GOLD outlook for the weekIn today’s analysis, I’m expecting price to continue its bullish momentum, partially influenced by recent political developments surrounding Donald Trump. This aligns well with the broader higher time frame trend, where we’ve been favouring long setups. To capitalise, the most immediate and valid point of interest I’ve marked out is the 9H demand zone — the origin of the most recent break of structure. If price retraces, this is where I’ll be watching for bullish confirmation. However, if price continues to climb without retracing first, we could see a temporary bearish reaction from the nearby 4H supply zone around the 3,400 level. If this happens, I may look for a short-term countertrend sell setup, but only with strong confirmation. Risk will be kept low and I won’t be overly ambitious with targets. Confluences for GOLD Buys: Strong bullish momentum following a clear CHoCH on the higher time frame Recent break of structure left behind a clean 9H demand zone for potential retracement Trend remains bullish on both the lower and higher time frames Liquidity resting above still yet to be swept DXY is currently bearish, supporting a bullish case for gold P.S. While we could see a minor sell opportunity down to the demand zone, patience is key. Waiting for a solid pre-trend setup is part of the process — no need to rush entries. Have a great trading week and stay sharp!

Buying on pullbacks remains the main theme!Tariff turmoil resurfaces, gold price jumps! The Trump administration once again wields the tariff stick, threatening to impose a 50% tariff on the EU from June 1, and saying that there has been no progress in the negotiations between the US and the EU. Because the timing of this threat is quite subtle. Just earlier this week, the EU just submitted a new framework proposal to the US to restart bilateral trade negotiations. This directly led to a jump in gold price tonight! Faced with the tough stance of the US, the EU is not sitting still. It is reported that the EU has formulated a contingency plan. If the negotiations fail, it will impose additional tariffs on US exports worth 95 billion euros in response to Trump's "reciprocal" taxation and 25% tariffs on cars and some parts, which will inevitably cause further impact on the market! The bulls are in control and are unwilling to give the bears too many opportunities to cover their losses. Therefore, the strategy of following the trend needs to be more active - strong markets usually do not experience a deep retracement, and the correction phase will not break the previous low for the second time. After the current gold price surged to 3365, the intraday bull defense position should be set at 3340. The previous low of 3320 has been effectively supported, and the bulls have taken the absolute initiative, and there will be no short-selling opportunities in the short term. Based on the current strong bullish performance, continuing to maintain a bullish mindset is the core of the transaction. Operation strategy: 1. Gold recommends going long in the 3340-3330 area, with a target of 3350-3360. 2. Gold recommends going short in the 3365-3375 area, with a target of 3350-3340.

Tariffs are on the rise again, gold is jumping.Information summary: The Trump administration has once again launched a tariff war, threatening to impose a 50% tariff on the EU from June 1, and said that the negotiations between the United States and the EU have made no progress. Because the timing of this threat is quite delicate. Just earlier this week, the EU just submitted a new framework proposal to the US to restart bilateral trade negotiations. This directly led to a jump in gold. Faced with the tough stance of the United States, the EU is not without countermeasures. It is reported that the EU has formulated a contingency plan. If the negotiations fail, it will impose additional tariffs on US exports worth 95 billion euros in response to Trump's "reciprocal" taxation and 25% tariffs on automobiles and some parts, which will inevitably cause further impact on the market. Market analysis: Today, the European session was under pressure at 3335 and the correction method was adopted. This correction method can better show that the price is strong, and the bulls are not willing to give the bears too many opportunities. Therefore, the layout should be aggressive. The stronger the market, the less likely it will fall back. At the same time, the correction of the strong market will definitely not break the low for the second time. Operation strategy: Short near 3375, stop loss at 3380, and target 3350-3340. The price fell back to around 3335, and we will adopt a long strategy based on the downward trend.

