Gold 3030 line still needs to be shortedThe weekly closing line is mediocre, with shadows but not long, indicating that the short momentum above is not strong. The same is true for the daily line, with a long lower shadow pattern, which offsets the original strong downward pressure of the evening star, causing some participants to start to tangle. The market is likely to sweep up and down at the beginning of the week, and oscillate to measure the strength of the ups and downs. Note that if gold refreshes the 3,000 low this week, gold is expected to fall back to the 2957-65 top and bottom conversion position this week. The gold 1-hour moving average has begun to turn downward, and is about to cross downward. If the gold 1-hour moving average crosses downward to form a dead cross short arrangement, then the gold downside may open up. The gold 1-hour moving average resistance has now moved down to around 3035. So the gold 1-hour will continue to be short at highs despite the pressure at 3035 in the early trading. The gold 1-hour high has formed a head and shoulders top structure. As long as the gold bulls cannot break through the new high again, the gold 1-hour is in the process of building a high top. In addition, the opening of this week continued the weak adjustment of last week. Today, as in the weekly review, it is still bearish and retracement. For shocks, prices fluctuate, and it is difficult for us to think unilaterally. It depends on which side you grab. The upper resistance focuses on the early high of 3026, and the second is the opening point of last week at 3035! In the short term, all the divergences and indicators on the gold hourly chart have been corrected. Now it is correcting after oversold, which resonates with the big cycle. Pay attention to the continuous pull-down of the high point during the day, which resonates with the Bollinger Bands. Gold rebounds to 3025-30 short, stop loss at 3035, target 3010-05.

Gold Accurate SignalsTechnical analysis of gold: From the technical point of view, gold has retreated for three consecutive days, which is somewhat special in the previous crazy continuous rise. Usually, the negative line in the daily continuous rise, as long as the European session is resistant to the decline, sell short before the US session, and the watershed morning high point, usually the US session will rely on the previous day's low point to make a watershed stop loss, and according to the technical form, the rhythm of the daily line is destroyed. Whether it can bottom out and rebound today still needs to be observed! Today, the gold price opened near the short-term moving average MA10, and the short-term moving average MA5 began to turn downward. After yesterday's market surged, it was blocked near the MA5 moving average and began to fall. Today, we need to focus on the resistance formed by the MA5 moving average. If the gold price falls below yesterday's low of 3002, then we can continue to follow the short trend and look down. Focus on the upper side of the row pressure level of 3028 at the end of yesterday's trading, and participate in short orders during the day at this position. Gold 4-hour chart relies on the middle track of the Bollinger Bands to rebound. The middle track is the short-term strength and weakness distinction point. In the adjustment trend, the weakness is below the middle track. It is also a distinction point, combined with the hourly chart above. In the step-down shock, although the rebound yesterday was slightly higher than the 3033 line, it was still running below the second highest point of 3038 as a whole, a complete step adjustment trend. The second highest point is not lost, the trend is not changed, and today's operation relies on the 3033 high point as a defense to continue to follow the trend and fall back. The low point of 2020-2026 is still a resistance point. After the short position of 2028 was reduced yesterday, the bottom position continued to break the 3000 small band. Short positions rebounded slightly today near 2020-2023 and continued to short. Defense at 3033 is enough. The target is to reduce the position and then leave the bottom position to look down at 2990-2980. The space depends on the shape. As long as it closes at a low level, the adjustment space will be further deepened the next day. On the whole, I suggest that the short-term operation strategy for gold today is mainly short-selling on rebounds, supplemented by long positions on pullbacks. The short-term focus on the upper side is the 3020-3025 line of resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 2999-2980 line of support. Short order strategy: Strategy 1: Short (buy short) 20% of the position in batches when gold rebounds around 3020-3023, stop loss at 3055, target around 3010-3000, break to target 2890 Long order strategy: Strategy 2: When gold falls back to around 2990-2993, buy long positions in batches (buy up) with 20% of the position, stop loss 8 points, target around 3000-3005, break the position and look at 3010

