Learn KEY PRINCIPLES of Technical Analysis in Gold Forex Trading
In the today's article, we will discuss the absolute basics of trading - 3 key principles of technical analysis in Forex & Gold Trading.
1️⃣History Repeats
History tends to repeat itself in the Forex market.
Certain trends are cyclical and may reemerge in a predictable manner, certain key levels are respected again and again over time.
Take a look at the example:
Silver perfectly respected a historical horizontal resistance in 2011 that was respected in 1980 already. Moreover, the price action before and after the tests of the underlined zone were absolutely identical.
2️⃣Priced In
All relevant information about a currency pair: economical and political events, rumors, and facts; is already reflected in a price.
When the FED increased the rate 26th of July by 25 bp, EURUSD bounced instead of falling. Before the rate hike, the market was going down on EXPECTATIONS of a rate hike. The release of the news was already price in.
3️⃣Pattern DO Work
Some specific price models can be applied for predicting the future price movements.
Technicians strongly believe that certain formations - being applied and interpreted properly, can give the edge on the market.
Depending on the trading style, different categories of patterns exist: harmonic patterns, price action patterns, wave patterns, candlestick patterns...
Above, I have listed various price action patterns that are applied by many traders and investors as the main tool for analyzing the financial markets.
If you believe in these 3 principles, you are an inborn technician!
Study technical analysis and learn to apply these principles to make money in trading.

"XAUUSD Double Setup After Massive Manipulation! 200+ Pips"🚨 Gold (XAUUSD) Smart Money Play Unfolding!
Here's a clean breakdown of the current structure and why this could be a high probability setup:
🔥 First, notice the manipulation zone — classic Smart Money move where liquidity was grabbed aggressively before a shift in market structure. This sets the stage for a bigger play.
📉 Change of Character (ChoCh) confirmed after the sweep, showing clear intent for price to reverse. This is the first signal that buyers are losing control and sellers are stepping in.
📍 First Key Area: Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Price is now retracing into the FVG.
This is our 1st Entry Setup opportunity.
High R/R setup if rejection happens around this level.
📍 Second Key Area: Order Block (OB)
A stronger zone for deeper mitigation.
If price pushes through the FVG, this OB becomes a prime entry spot.
This is the 2nd Setup for another potential short entry.
🏹 Targets and Pip Count:
Immediate target zone offers around 211 pips from the first setup.
Deeper target from second setup offers up to 253 pips move.
🧠 Market Structure & Psychology:
After manipulation, Smart Money always seeks to rebalance inefficiencies (FVG) and mitigate institutional orders (OB).
Weak lows created will likely be swept to fuel the bigger move down.
Multiple liquidity pools above and below current price hint at another round of liquidity hunting.
⚡ Game Plan:
Monitor price action reaction around FVG for short triggers.
If broken, reposition entries at the OB zone.
🚀 Risk Management Reminder:
Always use calculated risk per trade.
Don't chase; let price come to your zone.
Protect capital first, then maximize profits.
✍️ In summary:
This setup shows classic Smart Money Concepts in action: manipulation, structure shift, FVG, OB mitigation — all aligning for a clean bearish move. If executed with patience, this could be one of the smoothest setups of the week!

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Great finish to the week, after completing both our Bullish and Bearish target yesterday, we then finished off with our retracement range gaps.
We also stated that we will look for a cross and lock below this level to open the swing range or failure to lock, will see support and bounce on this level.
This played out perfectly with no lock confirming the rejection and then the bounce allowing us to buy the dip. We are now seeing the level retested again and respecting it perfectly for another bounce.
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 30 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.

Gold continues to break down before non-farm payrolls!As mentioned in the continuous analysis of the gold trend, the current price is in a downward cycle from the historical high of 3500. After the first round of selling to 3260, it rebounded to repair 3370. It fell to 3268 at the beginning of the week and then turned to consolidation; after the shock, it fell from 3328 to break the low and now reported 3274; the 1H chart structure is weak and continues to follow up; short-term resistance is 3280-3290, and strong resistance is 3300-3304; short-term support is 3264-3260, and strong support is 3246 and weekly MA10-3238; in terms of operation, it is recommended to follow up with the trend and pay attention to the impact of ADP data; Strategy 1: Sell near 3290, protect 3290, and target 3260-3246;
GOLD 4H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Once again following on from yesterdays update, this 4 chart is also playing out perfectly. After completing both our Bullish 3343 and bearish 3282 targets; we stated price will play tennis between both levels. We also stated that we will look for ema5 cross and lock on either level to determine the next move.
- Ema5 crossed and locked below 3282 opening 3224. This was hit perfectly today on the drop completing the full retracement range. We will now look for a break below this level to open the swing range or failure to lock below will see a retest on the next Goldturn above. Each weighted level is still also providing the 30 to 40 pip bounces, just like we always state.
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 30 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.

