Gold short-term adjustment riskTechnical analysis of gold: The strong rise of gold in the early trading session is indeed a bit surprising. We have to think about whether gold has reversed? Or is it just a rebound? However, gold is under pressure from the moving average resistance, and the sharp rise in the early trading session is often easy to rush high and fall back. Gold 3365 continues to be short, and it falls and harvests as expected. Now it seems to be just a rebound, but the rebound is a little larger.
From the daily level, gold rose strongly during Tuesday's trading, touched the key price of 3500, then fell under pressure and finally closed with a negative line. This trend of rushing up and falling back shows that the upper selling pressure is heavy, and the bulls are strongly blocked by the bears at high levels. Immediately afterwards, gold continued to fall on Wednesday and closed with a negative line again, forming a technical pattern of two consecutive negative lines. This continuous decline further confirms that the short-term bears dominate.
From the 4-hour gold chart, the price of gold has been fluctuating and falling since it was under pressure at the 3500 level. The current price has fallen back to the 3260 level, with a short-term decline of 240 US dollars. Although there is a rebound during the day, the upward trend is currently destroyed. The MACD indicator has issued a death cross change signal, suggesting that the correction trend may have started. Pay attention to the pressure effect of the 3368 level during the day. For the current market, the rebound is just a flash in the pan, and gold has rebounded again, reaching a maximum of 3367 before retreating. It is currently maintained at around 3330. In fact, the market is currently at a loss for long and short positions, and is unable to withstand its huge fluctuations. For the morning's high and fall, we support it according to the shock retracement. If the European session rebounds again near 3358-60, continue to try to short, the target is around 3320-10, and the loss is 3370. The market amplitude is so drastic that I need to strictly implement good operating habits, try with a light position, strictly stop loss, and don't have a fluke mentality! On the whole, today's short-term operation strategy for gold is to short on rebounds and to buy on pullbacks. The short-term focus on the upper side is the 3368-3370 line of resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 3260-3285 line of support.
Short order strategy:
Strategy 1: When gold rebounds around 3358-3360, short sell (buy short) in batches, 20% of the position, stop loss 6 points, target around 3320-3300, break the position and look at 3260
Long order strategy:
Strategy 2: When gold falls back to around 3260-3265, buy long positions in batches (buy up) of 20% of the position, stop loss 6 points, target around 3300-3330, break the position and look at 3350

"The tariff war" continues to manipulate the market.As evident from the chart, the drastic ups and downs triggered by tariffs this month have persisted, with the number of days seeing gold fluctuate by over $100 surpassing the historical total. Any speech, statement, or even minor move by Trump can sway market direction. We believe this essentially constitutes market manipulation, even transforming the market into a "battlefield" for the U.S. government to siphon off capital. However, since we cannot alter the status quo, we can only choose to accept it.
Currently, gold has entered an adjustment phase, and market trends could reverse at any moment due to a single news event. During this period, we need to stay calm, observe more, think critically, and carefully assess market dynamics.
Gold once fell below the 3,300 mark, can it rise again?
📌 Driving Event
Spot gold (XAU/USD) once fell below the 3,300 US dollar mark, a significant correction from the previous historical high of nearly 3,500 US dollars. The market's risk appetite has increased, making the attractiveness of safe-haven assets weakened in the short term. However, repeated news about the direction of US policy and the Fed Chairman's movements may still affect the market in the medium and long term.
📊Comment Analysis
From the perspective of market sentiment, the strong rise in gold prices in the early stage mainly relied on safe-haven demand and speculation about subsequent monetary easing. However, the short-term trend has led to some profit-taking in safe-haven assets due to the recovery of the equity market. This change in sentiment reflects the current market's optimism and caution about the US macroeconomic environment: once risk appetite weakens again, gold may be supported again; if risk appetite continues to rise, gold prices may continue to retreat.
Overall, the market is in a state of repeated game, and sudden news can easily lead to large fluctuations in gold prices, and we need to continue to pay attention to the evolution of risk sentiment.
✅ Outlook for the future
Short-term outlook: In the case of short-term technical continuation signals, gold prices may remain weak, and the support around $3,300 and $3,230.00 is worth paying attention to. If volatility further increases, it is not ruled out that prices will rebound quickly or bottom out rapidly.
Medium- and long-term outlook: The upward structure at the daily level has not been completely destroyed. If the uncertainty of US policies increases or economic data is weak in the future, it will once again drive the recovery of safe-haven demand. Gold prices may still regain their upward momentum and hit $3,500 or even higher. On the contrary, if the equity market continues to strengthen, gold prices will face deeper correction pressure.

