XAU/USD : Bull or Bear? (READ THE CAPTION)Analyzing the #Gold chart on the 4-hour timeframe, we can observe that yesterday, following the announcement of a potential ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel, gold experienced a significant drop, correcting by over 800 pips down to $2,605. This sharp decline created a major liquidity gap, which I anticipate will likely be filled as prices recover soon.
Additionally, today we have the critical CB Consumer Confidence data release, which could significantly impact the market and trigger high volatility. Be cautious with your trades and manage your risk effectively!

Metals
G&S ratio rising could be bearish on metals medium termThe G&S ratio is back above resistance (now support) and wants to break out of the bullish wedge in dark rose color.
If that happens, an inverse H&S formation could play out and shoot us up (blue line) to the extension of the rising resistance of the (yellow) bearish rising wedge. This would mean a last hurray spike of the ratio, to touch the apex a last time before falling again.
The final fall of the G&S ratio would then signal the risumption of the bull market and the further collapse in the G&S ratio would signifie a raging bull market for precious metale (both silver and gold - but especially silver).
The bull market in metals is unavoidable with the current macro sitauation. However its resumption could be delaid if this set up plays out.

The US has begun to enter a cycle of lowering interest rates.Currently, the world is witnessing the monetary tightening cycle coming to an end. Many countries, including the US, have begun to enter a cycle of lowering interest rates.
Minutes of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) published on the night of November 26 (Vietnam time) mentioned that the US needs to gradually lower interest rates. However, it also recorded signs of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell losing control, with board members uncertain about what the long-term interest rate target will be.
Market signals show that there is a nearly 60% chance that the Fed will reduce interest rates for the third consecutive time at its meeting in December. In 2025, the Fed will also likely reduce a few more times.
The USD will be under downward pressure even though the US economy is expected to improve after Mr. Trump takes office. Gold prices will likely continue to be supported and maintain an uptrend lasting from the end of 2023 until now.
Most experts forecast that gold is still in an uptrend. However, this commodity is likely to continue to fluctuate strongly as the world becomes increasingly complex. Mr. Trump's policies and policy statements may continue to impact markets, causing commodity prices to fluctuate sharply.
GOLD BEARS ARE STRONG HERE|SHORT
Hello, Friends!
It makes sense for us to go short on GOLD right now from the resistance line above with the target of 2,616.113 because of the confluence of the two strong factors which are the general downtrend on the previous 1W candle and the overbought situation on the lower TF determined by it’s proximity to the upper BB band.

GOLD → Trading inside the channel from the range boundariesFX:XAUUSD declines to 2620 amid positive news from the Middle East, but the overall fundamental background is still difficult. Today is low liquidity due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the US.
The gold price is down amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on Wednesday. But on Wednesday night there were reports of an escalation of conflict in Aleppo, Syria .... Also not to forget the escalated conflict in Eastern Europe.
The dollar is still in consolidation, given that today is a holiday in the U.S., there may be low liquidity and high volatility in the market. Accordingly, an exaggerated price movement in gold cannot be ruled out.
Technically, gold is flat, so we consider trading from the range boundaries. We focus on the local channel from H1 2660 - 2618 and the global channel from D1 - 2689 (2710) - 2605.
Resistance levels: 2660, 2604, 2678, 2689
Support levels: 2618, 2605
Accordingly, in the momen, gold is heading towards the liquidity above. False breakdown of the key resistance zone and price consolidation in the selling zone may form a price decline to the lower boundary of the flat.

COPPER bottomed and a huge rally is expected to start.Copper (HG1!) has been trading within a Channel Up for 1.5 year (since May 2022) and is consolidating at the moment on the 1W MA50 (red trend-line) very close to the pattern's bottom. This is in fact a Double Bottom formation that is similar to the September 28 2022 Low.
As you can see both fractals had a 1W MA50 Double Bottom with their 1D RSI sequences also following an identical trend. The 2022 bottom initiated a rebound that hit the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level. As a result, our Target as of now for Copper is 4.900.

5 MINUTE GOLD SETUP.We have a break of structure (BOS). Now, I need to wait for a retracement to the breaker block or fair value gap (FVG), among other areas of interest. Then, I will switch to the 1-minute time frame to look for a bullish momentum candle. It is important that we see a clear rejection from these key areas before making an entry.
GOLD | Stop Loss Hunting Will Push Gold HigherI'm opening my 13th position: The bull flag was broken, but it was not broken obviously and strongly, the passage was too slow to suggest that the current forming trend is now fully bearish. I assume we're going to fly higher from current correction.
Here is my very cautious position:
Opening: 2625
TP: 2635
SL: 2575
Let's see what happens next!
GOLD → Controversial fundamental background. What's next?FX:XAUUSD is taking advantage of the dollar weakness and heading towards the zones of interest and liquidity 2665 - 2688. Overall, the fundamental backdrop is not stable, but at the same time weak for gold. PCE, GDP and resistance ahead....
The ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel has entered into force. This has helped to reduce demand for the US dollar, which is generally reflected in the forex market. Gold is feeling support from sustained expectations for the Fed and uncertainty over the outlook for global trade during the Trump presidency, which intends to impose new tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico. Ahead of the upcoming macroeconomic news from the US are PCE and GDP.
Technically, gold is in a sideways range and is looking up towards zones of interest from which a correction could form. But this reaction is partly dependent on the news as well....
Resistance levels: 2660, 2664, 2680
Support levels: 2620, 2605
The focus is on the imbalance zone, 0.7 fibo and 2680 area. Due to the controversial technical and fundamental background, the gold price may close inside a wide channel, which allows us to use its boundaries for trading. We are watching the resistance with a sell target for further downside

