Gold Rebounds Amid Geopolitical TensionsOANDA:XAUUSD Gold (XAU/USD) bounced back to $3,330 amid escalating global tensions, including renewed conflicts on the Russia-Ukraine front and flare-ups along the India-Pakistan border. Safe-haven demand supported the rebound, but the upside may be limited as markets watch US-China trade talks and digest the limited US-UK trade deal. Technically, gold remains in a corrective phase below the $3,365 resistance zone. A clean break above this level could trigger a retest of the $3,413 supply zone. Otherwise, bears may drag it back toward $3,289 and $3,239 support. Traders watch closely for clarity from today’s FOMC speakers.
Resistance : $3,330 , $3,364 , $3,413
Support : $3,289 , $3,239

How to operate gold in the short term today
📌 Negative drivers
The trade peace talks have really entered a substantive period. Japan, the most active country, did not become the first country to sign the agreement. Instead, it was the United Kingdom and the United States, setting an example for everyone.
This also means that Europe, Japan, India, etc. will also enter the substantive stage, which will become a battlefield for Sino-US trade.
Gold, the surge since April, all came from the global trade war initiated by the United States, and the retracement node also fell because the trade war eased.
From the conclusion of the British and American talks this morning, more and more countries will sign, which will affect the rising rhythm of gold.
Divergence of geopolitical risk aversion: Although the escalation of the India-Pakistan conflict has boosted risk aversion demand, the market's expectations of the controllability of the conflict have weakened the risk aversion premium of gold. The current conflict has not yet reached the level of a full-scale war, and there is a risk of "dying in the light" in risk aversion demand.
📊Comment analysis
Short-term casual 20 US dollars +, follow the trend is very important, and follow the watershed.
The Asian session broke the low point of yesterday morning, and the tariffs also loosened for the first time. Don't go long.
💰Strategy Package
Gold price has continuously fallen below the moving average and has been falling all the way. How can we go long in such a market? Continue to stick to the high-altitude thinking. Now the 3320 line has become a pressure point. Below it, we insist on going short.

Gold Price Analysis May 9The recent market with big fluctuations with yesterday's D1 candle down 100 price shows that the Sellers have regained their position.
Today's strategy is to watch SELL more than to watch BUY.
The Gold zone is reacting at the 3316 resistance zone and is heading towards 3322 at the end of the Asian session. Today's trading strategy pays attention to the 3322 resistance zone. If the European session does not break, SELL to 3300. If it breaks, hold to 3286. When it breaks 3286, do not BUY anymore but wait until 3325 to be able to BUY.
In the opposite direction, if it breaks 3322, wait for a test and BUY to 3350 and then SELL around 3350 today.
Gold Price Analysis May 7Yesterday's D1 candle continued to be a FULL candle with a 100 price increase. At the beginning of the day, the market opened with a bearish price gap, showing that the market also wants to cool down and today.
Gold is sideways in the range and is running a corrective downtrend.
The support zone for BUY strategies is around 3371, this is the EMA 34 of the h1 frame and is partially supported by the trendline. The next notable area is 3352, which is the old candle wick area and also the support area of yesterday's European session.
The two SELL areas are around 3402 and the Gap opening area is 3423.
Gold prices pulled back. Will prices continue to fall?Latest news: Trump announced a trade deal with the UK, which boosted market risk appetite; coupled with a sharp rise in the US dollar and US bond yields, gold prices plummeted in the Asian morning trading session.
US President Trump and British Prime Minister Starmer announced a "breakthrough agreement" on trade, which made market traders predict that the United States would also reach such an agreement with other countries. This prediction has made market buyers lose motivation.
Quaid believes that if the United States and China reach an agreement, gold prices will face great resistance to rise, and gold prices should fall back to $3,200/ounce.
Market trading analysis:
The upward trend of gold paused and started a sharp decline.
As described by the RSI, buyers are losing momentum. This is not good for gold, and the price has now fallen below $3,300/ounce. Quaid believes that it will continue to fall and may fall to the cycle low of $3,202/ounce.
Short-term trading strategy:
Short at 3280, stop loss at 3290, and take profit at 3260.
Quaid believes that if the price of gold falls below the downward resistance level of 3275, you can continue to hold your position and choose the right time to trade.
The buy low and long strategy is coming!From the 4-hour analysis, the support below is around 3308-3300. If it does not break, the main bullish trend will remain unchanged. The upper side pays attention to the short-term suppression of 3360-66. The daily level stabilizes above this position and continues to maintain the low-multiple rhythm.
Gold operation strategy:
1. If gold falls back on the 3325-3320 line, go long, and if it falls back on the 3310-3300 line, it will cover long positions. The target is 3355-3360.
Gold Potential Bullish ContinuationGold price still seems to exhibit signs of potential Bullish momentum as the price action may form a credible Higher Low with multiple confluences through key Fibonacci and Support levels which presents us with a potential long opportunity.
Trade Plan:
Entry : 3389.8
Stop Loss : 3345
TP 0.9 - 1 : 3430 - 3434
Gold still needs to be shorted after a sharp drop!
💢 Driving factors
Market sentiment was dampened by reports that US President Trump signed a potential trade agreement with the UK, while investors are awaiting the outcome of the US-China trade talks this weekend. In terms of trade agreements, any cooling of the trade war and reduction of uncertainty are bearish for gold. If the US and the UK announce a trade agreement, it will be good for the overall global economy.
📊 Commentary and analysis
In terms of trend, although gold soared in the morning, it continued to fall to 3320 in the afternoon. At present, gold has rebounded moderately but is still under pressure after the sharp drop.
💰 Strategy package
For the US market, it is still a rebound short. Pay attention to the resistance of 3370-74 above. You can directly enter the short position after the rebound, and bet on the second decline of the US market!

