Neutral Rectangle preservedAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: "My position: Gold is Neutral Rectangle and keep #2,652.80 as your reversal zone and ideal re-Sell entry point. If #2,627.80 Support gets invalidated, I will pursue #2,600.80 benchmark in extension. I will Trade the break-out."
I have engaged re-Sell order as discussed above on #2,649.80 which hit my #2,653.80 Stop within minutes. I have waited another chance to re-Sell Gold however Gold extended recovery above #2,657.80 first Resistance which left me without an order waiting for ISM numbers. On pre-ISM candles, I have engaged Selling order and closed it with #9-point Profit near #2,652.80 benchmark. When #2,652.80 got invalidated, I have engaged new re-Sell order on #2,650.80 and moved the Stop on breakeven expecting #2,636.80 Support in extension to be met, however Price-action touched #2,642.80 and reversed towards my breakeven Stop and left me without any orders for yesterday's session.
My position: Even though DX reversed and found Support zone, Gold is Trading under Intra-day Buying pressure as sentiment is changing on Intra-day basis. I give more probabilities to the upside since #2,652.80 benchmark got invalidated to the upside many times with relative ease which was my pivot point for the fractal. If #2,662.80 gets invalidated #2,667.80 is next extension so place your Buying orders accordingly.

1.8 Gold Operation Technical Analysis StrategyGold rebounded after hitting the bottom yesterday, and began to rebound after reaching the lowest level of 14, which continued until the evening of the day. The current highest level reached around 64, which has reached the previous high point. This position is also the effective point of the continuous suppression of the shorts in the recent period. With the strong rebound during the day, it also reached this position, but it is very likely to form a three-top pattern, so this position is also the point where we continue to try to short. Once it breaks up, the retracement of this wave of shorts will also be declared over, and the support below is maintained at the top and bottom conversion 50 line position. If it continues to break down this position at night, the bulls may also be in place, which is likely to be the last wave of short-selling. Although the bulls have rebounded, they have not yet reached the realm of a strong breakthrough. There are still many uncertainties in the market. In addition, this week is the release of non-agricultural data, and the previous shocks are also likely to lay the groundwork for the release of non-agricultural data. In the evening, we will still maintain gold at around 63-64 for short selling, with a target of around 50-40 and a loss of 70.5.
Short-term operation:
SELL: 63-64 Target is around 50-40, stop loss is 70.5.
1.7 Technical analysis of short-term gold operationsOn the daily chart, gold has encountered resistance since its half-month high, and has fallen into adjustment in the short term. For the upper pressure of gold, pay attention to the current intraday high of $2,660, which is also the high point of gold price bottoming out and rebounding after falling on Monday, followed by the high of $2,650 on Monday; for the lower support of gold, pay attention to the support position of range oscillation after gold price bottomed out on Monday, $2,632, where gold price fell back several times and stabilized, which is also the current intraday low, followed by the lower track of the 4-hour Bollinger band of $2,622. The 5-day moving average and MACD indicator slightly crossed upward, the RSI indicator slightly crossed upward, and the KDJ indicator crossed downward, showing that the short-term technical side is slightly dominant.
Intraday reference for gold: After gold rose and encountered resistance, it started to fluctuate in the range in the short term, lacking new news to guide the direction. It is recommended to treat it with a fluctuating mindset in terms of operation. Pay attention to the upper pressure of $2,650, followed by $2,660, and pay attention to the lower support of $2,632, followed by $2,622.
Am I the only one who is waiting for a bearish trend for #gold?hello guys!
let's analyze gold together!
Double Top Formation:
A double top has been identified near the $2,675-$2,680 level, signaling a potential reversal from the bullish trend.
Broken Channel:
The previous upward channel has been broken, indicating a shift in market structure and possible bearish momentum.
Two Scenarios Outlined:
First Scenario (Blue Path): The price may consolidate or retest the $2,630-$2,640 range before resuming its downward trend toward $2,578.
Second Scenario (Red Path): A bullish retracement toward the $2,675-$2,680 resistance zone is possible, followed by a reversal and significant decline.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Resistance: $2,675-$2,680 (critical zone for the second scenario).
Support: $2,629 (short-term) and $2,578 (major support).
Outlook:
The bias appears bearish due to the broken channel and the double-top pattern. Confirmation of either scenario depends on price action near the outlined key levels.
XAU/USD Longs from 2,630 or 2,610 back upThis week, my GOLD analysis focuses on the continuation of the bullish trend. Last week, GOLD showed significant bullish momentum, and we can expect the price to retrace into an unmitigated demand zone before resuming its upward direction.
I’ll be watching for the price to tap into either the 7-hour or 4-hour demand zone below. Once it does, I’ll closely monitor lower time frames for confirmation. If the setup aligns, I’ll look to take buy trades with the trend, aiming to clear liquidity resting above.
Confluences for GOLD Buys:
- Recent and overall bullish momentum.
- Unmitigated demand zones near the current price.
- A confirmed break of structure to the upside.
- Significant liquidity above, including Asia highs and imbalances.