4/23 Gold Trading StrategyGold saw a sharp decline from 3500 to around 3360 yesterday, and our selling strategy delivered significant returns.
Over the weekend, Trump stated he has no intention to fire Powell and hinted at easing trade tensions. This quickly dampened market risk aversion, causing gold to plunge at the open today to near 3320. The downward momentum remains strong.
In this kind of market, flexibility is key. A sharp drop is usually followed by a rebound, but the strength of that rebound is what matters. Technically, the potential bounce is estimated at around $50, but whether the price continues to rise or resumes its decline will depend on how the market digests the news.
Technical levels (excluding news impact):
Key resistance: 3410–3440
Key support: 3328–3303
Considering the news:
Key resistance: 3346-3372
Key support: 3298–3268
Trading Strategy for Today:
Sell between 3410–3440
Buy between 3297–3267
Trade flexibly within 3386–3332 / 3296–3328
Trump's remarks and policy moves: Stirring the financial marketsTrump's remarks have sent shockwaves through financial markets and had a substantial impact on gold prices😰! He declared that he would not dismiss Fed Chair Powell, yet simultaneously called for interest rate cuts. His prior threats to remove Powell had stoked fears among investors regarding the Federal Reserve's policy, compelling them to turn to gold as a safe haven, which caused the price of gold to soar🚀. However, his most recent statement alleviated investors' concerns, leading funds to flow back into dollar - denominated assets and causing gold to decline from its peak levels📉
When it came to trade, Trump showed signs of leniency during the talks with China, aiming to reach a swift agreement that would reduce tariffs by 145% (although not to zero)🤝. The past unpredictability in trade relations had driven up the price of gold, and potential future easing measures might dampen the demand for gold as a safe haven asset⏳

The market has been extremely volatile lately 📈📉 If you can't figure out the market's direction, you'll only be a cash dispenser for others 💰
XAUUSD Today's strategyThere has been a remarkable negative correlation between DXY and gold prices for a long time. Although this internal logic is short-term disturbed by multiple complex factors, the core correlation has always dominated the market rhythm. Recently, the joint remarks by the U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trump on easing tariff issues may boost the U.S. dollar emotionally in the short term, thereby suppressing the bullish momentum of gold. However, this impact needs to be examined within the macro framework.
Currently, the high uncertainty of the global economy, the intermittent escalation of geopolitical risks, and the reconstruction of inflation expectations in some economies jointly form a long-term supporting logic for the safe-haven attribute of gold. From a trading perspective, the above-mentioned short-term disturbances instead provide a window for strategic allocation —
Long-term investors who have not yet positioned or exited midway can take the opportunity of market sentiment fluctuations to build positions in batches, with key attention paid to the test opportunities of the critical support range of $3,250-$3,280。
Short-term traders need to strengthen discipline and strictly follow the established stop-loss and take-profit rules. Given the amplified volatility and enhanced randomness of the current market, it is recommended to appropriately shorten the operation cycle and closely track the intraday dynamics to adjust strategies.
Overall, the marginal changes in tariff policy expectations only constitute small-level fluctuations in the trend process, and the medium-to-long-term upward logic of gold remains undamaged. Investors can grasp structural opportunities under the premise of controlling positions according to their own risk preferences.

Gold plummets and peaks in stages, price trend in the futureGold prices retreated from a record high of $3,500, attracting some selling for two consecutive days. U.S. President Donald Trump softened his rhetoric toward the chairman of the Federal Reserve and sent signals that trade tensions may be easing, weakening market demand for safe-haven assets.
The fluctuations will depend on technical points. When the market returns to the technical level, the next operation will be much more stable. At least there are high points above for reference. It is just a matter of timing. However, the crazy time is over, but the bull market is not over.
At present, the price has peaked at 3500 USD. The short-term market will enter a consolidation phase. The callback will focus on the 382 split support of 3292 and the 50 split support of 3228 in the 2956-3500 segment. The limit is that it will not fall too far from 3167. These positions are also waiting for the opportunity to rise again. Each squat adjustment is to further continue the bullish trend. The next stage of pull-up height should pay attention to 3746;
In the intraday, gold opened lower in the early trading, rebounded to the gap of 3385 US dollars and continued to break the bottom. In the short term, 3385 will form a new pressure point. For today's market, the high and high are the main rhythm. The morning low of 3315 is the watershed. If it falls below it during the day, the US market will inevitably retreat for the second time. The double bottom support is 3283, which is the point for long today.

