5/23 Gold Analysis and Trading SignalsGood afternoon everyone!
Gold did not touch our key buy or sell zones yesterday, but flexible intraday range trading worked well, resulting in decent profits.
Currently, the price has reached around 3330, and from a technical standpoint, bulls remain in control. If no negative surprise hits the market, gold could target 3368 today, with a potential to test 3400 resistance next week.
🔔 On the news front, two key events during the U.S. session today deserve attention:
A speech by Fed Governor Lisa Cook on financial stability — may provide hints about the Fed’s stance.
An executive order signed by Donald Trump, which might impact markets depending on its content (e.g., taxes, tariffs, or spending).
Also, note that U.S. markets will be closed next Monday, but this is unlikely to cause major disruptions. Positions held over the weekend can still be adjusted during the Asian session on Monday.
📈 Today’s Trading Recommendations:
📉 Sell near 3382–3398 (Resistance zone)
📈 Buy near 3274–3256 (Support zone)

How will the price of gold go? Prospect analysis is here.In the Asian session, spot gold rebounded modestly after a sharp drop in the previous trading day, and the price of gold is currently around $3,330.
Gold prices lost some upside momentum on Thursday, but downside remains limited. Gold prices suffered a correction on Thursday, ending the previous three consecutive trading days of gains, mainly due to the rebound of the US dollar and traders taking profits after the price of gold hit a two-week high. Spot gold closed down $20.14, or 0.61%, at $3,294.81 per ounce on Thursday.
We see gold encountering some profit-taking selling pressure after its recent gains, while a stronger U.S. dollar index is another bearish factor. However, affected by the turmoil in the global bond market, the gold market continues to be bullish and the decline is limited.
Short-term technical analysis:
Looking at the gold daily chart, the high point of gold prices on Thursday moved up from the previous trading day, while the low point moved down. Buyers continue to defend on the downside near the flat SMA 20-day, which provides support near $3,288.00. The 100-day and 200-day moving averages continue to move upwards at levels well below current gold prices, consistent with the dominant bullish trend. Finally, technical indicators have lost bullish power but are flat within positive levels, limiting the possibility of further declines.
Looking at the 4-hour chart, there is no sign that gold will fall further. Gold prices continue to trade above all its moving averages, with the 20-period SMA crossing above the directionless 100-period SMA and 200-period SMA. Meanwhile, technical indicators are moving lower, but with limited downside power, they remain above their midlines.
Short-term focus on important support and resistance levels:
Support: $3,290; $3,270; $3,250.
Resistance: $3,325; $3,345; $3,360.
I hope my analysis can help you make profits easily in the trading market.
Gold (XAUUSD) Long Setup – Targeting Fresh Highs Bullish Move📊 Chart Breakdown & Market Context:
This 30-minute chart of Gold Spot (XAU/USD) shows a strong bullish price structure that is currently forming higher lows while respecting dynamic trendline support. The chart illustrates demand and supply transfers, which are pivotal concepts in price action trading. Let’s explore the technical reasoning behind this trade setup:
🔄 1. Demand & Supply Shift Zones:
Demand Transferred: Initially, price consolidated within the blue elliptical region. This area saw aggressive bullish pressure that pushed price upward, confirming the presence of institutional demand. As the market progressed, this demand shifted higher — now located at the most recent zone where price bounced after a pullback.
Supply Transferred : A major bearish reaction zone was taken out after the market absorbed selling pressure. This suggests that sellers are no longer in control and demand is rebalancing in favor of buyers.
📈 2. Bullish Structure Confirmation:
After the pullback on May 22, price formed a higher low, perfectly aligned with both the new demand zone and the ascending trendline support. This confirms that buyers are defending this area.
The price is currently pushing upward from this demand, signaling a potential bullish continuation.
The 50% equilibrium level of the recent bearish leg is being tested. A clean break and close above this level would confirm buyers’ dominance and could invite momentum trading interest.
🔵 3. Entry, Targets & Stop-Loss Plan:
✅ Entry:
Entry is ideal from the current price region near 3,313 (or on minor retracement, maintaining RR).
🎯 Take Profit Zones:
TP1 (~3,336): This is just above the 50% level and near the previous swing high. Partial take-profit here is wise in case price consolidates.
TP2 (~3,360): Located at the upper resistance zone, marking the potential target if bullish momentum continues.
❌ Stop-Loss:
SL: 3,287.891 — placed below the recent higher low and below the demand zone. This protects the trade from deeper pullbacks or breakdowns below structural support.