Latest gold trend analysisGold fell by $57 from 3057-3000 at the end of last week. It fluctuated downward yesterday, and the daily line closed negatively, touching the short-term moving average. From the perspective of bull correction, the adjustment has not yet been completed, and there is still a possibility of further decline. The probability of breaking the 3000 mark is very high. However, the current market has entered a period of volatility, and the long continuity is very poor. It fluctuated upward during the day yesterday, and only began to fall in the evening, closing at a low in the early morning. The overall trend is still a volatile trend. This morning, the bottom was hit and rebounded, and the price broke through the high of 3014 in the early morning, but it is not recommended to chase blindly. Focus on the trend of the European session. If the European session goes up, it will be regarded as a shock in the evening. If the upper pressure is touched at 3035-3038, you can go short. However, if the European session falls and breaks below 3007, then today will be a bearish trend, and the 3000 mark will also be lost. Be careful not to repeat yesterday's trend today, so you must pay attention to the rhythm of the European session. If it fluctuates upward, you can still go high in the evening. Therefore, in general, gold is still expected to fluctuate today. Pay attention to the pressure of 3035-3038 on the upper side, and the support below is 3007-3002. Pay attention to the watershed position. In terms of trading, yesterday Monday did not continue the bearish view on Friday, but chose to buy more near 3010, but the market failed to give it. At noon, it was aggressively long at 3017, and the European session stopped profit at 3029, winning 12 US dollars; it fluctuated upward during the day, and stepped back to 3017 twice in the evening. The retracement of the US session was too large, and the stop loss was exited at 3014 before the break, losing 3 US dollars; two orders earned 9 US dollars.

The day's rebound is mainly highAt present, the gold market has been fluctuating in the range for some time, and the market has not made a directional choice, which means that the gold price will continue to fluctuate during the day, and it is a downward flag adjustment range. For our operation layout, we should keep high-altitude and low-multiple in the range. In the oscillating market, we mainly focus on the recent direction. It is obvious that it is a short-selling oscillation after the top falls. In the range, high-altitude and low-multiple are the first to focus on the opportunity of shorting. In this market at noon, we still need to continue to wait for the opportunity to short. From the four-hour trend, the upper pressure is focused on the 3036 line, and the lower support is near the support level of 3010! Gold operation suggestions: short near 3032-3036, stop loss 3042, target 3015

Evening gold analysis and operationTechnical analysis of gold: Gold rebounded to around 3031 yesterday and then began to retreat. It continued to rebound after touching the lowest level of 3012 in the US market, and the daily line closed in the form of a negative cross star. After opening in the morning, it has been rising all the way and has now reached above 3030 again, continuing to approach the previous high of around 3036-38. In the short term, it is very likely to form a range of shocks again, and this position may also be the position of the high suppression port in the near future, and it is also the ideal point for short positions. Once this position continues If the pressure is effective, a falling pattern is likely to be formed, which may also be the last wave of bullish pullback, and the support below will continue to be maintained near yesterday's low of 3012, which will also be the last line of defense for the bulls. Although the bulls seem strong at present, the pressure from above is self-evident. The market is often the same. What seems strong may not be strong, but just a confusing behavior to lure more. In the morning, I repeatedly emphasized that the key pressure level of gold is 3036, so I gave the idea of ​​shorting at 3036 in the morning, and I am still making a profit. Gold continued to fluctuate in a large range in the one-hour period. Before there is a trend breakthrough, gold will continue to fluctuate. Gold is under pressure at high levels and is still mainly short at high levels. After all, the overall strength of the bullish rebound is still weak. The high point of the gold bullish rebound has begun to decline, and the low point of the oscillation has also begun to decline. Then the overall situation is still a bearish oscillation. We should first arrange short orders around this position and wait to see the strength of the European session. If the European session continues to break upward, the bulls are likely to pull up again. On the contrary, the current high is likely to be generated. In this case, gold will first short near 3036-38 during the day, and the target will be near 3015-10. On the whole, today's short-term operation strategy for gold is to mainly short on rebounds and long on pullbacks. The short-term focus on the upper side is the 3036-3038 resistance line, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 3010-3012 support line. Strategy 1: When gold rebounds to around 3036-3038, short sell (buy short) in batches, 20% of the position, stop loss at 3055, target around 3020-3015, break to target 3010 Strategy 2: When gold falls back to around 3010-3012, buy two-tenths of the position in batches, stop loss 8 points, target around 3020-3025, and look at 3030 if it breaks

