Gold (XAU/USD) Bullish Breakout Trade Setup – Targeting $3,4201. Entry Point Zone (~3,302.88 - 3,317.09):
This is the area where a long position (buy) is suggested.
The price has already moved slightly above this zone, indicating the trade may have already been triggered.
2. Stop Loss (~3,260.41 - 3,299.02):
Positioned below the entry zone to limit downside risk.
Suggests that if the price drops below this support zone, the trade idea is invalidated.
3. Target Point (3,420.41):
A bullish target suggesting a potential upside move of ~117.62 points (or ~3.56%).
This zone acts as a take-profit level.
4. Technical Indicators:
Moving averages (possibly 50 EMA in red and 200 EMA in blue) show a bullish crossover recently, supporting the upward momentum.
5. Pattern Outlook:
The chart implies a possible cup-and-handle or bullish consolidation breakout pattern, anticipating continuation upward.
Summary:
The strategy depicted is a bullish breakout setup:
Buy near 3,302.88–3,317.09
Stop Loss near 3,260–3,299
Take Profit near 3,420
This setup favors buyers as long as the price remains above the stop-loss zone. If the market holds this structure, there's a good risk-reward ratio for a move to 3,420.41.

Chart Analysis (45-Minute Timeframe):1. Breakout Confirmation:
The chart shows a bullish breakout from a rising wedge or channel structure, marked with two red trend lines.
Price has closed above the Ichimoku cloud, confirming bullish momentum.
2. Key Resistance Levels:
First resistance: $3,324.89 (being tested currently).
Major target/resistance zone: $3,368.18 (highlighted by the upper red line and arrow).
This zone aligns with a previous strong supply area visible on the left of the chart.
3. Support Levels:
Immediate support at the breakout zone around $3,310.
Additional supports lie at:
$3,308.23
$3,305.13
$3,266.45 (bottom of the recent move and key invalidation zone).
4. Volume Profile:
Increased bullish volume is supporting the breakout.
No significant bearish volume spikes yet, indicating momentum is still in favor of buyers.
5. Ichimoku Cloud Insight:
Bullish signals:
Price is above the cloud.
Lagging span (Chikou) is above price.
Cloud ahead is green, indicating potential continued bullish trend.
6. Expected Move:
If price holds above $3,310, we could see a continuation toward the target zone at $3,368.
However, failure to hold above $3,310–$3,305 could lead to a pullback toward the base of the channel or cloud support.
Summary:
Gold is in a bullish breakout phase. A sustained move above $3,324 and holding support at $3,310 increases the likelihood of a move toward the $3,368 resistance zone. Watch volume and lower trend support for any signs of a reversal or failed breakout.
How to arrange after gold falls into consolidation🗞News side:
1. US officials said Trump's statement was related to the Golden Dome Project, which may affect the flow of funds
2. The tension in the Middle East has intensified, and the risk aversion sentiment has increased, which is good for gold
3. Although the withdrawal of Indian and Pakistani troops has eased the regional situation, geopolitical risks still exist
4. Trump mentioned the tax bill, which affected economic expectations and affected gold investment sentiment to a certain extent.
📈Technical aspects:
At present, gold is in consolidation, and the upward trend is slightly stagnant. From the hourly chart, there are signs of downward correction after the upward test of 3320. In the short term, the upper 3320 line has a certain suppression, so gold may test the support again and then rise after stabilizing. Then the first support below is the 3292 line, followed by the 3285 line. If it falls below, it may test the two key support points of 3273 and 3265. The current trend is not clear. In the future trading, we will wait patiently for the gold price to stabilize before entering the market.

Gold - This is still clearly not over!Gold - TVC:GOLD - just needs a moment to breathe:
(click chart above to see the in depth analysis👆🏻)
It is just incredible how Gold has been rallying lately. Just over the past 1.5 years, Gold is up another +80% and is creating new all time highs every month. Since these strong rallies continue a lot longer than most people think, Gold still has significant upside potential.
Levels to watch: $3.500, $4.000

GOLD 1H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey everyone,
Please see update on our 1h chart idea.
After completing our Bullish targets yesterday, at 3236 and 3278; we stated that we would look for ema5 to lock above 3278 to open 3308.
- We got the lock above 3278, confirming 3308, which was hit perfectly today. We now have a ema5 cross and lock above 3308, opening the range above. Any rejections in this zone and we may see a retest of lower Goldturns for the usual weighted level bounces, inline with our plans to buy dips.
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.

