Gold operation strategyFrom the 4-hour analysis, the support below is around 3300-08. If it does not break, continue to be bullish. Pay attention to the short-term suppression of 3360-66 above. If the daily level stabilizes above this position, continue to maintain the low-multiple rhythm.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Go long when gold falls back to 3320-25, and cover long positions when it falls back to 3300-10, stop loss 3297, target 3355-3360, and continue to hold if it breaks;

The latest ideas on gold.Gold prices are still in a long-term bullish trend, and recent operations still maintain the idea of buying on dips; in the medium term, it may fluctuate at a high level, and mid-term operations need to be treated with caution. With the short-term rise in the European session, gold is waiting for a decline to go long.
Gold intraday trading strategy.From the 4-hour analysis, the support below is around 3280. If it does not break, the main bullish trend will remain unchanged. The upper side pays attention to the short-term suppression of 3334-40. The daily level maintains a high-altitude and low-multiple rhythm.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Short gold rebounds at 3334-40, and shorts at 3358-65. Stop loss at 3373, target 3300-3308, and continue to hold if it breaks;
Gold price plummets, gold analysis and layout!Focus on two positions: the first position is the upper 3360 line of pressure, the low point breaks the support and turns into pressure, and the top and bottom conversion position rebounds and touches it, so it is still bearish. The second position is 3305, which is the second starting point of the strong rise in the previous two days. According to the drop of 100 US dollars from 3415, it is at 3315. The drop exceeds 100 US dollars, and there is basically no problem in rebounding. Therefore, we can expect a rebound around the 3305-3310 area below. The probability of falling below 3300 is not high, and it is easy to come up even if it goes down.
Gold market analysis referenceGold short-term operation strategy is to short on rebound and long on pullback. The upper short-term focus is on the 3370-3375 resistance line, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3280-3290 support line. Gold operation strategy reference: short (buy short) 20% of the position in batches when gold rebounds around 3365-3370, stop loss 10 points, target around 3330-3305, break to look at the 3290 line;
Gold's volatile decline is in line with expectationsFrom the perspective of the 4-hour cycle, a big negative line closed down, breaking the support of the 5-day and 10-day moving averages. This wave may continue to fall to the Bollinger middle rail near 3300, but if it is a high-level shock, the Bollinger middle rail is not broken, and it may rise again to the high point of 3430. In this cycle, gold has experienced a big rise and fall, and now it is possible to rise or fall. In the short-term cycle, we will first pay attention to the support effect of 3360-3350 under weakness. If it does not break, we can continue to go long and bullish, with the upper target at 3400. On the whole, the short-term operation strategy of gold is recommended to be mainly short-selling on rebounds, supplemented by long-selling on pullbacks. The upper short-term focus is on the 3400-3405 line of resistance, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3350-3300 line of support.

M15 Chart:
The Fed's decision looks at the trend of gold!From the 1-hour chart, we can see that the gold price is always running below the middle track of the Bollinger Band. As long as the price can effectively stabilize above the middle track support level of 3350, it shows that the bulls are still dominant and the price may restart the upward trend at any time. If the price remains above the 3350 level, the bullish view will continue to be maintained, and the resistance performance of the 3380-3410 area should be closely watched. If the price successfully breaks through this area, it can be regarded as a staged upward target.

M15 Chart:
Dollar Decline Against All Major CurrenciesThe Dollar’s decline didn’t start with the recent ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs. In fact, it has been gradually weakening since the 1970s.
More recently, however, the Dollar has lost value against many currencies since January. Why is that?
Why have the USD/CHF and USD/SGD strengthened against the US Dollar over the past few decades? One reason is that both countries have managed their money supply with discipline. For example, as of end-2024, Switzerland’s net federal debt stood at 141 billion Swiss franc, their debt to GDP ratio at 17.2%.
In contrast, the United States has expanded its national debt at an alarming rate. Some might point out that Japan’s debt-to-GDP ratio is even higher—around 230%. That is why the Japanese Yen has also been in decline for decades.
Why does printing more money through QE and increasing the money supply weaken a currency?
Just imagine in a close economy with 10 people and 1 central bank. If the central bank printed $100 and distributed equally to the 10, each of them will receive $10 to buy 10 available cheesecakes.
But now the central bank decided to print $1,000 and each person will have $100 to buy 10 available cheesecakes.
The global economy is not a close, but an open system.
When the US and other major economies printed massive amounts of money, they didn’t just inflate their own economies—they exported inflation worldwide. This contributes to rising cost of living not all around the world.
In my view, Gold is also a currency pair against the US at the start of 1971. The moment dollar unpeg itself from gold, gold appreciates. With each QE, we can see how the currencies have diluted with gold and inflation appreciating over these years.
Why different currencies have started to appreciate against the USD since January this year?
We can see all the currencies have either reached its bottomed in January and started moving higher or it formed a reversal pattern like the Aussie dollar and the Dollar Yuan, in this case with this inverted hammer, it is indicating Dollar Yuan to reverse downward, meaning dollar coming off and yuan to appreciate.
January was President Trump inauguration and February was when he rolled out tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China, and the market do not like that and has been selling the USD against the rest of the currencies?
If US has printed the so much money, but why other than Swiss franc and Singapore Dollar, many other currencies have been depreciating against dollars over the past decades?
I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.

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!
XAU/USD 28 April - 02 May 2025 Weekly AnalysisWeekly Analysis:
Swing Structure -> Bullish.
Internal Structure -> Bullish.
Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 16 March 2025.
In my analysis dated 27 October 2024 I mentioned (below) that price could potentially print higher-highs in order to reposition CHoCH. This is exactly how price printed. CHoCH positioning has been brought significantly closer to current price action. CHoCH positioning is denoted with a shortened blue dotted horizontal line.
The remainder of my analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 09 February 2025.
Price has printed a further bullish iBOS.
Price is currently trading within an internal low and fractal high. CHoCH positioning is denoted with a blue dashed line.
Price Action Analysis:
In my analysis dated 27 October 2024, it was noted that the first sign of a pullback would be a bearish Change of Character (CHoCH), indicated by a blue dotted line. Price's consistent upward momentum had repositioned previous CHoCH much closer to recent price levels as expected for weeks. Current CHoCH positioning is quite a distance away from price, therefore, it would be viable if price continued bullish to reposition ChOCH.
Note:
It is highly unlikely price will "crash" as many analysts are predicting. My view is this is merely a corrective wave of the primary trend.
Given the Federal Reserve's dovish policy stance alongside heightened geopolitical risks, market volatility is likely to remain elevated, influencing intraday price swings.
Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty and potential repricing of Gold.
