Go long gold, target: 3030-3040Gold tested the support of 2985-2975 again during the correction process, but did not fall below this area during the test. Combined with the structural lows of gold yesterday, they were 2970 and 2956. Today, gold did not fall below 2970, so it is very likely that gold will form a head and shoulders bottom pattern at the technical level, which will help gold to continue its rebound momentum with this strong technical support!
So I think the short-term decline of gold is not a risk for us, but the best gift for us. So I advocate going long on gold from now on. After gold repeatedly tests the support, it will rise to the 3030-3040 area without hesitation.

Why I Only Buy Dips / Sell Rallies When I Trade GoldWhen it comes to trading Gold (XAUUSD), I’ve learned one key truth: breakouts lie, but dips/rallies tell the truth.
That’s why I stick to one rule that has kept me consistently profitable:
I only buy dips in an uptrend and only sell rallies in a downtrend.
Let me explain exactly why this approach works so well—especially on Gold, a notoriously tricky market.
________________________________________
1. 🔥 Gold is famous for fake breakouts
Breakouts on Gold often look amazing… until they trap you.
You enter just as price breaks a key level—then suddenly it reverses and stops you out.
This happens because Gold loves to tease liquidity. It breaks highs or lows just enough to activate stop losses or attract breakout traders, only to reverse.
Buying dips or selling rallies protects you from these traps by entering from value, not hype.
________________________________________
2. ✅ I get better stop-loss placement and risk:reward
When I buy a dip, I can place my stop below a strong level (like a support zone or swing low).
That gives me tight risk and allows for big reward potential—often 1:2, 1:3 or more.
Breakout trades, on the other hand, often require wider stops or result in poor entries due to emotional execution.
________________________________________
3. ⏳ I get time to assess the market
False breakouts happen fast. But dips usually form more gradually.
That gives me time to analyze price action, spot confirmation signals, and even scratch the trade at breakeven if it starts to fail.
This reduces emotional decisions and increases my accuracy.
________________________________________
4. 🎯 Gold respects key levels more than it respects momentum
Even in strong trends, Gold often retraces deeply and retests zones before continuing.
That means entries near key levels—on a dip or rally—are more reliable than chasing price.
I’d rather wait for the zone than jump in mid-air.
________________________________________
5. 🔁 Even in aggressive trends, Gold often reverts to the mean
Lately, Gold has been trending hard—no doubt.
But even during explosive moves, it frequently pulls back to key moving averages or demand zones.
That’s why mean reversion entries on dips or rallies continue to offer excellent setups, even in fast-moving markets.
________________________________________
6. 🧠 I benefit from retail trader mistakes
Most traders get excited on breakouts.
But what usually happens? The breakout fails, and the price returns to structure.
By waiting for the dip/rally (when others are panicking or taking losses), I can enter at a discount and ride the move in the right direction.
________________________________________
7. 🧘♂️ This strategy forces patience and discipline
Waiting for dips or rallies requires patience.
You don’t jump in randomly. You plan your entry, your stop, your take profit—calmly.
That mental discipline is a trading edge on its own.
________________________________________
8. 📊 I align myself with probability, not emotion
In an uptrend, buying a dip is logical.
In a downtrend, selling a rally is natural.
Trying to “chase the breakout” is emotional—trying to get in on the action, fearing you'll miss the move.
I trade with the trend, from the right zone, and with a clear plan.
________________________________________
9. 🕒 I can use pending limit orders and walk away
One of the most underrated benefits of trading dips and rallies?
I don’t need to chase the market or be glued to the screen.
When I see a clean level forming, I simply place a buy limit (or sell limit) with my stop and target predefined.
This saves time, reduces overtrading, and keeps my emotions in check.
It’s a set-and-forget approach that fits perfectly with Gold’s tendency to return to key zones—even during high volatility.
________________________________________
🔚 Final thoughts
There’s no perfect trading strategy. But when it comes to Gold, buying dips and selling rallies consistently keeps me on the right side of probability.
I avoid the emotional traps. I get better entries. And most importantly, I protect my capital while maximizing reward.
Next time you see Gold breaking out, ask yourself:
“Is this real… or should I just wait for the dip/rally?”
That question might save you a lot of pain.
GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Another great day on the markets with our Goldturn levels playing out and respecting in true level to level fashion.
After completing the Bullish target from the retracement range yesterday; we stated that we were now playing in a bigger range and if 2975 fails to lock and open the swing range, the retracement range should give bounces into our Goldturns above. This played out perfectly, as 2999 and 3015 was tested from the bounce. We will now like to see ema5 lock above 3015 for a stronger confirmation for a continuation into 3034 and potentially into 3055 to test the full range again.
However, if we see the break below 2975 retracement level; it will open the swing range, which always gives us a bigger swing action then our usual weighted level bounces. This is the main difference between the weighted level bounces and our swing 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.

