2: Technical Confluence
Liquidation Zone: 106.2K
Golden Pocket (Fib 0.618): 102.1K
Psychological Levels: 105K and 110K
Context 3: Market Structure
Pattern: Bullish flag
Trend (LTF): Sideways/consolidation
Volume Profile: Heavy activity near 105K–110K
Bullish Scenario
Breaks above 106.2K (liq zone)
Pulls back to 102.1K (golden pocket), forms higher low
Retests resistance for continuation
Alt scenario: clean breakout above resistance → ATH retest
Bearish Scenario
Breaks below 106.2K and flag support
Fills FVG, breaks prior low at 98K
Triggers macro downtrend toward 88–90K zone
Summary
BTC is at a decision point inside a bullish flag, facing supply. A break above 106.2K favors upside continuation, while rejection and a lower low could trigger a deeper retracement. Watch key levels closely.
XAUUSD H4 Outlook – Full Structure & Macro | July 21, 2025Hello, GoldMinds! 💙
After a volatile week, gold remains caught in a wide H4 range, ping-ponging between structural supply and demand. Let’s break down the current picture so you can navigate the next big moves with confidence.
🌍 Macro & Bias
Macro context:
Last week’s US CPI print triggered a temporary rally, but gold failed to hold above resistance and quickly reversed as the dollar strengthened. Next week brings Fed Chair Powell’s testimony, global PMI numbers, and jobless claims—all catalysts for new volatility.
Bias:
Neutral on H4:
Gold is consolidating inside a broad sideways range.
The market is waiting for a catalyst to break above 3375 or below 3310 before showing a real trend.
🔸 Structural Key Supply Zones (Above Price)
1️⃣ 3357–3375 | Main H4 Supply
Why it matters:
Aggressive NY and CPI rallies have been sold off here; price rejected every attempt to close above 3375. OB, liquidity cluster, inducement—this is the first real ceiling above price.
Trade logic:
Watch for M15/H1 reversal or exhaustion. No clean break = supply remains active.
2️⃣ 3384–3400 | Macro Supply
Why it matters:
All failed breakouts from early summer were stopped in this block. Liquidity pool and macro OB; every test led to sharp pullbacks.
Trade logic:
Avoid FOMO—only short with confirmation of rejection.
3️⃣ 3410–3425 | Extreme Supply
Why it matters:
The final upper ceiling for now. Any spike here is likely to see big profit-taking and volatility.
🔹 Structural Key Demand Zones (Below Price)
1️⃣ 3330–3310 | Main H4 Demand
Why it matters:
All major dips last week bounced here—bulls are active in this OB. It’s the base of the current “micro-range,” with clear LTF inducement and high volume.
Trade logic:
Look for bullish reversal (M15/H1) before trusting any long from here.
2️⃣ 3295–3275 | Swing Demand / Discount Zone
Why it matters:
The main structure support for July. Strong OB, historic liquidity sweeps—each deep flush has brought responsive buyers.
Trade logic:
Watch for reaction, but don’t knife-catch without a clear structure break.
3️⃣ 3250–3225 | Extreme Demand / HTF Liquidity Pool
Why it matters:
The “final line” for bulls. This zone has absorbed all major liquidations and created swing reversals since early spring.
📊 H4 Structure Logic
Current play:
Gold is stuck in a structural cage between 3375 and 3310.
Until price closes outside these edges, every spike is likely a liquidity hunt.
Pro move:
Only react to confirmation in these zones—don’t force trades in the mid-range!
🧠 Game Plan
Set alerts at each supply & demand zone.
Wait for confirmation: M15/H1 CHoCH, BOS, wicks, or volume.
Let the news come to you: Powell & PMI will likely force a test of an edge; be patient.

XAUUSD Daily Outlook – July 21, 2025Hey traders 💙
Gold continues to move inside a high timeframe range, with both bulls and bears defending structure at the edges. Price remains stuck between supply and demand — and only the strongest levels matter now. Here’s how the chart truly looks:
🔸 Key Supply Zones
1. 3380–3405: Main Daily Supply / Liquidity Pool Above
This is the top wall of the current range and the zone with the highest supply. Multiple failed breakouts, long upper wicks, and a clear cluster of liquidity just above. Unless we get a solid daily close above 3405, this area remains a trap for late buyers and a magnet for liquidity grabs.
2. 3355–3375: Internal Supply / Inducement Block
This zone has acted as an internal ceiling since the last CPI event. Here, price repeatedly failed to close above, and every return has produced quick rejections or fake breakouts. It often works as an inducement, catching breakout buyers and flipping the market lower.
🔹 Key Demand Zones
1. 3312–3300: Internal Demand / Mid-range Reaction
Here we see a clear reaction point where buyers have defended aggressively after CPI and NY session moves. It’s an internal demand area, often working as a temporary bounce or a place for stop hunts before larger moves.