📉 4. Risk Management & Trade Psychology:
Maintain a Risk-Reward Ratio (RRR) of at least 1:2 to ensure profitable expectancy.
Avoid over-leveraging, as we are trading near a key resistance zone (50% area).
Watch for volume confirmation or strong bullish candles before fully committing to the trade.
Use a trailing stop once TP1 is hit to secure profits toward TP2.
⚠️ 5. Key Considerations Before Execution:
Monitor any macroeconomic events (e.g., Fed announcements, CPI/PPI, NFP) that may impact gold volatility.
Check DXY (Dollar Index) — if the dollar weakens, gold will likely strengthen further.
Volume behavior around the 50% zone will indicate breakout vs rejection.
🧠 Summary for Minds Section:
Gold shows a clear higher-low structure supported by trendline and demand transfer.
Buyers absorbed supply; now building momentum toward upper resistance zones.
Entry near 3,313, SL under 3,288, TP1 ~3,336, TP2 ~3,360.
Trend remains bullish unless trendline and demand zone are broken.
💡 Educational Takeaway: Watch for demand/supply shifts and trendline confirmations. This setup is a textbook example of structural continuation supported by market psychology and price action zones.
XAUUSDToday, the follower executed accurate signals in the band trading center and made a profit. The current news is relatively stable. The technical side continues to pursue long orders.
Combined with SMA, there is a support position below 3300-3290. The retracement range is 1%. It is currently in perfect agreement with the expected value.
The current price is 3312. At present, we need to wait for the market to digest some negative factors before looking for opportunities to buy. Below 3310 is a good buying position. Above 3345 is a pressure position that needs to be paid attention to in the short term. If it breaks through, you need to pay attention to whether the position of 3350-3360 can break through stably before considering buying.
Do not trade independently during the trading process. To avoid any losses. If you don’t know how to trade, remember to pay attention to the buying and selling suggestions of the band trading center.
PMI Boosts USD but Caution Lingers Ahead of Fed DecisionOANDA:XAUUSD TVC:GOLD The recent release of stronger-than-expected S&P Global PMIs in the U.S. has offered short-term support to the dollar, pressuring gold from intraday highs. Manufacturing and services PMIs both improved to 52.3 in May, fueling speculation that the U.S. economy may still be resilient despite persistent concerns over Trump's proposed tax reforms and renewed tariffs.
Still, market sentiment remains cautious. While Wall Street recovered slightly, it continues to post weekly losses. Investors are balancing upbeat data with longer-term risks — including a potential economic slowdown triggered by aggressive fiscal tightening and global demand headwinds.
With the FOMC meeting approaching (June 17–18), gold traders are likely to remain reactive to macroeconomic signals. Any dovish shift or mention of a potential rate cut timeline could reignite demand for non-yielding assets like gold. Until then, price action around the $3,289 support and the Quasimodo pattern will be crucial for short-term direction.
Resistance : $3,319 , $3,343
Support : $3,289 , $3,239
Gold starts to go down? Double opportunities.Analysis of Asian market trend:
To summarize the short-term trend, "continue to step back and continue to seek key support". Gold rose and then fell in the Asian market yesterday, and the final rebound stopped at 3350. The trend is in line with our short-term bearish expectations. As for the market falling and breaking, it is a normal market. This means that the adjustment needs to continue. Today, the main focus below is still the support level of 3280. The early decline has approached this point, but it has not been completely touched; if this position is not broken, the bullish rebound is still there and it will rise at any time.
Operation adjustment, mainly low and high, supplemented by high and low, look at the shock sideways, wait for the market to break through the range and gradually look down; then the two main points of short-term focus, if the downward trend does not break 3280, then the rebound will first look at the high point of 3320. Strong breakthrough and stabilization at this position, if it does not break through yesterday's high point, it will continue to be mainly shocking; at the same time, unlike the previous consecutive rises in the past few weeks, this week's trend is slightly weak, and it is almost the weekend, so let's look at the amplitude of the range trend first.
Operation strategy:
Short around 3320, stop loss at 3328, target at 3290;
Long around 3280, stop loss at 3270, target at 3315.
Short-term trading is temporarily operated in this range, and a new layout will be made if it breaks.
Gold Hits 3360 Resistance After Breakout – Reversal Ahead?📈 Gold Breaks Out – Now Approaching Key Resistance
Two days ago, I highlighted the ascending triangle forming on Gold and warned that a breakout could lead to strong acceleration in the direction of the move.
As expected, price broke to the upside and rallied 1,000 pips, confirming the bullish breakout.
🧱 B ut now, Gold faces a major test...