Gold Bullish Frenzy? Watch for Reversal SignalsAt present, it seems that the situation for the bulls is promising. However, the market is not necessarily so. This kind of behavior to induce more long positions is quite normal in the market. Market makers often operate in a strategic way. After they have reaped the profits from the bulls, it's highly likely that the next target will be the bears. Looking at the gold market specifically, the price of gold is currently at a high level and is bound to decline. This frenzied bullish trend simply cannot be sustained, and this is an inevitable outcome. The current gold price has seriously deviated from its normal track. One could even say that it has completely derailed or "strayed from the norm". Such a situation is clearly unreasonable, and a return to a reasonable level is inevitable. I will share trading signals every day. All the signals have been accurate for a whole month in a row. If you also need them, please click on the link below the article to obtain them.

Gold (XAU/USD) Technical Analysis – Next Week Big Move?The daily chart of Gold Spot (XAU/USD) presents a well-structured triangle pattern breakout, a strong uptrend, and a critical resistance zone near all-time highs (ATH). The price action suggests that gold is in a bullish phase but approaching a key decision point where it could either break higher or face a temporary pullback. This analysis provides a detailed breakdown of the pattern, key levels, potential scenarios, and trading strategies for the coming week. 1. Technical Chart Breakdown A. Triangle Pattern Breakout (Bullish Continuation) The chart shows a symmetrical triangle formation, which typically signals a consolidation phase before a major price movement. After a period of accumulation within the triangle, gold broke out upwards, confirming a bullish continuation pattern. This breakout was supported by strong volume and buying pressure, reinforcing the trend strength. B. Trendline & Support Levels (Key Areas for Buyers) A rising trendline has been acting as dynamic support, confirming that the market remains in a bullish structure. Major Support Levels: $3,000 – A psychological support level that may act as a bounce zone in case of rejection at resistance. $2,885 – A well-defined horizontal support level, previously tested multiple times. If the price falls below $2,885, it could signal a trend reversal or a deeper correction. 2. Key Price Levels & Market Sentiment A. Resistance & Target Levels (Where Sellers Might Step In) Primary Resistance Zone: $3,137 - $3,150 This level represents a combination of all-time high (ATH), historical resistance, and a key breakout target. If the price breaks and holds above this zone, it could trigger further upside towards $3,200 - $3,250. However, if sellers dominate at this level, a pullback or correction could occur. B. Stop-Loss & Risk Management Considerations Traders should be cautious around the resistance zone and place stop-loss levels strategically to manage risk. Stop-Loss Suggestions: For Long Trades: Below $3,000 (to protect against fake breakouts). For Short Trades: Above $3,150 (if price rejects resistance and starts a reversal). 3. Trading Strategy for Next Week Scenario 1: Bullish Breakout & Continuation If gold breaks and sustains above $3,137, it will confirm a bullish continuation. Entry Strategy: Look for a retest of the breakout level ($3,100 - $3,137) before entering long positions. Profit Targets: First Target: $3,200 Second Target: $3,250+ Stop-Loss: Below $3,000, to protect against sudden reversals. Scenario 2: Rejection at Resistance & Pullback If gold fails to break $3,137 and forms a bearish rejection candle, it may indicate a short-term pullback. Short Entry Strategy: Wait for confirmation of rejection with bearish price action signals (e.g., bearish engulfing, long upper wick). Downside Targets: First Target: $3,000 Second Target: $2,885 (major support) Stop-Loss: Above $3,150, to avoid being trapped in a false breakdown. Scenario 3: Bearish Reversal (Break Below $2,885) If gold falls below $2,885, it could signal a potential trend reversal. Short Trade Setup: Enter below $2,885, targeting $2,800 - $2,750 in the medium term. Stop-Loss: Above $2,900, in case of a false breakdown. 4. Indicators & Confirmation Signals A. Volume & Candlestick Patterns Watch for high volume during breakouts to confirm strength. Candlestick patterns such as bullish engulfing, hammer (for support bounces), or shooting star (for resistance rejection) can provide strong confirmation signals. B. RSI (Relative Strength Index) & Overbought Conditions If RSI is above 70, it could indicate that gold is overbought, increasing the likelihood of a pullback. If RSI stays above 50 but below 70, it confirms bullish strength. C. Moving Averages for Trend Confirmation 50-day and 200-day moving averages can act as additional support and resistance zones. If the price is above both moving averages, it confirms the bullish trend. 5. Conclusion – What to Watch for Next Week? ✅ If price breaks and holds above $3,137 → Expect continuation towards $3,200 - $3,250. ✅ If price rejects at $3,137 → Watch for a pullback towards $3,000 or $2,885 for re-entry. ✅ If price drops below $2,885 → Expect deeper correction with a shift in trend structure. 📌 Key Takeaway: Gold remains bullish, but traders should watch the resistance level at $3,137 closely for confirmation of a breakout or a possible reversal. Risk management is crucial in case of unexpected market shifts. Would you like me to add more insights using Fibonacci levels or historical trends? 📊🚀

