How to layout gold before non-agricultural data🗞News side: 1. Progress in Sino-US tariff negotiations: The United States has recently contacted China through multiple channels, releasing signals that a trade agreement may be reached. Market concerns about trade friction have significantly cooled down, weakening the safe-haven appeal of gold. 2. The U.S. non-farm payrolls report for April will be released today (expected to add 130,000 new jobs). If the data is weak, it may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut. On the contrary, if it is stronger than expected, the interest rate cut schedule may be further delayed. 📈Technical aspects: Gold bottomed out yesterday and has now rebounded to around 3250. For the current market situation, the previous low of 3260-3270 has become an important resistance level above the gold price after the top-to-bottom conversion. In addition, non-agricultural data will be released in the U.S. market today. Therefore, if gold wants to reverse upward, the first resistance will be in the 3260-3270 range. If the counter pull from the bottom fails to stabilize at 3270, then there will be a downward trend. If it breaks through this resistance range, it may test the 3286 line. Before the release of non-agricultural data, the European market can be shorted when encountering resistance at 3260-3270. Everyone is waiting patiently for the opportunity to enter. The following focuses on the important support of 3200. If you agree with this point of view, or you have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

Gold on Edge – Will NFP Trigger the Next Big Move?🚨 Gold at a Crossroads – Will NFP & White House Comments Trigger a Volatility Spike? ⚡ 🧭 Macro Overview Gold enters the US session with a mild rebound after a sharp selloff, following its historic climb to $3,500/oz. The recent drop was driven less by fundamentals and more by aggressive profit-taking, especially from retail flows in Asia, notably China. Rather than a trend reversal, this correction looks like a healthy technical reset, just ahead of two major catalysts: 1️⃣ US Non-Farm Payrolls (May edition) 2️⃣ White House remarks on tariffs and trade strategy These two factors will likely define gold’s direction heading into next week — either toward deeper support zones or a potential recovery rally into resistance. 📊 DXY & Macro Market Lens The US Dollar Index (DXY) has bounced off its base near 98.xx, currently testing the 100.00 level. Whether the dollar strengthens further depends largely on today’s labour data and fiscal signals from Washington. Traders should remain tactically neutral, relying on intraday timeframes like H1/H2 and respecting key price structure. 🔺 Key Resistance Levels 3,260 3,275 3,285 3,312 🔻 Key Support Levels 3,244 3,230 3,215 3,200 🎯 Trade Plan – Friday 3rd May, 2025 🔵 BUY ZONE A: Entry: 3,232 – 3,230 SL: 3,226 TP: 3,236 → 3,240 → 3,244 → 3,248 → 3,252 → 3,256 → 3,260 🔵 BUY ZONE B: Entry: 3,214 – 3,212 SL: 3,208 TP: 3,218 → 3,222 → 3,226 → 3,230 → 3,235 → 3,240 🔴 SELL ZONE: Entry: 3,276 – 3,278 SL: 3,282 TP: 3,272 → 3,268 → 3,264 → 3,260 → 3,250 ⚠️ Final Notes Volatility may spike sharply during the NY session as NFP and political news collide. This is the kind of session where traders can either capitalize massively or get caught offside — stay disciplined. Avoid emotional entries — let price come to you, wait for confirmation, and stick to your TP/SL. 📣 Conclusion We’re likely in a calm-before-the-storm scenario. Gold hasn’t made its real move yet — but when it does, it’ll be swift. Prepare. Execute. Protect your capital.

Gold Price Analysis May 2D1 frame confirms closing below the disputed zone showing the downtrend continues to extend in the following days The recovery in the Asian and European sessions can be a stepping stone for a decrease in the US session. Sellers are waiting for high price zones and old breakout zones to sell their goods. The 3271-3273 zone plays an important role in the bearish structure as long as this zone is held by the sellers, the possibility of a price increase is relatively low. The barrier in the Asian session around 3257 will be where we consider the trading strategy. If the European session breaks this zone, we can buy at the target of 3271-3273. If the US session does not break this zone, SELL breaks it, the downtrend structure is broken and holds the BUY order until 3299. The daily resistance zone will be 3312. When 3371 is not broken, SELL and this is a good Swing signal to 3200. The possibility of a strong sell-off after Nonfarm is also understandable. Strategy: If it does not break 3257 but falls, wait for the reaction at the border of 3243. When this zone is broken, the trend is broken, then we only SELL. If it increases from 3243, then maintain the above strategy with a better entry.

