The recent gold short position has a perfect harvestIt can be said that the market of gold on Wednesday was mainly range-bound. After the US market, gold began to follow a unilateral decline pattern, with the lowest reaching the 3173 line. The current rebound of gold is not strong. On the rebound, we will focus on the 3206-3210 line for suppression at the top and 3154-3154 at the bottom. 3160 is a first-line support. The general trend is still mainly rebounding and shorting. We continue to rebound and take advantage of the trend to intervene in short orders and be a stable trader. I have always been here. If your current gold operation is not ideal, I hope that your investment can avoid detours. Welcome to communicate!
Judging from the 4-hour analysis, the upper side is currently focusing on the short-term suppression of the 3206-3210 first line. The counter-draw relies on this position to continue to go short first and then fall back. Before breaking through and standing at this position, the counter-draw main short-term rhythm will remain unchanged. The short-term support below is around 3154-3160, with interval operations as the main focus.
Gold operation strategy:
Gold rebounds and goes short at 3206-3210 line, stop loss at 3219, target 3160-3165 line, continue to hold if the position is broken;

Rebounds are opportunities to short goldAt present, gold has tried to fall below the 3200 mark and completely broke the recent low support, laying the foundation for the downward structure. As the center of gravity of gold shifts downward, the upper resistance also moves down to the 3210-3220 area. The relatively clear support below in the short term is in the 3165-3160 area, and after breaking this area, it may even continue to the 3105-3100 area.
Trading strategy:
Consider continuing to short gold in the 3210-3220 area, TP: 3180-3170

Gold fell below 3200 as expected. How to operate gold?An overall bearish trend of consecutive negative and single positive declines is formed. The double top above 3400 is suppressing the decline, and a top shape structure of a large M head is formed. The key lies in whether a substantial breakthrough can be formed at the previous low of 3200. Once it breaks down, the space below will be opened up, and the other half of the M head will continue to extend downward. At that time, the daily level may usher in an accelerated decline.
At present, gold has broken through 3200 and has been exploring downward. We have said before that we have been emphasizing that gold is mainly short. Keep paying attention to the trend of gold. Today's successful prediction of the trend of gold has been very rewarding. Keep up with my pace and you will definitely gain something. In the future, gold will still be mainly short. Go short immediately after the rebound
Is it possible for the price of gold to rise further?Are you still confused now? Whether the market is soaring, plummeting, unilateral or fluctuating, are you always unable to grasp it? It is the so-called falling as soon as you buy, cutting as soon as it falls, rising as soon as you cut, chasing as soon as it rises, and then being trapped again, and cutting again. This is like a dead trap, the funds are constantly shrinking, and so on. If you are in such a cycle, please stop and think carefully, summarize your experience and lessons, and get ready to start again.

Fed Cuts vs Safe-Haven: Gold Short-Term Pressure, Long-Term BullOn Tuesday, the U.S. April CPI was mild😉. Both core and headline inflation were below expectations😮. Markets now bet the Federal Reserve will cut rates by 53 basis points cumulatively in 2025😏, with the first cut possibly in September😉. Lower interest rates are bullish for gold📈, but weakening safe - haven demand and strengthening risk assets have suppressed gains😔. Easing Russia - Ukraine tensions and a $600 billion U.S. - Saudi trade deal have added pressure on gold prices📉.
Technical analysis of gold: The daily chart forms an M - head pattern📉, with 3200 as the key bullish support level🔍. If the price fails to close above this level, further declines may follow😟. A significant technical breakdown has occurred, requiring a shift in trading strategy😕. While gold can rise rapidly, declines can be equally sharp😖. However, the long - term upward trend remains intact, and pullbacks may offer buying opportunities—though specific entry levels need to be monitored with market developments and are hard to predict currently🤔. In the short term, consider shorting near 3200📉. If 3200 is breached, even rebounds could be opportunities to follow the bearish trend😏. On upward retracements, target the Fibonacci resistance level of 3265 for short positions📊

Gold fell. How is the market?Gold fell sharply at the opening today, and the lowest point hit $3175.
From the weekly line, this has already touched the weekly MA10 moving average position.
Quaid believes that traders should not blindly carry out short strategies. If there is a price rebound, the rise will be very fast, and the market may not give you a chance to stop loss.
From the 4H chart, we can see that gold has started a downward trend from last Friday's high of $3345. $3345-3307 is wave a. $3307-3360 is wave B. Currently, it is wave C from around $3360.
However, this wave C has not ended yet. If we look at it by standard, it will be considered the end of this trend only when it goes down to around $3120.
However, around $3175 is a support position. So now before it falls below $3175, gold may maintain a shock adjustment of $3200-3175.
I think you need to pay attention to the short-term resistance level of $3200-3250. If it cannot be as strong as breaking, then we can still carry out a short strategy below 3200.