Price is now approaching a critical confluence resistance zone around 3360, where I expect a possible reversal.
Given the recent pattern of strong two-way volatility, a pullback from here could send Gold back down to retest the broken 3250 zone — now acting as support.
📊 Trading Plan:
I’m watching closely for signs of weakness near 3360 to open short trades. This level is key for both bulls and bears, and price action here could define the next move.

Gold Price Analysis May 22The recent consecutive bullish candles have brought gold close to ATH. With the current candlestick force, gold is still not strong enough to close above 3400 today and will still encounter some selling force creating a new half wave that can push it back above 3400
The immediate barrier zone is 3344 that the Asian session needs to pay attention to. If it does not break through at the end of the session, it is possible to SELL around this area, the target will not be long because the buying force is still strong according to the main trend. In case of breaking 3344, 3360 is the next price reaction zone for the European and American sessions. The resistance at 3395 will play a key role in preventing gold from a strong slide.
On the other hand, any retest is considered a good opportunity to buy. 3322 and 3290 are the targets of SELL orders and are also buying opportunities when there is confirmation of buying force around this area.
Dangers and opportunities for gold? Trend change?In early Asian trading, spot gold fluctuated in a narrow range and is currently trading around $3,300. After rising in the first three trading days of this week, gold prices briefly hit a two-week high of $3,345 in Asian trading on Thursday, then fell sharply and finally closed around $3,294. This rapid change hides the fierce struggle between the strengthening of the US dollar, the turmoil of US bonds and geopolitical changes.
The rebound of the US dollar is the biggest pressure for the rise in gold prices.
Another major pressure on the gold market comes from the sharp fluctuations in US bond yields. The 30-year US bond yield hit a 19-month high, reflecting the market's deep concerns about the $3.8 trillion in new debt. The cold auction of $16 billion in 20-year US bonds on Wednesday further confirmed the judgment that the demand for sovereign bonds is undergoing structural changes.
The current gold market is being pulled by multiple forces. In the short term, the technical rebound of the US dollar and the selling of US bonds do pose pressure. But in-depth analysis shows that the pressure of currency depreciation brought by the $3.8 trillion fiscal expansion, the safe-haven demand caused by the damaged credit of US debt, and the risk of stagflation are three factors that are building long-term support for gold.
I think the shadow of global bond market turmoil will become a potential factor for the bullish gold market.
There are relatively few economic data during Asian trading hours. The focus should be on the annualized total number of new home sales in the United States in April after seasonal adjustment and the speeches of Federal Reserve officials, as well as news related to the geopolitical situation and the international trade situation.
I will also analyze the latest international news and its impact on gold prices for you as soon as possible.
Short-term operation strategy:
First rise: short near 3345, stop loss 3255, profit range 3280-3270.
First fall: long near 3275, stop loss 3265, profit range 3300-3310.
XAUUSD Market OutlookMy current bias on XAUUSD remains bullish, as we are targeting the lower high (LH) around the 3,438 level. However, the market is currently in a pullback phase within the LH & LL. Price has entered an OTA level within a Daily Fair Value Gap (FVG), ranging between 3,370 and 3,333. This presents a potential opportunity for short setups as we move towards the 3,251 level.
On the 4-hour timeframe, there's a valid FVG Breaker near our Fibonacci-based OTA level, aligning closely with the 3,251 support zone. This is a key area to watch for bullish confirmations. Any long positions should ideally be considered from this zone.
Important Note:
When trading gold, patience and discipline are essential. Only act on clear, confirmed setups that align with your strategy. Quality over quantity always wins in the long run.

Support Zone: Price is currently testing the lower channel support, a common place for bullish reversals if the channel remains intact.
Resistance Zone: There is a horizontal resistance area marked in gray around the $3,340–$3,360 range, which aligns with prior price reactions.

Gold hits a critical area, bulls and bears face a choice againYesterday, the market closed positively, and the market continued to rise for three consecutive days. In the short term, this wave of rise will reach the trend resistance line of 3500-3438 with great probability. We will continue to pay attention to the important pressure points of 3370-80. Due to the slow rise of yesterday, there was another wave of continuous rise this morning. The accumulated top divergence finally ushered in a downward correction. The number of such continuous divergences cannot be predicted, and sometimes it may even be forcibly reversed, but what is coming will come in the end. This is a good thing, because only after the correction can we climb higher. Of course, the bad thing is that a wave of decline in the European session will inevitably wash out a lot of bullishness, which is inevitable, because the direction of adherence is all the way up. But tonight, there is a high probability that it will bottom out and rise, because after the middle track breaks through, it will become a certain support, or pierce, but the closing should still be above, so there is a certain support in the range of 3260-3253, and there will not be too much room to go down for the time being.