Gold Trends and Analysis Before NFP Release📰 Analysis of Gold's News Background 👉 Join in During the US trading session on Thursday (May 1st), spot gold continued its downward trend, hovering around $3,216.55 per ounce, with a decline of approximately 0.4%. It had already fallen for two consecutive days before that. On Wednesday, it even reached $3,267.07, getting close to the key support level of $3,265, which was set last week. The market's bull-bear tug-of-war stems from the divergence in expectations of the Federal Reserve's policies: The weak US economic data has boosted the expectation of an interest rate cut, but the rebound of the US dollar index and US Treasury yields has suppressed the safe-haven nature of gold. ⚠️ Key Focuses for the Day 👉 Join in Pay attention to the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision, the data on job cuts by US enterprises in April, the final value of the manufacturing PMI, and the number of initial jobless claims. Also, keep an eye on geopolitical and trade dynamics! 📈 Quick Look at the Technical Analysis of Gold On the eve of the Nonfarm Payrolls report, how should we choose between going long and short on gold? 🔹 Daily Chart: Closed lower with a medium-sized bearish candlestick.

Gold Price Analysis May 1The D1 candle has broken out in a bearish direction. It is not surprising that the price broke Dow and decreased according to yesterday's Plan. Gold confirmed the selling side won, so today's strategy is to watch for SELL. The SELL point pays attention to the 2 break zones of 3270 and 3302. The BUY point with the Scalping element pays attention to 3216 and today's main support is 3195. The current trading strategy is that gold is approaching the 3237 resistance. If it confirms closing above this zone, it will give a BUY signal to 3251 and consider the price reaction of the US session. If it breaks 3241, it will hold until 3270. On the contrary, if it does not break 3237, it can SELL to 3216 and trade according to the noted port zones.

Try going long gold in small batchesFundamentals: Focus on US economic data and Fed dynamics; Technical aspects: Gold continues to fall and is currently testing the 3200 mark. It is undeniable that gold is currently in a clear bearish trend, and the foreseeable area below is the 3185-3175 area, which is a strong support in the short term. However, the long and short sides are currently wrestling at the 3200 mark, and I think there will still be repetitions in the short term. So gold should rebound before falling to the 3185-3175 area. Trading strategy: Consider trying to go long on gold in small batches in the 3210-3200 area, TP: 3220-3230. Please note: In order to protect the security of the account, as gold rebounds, you can consider gradually moving up the SL to ensure profits.

The latest trend of the gold market and operation suggestionsAt present, on the daily chart, gold closed with a medium-sized bearish candle. In the early trading session, it directly broke below the crucial defensive level of 3,370, thoroughly opening up the adjustment range. Meanwhile, it triggered the MACD indicator to form a death cross. Now that the gold price has reached a new low, the dominant strategy for the early trading session is still to sell on rallies. On the 4-hour chart, in today's early trading session, the price directly broke down and smoothly pierced through the support area ranging from 3,270 to 3,260, realizing the transformation between the top and the bottom. At the 1-hour level, not only has it broken below the previous low of 3,260, but the moving averages have also formed a death cross, indicating strong bearish momentum. It is advisable to sell decisively when the gold price rebounds to around 3,270, which is the densely traded area at the lower part of the recent box consolidation. If the rebound fails to even reach the vicinity of 3,260, in an extremely bearish market situation, the downward space for the gold price will be further expanded. Overall, for short-term trading of gold, the operation strategy should mainly focus on selling on rallies, supplemented by taking light long positions on pullbacks. Pay close attention to the resistance range from 3,235 to 3,245 on the upside, and closely monitor the support levels from 3,200 to 3,190 on the downside. XAUUSD sell@3225-3230 tp:3210-3200 Investment itself is not risky; it is only when investment is out of control that risks occur. When trading, always remember not to act on impulse. I will share trading signals every day. All the signals have been accurate without any mistakes for a whole month. No matter what gains or losses you've had in the past, with my help, you have the hope of achieving a breakthrough in your investment.

Gold plummeted as expected. Operation strategy?In my last analysis, Quaid predicted that gold was at risk of falling and breaking. Quaid promptly told everyone that they could short trade at 3310-3320. At present, the market situation is basically consistent with Quaid's expectations. As of now, gold has fallen to a low point near 3215. And it has been maintained for some time. Quaid speculates that gold will continue to maintain a bearish trend and continue to retreat. Quaid data analysis: From the hourly chart, gold is currently following a wave trend, and the highest point of 3352 is the starting point of wave A. The high point of wave b is at 3320. If the current 3220 is the beginning of the low point of wave C, then be careful of its continued decline. Trading strategy: In terms of the next operation, Quaid suggests waiting for short trading near 3225. If gold falls below 3210 again, then the bottom can directly look towards the 3190-3200 range. Quaid warned everyone not to think that the trading range is very large; because the trading markets in some Asian countries are closed, any terrible thing could happen. It is recommended that everyone take profits in time.

