Gold prices steady in recovery above 3300⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold prices fell over 0.50% on Monday, weighed down by reduced demand for safe-haven assets after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a delay in the imposition of tariffs on the European Union (EU). Trading activity remained subdued due to market closures in both the United States and the United Kingdom for public holidays. At the time of writing, XAU/USD is trading around $3,336.
Sentiment improved following Trump’s Sunday statement, which postponed the implementation of the 50% tariffs on EU goods to July 9. As a result, gold came under pressure, retreating after last week’s impressive 4.86% surge—its strongest weekly performance since early April.

XAUUSD Update – 1H Confirmation/ 15 min Chart/ 3min Sell SetupGold failed to break above the Developing POC resistance and is now pulling back toward the demand zones marked on the chart.
At 3331.8, we entered a short position after the day's low was swept on the 3-minute timeframe, combined with our entry confirmations — resulting in a clean 1:3 R:R ✅
Now we’re waiting for price to reach the demand zones. If we get confirmation on lower timeframes, we’ll be looking to enter a long position.
🔔 The deeper price pulls into the lower demand zones, the better the long setups become, allowing us to consider increasing our risk from 1% to 3%, given a solid setup and momentum.

5/27 Gold Analysis and Trading SignalsGood afternoon everyone!
Yesterday, gold fluctuated within the flexible trading zone, and we only executed a long entry near 3323, which brought decent profit.
Today, gold opened with an upward move toward 3350, but quickly pulled back. The recent market shows a sideways consolidation, with the $3340 level acting as a key pivot zone:
Below 3340: dense support areas
Above 3340: resistance clusters
In this context, any breakout without strong momentum can easily lead to capital flow shifts, causing false breakouts or rapid pullbacks, making trend continuation more difficult.
📉 Technical View:
On the 30M chart, bearish momentum slightly outweighs bullish, and gold is likely to remain range-bound within the zone defined yesterday.
🗞 Fundamental Reminder:
There are a few important U.S. economic releases during the NY session. Watch closely to see if they provide a clear directional push.
📈 Today’s Trading Plan:
📉 Sell in the 3366–3386 zone (resistance area)
📈 Buy in the 3278–3256 zone (support zone)
🔁 Flexible intraday levels to monitor:
3353 / 3341 / 3334 / 3317 / 3309 / 3296 / 3284
Trade with flexibility, beware of fake breakouts, and focus on NY session data-driven opportunities. Let me know if you have questions — good luck and happy trading!
xau live trade and educational breakdown Gold hold on to higher ground above $3,330
Despite last week's significant climb, Gold has begun the week on the back foot, with gains restricted around $3,350 per troy ounce. The recent surge in market mood makes it difficult for XAU/USD to regain momentum. Monday is Memorial Day, thus financial markets in the United States will be closed.
Bitcoin vs. Gold: Central Banks Pick Gold (Here's Why)
The debate over the ultimate store of value has been reignited in the digital age. For centuries, gold, the immutable yellow metal, has been the bedrock of wealth preservation, the trusted haven in times of turmoil, and a core component of central bank reserves. In the last decade, a new contender has emerged: Bitcoin, the pioneering cryptocurrency, often touted as "digital gold." Yet, as the dust settles on initial exuberance and institutional scrutiny intensifies, a clear preference is emerging from the world's most conservative financial institutions. Central banks, the guardians of national wealth and financial stability, are overwhelmingly demonstrating their continued faith in gold, signaling that when it comes to the ultimate safe reserve, tradition and tangibility still trump technological novelty.
The evidence for this preference is not merely anecdotal; it's etched in the consistent and accelerating trend of global gold accumulation by these institutions. In recent years, central banks have been on a gold buying spree, a phenomenon driven by a confluence of potent global factors. The shifting geopolitical landscape, characterized by increased tensions, trade disputes, and a move towards a more multipolar world, has spurred a desire for assets that are not tied to any single nation's political or economic fortunes. Policies emanating from major economic powers, including periods of heightened trade protectionism and shifting global alliances, have historically fanned uncertainty, prompting a flight to assets perceived as universally valuable and politically neutral – a role gold has fulfilled for millennia.