As gold's rally stalls, do bears have a chance?Technical aspect:
Gold is currently fluctuating in a narrow range around 3310, and the short-term direction is not clear. However, the rebound potential is relatively weak, but for the London market, gold's willingness to retreat is not strong; however, from a technical perspective, the current gold structure is still biased towards bulls, and gold still has the potential to continue to rebound to the area around 3330, or even the area around 3350;
However, after the rise of gold stagnates, we still cannot aggressively chase gold in trading, one is to prevent technical retracement after the sharp rise of gold; the other is to prevent the retracement of gold in order to grab liquidity after the rise of gold stagnates. In the short term, the support area we must pay attention to is in the 3285-3275 area, followed by the 3260-3250 area. If gold cannot break through the 3320-3330 area in the short term, gold may still continue to test the support area.
Trading strategy:
1. If gold still cannot effectively break through the area around 3320 in the short term, you can consider trying to short gold in small quantities around 3310-3320; TP: 3280-3270, set up protection to prevent gold from continuing to rise to 3330 or even 3350;
2. Consider going long on gold when gold retreats to the 3285-3280 area, set up protection to prevent gold from continuing to retreat to the 3260 area.
7 Gold Trades That Banked Over $2,500 LAST WEEK – Steal My StratMy strategy is straightforward: I trade order blocks, target premium/discount zones, and capitalize on liquidity sweeps. When these three signals align on the chart, I enter without hesitation.
Gold triggered a strong reaction off a bullish order block at $3192-3120 after forming it on May 15th( also can be seen as STB), confirming a robust uptrend and a global reversal from a deep discount zone( can be seen on 4h time frame). For the bullish momentum to solidify, price must break and close above $3250
So i will keep an eye on GOLD chart and prefer long trader to shorts
Gold is rising strongly, can it retreat and go long today?🗞News side:
1. US officials said Trump's statement was related to the Golden Dome Project, which may affect the flow of funds
2. The tension in the Middle East has intensified, and the risk aversion sentiment has increased, which is good for gold
3. Although the withdrawal of Indian and Pakistani troops has eased the regional situation, geopolitical risks still exist
4. Trump mentioned the tax bill, which affected economic expectations and affected gold investment sentiment to a certain extent.
📈Technical aspects:
Yesterday we gave the view that there would be suppression at the 3290 level above, but affected by geopolitics, risk aversion sentiment rose again. Today, the moving average spread upward, and the Bollinger Bands opened and expanded, and the situation is still bullish. At present, we need to pay attention to the key short-term support level, focusing on the 3280-3285 support line. If the price retreats to this level and does not weaken, it can be considered as an opportunity for us to go long. If the resistance of 3320 is broken through strongly, the upper target will move up, and the lower support will also move up accordingly. 3300 will be converted into an entry opportunity for bulls to pull back. Therefore, we need to observe the price continuity in the European session. If the European session continues to break highs, the US session's correction will still be mainly based on long positions. During the day, it is recommended to wait for gold to retreat to 3290-3280 and try to arrange long positions, looking upward to 3320-3330.

Safe-haven sentiment leads to gold price rise again
💡Message Strategy
Gold prices continued to climb, breaking through the $3,300 mark in the Asian session, continuing the upward trend of the past three weeks. The recent deterioration of the US fiscal situation has caused market concerns, and Moody's downgrade of the US sovereign credit rating last week became the fuse.
At the same time, the market's bets on further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2025 have increased, causing the US dollar index to fall to a two-week low, providing continued buying momentum for gold.
📊Technical aspects
From the daily chart, the gold price has closed positive for three consecutive days and broke through the key resistance zone of $3250-3260, which was previously the 200-day moving average, and the technical side has formed an effective breakthrough.
The current price is stable above $3300, and the short-term bullish momentum is sufficient. If the current trend continues, it will be expected to challenge the $3365-3370 area, and further break through or point to the $3400 integer mark.
On the downside, the initial support level of gold price is at $3250. If it fails, it will test the previous breakthrough of $3250-3255. The second is the $3230-3235 area.

Long Position: 3250-3255

Potential Selling Opportunity on Gold from 3374 level!Hello traders, 👋
I’m closely watching Gold (XAU/USD) for a possible short setup around the 3374 zone, and here’s my breakdown:
📉 Trend Structure:
Gold continues to respect its bearish market structure, consistently forming Lower Highs (LHs) and Lower Lows (LLs) — a clear sign of sellers maintaining control.
📐 Key Confluence at 3374:
Price is currently retracing toward a descending trendline that perfectly aligns with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level, drawn from the previous swing highs. This confluence zone strengthens the case for a potential reversal.
📍 Sell Zone:
I’m watching the 3360–3380 region, with 3374 being my preferred level to look for entries.
Entry Confirmation:
Before executing a trade, I’ll be waiting for:
A bearish engulfing candle
A bearish breaker block
Or a strong rejection pin bar on the lower timeframes
🎯 Targets:
TP1: 3321
TP2: 3253
TP3: 3210
🔒 Risk management is key – always wait for confirmation before entering!

