Gold (XAUUSD) 4H Chart AnalysisGold (XAUUSD) 4H Chart Analysis – Textbook Reversal Setup Unfolding 📈✨
Traders, let's break down what's happening on the Gold 4-hour chart right now because this is a very high-probability setup you’ll want on your radar.
🧠 What We're Seeing:
After a strong bullish rally, Gold topped around $3,500, followed by a sharp corrective move downward.
Price retraced back into a key demand zone (highlighted by the big black rectangle), where we are seeing repeated price rejections and buying pressure coming back in.
Notice how price respected this demand zone multiple times, forming a double-bottom-like structure — this indicates that bulls are actively defending this area.
We are also seeing a minor break of structure on lower timeframes (small bullish impulse inside the box), which is an early sign that momentum might be shifting back to the upside.
🛡 Key Levels:
Demand Zone: $3,260 – $3,280
Immediate Support: $3,280
Current Price: Around $3,319
Next Major Resistance: The previous highs near $3,500
📈 Trading Outlook:
As long as the price holds above the $3,260–$3,280 zone, the bias remains bullish.
We are looking for a breakout confirmation (higher highs and higher lows) to confirm momentum before loading up heavier.
Targeting a full recovery back towards $3,500 in the coming sessions.
🎯 Trading Plan:
Entry Area: Dips near the $3,280 support zone.
Stop-Loss: Below the demand zone (around $3,250 for safety).
Take-Profits: TP1: $3,400 TP2: $3,460 TP3: $3,500 (full recovery)
🔥 Key Takeaway:
This is a classic buy-the-dip setup inside a major bullish structure.
The risk-reward is extremely attractive at these levels — the market is offering an opportunity for those who are prepared.
Stay patient, wait for confirmations, and execute the plan smartly.
Let’s get ready to capitalize on this move! 🚀

Goldprediction
Gold ended successfully, Where will the market go next week?The idea of keeping gold short at a high level is that after the winning streak of gold ended, gold continued to fluctuate in a narrow range. If there is no opportunity, then it will end early and rest. After all, it is Friday. After a hard week, it is time to rest. The news on the weekend has changed a lot, and it is full of uncertainty. Gold rebounded again in the second half of the night, which seems to be strong, but has gold reversed? It is too early to say now.
The 1-hour moving average of gold continues to be short, but after gold bottomed out at the first-line support near 3265, gold rebounded by more than 50 US dollars. Is this rebound a reversal? Not necessarily, because now it basically fluctuates by about 100 US dollars every day, and it is hard to say that a rebound of 50 US dollars is a reversal. The strength of next week is the key. If the rebound of gold next week is not very strong, then gold will still fluctuate and be short. The resistance of the 1-hour moving average above gold is near 3354, and the top of the negative line of gold on Friday is near 3352. If there is no effective breakthrough of these two positions next week, it will still be a fluctuating and short trend.
The weekly line of gold is also a shooting star with a long upper shadow at a high level. If there is no big bullish news to support gold in the short term, gold will be under pressure at a high level in the short term, and the daily line is also down from a high level without a strong counterattack. On the whole, there is still room for adjustment in the short term for gold.
The market is changing rapidly and confusing. Sometimes we cannot be confused by the illusion in front of us. Only by not being afraid of the clouds blocking our eyes can we see clearly behind the market. Before gold reverses, it is still bearish in the short term. It is light to follow the trend and messy to go against the trend. The market is always right. Going against the market will eventually be taught a lesson by the market. Don't have any fluke mentality in the face of the trend. The market will not forgive your mistakes again and again.
Next week's operation ideas: short gold 3350-60, target 3310-3300;
Gold fluctuates in a range and corrects sideways! Trend AnalysisAnalysis of gold market trends next Monday:
Technical analysis of gold: From the performance of the daily chart, the recent trend of gold prices has shown a high consolidation trend, and there has been a significant correction from the high point near $3,500. After hitting the low point of the week, the gold price rebounded to a certain extent, but the rebound strength was blocked near the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level (about $3,368-3,370), which has now become an important short-term resistance. The opening trend of the gold market on Friday was like Thursday, and the Asian session started to pull up and rise all the way to around $3,370. However, it encountered strong resistance here, and then turned downward and started to fall. It is worth noting that today's gold price not only failed to break through this key resistance level, but also fell below the low point hit by yesterday's European and American sessions, and rebounded after reaching a minimum of $3,265.