Pay attention to 3360 and go short if it does not break🗞News side:
1. China and the United States hold talks on trade issues
2. India-Pakistan conflict escalates again
3. Geopolitical risks
📈Technical aspects:
At present, gold has fallen below the trend line support. In the short term, we should focus on the battle for 3360. This point is not only the previous support-to-resistance level, but also the key signal for judging the trend reversal. If it cannot hold on to this position, the short trend will continue; if it recovers effectively, it may return to above 3400. Before losing the defensive line (the last starting and falling point) 3360-3362, the bears will still have the upper hand. It just so happens that the 4H lifeline is also in the 3360-3362 area. If the suppression is successful, the price will enter the 3362-3284 area from the lifeline to the lower track.
The rebound layout of the US market operation is short-selling, with the target at 3340-3330, and further support at 3310-3300.

After gold falls sharply, how should you trade in the short termAfter gold fell below 3400 today, it ushered in a big decline, falling directly below the key position of 3350. Since gold breaks down, let’s take advantage of the trend and go short
Since the bullish volume of gold market has been released, the bullish trend of gold needs to be repaired in the short term before it can rise further.
Trading idea: short gold near 3347, stop loss 3360, target 3327
Bitcoin showing itself to be the STRONGEST ASSET right nowThsi is a VERY Bold statement but there is a saying that we need to understand
CHARTS NEVER LIE
This chart is the 4 hour charts of
Bitcoin - Gold
DXY $ - S&P500
There are a number of things to see here.
The First and strongest sign is simply that Bitcoin has risen over the last 36 hours alongside the $ Rising.
This in itself is a huge sign. 80% of the time, these 2 assets go in opposite directions. To me, this is showing a weakness in Faith in the $,
With Lower interest rates, less return on Holding. However, the USa will not want to see the $ drop much further and so I imagine it is being bought up to safeguard its price.
Next week, on the 13th, we have inflation figures published.
We need to watch that Closely.
The $ is currently Lower than it has been for a long time and while this can be seen as a Negative, it has also made American goods cheaper to buy to Foreign Markets, while it has increased the value of other Currencies.
Making the $ cheaper is potentially a Good idea.
At the same time, we see the Global traditional "Safe Haven" Selling off.
The Daily CFD on Gold chart above it has formed a double Top, that usualy creates a draw down.
It is also overbought on a daily after its recent pushes higher.
But more than anything, with interest rates remainiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing static, this has released pressure of investers and so Risk appetite is returning.
Again, we need to watch what happens around the 13th when USA inflation figures are released.
And then the S&P500
Overall, it has been dropping since Feb
This Daily chart shows us It made a recovery but this may not be to go to ATH again but more part of the ABC correction.
There is a possibility it could be forming an inverse Head and Shoulders...so, again, we watch
So, over all, what we see is BITCOIN taking on all the markets and making the biggest gains
It has certainly been the least volatile with Dips and Troughs shallower than the $ and S&P500 which is Stunning if you have ridden Bitcoin for the last 10 years....
Bitcoin has Matured in to a REAL Asset Class..
For me, it is NOT Crypto anymore.
.IT IS BITCOIN