Note: As the price approaches a key supply zone, we might see some bearish pressure. This could present an opportunity for a potential counter-trend trade.
Levont - XAU/USD: Testing Key ResistanceXAU/USD Analysis (Gold Spot/USD)
📊 Timeframes Analyzed:
- 1H Chart:
The price is currently trading at $2,657 , consolidating near the key resistance zone between $2,659 and $2,660 . This area aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level , which has historically acted as a strong supply zone. Price action shows multiple attempts to break above this level, but bearish pressure has kept it contained so far.
A potential rejection here could lead to a pullback toward the $2,654-$2,650 support range , while a breakout above $2,660 could trigger a bullish continuation toward $2,666 .
- 5m Chart:
Zooming in, the price is moving within a rising channel , showing short-term bullish momentum. However, the channel's upper boundary aligns with the higher timeframe resistance zone ( $2,659-$2,660 ), suggesting that the bullish move may face exhaustion soon. A rejection from this level could result in a breakdown of the channel and a retest of lower supports around $2,652-$2,650 .
🔑 Key Levels:
- Resistance Zone: $2,659 - $2,660
- Support Levels: $2,654 and $2,650
📈 Outlook:
The current price action suggests that gold is at a critical juncture:
- Bullish Scenario:
- A breakout above the resistance zone at $2,660 (confirmed by strong candle closures and volume spikes) could lead to a continuation toward higher targets like $2,666 or $2,670 .
- This scenario would align with the broader bullish sentiment seen in recent sessions.
- Bearish Scenario:
- If the price fails to break above $2,660 and shows signs of rejection (e.g., long upper wicks or bearish engulfing patterns), we could see a pullback toward immediate support levels at $2,654 or $2,650 .
- A breakdown below $2,650 could open the door for further downside toward $2,644 .
💡 Note: Watch for confirmation signals such as volume spikes or clear candlestick patterns before entering trades.
🌍 Fundamental Analysis:
Positive Factors Supporting Gold:
- Global Economic Uncertainty:
Concerns about slowing global growth and geopolitical tensions (e.g., ongoing instability in Eastern Europe) are driving demand for safe-haven assets like gold.
- Weaker U.S. Dollar:
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has shown signs of weakness recently due to expectations that the Federal Reserve may pause rate hikes in early 2025. A weaker dollar typically supports gold prices as it becomes cheaper for holders of other currencies.
- Seasonal Demand:
January often sees increased demand for gold due to seasonal factors such as jewelry purchases in Asian markets and portfolio rebalancing by institutional investors.
Risks/Negative Factors for Gold:
- Hawkish Federal Reserve Policy:
Despite speculation about a pause in rate hikes, any unexpected hawkish commentary from the Fed in its upcoming January meeting could strengthen the dollar and pressure gold prices downward.
- Profit-Taking Near Resistance:
With gold nearing key resistance levels ( $2,660 ), short-term traders may take profits, leading to temporary pullbacks.
- Equity Market Recovery:
If global equity markets continue their recovery into early 2025, it could reduce demand for safe-haven assets like gold.
Gold Spot (XAU/USD) Technical Analysis: Potential Decline to KeyThis analysis of Gold Spot (XAU/USD) on the daily timeframe highlights the price structure, Fibonacci retracement levels, and Andrews' Pitchfork, suggesting the possibility of further downside movement to key support areas.
Key Highlights:
Corrective Wave Structure and Key Resistance:
The recent upward correction appears to have completed near the resistance zone of $2638–$2655, aligning with the 38.2% and 50% Fibonacci retracement levels.
The condition for further decline is the inability to close a daily candle above this resistance zone. Failure to break this level increases the probability of continued bearish movement.
Andrews' Pitchfork:
The price is clearly moving within the Andrews' Pitchfork, which illustrates the overall bearish direction of the market.
Price action at the median and outer lines of the pitchfork will determine the next move.
Key Support Levels:
The first major support level is at $2545, which could act as a short-term target.
If selling pressure persists, the price may drop further to the next significant support at $2495, completing the anticipated C-wave.
DT Oscillator:
The downward turn in the DT Oscillator provides confirmation of continued bearish momentum.
This bearish signal, combined with failure to break the key resistance zone, increases the likelihood of a move toward the identified support levels.
Potential Scenarios:
Bearish Scenario:
If the daily candle fails to close above the $2638–$2655 resistance zone and the DT Oscillator maintains its bearish signal, the price is likely to decline toward $2545 and potentially $2495.
Bullish Scenario:
A close above the $2638–$2655 resistance zone, coupled with a bullish turn in the DT Oscillator, could indicate a potential trend reversal and a move toward higher levels, possibly $2700+.
Conclusion:
Based on Andrews' Pitchfork, the key resistance zone, and the signals from the DT Oscillator, Gold Spot is at a critical juncture. If the resistance holds, the price is likely to decline toward the $2545 and $2495 support levels. Traders should closely monitor the price reaction to these levels and momentum signals for potential setups.

1.3 Technical analysis of short-term gold operationsIn the early European session on Friday (January 3), the US dollar index maintained a mild decline during the day and is currently around 109.10; spot gold is around $2,655/oz.