Gold Bounces Back – Is the Road to a New ATH Open Again?📈 Gold Back Above 3300 – Is the Correction Over? In yesterday’s analysis, I mentioned that Gold could start a correction from the strong confluence resistance zone and drop toward the 3260 area. While price briefly dipped below 3300, it quickly reversed above that level, showing that bulls remain in control. At the time of writing, Gold is trading at 3306, and the ascending trendline from 3120 is still intact. 📌 Key Zone Holding – Bullish Structure Intact The 3270–3280 area is now acting as a strong support, and yesterday’s price action could signal that the correction is already complete. If Gold breaks above the 3350–3360 resistance, it would not only confirm a short-term continuation, but could also mean that the entire one-month correction from 3500 is over — opening the door for a new all-time high in the medium term. 📊 Trading Plan: As long as 3260 holds, the bias remains bullish both in the short and medium term. Buying dips below 3300 could be a viable strategy while targeting a break above resistance.

Tariff threat. Gold prices rose sharply?Information summary: Gold prices climbed in the short term during trading after Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on the European Union, as this increased market uncertainty and increased demand for safe-haven assets. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he suggested a 50% tariff on the European Union starting June 1, and complained that trade negotiations were stalled. After the news came out, gold prices rose rapidly, breaking the $3,345 resistance level, but did not stabilize above the $3,365 resistance level I predicted in the morning; it reached a high of around $3,360 and then fell back slightly. I think the short-term gains have been too large, and if there is a rapid adjustment, the amplitude will also be large. Technical analysis: From the 4-hour chart, gold prices continue to trade above all moving averages, and the 20-day moving average has broken through the 100-day and 200-day period moving averages. At present, indicators show that the upward momentum is not very strong. If the price breaks through the 3365 resistance level strongly, it may hit the cycle high of around 3380. Because of the weekend, if the resistance level fails to be broken strongly, the price may adjust in the range of 3360-3330 US dollars, and a new trend needs to be found.

Trump triggers risk aversion, how to position gold?🗞News side: 1. Trump plans to impose a 50% tariff on the EU 2. Houthi armed forces strike Israel again 3. Pay attention to the impact of the US dollar trend on gold 📈Technical aspects: Trump is "crazy?" He suggested to impose a 50% tariff on the EU directly from June 1, and threatened to impose a 25% tariff on iPhones not produced locally. This news caused the euro, European stocks, and iPhone stock prices to plummet. At present, the gold price is consolidating between 3350 and 3360. For the US market, it is necessary to prevent a wash, but the short-term increase has been too large. If there is a rapid adjustment, the amplitude will also be large. Therefore, the US market is stuck in the range operation. Pay attention to the support of 3335-3325 below. If it continues to rise, pay attention to the resistance range of 3375-3385. If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

Gold fell back at night and continued to riseGold rose and fell, and stopped falling at the middle track again, indicating that the middle track can be used as a watershed in this cycle. If it runs above it, the volatility will be strong. In addition, the 618 division position 3317-18 line broke through again and stood above it. The short-term 5-day moving average support is 3315. Therefore, the 3315-3318 range is the first retracement to confirm the support point. If it stabilizes, it will further attack and point to the 786 division resistance 3370 line. Once the previous high of 3345 is broken, the corresponding MACD will enter a top divergence state. If it is further pulled up in the later period, we must be careful to prevent a high and fall. At the hourly gold line level, the US market was under pressure at 3315 overnight, with support at 3280-90, and repeated bottom shocks and consolidation. This morning, it was still running back and forth under the suppression of the middle track 3305, but the lows gradually moved up. Finally, under the continued weakness of the US dollar, the gold price finally stood on the middle track, and the direct positive strong force reached 3330. From overnight to this morning, it has been bullish and finally waited for a big profit. Then after the 3315 resistance is broken and stabilized, it will naturally become the top and bottom support. The 10-day moving average will move up and approach 3320, maintaining resistance to declines and still tending to further rise. Pay attention to the 3320-3315 support to stabilize and continue the bullish trend. The resistance target is 3370-3380; if it is unexpectedly effectively lost, pay attention to 3340.