The real (quarterly annually adjusted) rate of gross domestic product (GDP) in the United States in the third quarter was unchanged from its baseline value, at 2.8%, and growth slowed from 3% in the second quarter.
But the GDP report still shows that the US economy still has good resilience. GDP growth has exceeded 2% in eight of the past nine quarters.

On the daily chart, gold continues to maintain its main bearish trend after approaching and coming under pressure from the 21-day moving average (EMA21).

On the other hand, the Relative Strength Index is flat below 50, if it is pointing down this can be considered a good signal for a downtrend.

USD weakness added momentum to gold on Wednesday. Accordingly, the US Dollar Index fell 0.8%, hitting a two-week low, increasing the appeal of gold to holders of other currencies.
However, the growth rate of this precious metal has been limited by the release of new data showing the potential distribution of chlorophyll. This indicates that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) could be very important in cutting interest rates. According to the report, US consumer spending increased sharply in October, but the slowdown appears to have been patchy in recent months.
According to the minutes of the recent policy meeting released on Tuesday, there is currently uncertainty about the direction of the economy. That increased market expectations for an interest rate cut in December after the minutes were released.

GOLD → Controversial fundamental background. What's next?OANDA:XAUUSD capitalizing on the weakening of the US dollar and heading towards the areas of interest and liquidity at 2635 - 2639. But! There are signs that a flag pattern is forming. Theoretically, any attempt for gold prices to rise could be limited. PCE, GDP, and the resistance ahead...
Meanwhile, sellers pause slightly amid concerns about trade wars, geopolitical risks, expectations that the Fed will cut rates by another 25 basis points in December, recently declining US bond yields, and the USD falling overnight to a two-week low. However, ahead of the upcoming macroeconomic news from the US, namely PCE and GDP, after a relatively quiet news week, volatility is likely to be unpredictable. The question now is whether the downward momentum will continue as the price reacts to a critical support zone.

GOLD should continue bullish as the Dollar takes a breakcaught a nice move yesterday and looking for the move to continue today. We are sitting in a high volume level on the VP and bears are starting to fall back from being active. waiting for the next 2hours of the Asian kill zone to show me what price wants to do.
Xau/usd Massive sell as DXY continue to rise!!I believe the strength of the US dollar will continue to rise until next year, as it has been consolidating during the election period. We also discussed a similar market pattern that occurred over the last four years, which is happening again now. Therefore, there is a higher probability that we could see a significant selloff back to its monthly lows.

Sorry, I've already started shorting goldBros, gold rose to the 2650-2660 area as expected, and we made a very good profit on the long position we held since yesterday. At present, gold has reached a high of around 2654. Then it is obvious that since gold fell from 2721 to 2604, its 50% split line is exactly in the 2660-2665 area; and in the short term, since gold fell from 2688 to 2604, its 61.8% split line is exactly in the 2655-2660 area. So gold faces resistance in the 2655-2665 area in the short term.
If the current rebound of gold is just a correction to the downward trend, then gold may still fall again when facing this resistance area. So I have reminded everyone that you can short gold near 2653, bros, wish us good luck!

EURCAD - The Perfect Flat Correction. 700pip Move Coming!EURCAD is in a nice 335 Flat Correction.
Wave A = 3 waves
Wave B = 3 waves
Wave C = 5 waves.
Wave C
We are currently in wave C (5 waves). We have seen wave 1, which was a leading diagonal. Wave 2 was a simple abc correction.
Wave 3 a strong bearish impulsive move.
We are now in wave 4.
It's important to note wave C can follow either an ending diagonal format or an impulsive schematic format. In the latter format, wave 4 cannot go beyond wave 1 completion, making our invalidation level 1.48725 for a risk entry.
Trade Idea:
- Look for an entry with with stops above 1.48725 (Small stops needed)
- Hold position to 1.416 (700pips)
If we break above 1.48725, it means wave C is in an ending diagonal format. If this happens, we can look for a lower timeframe trendline break or BOS.
See below for our last setup:
EURCAD 4H - Entry on break of risk trendline for a more confirmed entry
Goodluck and as always, trade safe!