The gold trend takes a sharp turn, is a bear market coming?🗞News side:
1. PMI and initial jobless claims data
2. Geopolitical situation
3. Progress of the G7 meeting
📈Technical aspects:
During the Asian session, gold prices approached a two-week high. However, as the market digests the previous positive news and European and American economic data are about to be released intensively, gold's short-term trend faces uncertainty. The key data that everyone needs to pay attention to today include the May PMI data and the number of initial jobless claims in the United States. At the same time, the international trade situation, geopolitical dynamics, the progress of the G7 meeting and the speeches of Federal Reserve officials may have an impact on the market, so it is recommended that everyone keep a close eye on the impact of the news. Judging from the 4H market trend, the US market is paying attention to the short-term support around 3280-3275. Once it stabilizes above 3280, you can arrange to go long. On the contrary, once it falls below 3280-3275, it is possible to fall to the important support area of 3260-3250.
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.

“Latest Strategic Positioning and Allocation for Gold Market”
The U.S. Treasury market continues its high-level consolidation, with the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield hitting 5.117% intraday, a new high since October 2023. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 4.613%, approaching the mid-February high of 4.58%, while the 20-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.126%, the highest since November 2023. Spot gold is quoted at $3,306.30 per ounce, down approximately 0.27% on the day, though it recorded three consecutive daily gains at the start of the week, supported by risk-aversion sentiment.
Fluctuations in the U.S. Treasury market reflect changes in fiscal pressures, policy uncertainties, and global capital flows, driving market sentiment. Gold rose initially but fell later today—has the upward move ended prematurely? After a daily large bullish candle, today’s breach of the low suggests the bearish trend may continue. For gold, the resistance level to watch is the U.S. session rebound high near $3,316 per ounce, which will be regarded as a key bull-bear watershed.
In summary, as gold encounters resistance at elevated levels, today’s trading strategy considers shorting on rebounds as the primary approach, complemented by tactical long positions on dips. Key resistance lies at $3,316–$3,340, while support is seen at $3,280–$3,260.
In the market, there are no absolutes, and neither upward nor downward trends are set in stone. Therefore, the ability to judge the balance between market gains and losses is your key to success. Let money become our loyal servant.
XAUUSD Predicted winnerPrice in the box, 4 hours ago I was discussing the price action with my cousin. He opened a buy trade after seeing a long bullish candle and sent it to me. But first I need the price to determine its position with the box. If it closes above it, it will be a buy trade and if it closes below it, it will be a sell trade. 2 hours ago the price closed below the box and issued a sell signal. We are waiting to see what the outcome will be.
Seize the opportunity in the gold marketGold fell after reaching a high point during the day, reaching a high of 3345 before going out of the big drop space, and the evening star appeared in the 4H cycle. Combined with the correction of the top divergence of the indicator, the short-term will enter the adjustment stage. Pay attention to the middle track support around 3280-75 in the future market. If it does not break, you can consider going long. Pay attention to the upper pressure of 3320 and 3335. Keep the idea of shock in operation!
Operation suggestion: Go long on gold around 3280-3275, and look at 3300 and 3320. Go short if the rebound pressure of 3320 is not broken.
Gold is going down? Is the trend going to change?The previous rally continued in the early Asian session on Thursday, reaching a high of around 3345.
However, it then began to fall rapidly. So far, gold has fallen below the 3300 mark again, with the lowest point reaching around 3280.
From the daily chart:
Gold is currently at 3280, which is the moving average support position. If it falls below 3280, the market will test 3250-3260 below. This position is not only the current daily moving average support position, but also an important barrier position in the past. This is an important suppression position for the upward trend of gold this time.
Similarly, if it wants to fall, 3250-60 is also an important support position.
Secondly, let's look at the 4-hour chart:
If it really falls below the bottom of the range at 3280, then as I said above, it will test 3250-3260. However, if it fails to break the support near 3280, it is very likely to maintain consolidation in the 4-hour range.
And from the range point of view, the fluctuation range is very large. It is basically maintained in the range of 3320-3280, which is about 40 US dollars. I suggest that we should still pay attention to whether the support here at 3280 can stabilize. If it can stabilize at this position, and there is a bottom signal at 3280, then you can go long near 3280. Sell high and buy low according to the range of 3280-3320.
On the contrary, if it falls below the support of 3280, don’t go long. It is very likely to directly test the support position of 3250-60 later.