3330 is in stalemate 3335 is the key to long and short positions🗞News side: 1. PMI and initial jobless claims data 2. Geopolitical situation 3. Progress of the G7 meeting 📈Technical aspects: Currently, the gold price is caught in a fierce battle between bulls and bears at the 3330 level. From a technical point of view, gold is still in the weekly level adjustment and no clear unilateral trend has emerged. Recently, there has been frequent changes in long and short positions, and the rise and fall of prices depends on the impact of news on the market. Even if gold experiences a correction at present, it is likely to be only a small range. Therefore, in the short term, attention should be paid to the resistance line of 3330-3335. If it breaks through, it is expected to look towards yesterday's high of 3345. If it encounters resistance and pressure at 3330-3335, it may retreat to 3310-3300 in the short term for correction. The upper strong pressure is still at 3350-3360, and the lower support of 3300-3290 is still strong. There is no good entry trading opportunity at present, so brothers should wait patiently. If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

Gold rose as expectedFrom a technical perspective, the daily line closed negative yesterday. After a series of positive lines, it generally means correction. After the negative line, it continues to rise. The closing line on Thursday is still above the middle track. The 5-day moving average crosses the 10-day moving average and adheres to the middle track at 3285. The 10-day moving average moves up to around 3253. The next wave of rise may go to the daily Bollinger upper track suppression point near 3400, so there is still a good space for the rise. In the 4-hour level, gold broke through the upper track yesterday and then stepped back, confirming the middle track support. At present, the Bollinger band is open, the moving average is still in a long position, and the cyclicality is still strong. The intraday support point is also the key point of strength and weakness at 3280. The short-term support is at the previous high of 3293. There are many intraday support levels for declines, and the upper 3315-3340-3365-3380-3400 is gradually looking up.

Will gold continue to rise? Be alert on Friday.On Thursday, the US dollar rebounded after three consecutive days of decline and once returned to above the 100 mark, but failed to stand firm here. It is still maintaining at the 100 mark for consolidation. Due to the strengthening of the US dollar, gold began to retreat after hitting a high of 3345 yesterday, and once lost the 3300 US dollar mark, with the lowest reaching around 3280. First of all, from the current 4-hour chart of gold: In the Asian session, the lowest gold touched around 3290, and then rebounded. As of now, the highest reached around 3330. At present, 3310 should be a relatively important support position for gold. If it can be maintained above 3310, then gold may continue to rise. It can also be seen from the figure that once it continues to rise, 3345 is likely to be refreshed, and the highest should be around 3360. From the 1-hour chart: 3280-3330 range, around 3310 is exactly the current 618 position. Therefore, if gold cannot pull back below 3310 again, it is highly likely that it will continue to reach a new high. Secondly, as time goes by, the early low of 3290 can no longer be touched, and the current support is already near 3300. That is to say, it cannot fall below 3300 again. Once it falls below 3300, gold will refresh the low of 3280 and continue to fall. Operation strategy: If it can retreat to 3310 and stabilize, then we will go long at 3310. On the contrary, if it falls below 3310, then we will focus on 3300. Once it falls below 3300, the trend will go down. Then you can short at 3290-3300, and the profit range is around the early intensive trading area of 3260-3250.

Gold Gearing Up for a Breakout – Bullish Setup on the 4H ChartI'm currently bullish on Gold (XAU/USD) in the short to medium term, based on the 4-hour chart structure and key technical levels. 🔍 Technical Breakdown ✅ Key Support Zone: Price recently respected the $3,204.97 level, which has proven to be a key support area on the 4H chart. This level has held strong after multiple tests, forming a solid base for potential upward movement. ✅ Resistance / TP1: The first significant resistance level lies at $3,435.13. This is a previous supply zone where price faced selling pressure. If bullish momentum sustains, this will be my first take-profit (TP1) level. ✅ Resistance TP2: Should the price break above TP1 with strong volume, the next major resistance is around $3,497.61, which will act as TP2 for this long setup. 📊 Trade Setup • Entry Zone: Around $3,328–$3,333 • Stop Loss: Below recent swing low at $3,263.26 • Take Profits: TP1: $3,435.13 TP2: $3,497.61 🔁 Risk-Reward Ratio: ~2.32 This setup offers a favorable R:R with a potential gain of 4.91% vs. a risk of 2.12%. 📉 BBTrend Indicator Confirmation The BBTrend histogram has started turning green again, indicating a shift in momentum toward the bulls. This transition often aligns with the early phase of upward movement, supporting a potential continuation of the trend. 🧠 Conclusion The market structure shows higher lows forming after a strong support retest, signaling a bullish reversal. A break and close above $3,333 would further validate the bullish thesis. As long as the support at $3,204.97 holds, I remain optimistic about Gold retesting higher resistance zones. 🟩 Bias: Bullish 📅 Timeframe: 4H ⚠️ Note: Always manage your risk and confirm entries with your own strategy.

