Gold starts a unilateral decline?
📌 Gold information
U.S. stock indexes fell sharply in midday trading due to disappointing U.S. economic data. On Friday, the U.S. Department of Labor will release the crucial monthly employment report. This is likely to be the most important U.S. data point so far this year.
In other news, Dow Jones News Service reported: "Tariffs are beginning to bring pressure, prompting the Eastern giant to increase stimulus to support economic growth.
📊Comment analysis
For international gold, what you need to do now is to follow the market. Don't think about bottom fishing. You can do a short-term rebound during the day. When the market has clearly broken the structure, you should choose to believe in the technical side, rather than speculate on the next support. This will only be endless. At this stage, if you fail to bottom fishing, are you still ready to try again near the integer of 3200? This is not over yet. Even if it falls below 3200, the 3180 horizontal support will be immediately below.
This round of decline is about to completely give up the second rise in the front end, depending on 3180. This is why I just said that 3200 will immediately encounter a new support. The reason why many people choose to go long above 3240 is also because it is the first stage of the high platform of the front-end surge, and it is necessary to defend. Unfortunately, the defense is not successful now. In other words, if you want to go short next, you have to look at the continued decline. What are the characteristics of the continued decline? You certainly can't tolerate it having an excessive rebound, so don't think about any high-altitude trading strategy.

Gold 3213 and 3272 are space switching points
📌 Gold information
The US non-farm payrolls report released this Friday (May 3) will become a market vane. If the employment data deteriorates significantly (such as the sharp drop in private employment growth shown by ADP), it may strengthen the expectation of interest rate cuts and promote the rebound of gold; on the contrary, if the data is stable, the US dollar may further suppress the price of gold.
The intraday decline in gold prices seems to be partly driven by technical selling pressure, after gold prices decisively fell below the key support level of $3,265-3,260. However, due to the unexpected contraction of US GDP and the intensification of signs of slowing inflation, the market's expectations for further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) have increased, and the US dollar (USD) has found it difficult to maintain any significant rebound.
📊Comment Analysis
Gold price rose strongly by $544 in April. It entered the mode of space sweeping and adjustment from the confirmation of 3500. The next move is to sweep the range of the large range, starting at at least $40, and the range is $100, sweeping back and forth

📌 Policy factors
Gold prices (XAU/USD) continued to fall, falling to $3,310 in the current European session on Wednesday, as signs of improved global risk sentiment and easing trade tensions curbed demand for safe-haven assets. Market participants remained cautious ahead of the release of major US economic data, including ADP employment changes, core PCE price index and first quarter GDP preliminary values, all of which are scheduled to be released later today.
It is reported that President Trump suddenly signed an executive order to provide automakers with up to 15% tariff rebates to ease the impact of his auto tariff policy. Even more unexpectedly, US Commerce Secretary Lutnick revealed that a trade agreement had been reached secretly with a certain country. These major changes immediately triggered a strong market reaction.

Gold still has a chance to reboundCurrently, gold's bulls and bears are still oscillating within a large range. The key pressure above and the upper edge of the range are maintained near 3365-70, while the lower edge of the large range and the support are maintained near 3260. It is very likely that there will be multiple shocks and choices within this range again.

GOLD OUTLOOKThis chart is a technical analysis setup for Gold Spot (XAU/USD) on the 1-hour timeframe, showing a potential sell (short) trade idea. Here's a breakdown of the chart elements:
🔍 Key Zones Identified
Entry Zone:
Around 3380$-3394$
This is the suggested area where the trader plans to enter a short position (sell), expecting price to reverse downward from here.

Ends near 3,415.80 USD
This zone is above the entry area and marks the risk level — if the price reaches here, the setup becomes invalid and the trade would be exited at a loss.
Target / Reversal Zone:
This is the take-profit area where the trader expects the price to potentially reverse or where they will close the short trade with profit.
📉 Trade Idea Visualization

Then reverse downwards, hitting the target near the reversal zone.
✅ Summary of the Setup
Bias: Bearish
Strategy: Wait for price to hit entry zone (~3,380.00), then sell

Golden three-game winning streak, next week’s market?Gold's 1-hour moving average continues to be short, but after gold bottomed out at first-line support near 3265, gold rebounded to more than 50 US dollars. So is this rebound a reversal? Not sure yet, because the fluctuations are basically around 100 US dollars every day, and a rebound of 50 US dollars can hardly be called a reversal. The strength of next week is the key.
If gold does not rebound very strongly next week, then gold will still fluctuate and be bearish. The resistance of the 1-hour moving average above gold is near 3354, and the top of the negative line of gold on Friday is near 3352. If there is no effective breakthrough of these two positions next week, it will still be a fluctuating and bearish trend.
Gold surged and then fell back to fluctuate, pay attention to 33
The first goal of trading is survival, and the second is profit.
📌 Driving events
After experiencing the biggest drop in five months, gold prices rose on Thursday (April 24) and returned to above the 3300 mark.
After US President Trump hinted that tariffs on China might be reduced and expressed no intention to remove Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, the market's risk aversion has cooled down. Gold hit a high of $3,367 during the Asian trading session, which can be regarded as ice and fire!
📊Comment analysis
For participants in the gold market, the impact of this price plunge is self-evident. The stock prices of gold mining companies have fallen accordingly, and the production capacity that expanded in the early stage due to the rise in gold prices may face the risk of shrinking profits.
At present, gold is under obvious pressure from above, and what needs to be paid attention to now is that the current round of gold adjustments is likely to continue, which means that it is not time to buy the bottom yet!
💰Strategy Package
Except for the early morning wave, the strength of the hourly line rebound is actually somewhat weak. As for the European session, Labaron is more inclined to continue to be bearish, and the current first round of rebound pressure is around 3350! If the rebound is in place, you can continue to try short orders!