Gold: Beware of the Impending Mid-to-Long Term Bearish Trend💥 Post-market surprise news shook the gold market:
About a week ago, Trump publicly hinted at “considering firing” Powell. But just after today’s market close, he suddenly walked it back, saying he “never thought about it.”
At the same time, he dropped signals of easing trade tensions — this combo crushed gold’s safe-haven sentiment, causing a gap-down open that nearly broke below 3300!
🗣 Looks like Trump might be happily trading gold himself! 😂
Now, gold has recovered most of that drop and filled the gap, so this round of quick rebound profits is mostly over.
📉 What’s next? Strategy outlook:
🔺 Short-term resistance to watch:
Key level at 3400
If broken, 3420–3440 is a strong short-entry zone
If price pushes further, consider scaling into shorts between $3440–3540, targeting $3268
🔻 Short-term support:
A gap still exists around 3313
If price fails to break above 3440, apart from shorting near 3420, watch for buying opportunities near 3300
📉 Mid-term view:
If gold climbs past 3440 again this week and holds, expect a mid-term correction
Mid-term targets: 3190–3128
A drop below 3000 is not out of the question — the rally from 2000 to 3500 is simply too steep!
🧭 In summary: The rebound opportunity is nearly over. Don’t chase blindly at these highs — the market is entering a highly volatile decision zone. We could be looking at bull traps followed by a meaningful correction.
🎯 Long positions — manage your rhythm!
If price shows signs of exhaustion or stalls in the 3400–3440 zone,
🔔 Take profits promptly to avoid giving gains back!
If a clear breakout fails, it’s time to switch back to shorts and follow the trend.
Has the gold high diving reached its peak?The 1-hour inverted V reversal, the 1-hour moving average of gold also began to show signs of turning. There was no risk aversion news stimulus in the second half of the night, so the daily line could not go up, it was a high shooting star, the high points of the US rebound were successively lower, and the short-term trend of gold has formed a short position. The second rebound of the US market was under pressure and fell again near 3430. Then the US rebound below 3430 continued to be shorted, and the US rebound near 3420 could continue to be shorted. The market is changing rapidly. Since gold can't go up, and it starts to fall, the gold bulls have been declared over in the short term.
On the whole, the short-term operation strategy for gold today is to short on rebounds and go long on pullbacks. The short-term focus on the upper side is the 3420-3430 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 3280-3285 support. Friends must keep up with the rhythm.
Short order strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches when it rebounds to around 3420-3425, stop loss 6 points, target around 3380-3350, break to see 3300 line;
Long order strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3285-3290, stop loss 6 points, target around 3325-3350, break to see 3380 line;
4/22 Gold Trading StrategyGold continued its upward movement yesterday. Short positions around 3380 yielded limited gains, while those near 3410 are currently underwater. Many traders may be in a similar position, and I want to emphasize: there’s no need to panic—today offers a strong opportunity for the bears.
Technically, gold is now in the final stage of a five-wave upward structure . The bullish momentum is fading. The remaining upside is likely limited to within $50 , while the downside potential could exceed $80. In short, there’s an 80%+ chance of a pullback or consolidation today, offering a solid exit or profit opportunity for short positions.
The price is expected to retrace below 3360, and once profit-taking begins, the decline may accelerate.
Trading Strategy for Today:
Sell between 3450–3480
Buy between 3330–3310
Trade flexibly within 3440–3400 / 3410–3355
Gold: Bearish, may fall below 3300📊 Yesterday, gold resumed its bullish move after a minor pullback, breaking through the 3400 level and reaching around 3440 during today’s early session, before starting to retrace.
📉 In the chart I shared yesterday, the black line represents the key bull-bear boundary. The current price has already broken below this level, and if it fails to reclaim it, the trend may shift toward bearish in the short term.
📌 Key support levels to watch:
First support: 3383
Next support: 3350
If selling intensifies, there’s a real chance price may break below 3300
Today’s gold operation ideas are back to bullish【Gold Trend Analysis】
Fundamentally, the Trump administration's tariff policy is still uncertain, and market concerns about the trade war support the safe-haven demand for gold; the recent weakness of the US dollar index (close to the 99.0 mark), the decline in US Treasury yields (10-year yields fell to 4.368%), further benefiting gold; Goldman Sachs raised its year-end gold price forecast to $3,700, while UBS is bullish to $3,500, believing that central bank gold purchases and safe-haven demand will continue to support gold prices. Technically, gold opened higher today, rising to 3,233 as high as possible. From the technical indicators, gold is still in a bullish trend, with a 3-hour moving average golden cross. Today, gold fell back to rely on the moving average support. At the same time, the gold price is running above the Bollinger middle track. Pay attention to the middle track support. Today, we are still mainly low-long operations.
【Operational suggestions】
Buy at 3217-20, stop loss at 3207, target at 3230-45.
The Dual Crisis of the US Dollar and US DebtGold has been strong recently, and both technical and fundamental factors show that bulls are in a dominant position. Although there is no clear reversal signal at the daily level of gold, the high-level pullback is more like a normal adjustment in the rising process rather than a trend reversal. We still need to remain vigilant and pay close attention to market dynamics, especially the risk of high-level reversal. At present, the upper resistance is 3485-3490, and the lower support is 3444-3440. In terms of operation, I suggest shorting on rebounds and long on pullbacks. Once the market direction changes suddenly, it is particularly important to withdraw in time and avoid risks.
Operation strategy 1: It is recommended to go short at 3465-3470 on the rebound, stop loss at 3480, and the target is 3445-3430.
Operation strategy 2: It is recommended to go long at 3430-3425 on the pullback, stop loss at 3417, and the target is 3450-3480, and the target is 3500 if it breaks through.
Will gold continue to rise after the correction?At present, the short-term support of 4 hours is at 3442 of the 5-day moving average. If the extremely strong pattern falls back to 3442, it will be more. Further support is near the early high of 3435, which is also the support level for falling back and long positions. At the same time, it is also near the middle track of the hourly level, and the maximum support level for falling back at the hourly level. The intraday watershed is the early low of 3412. If it is broken, the market will turn weak. From the perspective of time, gold will rise in the Asian session, and there will be a second high in the European session. Focus on the strength of the European session to layout the US session. Today, gold will rise to $3,500, and the expected rise this year is $4,200-4,700. On the whole, today's short-term operation of gold suggests 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 3500-3530, and the bottom short-term focus is on the first-line support of 3410-3440. All friends must keep up with the rhythm.
Short order strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches when it rebounds to around 3500-3503, stop loss 6 points, target around 3470-3450, and look at the 3440 line if it breaks;
Long order strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3440-3443, stop loss 6 points, target around 3475-3495, and look at the 3500 line if it breaks;