GOLD Long opportunity from 3,050 or 3,020 back to ATH'sThis week, my outlook on gold remains strongly bullish. Price has once again reached its all-time high (ATH) and broken structure to the upside, leaving behind new demand zones that present potential buying opportunities. The first key area of interest is the nearby 6-hour demand zone. While not the most ideal setup, I will be monitoring how price reacts once it mitigates this level. Additionally, there is a 15-hour demand zone positioned lower, offering a more favorable entry at a discounted price. This zone was responsible for the break of structure to the upside, making it a strong area of interest. If price reaches this level, I expect a slowdown followed by a buildup of bullish momentum. Confluences for XAU/USD Buys: Price has broken structure to the upside on the higher timeframes. Clean 6-hour and 15-hour demand zones remain unmitigated. Gold has been consistently bullish across both lower and higher timeframes. DXY is trending bearish, reinforcing gold’s bullish bias due to their inverse correlation. Note: There is some liquidity resting below in the form of an equal low and a small trendline. I will wait for confirmation in these areas before making any decisions.

Sell@3080Today, the XAUUSD market is mired in extraordinary volatility. The uptrend in prices has continued unabated, with values rocketing to $3086. This powerful rally has inflicted heavy losses on bearish traders, leading to a mass liquidation of their positions. Currently, the market is in a “double - whammy” situation, where both bulls and bears are feeling the pinch. This is the result of large - scale capital inflows. Savvy institutional investors and market players are deploying capital strategically, aiming to maximize profits. Despite this current upward surge, we remain steadfast in our bearish outlook. Our in - depth analysis of multiple factors—including long - term economic trends, geopolitical developments, and technical indicators—reinforces our conviction. Many fundamental indicators suggest that the current rally is likely a short - lived market aberration. As the market continues to digest various macroeconomic data, we anticipate downward pressure to build, eventually reversing the current upward trend. 💎💎💎 XAUUSD 💎💎💎 🎁 Sell@3085 - 3080 🎁 TP 3040 3030 3020 3010 3000 The market has been extremely volatile lately.

Gold breaks high strongly, how much room is there for the bulls?Gold broke through the high and headed straight for 3100, reaching a high of 3087! This wave of rise was frequent with long and short positions. First, it fluctuated back and forth between 3000 and 3038, and neither long nor short positions continued. It broke through the oscillation range strongly, and the price approached the previous high of 3057. Operation suggestions: 3068 and 3062, it is better to be more cautious and look at 3062. The watershed is 3054, and the upper pressure is 3080-3100. When it touches 3100 for the first time, you can try shorting.