GOLD XAUUSD PLAN – MAY 23 IS GOLD READY TO SURGE AGAIN?GOLD XAUUSD PLAN – MAY 23 | GEOPOLITICAL RISKS FLARE UP – IS GOLD READY TO SURGE AGAIN? 🌍 MACRO CONTEXT: Iran-Israel-US Tension: Iran has warned that if Israel attacks its nuclear facilities, the U.S. will also be held responsible. Tehran vows to take “special measures” to protect its nuclear program, and has filed formal complaints with the UN. Markets are reacting sharply to this growing geopolitical risk. Goldman Sachs Alert: Goldman Sachs recommends gold and crypto (Bitcoin) as safe-haven assets amidst soaring bond yields, fiscal crisis fears, and a failed 20-year U.S. Treasury auction. They warn that rising yields are now posing serious threats to equities while the dollar faces longer-term pressure. 📉 TECHNICAL OUTLOOK (M30): Price has bounced off the 3303 zone, and is showing signs of a bullish breakout if 3360 is taken out. There is a clear Fair Value Gap (FVG) above 3360–3380, which has yet to be fully filled. Below, the untested FVG zone near 3274–3250 remains vulnerable if support fails. EMA 13 is trending above EMA 34 and EMA 200 → bullish bias remains valid as long as 3274 holds. 🔑 KEY LEVELS TO WATCH: SELL Side Key Level: 3358–3360 → A breakout above this zone could lead to a retest of ATH near 3400–3450. BUY Side Key Level: 3276–3274 → Losing this zone could push gold back below 3200, targeting deeper correction levels. 📈 TRADE SETUPS: 🔵 BUY ZONE: 3276 – 3274 SL: 3270 TPs: 3280 → 3284 → 3288 → 3292 → 3296 → 3300 🔵 BUY SCALP: 3304 – 3302 SL: 3298 TPs: 3308 → 3312 → 3316 → 3320 → 3325 → 3330 → 3340 🔴 SELL ZONE: 3376 – 3378 SL: 3382 TPs: 3372 → 3368 → 3364 → 3360 → 3350 🔴 SELL SCALP: 3344 – 3346 SL: 3350 TPs: 3340 → 3336 → 3332 → 3328 → 3324 → 3320 🧠 FINAL THOUGHTS: Gold remains highly sensitive to geopolitical headlines and macro instability. As long as the 3303 support area holds, look for bullish continuation towards FVG highs. Break below 3274 may shift the bias sharply to the downside. Stay alert — volatility is expected to rise ahead of the next U.S. data and developments in the Iran nuclear issue.GOLD XAUUSD PLAN – MAY 23 | GEOPOLITICAL RISKS FLARE UP – IS GOLD READY TO SURGE AGAIN? 🌍 MACRO CONTEXT: Iran-Israel-US Tension: Iran has warned that if Israel attacks its nuclear facilities, the U.S. will also be held responsible.

BUY Side Key Level: 3276–3274 → Losing this zone could push gold back below 3200, targeting deeper correction levels. 📈 TRADE SETUPS: 🔵 BUY ZONE: 3276 – 3274 SL: 3270 TPs: 3280 → 3284 → 3288 → 3292 → 3296 → 3300 🔵 BUY SCALP: 3304 – 3302 SL: 3298 TPs: 3308 → 3312 → 3316 → 3320 → 3325 → 3330 → 3340 🔴 SELL ZONE: 3376 – 3378 SL: 3382 TPs: 3372 → 3368 → 3364 → 3360 → 3350 🔴 SELL SCALP: 3344 – 3346 SL: 3350 TPs: 3340 → 3336 → 3332 → 3328 → 3324 → 3320 🧠 FINAL THOUGHTS: Gold remains highly sensitive to geopolitical headlines and macro instability. As long as the 3303 support area holds, look for bullish continuation towards FVG highs. Break below 3274 may shift the bias sharply to the downside. Stay alert — volatility is expected to rise ahead of the next U.S. data and developments in the Iran nuclear issue.