After confirming a breakthrough of $2,640.00/oz, the gold price continued to rise. As shown in the figure, the gold price completed the construction of a double bottom pattern, which provided upward momentum for the gold price. The gold price is expected to test $2,700.00/oz, which is also our next target for the gold price.
Therefore, we expect the gold price to rise further in the next few trading days. It should be pointed out that if the gold price falls below $2,640.00/oz, this will stop the bullish trend and push the gold price to bearish.
It is expected that the gold price will trade between the support level of $2,650.00/oz and the resistance level of $2,685.00/oz today.
The expected trend for the gold price today is bullish

Hello Traders, here is the full analysis.
I think we can soon see more fall from this range! GOOD LUCK! Great BUY opportunity GOLD
I still did my best and this is the most likely count for me at the moment.
-------------------
Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad
Gold is rising, there is still a chance to short gold!Bros, just like the trading strategy in my previous article, we accurately captured the trading opportunity of shorting gold near 2646 and long gold near 2636. I made over $10K in profit on two trades,which is a great trading strategy!
My original plan was to close the long position near 2650, and then go long gold again after gold faced resistance near 2655 and fell back to the 2645-2640 zone. However, at present, gold has not given us the opportunity to go long gold. According to the current structure of gold, gold may continue to rise to the 2670-2680 zone, but now we cannot directly chase long gold, so we do not have a good entry price for the time being. Then my short-term trading plan is as follows:
1. If gold falls back to the 2650-2640 zone, I will consider going long on gold again;
2. If gold does not fall back and continues to rise, then when gold reaches the 2670-2680 zone, I will try to go short on gold;
The above is my short-term trading execution plan.If you want to learn more detailed trading ideas and get more trading signals, you can choose to join the channel at the bottom of the article to make trading no longer difficult and make making money a pleasure!
1.2 Accurate technical analysis of gold short-termThe upper rail resistance of the four-hour flat pattern is 2638 and the double-line resistance is 2642. Break through and open slightly upward, and continue to rise to form an upward opening pattern
The lifeline and the lower rail of the double line are superimposed in the 2619-2617 area
The early trading accelerated the rise point in the 2625-2623 area. Take this as the dividing line, and look for the next resistance area of 2638-2642 upwards, followed by the 2648-2650 range
Keeping low is the key, breaking high is the focus, and taking advantage of the trend is the method
If it is delayed, there will be variables. If it can take advantage of the trend and break through 2648-2650 with the east wind, the bulls can have more control later
Refer to this idea, early The market is arranged around the low point 2621-2623 area as support to rush to 2632-2633. If the rise is realized as expected, the second step is still bullish. It is planned to use 2628-2626 as support to see a bullish trend. The price will only fall back to the 2632-2631 area.
So choose the 2632 area to enter the market with low longs. The original plan of 2628-2626 remains unchanged. Look up to find the 2638-2642 area, and then look at 2648-2650
The 2598 long orders at the beginning of the week are still held in small bands. The loss point is now moved up to 2610 (profit loss situation, if it falls back, it is also profitable), and pay attention to the gains and losses of 2648-2650
Analysis of short-term gold trading on December 31Fundamentals: The gold market fluctuated at a low level in the U.S. market, and the logic of long orders at the support point entered the market.
At the beginning of the U.S. market on Tuesday (December 31), the gold price was around $2,610. The gold market may be preparing to end 2024 on a weak note, and December is expected to see its first decline in seven years. But there is still considerable optimism in the market before the new year. Despite the current market weakness, gold continues to hold its position in a difficult environment. She pointed out that the sell-off in gold since its October high and the subsequent consolidation were the first major corrections in the precious metal this year. "I am not at all worried about the volatility we have seen, and I think this respite is good for the market," she said.
Even with this disappointing price trend entering the new year, investors should not forget the performance of 2024. Gold prices have seen unprecedented gains, setting new all-time highs about 40 times this year. Gold prices peaked in October, with a full-year increase of more than 26%, the best performance since 1979. Gold prices are set to hit $2,400 an ounce this year in 2024, and they are nearly $400 above that level. Looking ahead, she believes gold still has plenty of room to rise.
Gold prices will struggle as investors continue to focus on the strong resilience of the U.S. economy. She explained that policies proposed by President-elect Trump should support economic growth in the first half of next year, but she expects problems to return. Since winning the presidential election in November, Trump has said he wants to extend the 2017 tax credit. He has threatened to impose tariffs on countries in Asia, the Americas and the European Union. He has also proposed rounding up and deporting millions of illegal immigrants and recently expressed a desire to annex Canada and Greenland.
Policies such as increased import tariffs and extended tax cuts will provide some support to the economy, which has pushed up U.S. bond yields and the dollar. However, she added that these policies will also come at a cost. Everything Trump proposes to do will lead to inflation, raising tariffs and deporting potentially millions of low-wage workers will push up prices, and tax cuts will exacerbate the growing deficit, thereby increasing inflationary pressures. Trump's proposal also has a political cost, as many see his position as a negotiating tactic. She added that this uncertainty will continue to support gold's safe-haven appeal.