Trump and Powell's "power showdown" ignites global risk aversion
📌 Driving events
On Tuesday (April 22), gold prices soared and set a new record high. Spot gold once hit the $3,500 mark, an increase of about 2.2%. US President Trump criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Powell for worrying the market, suppressing risk appetite and pushing investors to turn to safe-haven gold. After hitting the 3,500 mark, the price of gold fell slightly. Spot gold is currently trading at nearly $3,478.55 per ounce.
📊Comment analysis
KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer pointed out that under the double blow of tariff concerns and the Trump-Powell farce, investors are fleeing US assets across the board. The continued weakness of the US dollar has created an excellent opportunity for gold to rise.
On Monday, Trump made a tough statement, asking the Federal Reserve to "cut interest rates immediately" otherwise the US economy will face the risk of slowing down. Powell insisted last week that interest rates should not be easily adjusted until the impact of Trump's tariff policy on inflation becomes clear.

This is considered a demand zone or support level where buying interest might emerge.

Gold trading ideas for todayHello everyone. Let's discuss the trend of gold this week. It can be seen that gold has retreated to around 3452, and 3452 is also the support position of the AM10 moving average.
The next operation is actually very simple. If gold stabilizes at 3445-3430, it should continue to buy.
If it falls below 3430, then you need to wait for around 3400 to buy.
There is no need to look too far for the upper target price. Continue to look at the high point of 3500, or even the new high of 3520.
#XAUUSD: Bullish Rally To Continue $3550 Area! Gold’s been on a steady upward climb, and it seems like it might keep going up. The only thing that’s really driving it up is the fundamentals. Right now, the price is super high, and selling it could be risky.