Furthermore, concerns over the long-term value of major fiat currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar which has long dominated global reserves, are playing a significant role. Persistent fiscal deficits, expanding sovereign debt levels, and unprecedented monetary stimulus measures in various countries have led to an undercurrent of apprehension about potential currency devaluation. In such an environment, central banks are actively seeking to diversify their holdings and hedge against the erosion of purchasing power. Gold, with its intrinsic value and finite supply, offers a compelling alternative to holding ever-increasing amounts of fiat currency, whose value can be diluted by policy decisions. This strategic de-dollarization, or at least a diversification away from dollar-centric reserves, sees gold as a primary beneficiary. It is a tangible asset that sits outside the traditional financial system, offering a layer of insulation from the counterparty risks inherent in holding other nations' currencies or debt.
In stark contrast to this institutional embrace of gold stands Bitcoin. While proponents champion its decentralized nature, its mathematically enforced scarcity, and its potential as an inflation hedge, its inherent characteristics currently make it a challenging proposition for central bank reserves. The most glaring issue is its extreme volatility. Bitcoin's price history is a rollercoaster of meteoric rises and precipitous falls. For an individual retail investor, this volatility might be a tolerable, even attractive, risk in pursuit of outsized returns. However, for a central bank, whose primary mandate includes capital preservation and maintaining financial stability, such wild price swings are anathema. Reserve assets must be relatively stable, liquid, and dependable. Bitcoin, in its current state, struggles to meet these criteria consistently. A significant allocation to Bitcoin could expose a nation's reserves to sudden and substantial losses, undermining public trust and potentially destabilizing its financial position.
This volatility poses a tangible risk, not just theoretically, but as observed in the experiences of investors globally, including those in the U.S. While some have reaped fortunes, many others have faced considerable losses due to ill-timed investments or the market's unpredictable nature. Institutional investors, including those in the U.S., while showing increasing interest in Bitcoin as a speculative asset class or a small part of a diversified portfolio, still largely treat it with caution. The kind of deep, unwavering institutional trust that gold commands – built over centuries of proven performance as a store of value and a crisis hedge – has yet to be earned by Bitcoin. Gold’s market is deep, liquid, and well-understood, with established clearing and settlement mechanisms. Bitcoin's market infrastructure, while maturing, is still relatively nascent and fragmented compared to the centuries-old gold market.
Beyond volatility, other factors hinder Bitcoin's adoption as a mainstream reserve asset for central banks. Regulatory uncertainty remains a significant hurdle. The global regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies is a patchwork of differing approaches, with some nations embracing innovation while others impose strict controls or outright bans. For central banks, which operate within stringent legal and regulatory frameworks, this lack of global consensus and clarity is a major deterrent. The operational risks associated with custody and security of digital assets at a sovereign scale are also non-trivial. While blockchain technology is inherently secure, managing private keys for billions of dollars' worth of Bitcoin requires sophisticated and untested protocols for institutions of this nature.
Furthermore, the narrative of Bitcoin as "digital gold" sometimes overlooks fundamental differences. Gold is a physical commodity with diverse industrial and cultural uses, providing a baseline of demand beyond its monetary role. It is universally recognized and accepted, transcending technological barriers. Bitcoin’s value is derived primarily from its network effects, its code, and investor belief in its future utility and adoption. While powerful, these are different underpinnings than the tangible reality of physical gold bullion held in a central bank's vault.
The actions of central banks speak volumes. While a handful of smaller nations or entities might experiment with Bitcoin, the overwhelming majority of major central banks, those that collectively manage the bulk of global reserves, have either remained silent on Bitcoin or have issued cautious warnings, all while steadily increasing their physical gold holdings. This isn't to say that Bitcoin has no future role or value. It may well continue to evolve as a speculative asset, a niche store of value for some, or a technology platform for new financial applications. However, the idea that it is poised to usurp gold's position in the vaults of central banks appears premature, if not fundamentally misguided, given its current attributes.