From the current market structure, the position of $3,260 has become the focus of the market, and investors need to pay close attention to whether the gold price can reach or even fall below this point. Once it effectively breaks, the bearish trend will be further strengthened, and the market may usher in a deeper adjustment. From the current form, there are two Yins enveloping Yangs, so the adjustment will continue at the beginning of next week; of course, this adjustment can be replaced by sideways trading, which means that it is not ruled out that it will run back and forth in the 3260-3380 range. On the whole, the short-term operation strategy for gold next Monday is recommended to be mainly long on pullbacks, supplemented by short on rebounds. The short-term focus on the upper resistance of 3368-3370, and the short-term focus on the lower support of 3265-3260. Friends must keep up with the rhythm. It is necessary to control the position and stop loss, set stop loss strictly, and do not resist single operation. The specific points are mainly based on real-time intraday trading. Welcome to experience and exchange real-time market conditions.
Reference for gold operation strategy next Monday: Strategy 1: Short gold rebounds near 3368-3370, target near 3300-3285, and look at the 3260 line when it breaks.
Strategy 2: Go long on gold when it pulls back to around 3265-3270, target around 3290-3330, and look at the 3370 line if it breaks.
GOLD → Gold Market Forecast and AnalysisFor most of the period from 2025 to now, gold prices have risen almost continuously, hitting new all-time highs. Since October 2022, gold prices have almost doubled, rising by more than 25% in 2025 alone, reaching a new all-time high of $3,500 per ounce on April 22. The $4,000 price level, once considered untouchable, is now openly discussed in trading halls around the world.
The easing of global tensions, especially between the United States and China or in Eastern Europe, could significantly reduce safe-haven demand.
While this is not the base case for 2025, it is still an unexpected risk that traders must consider. In fact, gold prices have retreated from recent highs after US President Trump hinted that tariffs on China might be reduced.
The sharp rise in gold prices increases the possibility of a correction. If the upward momentum slows, profit-taking could trigger a rapid and violent sell-off. As with any parabolic rise, volatility is inevitable; prices often experience a short-term downward trend before setting new all-time highs. Traders with short-term strategies should be aware of such price declines and practice risk management: avoid large trades, set stop-losses, and diversify their portfolios.
Quaid wants to say:
Opportunities always come to those who dare to act. Be bold in the gold market, and the next winner will be you, my friend.
Gold is under pressure and falls again Short again on rebound!Gold rebounded weakly during the European session, and fell twice during the US session, with the lowest price dropping to 3265. However, even though it is extremely weak at present, it is not recommended to blindly chase the short position. The support below is 3260, which is the previous low point and is close to the volatility limit. Instead, you can try short-term long positions with a light position. The short-term pressure above is maintained at 3306, and the breakthrough will gradually reach 3315 and 3328!
Operational suggestions: Gold is short near 3310-20, and look at 3300 and 3280! Long positions can be made if the support below 3260 is not broken!
Market trend analysis and unique operation layoutTechnical analysis of gold: From the performance of the daily chart, the recent trend of gold prices has shown a high consolidation trend, and there has been a significant correction from the high point near $3,500. After hitting the low point of the week, the gold price rebounded to a certain extent, but the rebound strength was blocked near the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level (about $3,368-3,370), which has now become an important short-term resistance. Today's opening trend of the gold market is like yesterday. The upward mode started during the Asian session, rising all the way to around $3,370, but encountered strong resistance here, and then turned downward and started a decline. It is worth noting that today's gold price not only failed to break through this key resistance level, but also fell below the low point hit by yesterday's European and American sessions, and rebounded after the lowest point fell to $3,265.