Gold at $3,260: Buy the Fourth Dip?Gold prices have stabilized today after experiencing an earlier decline that represents the fourth dip down to the $3260 level over the past few sessions. The repeated defense of this support level could indicate strong buyer interest at these prices.
Recent reports suggest an easing of trade tensions which might be weakening demand for gold. But have tensions really eased to any great extent? Commerce Sectary Howard Lutnick announced yesterday the U.S. is close to 1 trade agreement with 1 mystery trade partner (rumored to be India? But why not brag about that if true) isn't the kind of progress that consoles me.
But is it time to buy?
The consistent support at $3,260 coupled with a potential move above $3,375 could provide the technical confirmation needed for renewed confidence in this kind of trade.
GOLD 4H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Please see update on our 4h chart route map today after 2 days of smashing targets on the 1h chart idea.
Once again another great day on the markets today. We got our Bearish 3282 and our Bullish 3343 targets hit. No cross and lock on either level, so we are seeing tennis between both Goldturns.
We will look for a ema5 cross and lock on either level to determine the next move. We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range.
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 30 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.

Gold suffers from short selling and may fall sharply!The market is basically in a weak decline during the day, and the rebound is not strong. The hourly chart shows more negatives than positives, which shows that there is still a decline. As for the position selection, it is not recommended to chase the short position. If it can reach the high point of 3323-3324, it is still possible to continue to short. The support below is 3287-3270. If it falls below the low point of 3260, then pay attention to the top and bottom conversion position of 3245.
XAUUSD: Bearish towards the previous High.Gold is bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 61.142, MACD = 87.300, ADX = 39.603) but has found itself on a short term correction since last week's High. All prior short term pullbacks have tested the High that preceded them. This gives a clear bearish TP = 3,175. It is possible for the market to also make contact with the 1D MA50 there, which has been intact as a Support since January 7th.

GOLD (XAUUSD): Market Outlook & Short Update
Regarding Gold.
I received multiple requests to provide the update after
the price bounced to a target level, as I predicted earlier on Sunday.
At the moment, we see a perfect example of a consolidation.
The price is trading within a horizontal parallel channel - range.
As always, the market will most likely continue staying within that till the release
of important high impact news.
The closest ones we can find in the economic calendar.
Tomorrow we are expecting US GDP and Personal Spending Data.
For now, probabilities will be high that a consolidation will continue.
Consider looking for trading opportunities from the boundaries of the range.
After a news release, a breakout of the range will provide a strong confirmation
and accurately indicate the future direction of the market.