In conclusion, the debate between Bitcoin and gold as the preferred store of value and reserve asset has a clear, if perhaps unexciting, winner in the eyes of the world's central banks. Faced with geopolitical instability, the specter of dollar devaluation, and the enduring need for reliable safe-haven assets, these institutions are doubling down on gold. Its long history, proven stability, tangibility, and lack of counterparty risk resonate deeply with their conservative mandates. Bitcoin's volatility, regulatory ambiguity, and operational complexities, while potentially surmountable in the distant future, currently render it unsuitable for the core reserve holdings of nations. While U.S. investors and others may grapple with Bitcoin's risk-reward profile, central banks have largely made their choice, and that choice, for now and the foreseeable future, remains firmly with the ancient, trusted allure of gold.
Gold Pullback as Expected, Range Trading ContinuesAs I clearly stated last Friday, key resistances are located at 3366 and the stronger zone between 3376–3391. On Friday, the price peaked near 3366 without touching the second resistance band, followed by a pullback — a natural result of recent buying pressure being released and previous trapped positions being closed out.
🎯 Congratulations to those who carefully followed and executed the strategy — you should have captured solid profits from this retracement!
🔍 Current Technical Outlook:
✅ A wave of selling has already been absorbed. Now we watch:
Support strength — if key levels hold, scalping on dips remains valid;
Rebound momentum — short-term indicators favor a bounce, though medium-term structures are still being repaired;
Focus zone: 3355–3357 is a newly created gap resistance, critical for today’s action;
Previously broken supports (3346–3338 and 3324–3318) now serve as resistance and should be watched during any upside attempt.
📈 Trading Strategy:
Today’s price range is relatively contained — stick to selling near resistance, buying near support. If there are any major changes or new developments, I’ll update everyone in time.
XAUUSD:Go long at 3320-3325
Gold rebounded after stepping back near 3200 last week, picking up and rising under the influence of the news. Since 3200 stepping back formed support, coupled with the influence of long news, the day is mainly long.
The 4-hour chart shows the lower rail support at 3320-3325 and the upper rail pressure at 3360-65. You can trade around this range.
So the trading strategy: Buy@3320-3325 TP@3360-3365

XAUUSD - UptrendFRANKFURT (Reuters) -The euro could become a viable alternative to the dollar, earning the 20-nation bloc immense benefits, if governments could only strengthen the bloc’s financial and security architecture, ECB President Christine Lagarde said on Monday.
Unnerved by erratic U.S. economic policy, global investors have been reducing their exposure to dollar assets in recent months but many have opted for gold instead, not seeing a direct alternative.
In fact, the euro’s global role has been stagnant for decades now since the European Union’s financial institutions remain unfinished and governments have shown little appetite to embark on more integration.
"The ongoing changes create the opening for a ’global euro moment,’" Lagarde said at a lecture in Berlin. "The euro will not gain influence by default - it will have to earn it."
For this, Europe needs a deeper, more liquid capital market, must bolster its legal foundations and needs to underpin its commitment to open trade with security capabilities, Lagarde argued.
The dollar’s role has been on the decline for years and now makes up 58% of international reserves, the lowest in decades, but still well above the euro’s 20% share.
Any enhanced role for the euro must coincide with greater military strength that can back up partnerships, Lagarde said.
"This is because investors – and especially official investors – also seek geopolitical assurance in another form: they invest in the assets of regions that are reliable security partners and can honour alliances with hard power," Lagarde said at a Hertie School lecture.

Europe should also make the euro the currency of choice for businesses invoicing international trade, she said. This could be supported by forging new trade agreements, enhanced cross-border payments and with liquidity agreements with the ECB.
Reforming the domestic economy may be more pressing, however, Lagarde said. The euro area capital market is still fragmented, inefficient and lacks a truly liquid, widely available safe asset investors could flock to, she said.
"Economic logic tells us that public goods need to be jointly financed. And this joint financing could provide the basis for Europe to gradually increase its supply of safe assets."