Gold 1h Analysis - What to expect from Gold today 21st May🌏 XAU/USD Outlook – Asian Session, May 21, 2025
Market Bias: 🔼 Strongly Bullish
Current Price: $3,299.34
Timeframe: 1H (with 5 & 21 EMA)
📊 Chart Breakdown:
Gold has surged cleanly through $3,243.28 and $3,268.13, now testing near-term resistance at $3,301.88.
Momentum is strong — candles are full-bodied with minimal wicks, showing solid buyer control.
EMAs are sharply angled and separated, indicating high momentum. No signs of reversal yet.
This is the strongest 1H push since the bounce from $3,157.35.
🔍 Key Levels:
Immediate Resistance: $3,301.88
Next Targets: $3,329.84 and $3,363.11 if breakout continues
Support Zones: $3,268.13 (structure low) → $3,243.28
Break below $3,268 would be first sign of a pullback starting
🗓️ News Ahead:
No major events during Asia session
Watch for U.S. Existing Home Sales later in NY
Big focus this week remains on FOMC Minutes (Wed) and PMIs (Thu)
📌 What to Expect:
Gold is entering the Asian session on strong bullish momentum
If buyers hold above $3,268, we could see another leg toward $3,329 during the London or early NY session
Likely to see sideways or slight pullback during Asia, but buyers are clearly in control — dips into structure may attract entries
Inverse H&S + Triangle = Gold’s Perfect Setup for a BreakoutAs I expected in my previous idea , Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) started to rise after a correction and made another attack on the Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245) .
Gold is currently moving near the Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245) and Yearly Resistance (2) .
If we look at the Gold chart from a Classic Technical Analysis perspective, two Classic Patterns are clearly visible.
1- Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern , which is a good sign for a Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245) breakout.
2- Symmetrical Triangle Pattern is also a sign of a continuation of the recent bullish trend
In terms of Elliott Wave theory , Gold seems to have completed the corrective waves , and we can expect the start of an impulsive wave . Breaking the Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245 ) can be a good sign for the start of an impulsive wave and a gold pump .
I expect Gold to trend higher in this week , and the first sign could be a break of the Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245) . The targets are clear on the chart.
Note: If Gold touches $3,179 , we should expect a drop.

GOLD at a Decision Point – Inverse Head & Shoulders vs. Channelhello guys!
Gold is currently forming a potential Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern at the bottom of a descending channel. This setup typically signals a reversal, but it faces a critical test at the neckline resistance and channel midline.
📌 Scenarios to Watch:
1️⃣ Bullish Breakout:
If the neckline is broken with strong momentum, we could see a continuation toward the upper resistance near $3,340, aligning with the descending channel’s top.
2️⃣ Bearish Rejection:
Failure to break the neckline could result in a sharp rejection, pushing gold back down toward the demand zone at $3,055–$3,075, especially if price respects the mid-channel resistance.
🔍 Key Technical Insights:
🧩 Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern forming
📉 Still trading inside a bearish descending channel
🛑 Neckline and midline confluence = strong resistance
🔻 Below neckline = bearish continuation risk
Gold breaks through 3300, where is the next stop
📌 Driving events
Beth Hammack, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, stressed that the current US government's policies make it increasingly challenging for the Federal Reserve to effectively guide the economy and fulfill its dual mission of maintaining price stability and full employment. She also warned that the risk of a stagflationary environment (characterized by stagnant growth and persistent inflation) is rising. In contrast, Alberto Musalem, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, recently said that the current monetary policy stance is still appropriately adjusted.
Despite rising US Treasury yields, gold has struggled to gain support, indicating that higher yields alone are not enough to drive safe-haven demand under the current circumstances.
However, global monetary easing policies may provide support for this precious metal. In the latest moves during the Asian trading session, the People's Bank of China (PBoC) cut its benchmark interest rate, followed by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) unexpectedly cutting the cash rate from 4.10% to 3.85% - moves that usually support non-yielding assets such as gold.
📊Comment Analysis
Spot gold prices have extended gains in recent intraday trading, taking advantage of its stability above EMA50 and trading along a bullish trend line on a short-term basis, strengthening its ability to reach the main resistance level of $3,300 and break it. Some weak signals have appeared on technical indicators. We noticed that a negative overlap signal has formed on the RSI, and after reaching overbought levels, this indicates that a temporary adjustment is needed on the upward action. Therefore, gold has reduced some of its early gains and waited for clearer signals to continue the bullish trend.