What’s America's Real Goal in a Possible India–Pakistan War?We are nearing the end of the petro-dollar era. The power balance of the new world order will be defined not by oil, but by the strategic resources essential for AI, electric vehicles, and cutting-edge technology.
Throughout the 20th century, the U.S. maintained its global dominance by controlling access to oil. From the Middle East to Latin America and Africa, wherever oil was found, the U.S. was there.
But today, the focus has shifted to rare earth elements, lithium, copper, and other strategic minerals.
Trump’s 2025 move to buy Greenland wasn’t a diplomatic joke—it was a signal. Behind-the-scenes deals in Ukraine for rare earth deposits tell the same story: whoever controls these "white gold" assets will lead the tech-driven world.
Now enters Pakistan, with mineral-rich lands spanning over 600,000 km², nearly three times the size of the UK. Experts estimate its underground reserves to be worth $8 trillion.
In Balochistan's Rekodik field alone, there are 12 million tons of copper and 20 million ounces of gold, with a copper purity of 0.53%, well above global standards. In the north, newly discovered lithium reserves could be a game-changer for the EV revolution.
This is no longer just about resources—this is about deciding the future balance of global power.
XAU/USD 08 May 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 23 April 2025
Price has now printed a bearish CHoCH according to my analysis yesterday.
Price is now trading within an established internal range.
Intraday Expectation:
Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,500.200.
Note:
With the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and persisting geopolitical uncertainties, heightened volatility in Gold is expected to continue. Traders should proceed with caution and adjust risk management strategies in this high-volatility environment.
Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
analysis and bias remains remains the same as yesterday's analysis dated 07 May 2025.
As mentioned in yesterday's analysis that I would continue to monitor price and depth of bearish pullback following previous bullish iBOS.
Price did not pull back with any significance, therefore, I will apply discretion and not mark the previous iBOS. I have however marked this in red.
Price continued bullish and subsequently printed a bearish iBOS to indicate, but not confirm bearish pullback phase initiation.
Price is now trading within an established internal range, however, I will continue to monitor depth of pullback.
Intraday Expectation:
Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or M15 supply zones before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,435.055
Note:
With the Federal Reserve maintaining a dovish stance and ongoing geopolitical tensions, volatility in Gold prices is expected to remain elevated. Traders should exercise caution, adjust risk management strategies, and stay prepared for potential price whipsaws in this high-volatility environment.
Trump's tariff announcement will most likely cause considerably increased volatility and whipsaws.

Gold prices remain volatile, where is the profit range?
💢 Driving factors
Gold prices plunged nearly 2% yesterday, mainly due to the strengthening of the US dollar and the optimism brought about by the upcoming trade talks between the United States and China. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, but pointed out that the risks of rising inflation and unemployment increased, which further clouded the economic outlook as the Fed struggled to assess the impact of Trump's tariff policy. When the US dollar strengthens, it means that gold is relatively expensive for buyers holding foreign currencies. But despite the decline in gold prices, it is still supported by global geopolitical risks and central bank buying.
📊 Commentary Analysis
Gold basically fluctuated in the 3400-3360 range today, which is a typical fluctuation. But for high-level fluctuations, we must worry about the breakthrough after the platform is sorted out, and we must also worry about the stagflation retracement, which depends on the time cycle. Therefore, the current trend, people who like fluctuations feel very good, and those who look at one-sidedness feel uncomfortable. Today's early trading operations are still temporarily carried out in the 3400-3360 range, and new layouts will be made after the break!
💰Strategy Package
The Asian session is expected to remain volatile, and both long and short positions have opportunities. You only need to operate at the right time. Go long when the short-term retracement reaches 3370 support, and go short when the upper resistance reaches 3410.