Gold 100% Profit SignalGold hit the highest point of 3345 today and started to fall back. We also directly shorted at 3341, and successfully reached the target of 3310-15. Friends who follow my articles and real traders can see that the short-term decline of gold does not change the bullish trend. Gold rose by about 100 US dollars after breaking through the box shock, so it is normal to fall back a little. The key to gold in the US market is still the support of 3295-3300. If gold continues to test the support of 3300 and the rebound is weak, then the difficulty of gold rising in the US market will increase, and gold may have to consider high altitude. For now, the advantage of gold bulls still exists
Judging from the 4-hour market trend, the short-term support below is around 3275-3280, with a focus on the 3253-60 support. The short-term bullish strong dividing line is 3253. If the daily level stabilizes at this position, the bullish rhythm of pulling back to lows and buying on the trend will remain unchanged.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Go long when gold falls back to 3290-3295, add more when it falls back to 3275-80, stop loss at 3269, target at 3316-3320, break to 3340-45;
2. If gold rebounds to 3340-45 but does not break, go short with a light position, stop loss at 3353, target at 3300-3306
The latest gold operation strategyFrom a technical perspective, gold has been strong recently. Spot gold closed at $3,289.54 per ounce on Tuesday, and further broke through $3,300 in early trading on Wednesday, reaching a high of $3,304.06, a new high in more than a week. In the short term, gold prices need to break through the key resistance level of $3,370 to open up further upside space; $3,150 has formed a solid support below. If there are new variables in the geopolitical situation or economic data, gold prices may even challenge the $3,400 mark. Based on the current trend, the trading idea on Wednesday is clear: wait for the price to fall back and continue to intervene in long orders around 3,300, and maintain a bullish strategy.
Gold is recommended to go long in the 3300-3305 area, stop loss at 3292, target at 3315-3330
Gold surges and then falls back to repair the divergenceMainly due to the tense global geopolitical situation and the weak performance of the US dollar, the attractiveness of gold as a safe-haven asset has been strengthened, and the gold price has risen driven by safe-haven buying. According to CNN reports, the United States and Iran are negotiating on the uranium enrichment plan, and Israel may be ready to attack Iran's uranium enrichment plant, which has rapidly heated up the market's risk aversion sentiment; the US sovereign rating has been downgraded to AA1, and the dollar hegemony may loosen. At the same time, Trump's tax reform bill may lead to a significant increase in the fiscal deficit in the near future. Concerns about the US fiscal situation also provide support for gold prices. On the daily chart, gold rebounded continuously, setting a new high for the week, but the gold price rose and fell during the day, and it is necessary to pay attention to the risk of short-term correction. For the support below gold, pay attention to the low point of $3285, which is the middle track position of the daily Bollinger band and the main pressure position after the gold rose on Tuesday. The second is the gold rise and breakthrough position of $3250 on Tuesday; for the pressure above gold, pay attention to the high point of gold on Wednesday at $3325, which is the upper track position of the monthly Bollinger band, and the second is the high point of gold on the day at $3345. The increase this week should not be so large, there should be short pressure. But the bullish sentiment is particularly optimistic at present. The 4-hour and 1-hour Bollinger Bands are both running upward, and the moving average is in a bullish arrangement; the daily line has risen strongly for 4 consecutive days. It should be noted that there will be a lot of short pressure near 3350, and if you want to continue to move forward, you must stabilize the 3350 mark.
Is gold going up or down?Gold is showing the characteristics of a fluctuating upward trend. In terms of support, first pay attention to the vicinity of 3290, which is the low point touched by the gold price in the early stage of yesterday. Secondly, pay attention to the support near 3270, which is the current corresponding support position of the rising channel formed by connecting high and low points since the gold started to rise at 3120. As for the upper resistance near 3350-3370, it is the area that needs to be paid attention to at present. From a technical point of view, the next wave of rise may go to the daily Bollinger upper rail suppression point near 3400, so there is still good room for rise. The technical points of the unilateral rise in the H4 cycle are quite obvious. The Bollinger opening and the moving average system diverge upwards. The upward momentum is sufficient. The upward trend does not guess the top. The support point of the decline is on the moving average support. The expected support point is 3305. In principle, a trend long order is made at this point. It is believed that as long as the 3290 position is maintained, it is still bullish. The long defense position is the 3250 mark. This position is the key watershed for the pull-up and retracement. The key point of the rise is 3350. Here we see whether there can be an effective short-term decline. Gold rose directly in the morning. It is recommended not to chase the long in the Asian and European sessions, but to go long after the decline. Pay attention to the gains and losses of the resistance of 3350-3370 during the day.