Gold trading ideas after key data releaseOn the news front, the US April ISM manufacturing PMI was higher than expected, which led to the US Treasury bonds giving up their gains. From a technical analysis point of view, after the gold price fell out of the strong support of 3260 in the shock range, this position turned into the short-term resistance level for our short-term reference, followed by the position of multiple entity K-lines at the hourly level of 3275. There is a possibility of breaking through 3260 in the later period, so 3275 can also be treated as a defensive position. Although the price of gold has been hovering around 3220, our main bearish direction remains unchanged in the short term. The trading strategy given in the afternoon is still a reference. For rebound, first focus on the 3240-3250 first-line resistance, and further look at the top-bottom transition position of 3260-3270. You can participate in transactions in small batches. Below, focus on the 3210-3200 support, and if it falls below, look for the 3193 first-line. TVC:GOLD FOREXCOM:XAUUSD FXOPEN:XAUUSD FX:XAUUSD OANDA:XAUUSD

XAUUSD is expected to fall further.After a night of trend changes, XAUUSD has reached 3225. This is consistent with my prediction this week, and the direction is also consistent. In terms of operations, most of the orders are short-selling. This allows us to seize the opportunity to make money by shorting XAUUSD in the market. BTCUSD also successfully reached 95,000 after a small correction, which is very critical for buying at a low level to make a profit. The three-year-long Russian-Ukrainian situation may end If this "farce" is declared over, XAUUSD will fall at a faster rate. Currently in a downward trend, XAUUSD needs to focus on the opportunity to sell after the rebound. 3273-3255. The target is 3200 first. If it breaks through sharply, it can be considered to reach 3170. There are risks in trading. Remember to proceed with caution. If you don't know how to trade. Follow me.

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. 💰Strategy Package Short position: Actively participate at 3230 points, and the profit target is around 3200 points ⭐️ Note: Labaron hopes that traders can properly manage their funds - Choose the number of lots that matches your funds - Profit is 4-7% of the capital account - Stop loss is 1-3% of the capital account

The most fundamental trading logic of XAUUSD.From the trend of XAUUSD, it is still mainly selling. Trading logic, the current geopolitical situation has eased, which is the biggest negative news for xauusd. Tariffs have eased. In other words, selling pressure exceeds demand. So continue to sell at the current price of 3230-3220. The target is below 3200. Always remind trading risks. So don't ignore this. If you don't know how to trade. Remember to wait and see. Don't trade blindly or gamble. Many investor friends know that I have led some investors to create good profits for several consecutive days. If you don't know how to trade, remember to leave me a message and try it. Maybe your profit will double.

The short position continues to approach the expected point📌Fundamentals: From the news perspective: the United States released a trade agreement and tariff reduction signal, the trade situation eased, resulting in a decline in market demand for safe-haven assets, triggering a sell-off in gold; the situation between Russia and Ukraine weakened, and the dawn of peace talks was approaching, which was a negative factor for gold; at the same time, the situation between India and Pakistan heated up, which supported the gold price to a certain extent. 📊Technical aspects: In the past few days, we have been emphasizing that gold should be bearish, and reminded that gold is likely to break and fall sharply. From a technical perspective: the lower track of the Bollinger band at the 4-hour level broke through, and there was no sign of stabilization. The support of $3,250/ounce turned into pressure, the downward channel has been opened, and MACD has walked out of the hovering area, and the downward momentum has been strengthened; at the daily level, the MACD indicator is dead cross running, and the KDJ indicator enters the oversold area, showing that the short-selling force has an absolute advantage. The short-term short-selling force of spot gold is strong, and the gold price is in a downward trend. Before there is an obvious reversal signal, the short-term trend is still bearish. 🎯Practical strategy: Recommendation to short on rebound: short around 3235-3245, target 3220-3200.

Gold's evening rebound continues to be bearishAffected by the initial jobless claims data, gold has rebounded and risen again to around 3220 after touching around 3203. As we mentioned in the previous trading idea, short selling is still our main trading method before there is a big data impact. For the time being, we will first look at the first-line resistance of 3240-3250. If it breaks through this resistance range, we will further look at the key resistance of 3260-3270. If it does not break, we will go short. There is an obvious downhill trend in the weekly line, which is expected to form a continuous negative trend. Then we look to the 3210-3200 support level to remain unchanged, and may even continue to look to the early low support line of 3193. SELL 3240-3250 TP 3210-3200 Many friends who have read my posts have reported that my trading ideas and strategies are very helpful to them. I always firmly believe that profitability is the criterion for measuring strength, and seizing the opportunity is the key to victory.

5/1 Gold Trading SignalsGold failed to show a decisive move yesterday as expected, and the market continues to trade within a tight range between 3260 and 3300, resulting in limited profit opportunities. As of this update, price remains in sideways consolidation, with 3260 having been tested for the fifth time, indicating that this support level may be weakening. 🔍 Technical Outlook: Given that current price levels are closer to the 3220 key support zone, it's more likely that the market will dip lower to test support before any meaningful rebound. The inability to break above 3300 strengthens the case for a near-term bearish move. ✅ Trading Recommendations for Today: 🔻 Sell Zone (Short Entries): 3310–3330 🔺 Buy Zone (Long Entries): 3230–3200 ⚠️ Manage position sizes carefully, and wait for confirmation of support before committing to larger entries.