In view of the important trend of gold prices breaking down key points, the subsequent market is likely to consider the idea of swinging and shorting. From the current market structure, the position of $3,260 has become the focus of the market, and investors need to pay close attention to whether the gold price can reach or even fall below this point. Once it effectively breaks, the bearish trend will be further strengthened, and the market may usher in a deeper adjustment. From the 4-hour chart, the intraday rebound is under pressure from the middle track downward. At present, the K-line has returned to run below the moving average. The short-term trend is bearish. The market may further test the support near the lower track 3260. The short-term upper pressure focuses on the pressure near 3315, which is near the ma5 moving average. Above it is the pressure near the middle track currently moving down to 3338. Relying on these two pressures, there is still room for further decline in the short term, pointing to the previous day's low of 3260, so you can try to buy the bottom with a light position for the first time. On the whole, today's short-term operation strategy for gold is to focus on long positions on pullbacks and short positions on rebounds. The upper short-term focus is on the 3315-3320 line of resistance, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3265-3260 line of support. Friends must keep up with the rhythm.
Will a false breakdown in support lead to growth?The current trading range is 3275-3290. Since the opening, the price has been fluctuating in a small range. There was no news on Friday, so the price may regain its upward momentum after retesting the liquidity and support area of 3270-3285.
Gold prices are currently stable around $3280, but the US dollar has curbed the rise of gold prices.
Gold prices have held their ground after recovering, but the strengthening of the US dollar and hopes for progress in tariff war negotiations have limited further gains in gold prices…
Optimism about US corporate earnings and fears of a recession are easing, supporting demand for the US dollar. However, the continued uncertainty in Sino-US relations has kept interest in gold strong.
The market is waiting for new signals from the White House and the Federal Reserve, which will determine the further trend of gold prices.
Focus on the support trading range. A false break of 3270 could change the balance of power, leading to a rebound or growth.
No news today, except for the unpredictable situation of Trump and the tariff war in general. Any speech or tweet could shake the market.
However, gold prices remain range-bound after a lackluster week.
Quaid recommended:
The market fluctuates sideways today. You can try short-term trading. Look at 10 points for each upward callback and perform scalping transactions in this range.

The gold weekly line is about to close and the short position coThe downward trend remains unchanged!
At the same time, after the current decline in gold, traders who have positions above should pay attention that the early morning rebound cannot exceed the stage pressure of 3292-3300. The larger the rebound, the weaker the downward momentum. After a continuous decline, the 3260 position can be seen below. After breaking, the 3230 point needs to be paid special attention to below. This is the golden section position of 50% retracement since the rise from 2956 to 3500 in this round. It is also a multiple resonance area in the trading concentration area. After reaching this point, traders who hold short positions should consider being more cautious.
Gold-----Buy near 3311, target 3340-3360Gold market analysis:
Gold has been volatile these two days. We said that we can buy and sell in the operational analysis, but in fact, it is more difficult. Think about it from another perspective. Intercepting it is a counter-trend transaction. Although the position you intercept is support, or even the low point of the shock, the possibility of it breaking is also increasing. In the past two days, the gold daily line has been a combination of one Yin and one Yang, and buying and selling have begun to fluctuate in structure. Today's idea is that we must first rely on yesterday's shock low point to go bullish on the big trend. Short-term operations need to chase, the amplitude is large, and the profit is also large. Today is Friday, plus the daily adjustment of the daily line, the weekly line also needs to close. Buying is expected to rise in the evening and the European and American sessions, but the Asian session will still fluctuate. The Asian session will intercept up and down. Pay attention to the closing of the weekly line today. If the weekly line cannot be closed today, selling will begin next week.
Gold market analysis:
Gold has been volatile these two days. We said that we can buy and sell in the operational analysis, but in fact, it is more difficult. Think about it from another perspective. Intercepting it is a counter-trend transaction. Although the position you intercept is support, or even the low point of the shock, the possibility of it breaking is also increasing. In the past two days, the gold daily line has been matched with one Yin and one Yang, and the buying and selling have begun to fluctuate in structure. Today's idea is that we must first rely on yesterday's shock low point to go bullish on the big trend. Short-term operations need to chase, the amplitude is large, and the profit is also large. Today is Friday, plus the daily adjustment of the daily line, the weekly line also needs to close. Buying is expected to rise in the evening and the European and American sessions, but the Asian session will still fluctuate. The Asian session will intercept up and down. Pay attention to the closing of the weekly line today. If the weekly line cannot be closed today, selling will begin next week.