Gold falls below 3200, continues to look at 3100
📌 Driving factors
As Sino-US trade tensions ease, market concerns about a global recession ease, investors' risk appetite rises, and gold's attractiveness as a safe-haven asset declines, gold prices fell on Wednesday (May 14). After the tariff truce announced over the weekend, the stock market rose sharply, weakening gold's safe-haven appeal in the short term, which was an important factor that pushed gold prices to new highs in the previous few months, and it is also the starting point for the current large-scale selling!
📊Commentary Analysis
The price trend of gold on Tuesday showed a significant repeated shock feature. Although it ended up rising, it experienced two tortuous processes of first falling and then rising in the process, which led to a relatively limited overall increase. After the previous day's correction, the current 5-day moving average and the 10-day moving average formed a dead cross and continued to extend downward. From the perspective of intraday trading, the resistance level formed by these two moving averages has become the focus of market attention.
In the morning article, I repeatedly emphasized that gold is expected to break below 3200. Sure enough, it broke below without hesitation today. It is currently at 3185. The short position of gold near 3250 that we gave yesterday has expanded its profit again today, and it is easy to make a profit of nearly 100 points. Today, the US market operation is still mainly shorting, and it can continue to short near the rebound of 3200.
💰Strategy Package
Today, the US market operation is still mainly shorting, and it can continue to short near the rebound of 3200, with the target near 3170-3180.

Gold latest strategy analysisGold prices fell on Wednesday as eased global trade tensions alleviated fears of a potential global economic recession, boosting investors' risk appetite and dampening gold's safe-haven appeal. Before the U.S. trading session on Wednesday, spot gold plunged sharply in a short term, plummeting by $50 in just three hours and breaking below the $3,200 mark. After 50 hours of consolidation, gold finally broke below the previous low of 3,200 to continue its downward trend. It can now be confirmed that the wave 3 decline is established. Currently, the gold price has stopped falling and rebounded at the lower track of the downward channel (this channel position can refer to the support level analyzed in yesterday's morning session). After the previous support was broken, it can be used as a reference for short-term resistance, namely the 3,200-3,206 area. As long as the rebound does not hold above this level tonight, the subsequent strategy will be to go short at highs and look for further downside.

XAU/USD: Go short on the rebound.The trend of the gold market yesterday was highly consistent with our strategy. The fluctuation range of the gold price within the day was clear. The lowest point touched was $3,216, and the highest point rose to $3,265. As a whole, it presented a typical rectangular oscillation pattern, which was in full accordance with the analysis and prediction we released over the weekend.
In terms of the trading strategy, within the oscillation range of $3,200 to $3,270, it is recommended to adopt the trading idea of selling on rallies. It is relatively prudent to place short positions after the price rebounds to a high level. However, going long at a low position requires caution as there is a certain degree of risk. Currently, we need to focus on the breakthrough of the key level of $3,215. If the gold price effectively breaks below $3,215 today, the support of the round number level of $3,200 may be challenged, and there may be a risk of losing this support level.
I am committed to sharing trading signals every day. Among them, real-time signals will be flexibly pushed according to market dynamics. All the signals sent out last week accurately matched the market trends, helping numerous traders achieve substantial profits. Regardless of your previous investment performance, I believe that with the support of my professional strategies and timely signals, I will surely be able to assist you in breaking through investment bottlenecks and achieving new breakthroughs in the trading field.
Gold Testing PRZ & Resistance Zone-Short Opportunity? Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) moved according to yesterday's analysis and the position that was Risk-To-Reward:1.61 and hit the target of this position. Do you think Gold will continue its correction, or should we wait for the next gold rally to start?
Gold is trading in the Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245) near the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) , and the Resistance lines .
From a Classical Technical Analysis perspective , it seems possible that an Ascending Broadening Wedge Pattern could form.
Educational note : An Ascending Broadening Wedge is a bearish technical pattern characterized by higher highs and higher lows that expand over time. It signals increasing volatility and weakening bullish momentum, often leading to a breakdown below support.
In terms of Elliott Wave theory , Gold appears to be in corrective waves in the 15-minute time frame .
I expect Gold to decline at least to the Support lines again , at least I think you can find a good Risk-To-Reward in PRZ for short positions .
Note: If Gold touches $3,292 [ Worst Stop Loss(SL) ], we can expect further gains.