Buy gold, expect a rebound to 3000Gold just fell to 2958, but quickly rebounded to above 2965. The short-term support of 2965-2960 was not effectively broken. Gold quickly recovered above the short-term support, proving that bulls still have room to fight back. I expect gold to at least rebound and test the 3000 position again, so in short-term trading, we should not be too bearish on gold.
I actually reminded everyone in the last article update that we can buy gold when gold falls. In this extremely fierce market, with a cautious trading mentality, I actually do not expect too much about the rebound space of the bulls. Once gold touches around 3000, I will leave the market safely and lock in profits!

Gold still has the potential to bounce back to 3070!Gold has been experiencing significant volatility driven by fundamental factors. While bearish sentiment appears to remain dominant, the recent downside move has already priced in much of the negative risk. As such, traders should avoid an overly one-sided bearish bias in the current environment.
After bottoming out near the 2970 level, gold staged a strong rebound. During the ensuing consolidation phase, the 3010–3000 zone has provided consistent support, signaling the emergence of a short-term demand zone. This indicates that the bulls have not completely capitulated and may attempt to stage a corrective rally toward the 3050 level, or potentially even as high as 3070.
From a short-term trading perspective, we may consider initiating long positions within the 3015–3005 range, aiming for an upside target of 3050, with a possible extension toward the 3070 resistance area.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Great start to the week with our 1h chart route map playing out, as analysed.
We started the session with our Bearish targets 3034 and 3034 and then the retracement range targets at 2999 and 2975, followed with our Bullish target at 3055, perfectly inline with our plans to buy dips.
The range is currently big and we will continue to see play and test between the weighted levels. A re-test and break below the retracement range will open the swing rang. However, continuous support above the retracement range will see a further test at 3055 weighted Goldturn level and lock above 3055 will see the range above open.
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.

Master swing trading! Both long and short sides can profit!The current fundamental environment: tariff issues and geopolitical conflicts are on opposite sides, so there are both bearish and bullish factors for the gold market, which have triggered fierce competition between long and short forces to a certain extent, exacerbating market volatility!
At present, overall, the short forces have the upper hand, but the longs still have a certain ability to fight back! If the short energy is fully released during the process of gold falling to around 2970, then gold may still usher in a wave of rebound opportunities in the short term. First of all, the areas worthy of our participation in trading are mainly concentrated in the following:
1. The short-term support area below: 3010-3000; secondly, the important defensive area for bulls is: 2975-2965.
2. The short-term resistance area above: 3040-3050; secondly, the important defensive area for bears is: 3070-3080.
This is the key area that we must pay attention to in the short-term, and it is also an important reference for our next short-term trading!

GOLD DAILY CHART MID/LONG TERM UPDATEHey Everyone,
This is an update on our daily chart idea that we have been tracking for a while now and finally completed last week. However, I wanted to continue to share an update on this, as its still playing out by falling back into the range on Fridays drop in price.
Historically, whenever we see a breakout outside of our unique Goldturn channels; I always state that, when price does a correction, we look for support outside of the channel top. This is playing out to perfection with Fridays drop finding support on the channel top, as highlighted by us on the chart with a circle. This was done with precision!!
We will now look for a test above at 3052 and a body close above this will follow with continuation to 3103 or a break below inside the channel top wall with ema5 will re-activate the levels below inside the channel, which we can then continue to track back up level to level, like we did before. I have also updated the levels above the channel to cover the new range.
This is the beauty of our Goldturn channels, which we draw in our unique way, using averages rather than price. This enables us to identify fake-outs and breakouts clearly, as minimal noise in the way our channels are drawn.
We will use our smaller timeframe analysis on the 1H and 4H chart to buy dips from the weighted Goldturns for 30 to 40 pips clean. Ranging markets are perfectly suited for this type of trading, instead of trying to hold longer positions and getting chopped up in the swings up and down in the 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 using our smaller timeframe ideas.
Our long term bias is Bullish and therefore we look forward to drops from rejections, which allows us to continue to use our smaller timeframes to buy dips using our levels and setups.
Buying dips allows us to safely manage any swings rather then chasing the bull from the top.
Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it!

GOLD WEEKLY CHART MID/LONG TERM ROUTE MAPHey Everyone,
This is an update on our weekly chart ideas, which we have been tracking, as our long term route map.
After completing 3094 target no further body close or ema5 lock above this level. Therefore no further gaps left above and followed with a rejection. We are now looking for support and bounce on the channel half line or a cross and lock below the half line will open the lower range for the channel low Goldturns.
We expect the range play between the channel half-line and 3094 and will need a break on either of these levels to determine the next range.
This is the beauty of our channels, which we draw in our unique way, using averages rather than price. This enables us to identify fake-outs and breakouts clearly, as minimal noise in the way our channels are drawn.