Golden layout strategy!Gold daily level includes a positive hammer line with a long lower shadow. Gold fluctuates and hovers. There have been four oscillating daily lines, all running below the 3370 line. The probability of continued fluctuation is high. Based on the above analysis, it can be concluded that gold bottomed out and rebounded, and bulls took the initiative. In terms of operation, consider retreating and arranging long orders first, and high shorts as a supplement. Pay attention to the resistance of 3370-3400 US dollars on the top, and the support of 3310-3260 US dollars on the bottom.
Gold shocks pull long and short without continuation!From the daily line, the K-line closed with a hammer-shaped small positive line with a long lower shadow, showing a trend of falling back from a high position, which intensified the change of the top K-line pattern. At present, the gold price is suppressed by the double top of 3370 above and supported by the multiple bottoms of 3260 below. The market outlook mainly focuses on the shock adjustment of this range. The middle track of the Bollinger band at the hourly level is near 3322, which can be used as a watershed of strength and weakness. After the gold price falls below the middle track of the Bollinger band, it is likely to go to the lower track of the Bollinger band, and it is more likely to test the shock bottom position of 3260. In terms of the short-term operation of gold, it is recommended to mainly short on rebounds and supplemented by long on pullbacks. The short-term focus on the upper side is 3329-3335 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 3265-3260 support.
Doubletop suppressionVS multi-bottom support Entry at key pointsGold rose sharply in the U.S. market yesterday, and the daily line finally closed the Yang cross star, approaching the end of the monthly line. Recently, it has been a yin-yang cycle sweep pattern. Therefore, today we need to be careful to prevent the market from falling back and then closing in the negative range. The wide sweeping range remains at 3370-3270. If the position is broken, look at the unilateral direction. In the 4H cycle, the continuous positive pattern breaks through the mid-track, and the short-term trend is stronger. , but Bollinger has not opened his mouth, and is not optimistic about the breakthrough range. The short-term support is around 3315, which is also yesterday's low point. If it falls below, it will go to 3302. Therefore, today's operation will continue to grasp the key positions. The upper pressure will focus on 3354 and 3370, and the lower support will focus on 3315 and 3300. Go high and low in the range! Do high-altitude and low-multiple in the range!
Operation suggestion: Buy gold near 3305-3300, look at 3320 and 3345!
Gold Ideas - XAUUSD Weekly Outlook | April 28, 2025🧠 Quick Outlook:
Gold remains locked in a corrective range after its aggressive rally to new all-time highs.
Price is currently consolidating between major liquidity zones, preparing for its next big move.
However, growing geopolitical risks — including rising Middle East tensions and potential currency interventions out of Japan — could trigger safe-haven flows, especially during Asia session volatility.
While the high timeframe structure remains bullish above the 3220–3235 pivot,
the immediate tactical focus is on the 3340–3365 zone, where key liquidity battles are unfolding.
🔥 Major Zones to Watch:
Resistance 3380–3395 Major supply and flip zone — strong liquidity cluster
Resistance 3350–3360 Minor local resistance — potential bull trap area
Support 3260–3280 Critical intraday support and liquidity pocket
Support 3220–3235 Last pivot standing to maintain bullish structure
⭐Tactical Focus This Week:
🎯 Will Gold reject or conquer the 3380–3395 stronghold?
🎯 Will 3350–3360 act as a stepping stone or a snare for early buyers?
🎯 Are buyers prepared to defend the 3260–3280 liquidity pocket with real force?
🎯 What happens if 3220 collapses?
Patience and sniper discipline will make the difference this week, as Gold approaches critical decision points and major news.

Gold Market Outlook - Gold BearishGold is currently in a consolidation phase, trading within a range of $3,280 to $3,360. We are closely monitoring for a breakout in either direction.
Based on current technical analysis, there is a higher probability of a downside breakout below the support level of $3,280. If this support is breached, we may see the following downside targets:
Target 1: $3,270
Target 2: $3,260
Target 3: $3,250
Target 4: $3,240
Traders are advised to plan their positions accordingly, keeping risk management in focus.
Gold fluctuates and the trend is bearish!The rise and fall of gold is not based on technical aspects, but more on fundamentals and big data, as well as the impact of tariffs. Without these influences, we are bearish this week. If the decline of the big C wave continues, the target will be 3230. 3165 is the Fibonacci 61.8 position of the callback and also the previous high point, which is easy to form a rebound. Gold focuses on two major suppressions, one is the hourly suppression around 3300, and the other is 3315 and 3328, both of which are opportunities for air forces. In terms of the short-term operation of gold, it is recommended to short on rebounds and long on callbacks. The short-term focus on the upper side is 3298-3300 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 3265-3260 support.
Gold technical and fundamental aspects resonate!At present, gold maintains an upward trend of shocks. The short-term support below is the middle track of 3270-3290 and the 30-day moving average. If it pulls back to this range, you can arrange long orders accordingly. The key resistance above is the double top pressure of 3370 and the psychological barrier of 3400. The technical side shows that the right shoulder top pattern is formed near 3370. If it breaks through effectively, it may accelerate the upward exploration. Otherwise, it will face the risk of correction if it encounters resistance. In the near future, we need to be vigilant against the repeated short-term shock pattern of market sentiment. The operation is mainly high-altitude, supplemented by low-long, and avoid chasing up and selling down.
GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Great start to the week with our chart idea playing out perfectly inline with our plans to buy dips.
We got our bearish targets 3306 and then into the retracement range like we analysed and then the perfect bounce now heading towards our Bullish targets.
We will look for a test and break above 3344 for a continuation or failure to test and lock above this level will se price play back into the lower Goldturns for support.
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 30 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.