Is $3000 the Next Stop for Gold? Double Top Formation in Play!Is $3000 the Next Stop for Gold? Double Top Formation in Play!
Gold (XAU/USD) is showing signs of a potential bearish reversal as it forms a Double Top pattern on the daily chart. After hitting an all-time high near $3,500, the metal has entered a sharp correction phase and is now hovering dangerously close to key psychological support at $3,200.
Technical Analysis Breakdown:
A clear Double Top pattern is forming on the Daily (D1) chart, with two peaks near the same resistance level — a classical bearish signal indicating bullish exhaustion.
If today’s daily candle closes below the $3,200 level, we could see a rapid decline toward $3,000 in the short to medium term.
The neckline for this pattern aligns with the critical support zone between 3196–3200, which is the key area to monitor for potential breakdown confirmation.
What’s the Smart Money Doing?
Investors are currently pulling out of gold and rotating into higher-risk assets like equities and cryptocurrencies, looking for higher yields and growth potential.
This shift in investment suggests that the current sell-off might not just be a technical correction, but also a sign of changing macro sentiment — particularly if the Fed continues with a hawkish stance and delays rate cuts.
Suggested Trade Scenarios:
🔻 If Daily Close is Below $3,200:
High probability sell setup based on the Double Top pattern
Potential downside targets: 3120 → 3050 → 3000
🔺 If Price Holds Above $3,200 and Bounces:
Watch for a retracement to 3250–3278 for potential reversal signals
Short-term BUY scalp towards 3300–3320 with a tight SL below 3190
What to Watch This Week:
Keep an eye on key US economic data, including CPI, PPI, and a Fed Chair speech, which could cause significant volatility.
The market is highly reactive right now — avoid emotional trades and wait for clear confirmation from the charts.
Risk management is essential, especially during these uncertain times.
Final Thoughts:
The Double Top pattern on Gold is becoming a significant technical signal for a potential trend reversal. A confirmed break below $3,200 could open the door for a deeper correction toward $3,000.

Gold price fluctuates and rebounds before shortingJudging from the 4-hour analysis, the top is currently focusing on the short-term suppression of the 3258-65 line, and the important first-line suppression of 3275-81. During the day, the counter-draw relies on this position to continue to go short first and then fall back. Before breaking through and standing at this position, the main counter-drawing rhythm will remain unchanged. The short-term support below is around 3206-13, focusing on the 3200 first-line mark support. Be cautious when doing longs. Focus on the support of the 3200 line. Be cautious when going long.
Gold operation strategy:
Short at the rebound of 3258-65, short at the rebound of 3275-83, stop loss at 3293, target 3206-3215, continue to hold if it breaks;
Can I buy the bottom when gold fluctuates at a low level?Foreword of capital exchange: If a person does not have a goal and belief, even if there are many people to guide you, it is futile. Ask yourself what is the purpose of this investment? Have you achieved it? How far is it still? What conditions are needed to achieve your goal as soon as possible. I am very happy that you can come to understand. I am willing to help those who believe in me. Trust is like throwing a child into the sky. She can still smile because she believes that you can catch it. Trust is also the origin of all cooperation. If you cooperate with a skeptical attitude, then such cooperation will not last long. Profit is definitely not a win or loss in one order, and making money is definitely not a one-time game. When you are willing to let go of the past thinking. Even if you close your eyes, I will never let you get lost!
At present, the gold price is in a state of technical and fundamental game. On the one hand, the Fed's expectations of rate cuts this year and the weakness of the US dollar provide support; on the other hand, trade optimism and rising market risk appetite suppress safe-haven demand.Looking ahead, gold prices are likely to resume their corrective decline as the U.S. dollar stabilizes after the previous sell-off.Technical analysis of gold: In recent trading days, gold has experienced a rapid decline in the early trading, and then stabilized and rebounded. The European trading session fluctuated, and the US trading session rebounded after a high rise. Today's early trading was under pressure, and the high point of yesterday's US trading in the 3258-60 area has already experienced a rapid decline. It depends on whether it can stabilize and rebound next. Overall, continue to pay attention to the medium-term support of the 3202-07 mark. Before breaking down, once the bulls stabilize, they will fill the gap of Monday's gap in the 3320-25 area; if it breaks down, it will open up the downward space, further 3160-3120, and then gradually fall to 3060 and the 3000 mark, the starting point of this round of bullish rise. The M top or W bottom we emphasized is still waiting for the market to choose!
Today's short-term gold operation ideas suggest that callbacks should be the main focus, and rebound shorts should be supplemented. The top short-term focus is on the first-line resistance of 3257-3265, and the bottom short-term focus is on the first-line support of 3215-3220. All friends must keep up with the rhythm.
Short position strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches near 3255-3260, stop loss 10 points, target near 3240-3230, break to see 3220 line;
Long position strategy:
Strategy 2: Buy 20% of the gold position in batches near 3220-3222, stop loss 10 points, target near 3240-3250, break to see 3270 line;
Gold price plummeted below 3200, how should gold be deployed?🗞News side:
1. The rise in U.S. stocks is worrisome, and the risk of backlash is growing.
2. Pay attention to initial unemployment claims data
📈Technical aspects:
The US gold price fell below the key support of 3200. At present, the gold shorts continue to exert their strength and are expected to further test the support of 3170-3160, or even the previous key point of 3150. Before the market trend becomes clear, it is not recommended for brothers to enter the market at will. If the gold price successfully touches the support area below and obtains strong support, then enter the market to do more.