The gold shorts aren’t over yet
The 1-hour moving average of gold continues to turn downward. If the 1-hour moving average of gold forms a death cross downward, then there is still room for gold to go down in the 1-hour period. Gold has been under pressure from the 3340 resistance line for many times in the US market and has fallen. Gold has hit a new low again in the US market, falling to the 3260 line. The lows of gold continue to hit new lows, so the gold short position has not ended yet. The resistance of the 1-hour moving average of gold has moved down to around 3366. Gold continues to be shorted at highs below 3366.
Gold short position wins streak, waiting to continue shortingThe 1-hour moving average of gold continues to turn downward. If a downward dead cross pattern is formed, then there is still room for gold bears to fall. Gold is under pressure to fall near the resistance line of 3340.
Gold's current rebound is not very strong. Although it seems to rebound a lot every time, that is because the market volatility has increased. Gold is still a bearish trend in the short term, and the rebound continues to be bearish.
Trading ideas: short gold near 3338, stop loss 3350, target 3318
Gold: Bearish, may fall below 3300📊 Yesterday, gold resumed its bullish move after a minor pullback, breaking through the 3400 level and reaching around 3440 during today’s early session, before starting to retrace.
📉 In the chart I shared yesterday, the black line represents the key bull-bear boundary. The current price has already broken below this level, and if it fails to reclaim it, the trend may shift toward bearish in the short term.
📌 Key support levels to watch:
First support: 3383
Next support: 3350
If selling intensifies, there’s a real chance price may break below 3300
Gold is now far away from the moving averageGold's 1-hour moving average continues to cross upward bullish divergence, and the gold bullish volume is still there. After breaking through 3400, gold has basically stabilized at 3400. Gold has also tested the support near 3405 several times in the US market. Gold continues to stabilize and rise. However, gold is now far away from the moving average, and we must always pay attention to the adjustment of the high position. Gold is watching the pressure around 3461
Gold: Profit on Open, Focus on Key Zones Congrats to everyone who followed my long positions before last Thursday’s market close!
Gold opened higher today, bringing us the first profit of the new week — a great start with accurate direction!
Currently, gold is facing selling pressure near the historical high around 3360. On the 1H chart, technical indicators look solid. Once the pressure is absorbed, there’s a good chance the price may reach new highs today.
However, be cautious: If the upward trend weakens or stalls, there’s a risk of a double top formation — a bearish sign for the bulls.
📌 Key zones to watch today (as marked in the chart):
Support: Around 3308
Resistance: Around 3369
With price at elevated levels, a breakout above resistance often leads to a pullback to retest previous support, so adjust strategies flexibly.
Trading Advice:
Focus on support/resistance flips
Prioritize sell high, buy low within the zone
Manage risk and avoid chasing price blindly
XAUUSD Gold Bearish Setup for upcoming week.XAUUSD Sell Setup – Short from Resistance at 3350
Gold (XAUUSD) has approached a key resistance level around 3350, where previous price action suggests potential for bearish reversal. With the current momentum showing signs of exhaustion, we’re looking for a short opportunity from this zone.
Trade Idea:
Sell Entry: 3350 (resistance level)
Target 1: 3310 – Minor support / first reaction zone
Target 2: 3290 – Key support area
Target 3: 3250 – Major support & potential full TP zone
Stop Loss: Above recent swing high (suggested: 3360–3370)
Analysis:
Price has formed a potential double top / rejection wicks near 3350, signaling possible downside. A break below 3310 will likely accelerate bearish momentum.
Risk Management:
Use proper lot sizing and move SL to breakeven after TP1 for a safe ride to lower targets.
Gold fluctuates and adjusts, will next week be the key?Gold fell all the way in the US market on Friday, with the lowest falling to the 3283 line. However, gold once again rose as a risk aversion. Will gold return to a large range of shocks, or will the adjustment end? The trend of gold after the opening next week will be critical. If gold continues to rise strongly at the opening next week, then gold may end its adjustment, and gold bulls may continue to exert their strength
If gold is still under pressure at 3332 after the opening next week, then gold may continue to fluctuate downward in the short term, thereby driving the moving average to turn. If it directly breaks through 3332 strongly after the opening, then gold will start to fluctuate in a large range.
The current market is very volatile due to the impact of news, and the next trend of gold will become clear on Monday. I will continue to bring analysis to my friends on Monday
Gold continues to wait for a new ATH of 3381
📌 Driving Events
On Thursday, gold prices (XAU/USD) entered a consolidation phase, fluctuating in a narrow range near the all-time highs set during the Asian session, as investors digested conflicting market signals. Stronger-than-expected US retail sales data and tough comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell supported the US dollar (USD), curbing some of the upward momentum of gold. At the same time, optimism in the stock market and slightly overbought technicals prompted traders to remain cautious, currently limiting a new round of buying interest in precious metals.

Gold: Directional Break ImminentYesterday’s market remained calm without any significant swings, unlike the strong movements we’ve seen previously. Today, however, appears to be a critical turning point as the market prepares for a directional breakout.
📊 Technical Overview:
Gold is showing signs of retesting the resistance around 3240, while short-term support lies at 3194–3188. If this resistance holds and the price fails to break above, a double-top pattern may form—potentially triggering a major drop between Wednesday and Thursday.
If the price breaks above 3240, there may be around $30 of additional upside, but this is likely to mark the formation of a short-term top, followed again by a decline.