2. 3275–3250: Main Daily Demand / Liquidity Pool Below
This is the base of the range, holding as support multiple times this month. Every dip into this zone has triggered large bounces, but the liquidity sitting below is also a key magnet for potential sweeps. Only a full daily breakdown here would flip the higher timeframe bias bearish.
📊 Technical Structure & Strategy
We are stuck between Main Supply (3380–3405) and Main Demand (3275–3250).
Every “middle” move is either inducement or a set-up for liquidity collection — not a real trend.
No daily close above 3405 → no bullish continuation.
No breakdown below 3250 → no clean bearish momentum.
Your edge: Only act when price confirms a reaction at a major zone with CHoCH/BOS, strong OB, or a liquidity sweep.
🧠 Takeaway:
This is not the time to guess direction — let the market show its intent at the edges. Use TradingView alerts on your key levels, be ready for volatility from macro news, and don’t get trapped in the mid-range games.

Weekly XAUUSD Outlook | July 21–25GoldFxMinds | Structure-Based HTF Plan
Hello traders,
This week we’re back in key HTF territory. Price is compressing inside a premium structure zone, between clean supply and demand areas. Trend is still bullish, but momentum is weakening — so we focus on structure to guide us.
🟨 Weekly Bias: Neutral | Range Structure in Play
We currently have no confirmed bullish or bearish bias on the weekly timeframe.
Gold remains trapped in a macro range between:
🟥 Upper Resistance Zone: 3355–3380
🟦 Lower Demand Zone: 3280–3240
Last week’s movement created a wick grab near 3375 followed by a strong push down, but without a clean break of structure — meaning we’re still inside a distribution–accumulation trap.
📌 Until we see a clear breakout (above 3380 or below 3280), the weekly bias remains neutral.
This is not a time to force directional trades on the weekly.
Instead, we wait for Daily and H4 confirmation, and position ourselves around the edges of this weekly range.
🔹 Last Week Recap
Weekly candle created a wick into 3377, rejecting just under previous week’s high. No BOS, no liquidity sweep with continuation — just a clear rejection inside supply, confirming premium trap.
Weekly candle closed with a top wick and small body — price is compressing under resistance. Still bullish structure, but not impulsive.
🔹 Weekly Key Structure Zones
🔸 3365–3390 (Supply)
→ Reason: Rejection from prior weekly high (3377), aligned with clean OB and FVG left behind from June breakout.
→ Structure context: No bullish BOS above 3375. This is now an unbroken supply zone with strong wick rejections. Liquidity sits above.
→ Use: Wait for price to tap back in → look for M15–H1 reaction for possible sell if no BOS above 3390.
🔸 3430–3450 (Supply - Last Line)
→ Reason: Unmitigated impulsive candle OB from prior macro swing high. This zone marks the final structure before a full continuation toward new highs.
→ Structure context: If this breaks with a strong BOS, macro structure flips bullish again.
→ Use: Only engage if price clears 3390 with strong volume and closes → watch this for last reaction zone.
🔸 3285–3260 (Demand)
→ Reason: Last bullish OB + FVG combo from early July, unmitigated. Price never retraced to this base since the rally.
→ Structure context: No BOS down yet, so this is still valid bullish origin.
→ Use: If price pulls back aggressively this week, watch this zone for LTF confirmation (CHoCH or BOS bullish). This would be a clean discount buy.
🔸 3210–3180 (Deep Demand)
→ Reason: Higher timeframe CHoCH origin zone, aligns with Fibonacci 61.8% retracement from entire May–July swing.
→ Structure context: Only in play if 3260 fails and we get clean BOS down on Daily.
→ Use: This is your swing buy zone if market breaks structure lower. Strong confluence for reaction.
🔹 HTF Structure Recap
Weekly trend: Still bullish (no BOS down), but compression under resistance
Structure range: Between 3390 and 3260 — price inside premium, no breakout yet
EMA Flow: Bullish but extended. Space for retracement.
RSI: Divergence above 3350 — supporting possible retrace.
🔹 Macro Events This Week
Tuesday: Powell speaks 🗣️ (volatility risk)
Thursday: Flash PMIs (usually directional)
Friday: Durable Goods & Home Sales 🏡
⚠️ Be patient on high-impact days. Let price come into your marked zones — don’t chase inside noise.
🔹 Summary & Plan
We are inside a macro range between 3390 (supply) and 3260 (demand). Structure is not broken — so we play both sides:
Sell Setup: If price taps back into 3365–3390 with no BOS → watch for reaction
Buy Setup: If price retraces into 3285–3260 → look for clean bullish CHoCH to validate
Middle area = chop. Wait for price to get to structure zones — don’t guess.
Thanks for reading 💛
We’ll drop daily and intraday outlooks once price moves closer to one of these structure zones. Until then:
🎯 Trade the reaction, not the prediction.