Gold Faces Strong Sell-Off: Is a Reversal on the Horizon? Gold Faces Strong Sell-Off After Initial Bounce – Is a Reversal Looming?
Gold opened the day with a slight uptick, only to be quickly slammed down, reflecting the current weakness in buying power. The market is reacting to news in flashes, quickly reversing direction — slow on the way up, but fast on the way down. This is the perfect reflection of a market losing confidence in any recovery trend.
🧐 Is This a Sign That Gold Is Heading Towards a Strong Reversal Zone?
📌 Support Zones to Monitor:
3222 – 3220: Short-term cushion. If this fails, expect further downward pressure.
3206 (M30): Next level of defense where technical reactions may occur.
⏳ Caution: Early European session tends to show strong volatility. If no clear signs of a bounce, be cautious of sudden sharp drops.
As for the trade negotiations, the developments around tariffs have been much more positive recently. Most news points toward further downside pressure on Gold, and it seems to be staying in the downward price channel. The price zones are not much different from yesterday’s levels, so I’ll slightly adjust my entries for today.
Watch the Resistance Levels: They are key for shorting opportunities. The BUY setup still seems far off; it’s hard to pick a good entry with resistance zones appearing everywhere right now. Don't rush into BUY positions just yet!

🔎 Key Insights:
The market is moving in a tight range, but gold continues to hold below significant resistance. As the geopolitical situation stabilizes and tariff talks improve, any sudden price reversals will be important to monitor. The FOMC meeting and global developments will play key roles in shaping the future trend for gold.
💡 Conclusion:
Gold is facing a strong sell-off after testing key resistance. Focus on shorting at key resistance zones and be cautious with any buys until a clearer upward trend forms. Stay disciplined, watch the support levels carefully, and manage your trades well!
Gold starts a downward trend? Latest strategy.News focus:
Today, Fed official Waller will give a speech;
Tomorrow, the number of initial jobless claims, producer price index (PPI) and retail sales data will be released;
On Friday, the market will usher in the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index report.
Technical analysis:
Gold fell rapidly in the Asian market, then rebounded slightly, and has been in a sideways trend.
I think the recent volatility is more obvious, and there is still uncertainty whether the direction will be quickly completed.
There are large differences in the current price of the short strategy, and it is impossible to make a decisive breakthrough in the short term.
Operation strategy:
Still adhere to the expectation of short-term decline, the rebound will not hinder the final decline expectation, and the strategy of shorting at high points will be maintained in the short term.
You need to pay attention to the key support level of $3160. If the downward trend opens this position, the gold price may test the low position of 3100.
Gold has now fallen by 3200, and the next support level is 3160
📌 Driving factors
As Sino-US trade tensions ease, market concerns about a global recession have eased, investor risk appetite has increased, and the attractiveness of gold as a safe-haven asset has declined, and gold prices fell on Wednesday (May 14). After the tariff truce announced over the weekend, the stock market rose sharply, weakening the safe-haven appeal of gold in the short term, which was an important factor that pushed gold prices to new highs in the previous few months, and it is also the starting point for the current large number of sell-offs!
Driven by bargain hunting, gold prices rebounded on Tuesday, and the weaker-than-expected US inflation data released that day also helped gold prices rise. However, trade optimism limits the strength of gold's rebound.

Gold crash alarm is sounding!
Technical aspects:The pressure area of gold is concentrated in the range of 3250-3260. If the market remains weak and under pressure, it will be difficult for gold prices to break through this area. The key support around 3210-3200 should be focused on for gold to go down. If the gold price falls below the support of 3200, it may trigger a waterfall-like decline, and the expected support bottom is in the area of 3100-3050.
In terms of operation, you can wait for the opportunity to rebound and come under pressure after the position is broken, and take advantage of the trend to place short orders. It is important to remember that 3200 is like a key line of defense. Once it falls, it will trigger a chain selling.