Price has met expectations and analysis by printing a further bullish iBOS, however, pullback was minimal and with price not trading down to either discount of 50% EQ or Daily/H4 demand zone. I will therefore, at present, not classify this as a bullish iBOS in order not to distort internal range Intraday Expectation: Price to print bearish CHoCH to indicate, bnut not confirm bearish pullback phase initiaiton. Price to then trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or nested Daily and H4 demand levels before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,086.090. Alternative scenario: Price could potentially continue to print higher. Note: With the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and persisting geopolitical uncertainties, heightened volatility in Gold is expected to continue. Traders should proceed with caution and adjust risk management strategies in this high-volatility environment. Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty. H4 Chart: M15 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Analysis and bias was not met with pricing printing a bullish iBOS. Price has printed a bearish CHoCH to indicate bearish pullback phase initiation.

Gold (XAUUSD) Short Setup: Bearish Confirmation & Key TP LevelsThe chart suggests that gold (XAUUSD) is approaching a key resistance level near 3,102, aligning with a trendline. The price has formed a weak high, indicating potential exhaustion. A bearish confirmation at this level could lead to a decline toward the target zone around 3,037. If the price fails to break lower, further bullish momentum may push it beyond resistance. Watch for a break of structure (BOS) and bearish signals before confirming a short position. 1. First TP: 3,060 – A minor support level before the main target. 2. Second TP: 3,037 – A stronger support zone and key target. These levels provide a safe exit strategy for a short trade while minimizing risk. Watch for price action confirmation before executing.

Gold Price Hits Record HighGold Price Hits Record High On 19 March, we reported that gold had surpassed $3,000 per ounce for the first time in history and suggested this psychological level could be tested. As shown on the XAU/USD chart, the price briefly dipped below $3,000 but quickly rebounded. According to the Smart Money Concept methodology, this may have been a liquidity sweep triggered by stop-loss orders placed below the key level. Regardless, the test occurred (as indicated by the arrow), and the bulls resumed the rally. The new all-time high is now around $3,080 and could be broken again today. Why Is Gold Rising? ➝ Uncertainty over Trump’s tariff plans ➝ Expectations of lower interest rates Gold is traditionally seen as a hedge against economic and political uncertainty and tends to perform well in a low-rate environment. Analysts at Goldman Sachs have raised their year-end 2025 gold price forecast to $3,300. Technical Analysis of XAU/USD ➝ Looking at gold’s broader trend, price movements continue to follow an upward channel (marked in blue), which has remained relevant since early 2025. ➝ Alternatively, a second, less steep ascending channel (marked in purple) suggests that gold is currently near its upper boundary, indicating a possible pullback. However, the $3,056 level—previously resistance—could now act as support, paving the way for a move towards the next milestone at $3,100.

Gold Price Analysis March 28Fundamental Analysis Gold (XAU/USD) continued its upward trend, hitting a record high of $3,086 during the European session on Friday. Global risk sentiment weakened due to concerns over US President Donald Trump's auto tariffs and uncertainty over upcoming tariffs, boosting safe-haven demand for gold. In addition, expectations of an early Fed rate cut due to concerns over Trump's trade policies affecting US economic growth also supported gold's gains. Although the USD recovered slightly ahead of the US personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index report, this did not reduce the appeal of XAU/USD. Technical Analysis Gold is quite difficult to trade around the ATH zone today. Note that the lower boundary zone of 3060 is converging with the EMA 34 zone and the SELL zone around the 3100 round-trip barrier. The basic trading strategy requires your patience as the market is not easy to trade at the moment.

