XAUUSD H4 STRUCTURE OUTLOOK – MAY 26, 2025📍 Price: 3,358
Bias: Bullish, but watch for major resistance and fakeouts at highs
🔎 STRUCTURAL ZONES TO WATCH
Zone Type Price Range Reason / Confluence
🟥 PREMIUM SUPPLY 3,415–3,440 H4/H1 OB + FVG, unmitigated supply, previous HH sweep, top risk
🟥 SELL INTEREST 3,390–3,410 FVG + micro supply, previous LH zone, NY session high trap
🟦 MID FLIP ZONE 3,344–3,360 Recent CHoCH, local S/R flip, base of last impulsive move

🟩 SUPPORT #2 3,279–3,295 H4 demand, sweep + FVG, retest of previous structure
🟦 DEEP DEMAND 3,254–3,265 Strong OB, last HL, aligns with deep liquidity sweep on HTF
📈 QUICK CONTEXT (PA/RSI/EMA)
Trend: Still bullish on H4, but approaching exhaustion into supply
PA: Clean HH/HL, but sellers are waiting at the top
RSI: Overbought zone – potential for sharp rejection near premium
EMAs: Price above all EMAs (5/21/50/100/200), short-term stretched

Goldpullback
XAUUSD DAILY OUTLOOK – MAY 19, 2025“Between Bounce & Breakdown – Watch the Mid-Zone Traps 🎯”
🧠 Market Overview:
Gold bounced last week from the 3160–3172 buy block, confirming demand at discount, but price remains stuck under multiple bearish supply layers.
Until we reclaim structure above 3285, this is still a bearish pullback inside a bullish macro trend.
→ We’re now trading between sniper zones, where volume fades, fakeouts rise, and only confirmation wins.
🔍 STRUCTURE FLOW
🟩 3160–3172 → Confirmed buy zone from last week, clean bounce with CHoCH
🔴 3365–3375 → Daily rejection supply zone, created by imbalance wick & H4 OB
🟧 Price is now inside “mid-trap” territory (3205–3285) = avoid trading blindly
📌 KEY SNIPER ZONES (REFINED)
🔹 Zone Type Price Range Confluences
🟢 Buy Zone 1 3160–3172 OB + EQ liquidity + confirmed CHoCH (D1-H1 confluence)
🟢 Buy Zone 2 3212–3225 Internal FVG + H1 OB origin + 61.8% fib retrace
🔴 Sell Zone 1 3275–3285 Previous H4 OB + bearish NY reaction trap zone
🔴 Sell Zone 2 3312–3324 Internal liquidity sweep + imbalance fill
🔴 Sell Zone 3 3365–3375 Strong rejection + top of H4 imbalance
⚙️ TECHNICAL OUTLOOK:
EMA50/100 now sloping down = bearish short-term tone
RSI near neutral (no divergence = trend-follow only)
Daily candle closed inside mid-zone → no clear momentum = trade only on LTF CHoCH confirmations
🔔 RISK EVENTS (THIS WEEK)
Thu, May 23 → Unemployment Claims + Flash PMIs + Housing Data
Fri, May 24 → New Home Sales + FOMC Financial Stability Report (tentative)
→ Expect fakeouts ahead of these. Stay reactive, not predictive.
🧭 DAILY PLAN
🔽 If price reclaims 3275–3285 and fails → sniper sell entry → TP 3225 / 3172
🔼 If price dips to 3212–3225 with M15 CHoCH → scalp buy to 3260–3270
❌ Avoid entries in 3230–3265 → mid-zone chop trap
🧠 Final Thoughts:
You don’t chase gold in mid-range. You don’t sell bottoms or buy tops.
You wait at the edge of structure — with logic, confluence, and confirmation. That’s sniper mode.