5/26 Gold Trading SignalsGood afternoon everyone!
I just returned from a weekend trip and apologize for the late update today — thank you all for your patience and continued support!
Gold has shown mild downward movement in a one-sided consolidation pattern today. This is a technical pullback after reaching a key resistance zone, reflecting selling pressure at higher levels. Today is Memorial Day in the U.S., which explains the low volatility and reduced trading volume.
🔎 Technical Outlook:
Once gold reached around 3360, it entered a significant resistance zone. If bulls intend to maintain the current uptrend, then the support around 3272 will be a critical level during this pullback. Before that, we should also keep an eye on 3322, 3318, and 3298.
On the 2-hour chart, a bearish divergence has formed, which needs to be resolved, possibly through sideways consolidation or a further pullback.
🗞 Fundamental Outlook:
The news is relatively quiet today, but important economic data and speeches will begin tomorrow, which may trigger larger market moves.
📈 Today’s Trading Plan:
📉 Sell in the 3352–3368 zone (resistance area)
📈 Buy in the 3292–3272 zone (support zone)
🔁 Flexible intraday levels to watch:
3348 / 3332 / 3323 / 3312 / 3305 / 3296
Stay flexible and manage risk accordingly. If you have any questions or want to discuss your trading strategy, feel free to reach out. Wishing everyone a smooth and profitable session!
Here is the trend of gold prices in the next three weeks!The hourly level trend indicates that the current support position is 3310-3320. And it is the retracement position after the downward trend is broken. It is also a small retracement point after the rebound.
At present, the news trend is basically mixed, offsetting each other. However, in the following period, the growth of risk aversion will boost the rise of XAUUSD, and geopolitics is also an important influencing factor.
Short-term buying opportunities are considered at 3325-3300. The short-term target focuses on the pressure of 3375-3400.
Remember the core of swing trading. Follow the wave of trading. Do not trade independently to avoid losses. If you are not sure about the trading opportunity. Remember to leave me a message in the swing trading center.

Market Overview:
Gold remains in an overall uptrend, currently facing resistance around 3350.
At present, price is pulling back with key support levels at:
3333, aligning with a Fair Value Gap
3310, the midpoint of the base structure
3295, a major Order Block zone
Strategy:
Look for buy opportunities on pullbacks at key support levels.
Wait for reversal candlesticks or clear reversal patterns before entering positions.
Take-Profit Targets:
Initial targets: 3380 and 3400, which align with the Volatile Day High range
Extended target for the week: 3450, the Volatile Week High
Gold Eyes Breakout or Breakdown: All Eyes on PCE and FOMCTVC:GOLD OANDA:XAUUSD Gold (XAU/USD) surged above $3,350 last week, boosted by safe-haven flows following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and rising geopolitical tensions. Concerns over U.S. debt sustainability, weak dollar sentiment, and renewed trade risks kept investor demand for gold elevated.
Technically, gold is currently trading within an ascending channel. Price is now hovering near a key resistance zone around $3,364, while the $3,324 breakout level below may act as pivotal support. A pullback below this level could expose downside risk toward the lower channel boundary. Meanwhile, a sustained break above resistance may invite further bullish momentum toward $3,400.
This week, attention turns to key U.S. data including FOMC minutes, Q1 GDP, and the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge — core PCE. Any upside surprise in inflation may weigh on gold, while geopolitical headlines and fiscal uncertainty are likely to continue supporting the upside.
Resistance : $3,364 , $3,400
Support : $3,324 , $3,315
Rebound after hitting bottomToday, gold opened at a low of 3331 and rebounded, and reached a high of 3356 and then stepped back to adjust. The overall trend is the same as our weekend analysis. Last week, the overall technical side of gold continued to fluctuate upward with bullish momentum. The daily level repeatedly tested and stabilized at the 3200 mark at the beginning of the week, ushering in a bullish upward momentum. On Friday, it continued to fluctuate upward with bullish momentum relying on the 3280 mark throughout the day, forming a reverse medium-sized positive. The daily K-line closed with a shock upward breakout of the medium-sized positive. The overall gold price continued to fluctuate upward with bullish momentum in the short term, and it is still bullish.