In the Asian session, we focus on the large range of 3311-3360. The low point is 3305. The Asian session 3305-3311 is a super support and suppression position. The high point of yesterday's rebound was 3344. This position is a small suppression position in the Asian session. The rebound high point of the Asian session 3370 is estimated to be a big suppression in the Asian session. The hourly pattern suppression position is 3353-3360. The Asian session range is out, and we can operate well. If the Asian session does not break 3305, we will see a structural rebound at night. If it breaks, we will sell.
Support 3311-3305, suppression position 3344, strong pressure 3353-3360, and the watershed of strength and weakness in the market is 3330.
Fundamental analysis:
It's Friday again. The US dollar has fallen continuously and gold has risen continuously. The fundamentals and data released have long supported gold to suppress the US dollar.
Operation suggestions:
Gold-----Buy near 3311, target 3340-3360
Oscillating downward! The bearish trend is beginning to emerge!【Gold Analysis】
Interpretation of news: The current market presents a "three-legged" pattern: First, the uncertainty of the trade war. If the US insists on imposing new tariffs, the gold price may hit the $3,500 mark again; second, the suspense of the Fed's policy. Whether the May meeting will release a signal of interest rate cuts will become a key turning point; finally, the trend of the US dollar. If subsequent economic data continues to deteriorate, the US dollar index may fall below the 99 integer mark. The current gold market is caught in a fierce game of long and short factors. In terms of the trade war, the situation is not as good as Trump's remarks. The Asian giant issued a solemn statement on Thursday, emphasizing that if the US is sincere about solving the problem, all unilateral tariffs should be immediately cancelled. This statement is in sharp contrast to the "negotiation signal" recently released by the White House, making the trade outlook more confusing.
The current market sentiment is cautiously optimistic. On the one hand, Finance Minister Bensont's statement that the trade confrontation may continue has triggered a rise in risk aversion; on the other hand, the expectation that the Fed may cut interest rates has provided fundamental support for gold. This complex psychology is the main reason why the price of gold fluctuates in the range of 3260-3500 US dollars. There is one last trading day this week. Let's see how this week ends.
From the daily chart of gold, after the exaggerated reversal in the middle of the week, the current price of gold has not only lost the important support of 3350, but also formed an obvious bearish evening star in terms of shape, which means that there may be further correction space in the future. In addition, at this stage, the short-term moving averages MA5 and MA10 have been broken one after another, so it is not ruled out that they will continue to move closer to MA20, but their position is still below 3200.
From the 4-hour chart of gold, although it once fell nearly 200 US dollars from the high, the price of gold gradually stood firm yesterday and began to fluctuate and rebound. It has now returned to above 3270. However, given that the moving average group is in a sticky state and the MACD indicator is adjusted to near the 0 axis, the short-term long and short competition may become more intense. Therefore, it is recommended to keep selling high and buying low as the main strategy, which is more stable. Pay attention to the resistance of 3370-3375 on the top and the support of 3285-3280 on the bottom;
Investment strategy: short gold at 3310-3320, target 3265.
Gold's decline under pressure is in line with expectations! Gold market trend analysis:
Gold technical analysis: This week, gold prices fluctuated, opening at 3332. So far, the high is 3500 US dollars and the low is 3260 US dollars. On Monday, it soared by 100 US dollars. On Tuesday, it continued to rise to 3500 highs in the Asian session and then fell back. On Tuesday and Wednesday, it plummeted by nearly 240 US dollars. The volatility slowed down on Thursday. The overall intraday fluctuations remained within 3367-3288. Today, the weekly line closed. The weekly line will compete for the closing of the Yin-Yang cross K line. The short-term is more intense. From the consolidation on Thursday, there is no further decline, which also leaves room and suspense for today's weekly closing. If the weekly line closes lower, it is expected to adjust further next week. Pay attention to the closing strength and weakness of the weekly K line this week.
Today's opening trend of the gold market is like yesterday. The Asian session started the upward mode, rising all the way to around 3370 US dollars. However, it encountered strong resistance here, and then turned downward and started a decline. It is worth noting that today's gold price not only failed to break through this key resistance level, but also fell below the low hit in yesterday's European and American sessions, falling to a low of US$3,287 before rebounding.