The bearish trend is just beginning: Short Gold!Good morning, bros! With the gold price falling by LSE:100H yesterday, there is no doubt that the market is currently dominated by bears! As the gold high gradually moves down, it is difficult to hold even 3100, further weakening the bullish momentum and exacerbating panic selling to a certain extent!
Obviously, as gold completes the regional conversion, the previous support has been transformed into an important resistance area in the short term, and the short-term resistance effect of the 3115-3125 zone is very obvious; and the current area near 3090 does not play a structural support role, so the area near 3090 is easy to be broken, and the short-term support below is in the 3075-3065 zone.
So in terms of short-term trading, before the NFP market, we can still short gold with the resistance of the 3115-3125 zone, with the first target pointing to the 3075-3065 zone, followed by the 3055-3045 zone.

XAUUSD: Buy or Sell?Today's gold market can be said to have the largest intraday volatility since 2025! After experiencing violent fluctuations, the current trend of gold has once again become anxious.
However, from the perspective of range conversion, it is certain that gold is currently operating in a weak position, and after the brutal and violent fluctuations, the market also needs to recuperate. And there will be NFP tomorrow. It is expected that before NFP, it will be difficult for gold to form a new unilateral market again. So in the process of shock, I think both long and short sides have a certain profit space.
First of all, pay attention to the resistance of 3125-3135 area on the top. If gold touches this area during the shock process, we can still short gold;
And the first focus on the 3095-3085 area on the bottom is that if gold touches this area during the shock process, we can still consider going long on gold.

GOLD DAILY CHART MID/LONG TERM UPDATEHey Everyone,
This is an update on our daily chart idea that we are now tracking for a while now. If you have only started following us, please read the updates below at the bottom from previous weeks to see how effectively we have been tracking this.
Once again another great day on the markets with our daily chart idea playing out to completion. Yesterday we updated the completion of our 1H chart route map and today we have finally completed this daily chart idea. Our last update we stated that we had the candle body close above 3052 opening 3103 axis target. This was hit perfectly this week completing this chart idea.
We will continue to update our new multi time frame route maps, as usual, with renewed chart ideas on our usual weekly updates.

OLD UPDATES ON THIS CHART IDEA
MARCH 23RD WEEK UPDAT E
The half line of our unique channel gave the perfect bounce into the next axis target at 2904, inline with our plans to buy dips just like we stated. We now have a body close once again with ema5 cross and lock above 2904 leaving the range above open. We will continue to look for support at the ascending half-line of the channel, as we climb into the range.
PREVIOUS WEEKS UPDATE
After completing our Bullish targets we stated that the channel top will act as resistance confirmed with ema5 rejection. A break of the channel top with ema5 would confirm a continuation and failure would confirm rejection. This allowed us to identify true breakouts against fake outs.
We also stated that we need to keep in mind the channel half line below to establish floor to provide support for the range, should we continue to track further up. A break below the half line will open the lower part of the channel to establish floor on the channel bottom. The safest way to track this movement is by buying dips.
- Once again this played out perfectly as we got the rejection on the channel top followed with the channel half line test, which gave the perfect bounce like we stated. We will now either look for a continuation from this bounce or a cross and lock below the half line for a break into the lower channel floor.
Continue to short gold after the rebound!Although gold did not fall due to the negative impact of ADP data, this does not mean that the risk of gold falling has been eliminated. As long as gold does not break through the recent highs, and in the fluctuations in recent days, the resistance strength of the 3135-3145 zone has been strengthened, gold still has a considerable risk of falling before breaking through the resistance area, and once gold falls below the 3110-3100 zone, it is bound to retreat to the 3095-3085 zone!

A rebound is a good opportunity to short goldGold rebounds from 3100, but is the bullish momentum truly revived?
I don’t see it that way. Yesterday’s retracement to 3100 has already weakened the strong bullish structure to some extent, with 3150 likely acting as a key resistance level. I believe the current rebound is merely a technical retest of the 3150 zone, reinforcing it as a potential cycle high and paving the way for a double-top formation, which could provide a bearish technical setup for further downside.
Following the initial 3100 test, a second retest of this support level is likely. If gold fails to hold 3100 on the second attempt, a break lower towards 3095-3085 would become increasingly probable.
I will continue to scale into short positions within the 3132-3142 zone, with an initial target of 3120-3110. If gold approaches 3100, I will closely monitor the price action to assess the likelihood of a further breakdown.