The Fed meeting is coming. Will gold fall?Today's news focus:
The US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will announce the interest rate decision;
Fed Powell will hold a monetary policy press conference.
The market generally expects that this meeting will continue to maintain the previous data, because the impact of tariff policies on inflation and the economy still needs to be observed. The Fed's interest rate cut may be carried out in June. Since this interest rate decision does not update the economic forecast, the focus will be on the Fed's incidental comments on any signals of future interest rate cuts to support the economy. Since the decision to keep the interest rate unchanged has been fully digested by the market, Powell's tone at the press conference will be the key to changing the market's expectations for interest rate cuts this year.
Today's gold trend analysis:
At present, according to the hourly chart, gold is still under pressure at the range resistance above 3400; on the one hand, the current tariff storm has cooled down, and on the other hand, the interest rate cut has decreased; and the news data to be released will cause a series of fluctuations in gold in the short term. At the same time, the market is currently betting that the gold price will have a further trend correction, which may cause capital outflows from the market, which will further hit gold bulls.
Quide believes that there is still room for operation in the short term. The resistance level of short-term upward movement is around 3400, but since the game between major powers has not stopped, there will be no major negative factors; if the news data does not fluctuate much, the market may not have a big dive.
Operation strategy:
Short around 3400, stop loss at 3410, and take profit in the range of 3370-3360.
Quide will always pay attention to important news and can provide professional analysis and suggestions for everyone in a timely manner.
I hope to help everyone recover their losses in the gold trading market.
Gold fluctuates in a narrow range ahead of the Fed rate🗞News side:
1. The situation between India and Pakistan escalates
2. China is willing to engage with the US, and the situation has eased
📈Technical aspects:
The price of gold fell sharply after the market opened today, once falling to around 3360. Currently, gold is oscillating slightly between 3375-3390. The market has no clear trading direction for the time being. Gold is not expected to change much before the Federal Reserve interest rate is announced. Today, gold prices have continuously tested the lower support 3370-3360, and the upper short-term resistance is focused on the 3390-3400 line. We maintain shock treatment for short-term trading. The focus will be on today’s Fed interest rate issues and talks between China and the United States.

Gold range shock , Both long and short have a chance!📌Fundamentals:
1. There are signs of escalation in the India-Pakistan conflict
2. The US-Houthi ceasefire agreement
3. The Fed's interest rate decision dominates this week's market
4. The international trade situation disturbs market sentiment
5. Market sentiment and capital flows
📊Technical aspects:
The market came out in the Asian session. It stalled again later. We are used to seeing fluctuations of hundreds of points. A fluctuation of more than ten or twenty points a day is the same as no fluctuation. At present, the market is temporarily maintained in the range of 3400-3360, and there is not much fluctuation. At present, let's see where the market breaks through. If it retreats to around 3360, follow up with long orders. If it rebounds to around 3400, follow up with short orders.
Gold fluctuates, long and short operations in the US market!
📊Comment analysis
At 14:00 on Wednesday, US time, Fed Chairman Powell will hold a monetary policy press conference.
The market generally expects that the FOMC will continue to remain on hold at this meeting, as the impact of tariff policies on inflation and the economy remains to be seen; the Fed may cut interest rates in June. Since this interest rate decision does not update economic forecasts, the focus will be on the Fed's accompanying comments on any signals of future interest rate cuts to support the economy. Since the decision to keep interest rates unchanged has been fully digested by the market, Powell's tone at the press conference will be the key to changing the market's expectations for interest rate cuts this year.
💰Strategy package
The US market is expected to remain volatile, and both long and short positions have opportunities. You only need to operate at a certain point. Go long on a short-term retracement to 3378 support, and go short when it reaches the upper resistance of 3408.