From the 4-hour market analysis, pay attention to the 3378-80 line of suppression on the top, pay attention to the 3320-25 line of short-term support on the bottom, and focus on the 3300-3306 line of support. Rely on this range to maintain the main tone of low-multiple participation temporarily. In the middle position, watch more and do less, be cautious in chasing orders, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Go long on gold when it falls back to 3320-3325, stop loss 3307, target 3366-3370, break to see 3378-85
Gold bulls advance as expected Mainly go long on pullback.Today, gold opened lower and fell, reaching the lowest level of 3331. Then the bulls exerted their strength, reaching the highest level of 3356 and then adjusted back. The overall trend was highly consistent with the expected judgment. Looking back at the market last week, the technical side of gold continued the bullish pattern, and the oscillating upward trend was significant. From the daily level, the price repeatedly tested around the 3200 mark at the beginning of the week, and finally stabilized successfully, laying a solid foundation for the bull market. On Friday, it was supported by the 3280 mark, continuing the strong oscillating upward trend, forming a reverse middle Yang pattern, and the daily K line closed with an oscillating upward break of the middle Yang, fully demonstrating the short-term bullish pattern of gold prices, and bullish expectations continued to heat up.
Based on the current gold trend analysis, the focus below is on the 3330-3320 range support, and the focus above is on the 3380-3400 resistance. In terms of overall strategy, the bullish thinking is maintained before breaking 3320 to avoid blindly guessing the top.

Will Trump's Tariffs Propel Gold Past 3,500 ? Again ? On May 23rd's U.S. trading session, Trump's tariff announcements on the EU and Apple roiled markets like a tempest 🌪️. He proposed a staggering 50% tariff on EU products starting from June 1st, citing unfair trade practices. Meanwhile, he threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if iPhones sold in the U.S. weren't manufactured domestically.
This sent gold prices soaring sky - high 🚀. As a reliable safe - haven, gold spiked as investors, deeply worried about the potential global economic impacts, rushed to safeguard their wealth. The 3280 support level for gold, which had been holding firm in the preceding days, became even more crucial as the upward momentum strengthened, like a sturdy anchor in stormy waters ⚓.
If the tariff issue remains unresolved and tensions continue to simmer between the U.S., the EU, and major corporations like Apple, the upward trajectory of gold prices is likely to persist. Analysts predict a good chance it could break the 3,500 mark, as if a new peak is waiting to be conquered 🏔️. Tariffs disrupt global supply chains and raise U.S. inflation fears, driving investors to gold for protection against economic and currency risks, much like sailors seeking a safe port in a typhoon 🌊.

Going long on pullbacks remains the mainstream.Fundamentals: Risk aversion is still the mainstream in the current market; risk aversion funds and risk aversion sentiment are still dominant in the gold market; although risk aversion and bullish sentiment have weakened at the war and trade war levels; the overall global fundamentals have not returned to their original state; behind various small fundamentals, there is still the possibility of triggering various risk events
Gold continued to rise on Friday due to the rise in risk aversion caused by tariffs, and the price of gold continued to rise to around 3365, and the daily line closed with a full big positive line again. If gold can successfully break through and stabilize in the 3360-3365 range in the future, the bull market is expected to regain its dominant position.
From the perspective of the 4-hour cycle, the price of gold continues to rise based on the unilateral moving average. Although there is a temporary divergence in the current indicators, in terms of form, the price of gold has achieved a short-term break. Next Monday, it is necessary to focus on the support strength of the 3345-3335 position, and the upper pressure range is maintained at 3365-3375. Do not blindly chase the rise before successfully breaking through and stabilizing. In terms of operation strategy, it is recommended to wait for the opportunity to step back, buy on dips, and continue to be bullish on gold prices. If gold can continue its strong performance next week, it is expected to test the previous high of 3430-3440 again.