In view of the important trend of gold price breaking the key point, the market will most likely continue the short-selling idea in the future. From the current market structure, the position of $3260 has become the focus of the market. Investors need to pay close attention to whether the gold price can reach or even fall below this point. Once it effectively falls below, the short-selling trend will be further strengthened, and the market may usher in a deeper adjustment.
From the hourly level, yesterday's low was at $3306, and the rebound just now showed an obvious stop signal at this position. Based on this, the current short-term suppression level can refer to $3315, and the upper level is $3328. For short-term investors, you can consider waiting for the gold price to rebound to around $3315 to arrange a short order and continue to be bearish on the gold price. The first thing to pay attention to below is the support of the low point just touched at $3287. If this support level is lost, the next key support level will be $3260, the first low point on the previous downward journey. If $3260 is also effectively broken, the short-selling force will be further released, and the gold price may face a larger decline. On the whole, today's short-term operation strategy for gold is to short on rebound and long on pullback. The upper short-term focus is on the 3315-3320 resistance line, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3285-3260 support line. Friends must keep up with the rhythm.
Gold operation strategy reference: short gold rebound near 3310-3320, target near 3290-3285, break to see 3260 line.
Gold pullback near 3270-3260 long, target near 3290-3310, break to see 3330 line.
Gold’s Wednesday highs and lows will determine next moveGold continues to consolidate after retreating from the resistance zone.
It has consistently followed the downtrend line and repeatedly bounced lower from this resistance level. The market recently formed a triangle pattern and broke out of it, but notably, it did not trigger a massive sell-off. Currently, price action is testing the previous day’s low. However, I think the price could retest Wednesday’s low as the price is currently trading within Wednesday’s range. This has formed a “K” pattern on the daily chart, indicating that the next decisive move will occur after a breakout of Wednesday’s low or high. Overall, I expect the sideways movement to continue into next week and keep an eye on these key levels for potential signals.
My target is the resistance zone near 3355.
Analysis of the latest gold price trends!Market news:
In the early Asian session on Friday (April 25), spot gold showed a trend of rising and falling. The London gold price hit a high of $3,370/ounce and then fell back to around the 3,350 mark for consolidation. The international gold price soared by more than $60, shaking off the shadow of the previous day's nearly 3% collapse. The weaker dollar and bargain-hunting provided support, and investors still kept a close eye on the latest news of tariff negotiations. It is worth noting that on Tuesday, the price of gold once soared to a record high of $3,500, mainly due to the market panic caused by Trump's threat to remove Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. However, as Trump suddenly "softened" on Wednesday, not only withdrawing the threat of removal but also sending a signal to ease the trade dispute, the gold price quickly fell back. Subsequently, the Asian power fought back strongly, explicitly demanding that the United States cancel all tariffs and clarifying that trade negotiations had not yet begun. This statement once again ignited market risk aversion. Trade uncertainty and a weak dollar, gold prices ended their previous two-day decline on Thursday and climbed above $3,300/ounce. The sharp drop in U.S. Treasury yields also supports the rise in international gold prices. This trading day, we will continue to pay attention to the IMF-World Bank Spring Meeting attended by global financial leaders. In addition, we will pay attention to news related to the international trade situation and geopolitical situation. As a traditional safe-haven asset, the demand for gold has dropped sharply, and the price has lost support and started to fall. For participants in the gold market, the impact of this price plunge is self-evident. The stock prices of gold mining companies have fallen accordingly, and the production capacity that was expanded in the early stage due to the rise in gold prices may face the risk of shrinking profits; jewelry retailers are in a dilemma. The value of gold inventory purchased at high prices has dropped significantly. If the selling price is adjusted, they are worried about affecting sales performance. For ordinary investors, especially retail investors who have recently chased high prices to buy gold, they are under tremendous psychological pressure and asset losses.