Gold (XAU/USD) – Triangle Breakout & Bullish Trade Setup Overview This 1-hour Gold Spot (XAU/USD) chart showcases a well-defined symmetrical triangle pattern, which has successfully broken out to the upside. This breakout indicates strong bullish momentum, setting up a potential rally towards $3,107 and beyond. The analysis below will cover: ✅ Triangle Pattern Formation & Breakout Explanation ✅ Key Technical Levels (Support, Resistance, ATH) ✅ Entry, Stop Loss, & Take Profit Strategies ✅ Risk Management Considerations ✅ Final Trade Setup & Market Sentiment Let’s dive into the details. 1️⃣ Chart Pattern: Symmetrical Triangle Formation What is a Symmetrical Triangle? A symmetrical triangle is a common continuation pattern in technical analysis that forms when price consolidates within two converging trendlines. This structure indicates a period of indecision in the market before a potential breakout occurs. When price breaks above the upper trendline, it signals a bullish continuation. If price breaks below the lower trendline, it suggests a bearish move. In this case, gold has broken above the upper resistance trendline, signaling a continuation of the existing uptrend. Pattern Breakdown (Step by Step): Triangle Formation: The price made higher lows and lower highs, compressing within the pattern. Price Squeeze: As the market approached the apex of the triangle, volatility decreased, indicating an imminent breakout. Breakout Confirmation: A strong bullish candle closed above the resistance trendline, validating the pattern and confirming bullish momentum. 2️⃣ Key Technical Levels & Zones 🔹 Support & Resistance Zones: Support Level: $3,012 - $3,020 (Highlighted as a strong demand zone where buyers stepped in). Resistance Level: $3,080 (Previously acted as strong resistance but has now turned into support post-breakout). All-Time High (ATH): Marked just below $3,090, where price previously struggled to break through. 🔸 Breakout Target & Price Projection Breakout Level: The breakout happened above $3,080, confirming an uptrend continuation. Target Calculation: The height of the triangle is projected upwards from the breakout point. This gives us a price target of $3,107 - $3,120 in the short term. 3️⃣ Trading Strategy Based on Breakout ✅ Entry Strategy: Aggressive Entry: Entering immediately after the breakout candle closes above $3,080, riding the momentum. Conservative Entry: Waiting for a potential pullback to $3,080 (now acting as support) before entering a long position. ⛔ Stop Loss Placement: Ideal Stop Loss: Below the previous support zone at $3,012, ensuring protection against fake breakouts. Tighter Stop Loss: Just below the breakout point at $3,065, in case of a minor retracement before moving higher. 🎯 Profit Target Strategy: Short-Term Target: $3,107, based on the triangle’s measured move. Extended Target: If momentum sustains, $3,120+ could be achieved, aligning with previous bullish trends. 4️⃣ Risk Management & Market Considerations Risk Factors to Monitor: 🔸 Volume Confirmation: A breakout with high trading volume is a stronger signal than one with low volume. 🔸 Market Fundamentals: Events like US inflation data, Federal Reserve rate decisions, and geopolitical tensions can impact gold prices. 🔸 False Breakout Risk: If price falls back below $3,080, the breakout might be invalid, signaling a potential reversal. Risk-Reward Ratio: 📌 Entry: $3,080 📌 Stop Loss: $3,012 (Approx. 68 points risk) 📌 Target: $3,107 - $3,120 (Approx. 27-40 points reward) 📌 Risk-to-Reward Ratio: 2:1+, making this a favorable trade setup. 5️⃣ Market Sentiment & Final Trade Setup 📈 Bullish Outlook: The successful breakout above the symmetrical triangle signals continued bullish strength. Price is holding above the previous resistance zone at $3,080, now acting as support. The next resistance target is $3,107 - $3,120, aligning with previous swing highs. 🔴 Bearish Scenario (If Invalidated): If price falls back below $3,080, it could indicate a false breakout. A break below $3,065 might lead to a retest of the $3,012 support zone. 📊 Final Trading Plan: ✅ Buy (Long) at: $3,080 - $3,085 🎯 Target 1: $3,107 🎯 Target 2: $3,120+ (Extended Target) ⛔ Stop Loss: $3,012 🔥 Conclusion: Bullish Bias with Caution Gold (XAU/USD) has successfully broken out of the symmetrical triangle, signaling a strong bullish continuation. As long as price holds above $3,080, the bias remains bullish, targeting $3,107 - $3,120. 💡 Key Takeaway: Watch for a pullback and retest of $3,080 before entering, ensuring confirmation before committing to the trade. 🚀 Final Outlook: Bullish – Gold is positioned for further upside if momentum continues!