💬 Drop your bias below — Break below 3172 or bounce back to 3320?
Gold is merely pulling back to FIB levels. 2649 is Poss.
FIB trading is for the patient trader to get in at a lower price level, which incidentally does not include me, I am like a wounded bull getting into trades for most of the time.
I think 2649 and just below is possible.
I will try and put a call out here when momentum upwards starts to occur. It wont be long now.
Gold XAUUSD How Long This Correction Will Continue! Read CaptionOANDA:XAUUSD forms a retreat and tests 2577 following a fake breakdown of 2546. After such a severe fall, it is a very reasonable response. The dollar is growing more quickly, and the fundamental context is still negative.
China's ambiguous economic figures heightened economic worries. Powell stated that there is no need to lower interest rates right now because the economy is still expanding, the job market is strong, and inflation is still above the 2% target, but this uncertainty regarding future rate reduction by the US Federal Reserve is still weighing on the markets.
Now, everyone's eyes are on the crucial retail sales data.
Technically, it is important to watch the resistance at 2589 and the 0.5-0.7 fibo. Below these areas, a false breakdown and consolidation could lead to a collapse.
Resistance levels: 2578, 2592, 2604.
Support levels: 2543, 2532, 2504
Key : 2565
OANDA:XAUUSD Gold is currently indicating that the pullback up might be a little drawn out. Before the news, MM will probably aim for liquidity (above these levels). Bears may become active in response to a false breakout, which would only boost sales.
However, the likelihood of a breakdown and decline will rise if there is a bounce from 0.5 fibo and a smooth recovery to 2546.
Gold 2 day TFIf gold breaks below the uptrend channel, I anticipate a further drop in its value. However, I have identified two specific areas where multiple factors converge, and I will keep an eye on them for potential buying opportunities.
There are several factors that can cause the price of gold to rise:
Supply and demand: Like any other commodity, the price of gold is affected by its supply and demand in the market. If the demand for gold exceeds its supply, the price of gold can rise.
Economic and political instability: Gold is often seen as a safe-haven investment during times of economic and political uncertainty. In times of market volatility, investors may buy gold as a hedge against potential losses.
Inflation: As the value of currency decreases due to inflation, investors may turn to gold as a store of value. Gold has historically maintained its value over time and can provide a hedge against inflation.
Central bank policy: The policies of central banks, including changes in interest rates and quantitative easing, can affect the price of gold. For example, if central banks lower interest rates, it can lead to a weaker currency and an increased demand for gold.
USD exchange rate: Gold is priced in USD, so changes in the exchange rate between the USD and other currencies can also impact the price of gold. If the USD weakens, it can make gold more affordable for investors holding other currencies.
GOLD IS CONSOLIDATED - XAUUSDGOLD is struggling hard to break the support 1752. Based on my previous analysis it was going well on Friday 8th oct it showed rejection form 1780-85.
Now there are 2 possibility for you all to open sell order. When price strike to above resistance 1780-85 OR goes below 1750.
Still main trend is down so we are not going to place any buy order. Our target is 1723 and blow. Just keep focus.
Market will be volatile tomorrow as there a FOMO news.
We might see some movement by tomorrow.

Short XAU toward daily retrace levelXAU Presents a Pending bearish opportunity toward a bearish pullback towards the daily 62% Fib level at 1802.00 level retracement.
Upon validation, we are able to continue looking for a long position that may break the Monthly resistance at 1840.00, setting buy orders at 1802.00 as this may prove to become a strong demand zone for Price to break the Monthly resistance.
Gold - Expect Near-Term Weakness Gold has had a great run, however i believe that we may very well see a slight easing before continuing higher, firstly let's look at some charts.
Gold is below the daily 21 ema - This means that so long as we remain below this level, near-term the bears are in control.
Gold has retraced to the weekly 10 ema - This is healthy within a strong bull market, to periodically return to these longer-term moving averages, but also note the highlighted regions when price fell below this moving average.
Gold has YET to retrace to the monthly 5 ema - This, coupled with the monthly doji candle from August (signals indecision) leads me to believe that we will experience a drop to test the monthly 5 ema, currently around $1890 USD.
Furthermore, the monthly stochastic is signaling a likely cross to the downside, all of this together leads me to believe that a move lower to test the monthly 5 ema, possibly even overshooting slightly lower to around $1800 is entirely on the cards.
All this coupled with the sudden profit-taking in the stock market over the Thursday and Friday trading sessions leads me to believe that further weakness could kick next week off, not to mention the grossly overbought conditions within the stock market, from the put/call ratio, to the SKEW, to the spike in the VIX.
It is worth mentioning that the cryptocurrency market also had a sharp selloff, PRIOR to the stock market selloff, what this says to me is that money is not merely rotating out of one asset and into another, but rather it is leaving the market as cash.
We can also see the DXY strengthening (albeit only slightly, and within a stronger overall downtrend), this is also a major headwind for gold, as i wrote earlier, that a stronger dollar will reflect in a weaker gold price (generally speaking).
I may very well be wrong, however i will personally be easing some of my exposure to see how things shake out.
I also want to reiterate, i am very bullish on precious metals (hence the physical holdings) and i believe that the stock market will be a major beneficiary of truly awesome levels of inflation, however i am getting a slightly eerie, calm before the storm feeling and will be freeing up some capital to take advantage should that opportunity arise.

GOLD at strong DEMAND-ZONEHey tradomaniacs,
Gold currently at strong DEMAND-Zone (SUPPORT) and could cause profit-saves for bears and so a higher bullish confluence to retest the previous trendline.
Might be a chance to go long today!