Technical Review:
Gold 1-hour moving average is still in the form of dead cross selling arrangement, and gold fell back after rising, so gold is now beginning to fluctuate. Although gold broke through yesterday's high of 3367, gold did not rise directly after breaking through, but rose and fell, so gold buying may just be a false break of yesterday's high of 3367. For the time being, gold is still fluctuating in a large range!The hourly moving average is glued together, the RSI indicator is adjusted in the middle axis, and the price hourly chart is running strong in the middle and upper track of the Bollinger band. The gold price in the four-hour chart is still running in the middle and lower track of the Bollinger band, the middle track is suppressed at 3375, and the RSI indicator is also adjusted in the middle axis. In the short term, gold is likely to continue to fluctuate in a wide range, and the band still maintains the main layout of selling at high prices and buying at low prices.
Today's analysis:
The wave peaked at 3500 and hit a low of 3260 in the US market on Wednesday. It fell by 240 US dollars in two trading days this week. The force was very strong and the trend was very panic. However, the big cycle of gold this year is still a buying trend. Don't be affected by the adjustment of the small cycle. In the bullish rhythm, the adjustment is an opportunity to buy. Therefore, once the adjustment is over, you can start buying bullish.From a technical point of view, the daily line stands firmly above the 10-day moving average, which is an important reason for the current strong unilateral trend of gold. For the time being, the daily mid-term Bollinger has not closed. Don't guess the top when it rises. Look at 3400 first, then look at the gains and losses of 3500. Don't guess the high when it breaks. The performance of the H4 mid-term is obvious. The bottom is above the lower Bollinger track and the 60-day moving average, and the Bollinger just closes. This is a very obvious performance of stopping the decline and bottoming out. Now the Bollinger is closing. From 3260, it will take at least 3500 to the upper Bollinger, so this range is very large! If gold breaks through the 3370 level again, then gold will truly become strong. Even if it is a fluctuating rise, we must patiently wait for the opportunity to continue to fall. The market is changing rapidly, and the recent gold market is like this, with ups and downs, so it is not surprising. Therefore, don’t think that gold has reversed after a wave of increases.
Operation ideas:
Buy short-term gold at 3322-3325, stop loss at 3313, target at 3360-3380;

Russia-Ukraine Peace Agreement what could it mean to forex!A peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine could send ripples through the Forex and Commodities markets. Here's how major assets might react:
📊 Key Market Shifts to Watch:
✅ Risk-On Sentiment Returns
Traders may rotate out of safe havens like USD, JPY, CHF, and Gold.
Risk currencies like AUD, NZD, and emerging market currencies could strengthen.
✅ Euro Strength Likely (EUR ↑)
Europe gains the most relief → energy prices fall, inflation cools, confidence grows.
✅ Oil & Energy Prices May Drop
Peace reduces supply fears → crude oil and gas prices could fall → impacting CAD, NOK, RUB.
🔀 Likely Forex Movements:
🔼 Pairs Likely to Rise 💡 Reason
EUR/USD Euro up on peace; USD weakens as fear fades.
AUD/JPY Aussie rises on risk appetite; Yen weakens.
EUR/JPY Similar to AUD/JPY—EUR gains, JPY loses.
NZD/JPY Risk-on favors NZD; JPY drops.
EUR/CHF Swiss Franc weakens; Euro benefits.
USD/ZAR (falls) Rand strengthens on global optimism.
🔽 Pairs Likely to Fall 💡 Reason
USD/JPY USD and JPY both weaken, but USD may drop more.
USD/CHF Same story—less demand for safe havens.
USD/RUB Ruble recovery if sanctions ease.
CAD/JPY Oil-sensitive CAD may dip slightly
🟡 What About Commodities Like Gold? (XAU/USD)
⬇️ Gold Likely to Fall
As a traditional safe-haven, Gold (XAU/USD) tends to rise during geopolitical turmoil.
Peace = lower fear = investors rotate out of Gold into riskier, yield-bearing assets.
Lower inflation expectations could also reduce demand for Gold as an inflation hedge.
🧠 Key Level Watch:
If peace is confirmed, XAU/USD could drop below key support zones, especially if USD strengthens slightly on rate differentials.
🔍 Final Thoughts:

4.25 gold short-term operation technical analysis!Spot gold suddenly fell sharply during the Asian session on Friday (April 25). At the end of the session, the current gold price was around $3,307/ounce, a plunge of more than $40 during the day.
Gold prices turned lower on Friday as hopes of a trade deal between China and the United States weakened safe-haven assets. The positive risk tone weakened the demand for safe-haven assets. In addition, optimistic US macroeconomic data on Thursday supported the dollar, which also hit gold prices.
Cleveland Fed President Hammack made it clear in an interview on Thursday that the Federal Reserve has basically ruled out the possibility of a rate cut in May. But she also released key information that if there is clear evidence of the direction of the economy, there is room for policy action in June.
Gold prices are currently supported near the $3,300/ounce mark, which is also the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of gold prices from this month's low (around $2,950/ounce) The latest round of gains is located.
If gold price falls below the $3300/oz mark, the next support for gold price is the weekly low near the $3260/oz area; if it falls below the above area, gold price may accelerate its decline and fall to the 50% retracement level (i.e. the area near $3225/oz) and finally fall to the $3200/oz mark. Some follow-up selling will indicate that gold has peaked and turn the short-term bias in favor of bearish traders.
Gold price resistance is around the $3368-3370/oz area, which should be a key level now. If it breaks through the above area, gold price may return to the $3400/oz mark. The subsequent rise may push gold price further to the $3425-3427/oz barrier. Once this barrier is overcome, bulls may retry to conquer the psychological $3500/oz mark.
Falling into range oscillation, just get the rhythm pointAnalysis of gold market trend
On Thursday, the gold price remained in the 4H channel, and the middle and lower tracks were in the range of 3370-3260, with overall resistance to decline and correction; this trend is also normal;
1: In the early stage, the market fluctuated rapidly with a hundred points rise and fall, and the kinetic energy consumption was large, so the short-term trend returned to the consolidation trend later;
2: The fundamentals stopped, the technical demand was corrected, and the two resonated, and the gold price could only fluctuate and consolidate in the range; the analysis framework given yesterday was treated according to two intervals; they were 3370-3260 and 3370-3480; the strong and weak dividing point was 3370 above and below;
We can also see that at the position of 3370, the gold price has been under pressure for 2 consecutive times and fell for 2 consecutive times; it can be seen that the strong and weak dividing point of the position above and below 3370!
At present, the market:
1: Trend: There is no trend for the time being, and the range is high, the large range is 3480-3260; the bull trend is stagnant, and the bear trend stops falling. The trend cannot be judged for the time being;
2: Fundamentals, the future fundamentals will focus on the US debt crisis, trade war tariffs, and subsequent war issues, two core things; and uncertain fundamentals
Today's market:
1: 4 hours, the stochastic indicator golden cross, the main long signal; in terms of form, slow bull rise; the current pressure position of the central axis is near 3370, and the probability of breaking upward is relatively high; therefore, the 4-hour can be treated as a shock rise; but the overall situation remains in the large range of 3480-3260!
2: In the daily K-line, the stochastic indicator diverges periodically, and the death cross is downward, which is a bearish signal; however, the high-level sell-off forms a sideways resistance to the decline, and the sideways support is in the range of 3280-3260; the MACD double-line golden cross is glued, and there is no death cross; the indicators in the daily K-line are contradictory, so the long and short trends are difficult to continue, and more range oscillations and high-level consolidation signals are given;
To sum up: Today's short message is still processed according to the 4-hour range; 3370-3260 range and 3370-3480 range; if it stabilizes at 3370, the range processing will be changed; you can take a pullback to do more, and bet on the 4-hour range oscillation upward, and gradually break through the position of 3370;
Interpretation of 4.25 Gold Short-term Operation IdeasFrom the technical analysis of the hourly market, yesterday's low was at $3,306, and the rebound just now showed an obvious stop signal at this position. Based on this, the current short-term suppression level can refer to $3,315, and the higher level is $3,328. For short-term investors, you can consider waiting for the gold price to rebound to around $3,315 to arrange short orders and continue to be bearish on the gold price. The first thing to pay attention to below is the support of the low point just touched at $3,287. If this support level is lost, the next key support level will be $3,260, the first low point on the previous downward journey. If $3,260 is also effectively broken, the short-selling force will be further released, and the gold price may face a larger decline.
