Gold: A textbook example of an extreme short squeeze!📌 Gold has surged over $400 in just six trading days—a textbook example of an extreme short squeeze!
Yesterday, gold broke above the 3300 psychological barrier and is now trading above 3360. While safe-haven demand driven by escalating trade tensions is part of the reason, such a rapid and steep rally is clearly unsustainable.
⚠️ If you enter at these levels and get trapped, trying to "hold and hope" could result in facing $100+ of price swings—a dangerous gamble for most traders.
👉 Experienced traders might manage this volatility with scalping or short-term strategies to mitigate losses or even turn a profit.
❌ But if you don’t have that level of skill, don’t chase this rally blindly.
✅ Suggested approach:
Scale into short positions gradually, or
Wait for clear topping signals before going short
Missing this rally isn’t the end—some of the best opportunities come during corrections. Profit potential remains strong on the way down.
🎯 Bearish targets:
Short-term: 3312 → 3291 → 3250
Mid-term: 3196 → 3137

"Gold’s Bullish Structure Remains Intact: $3250–$3280 Key Zone Gold is currently undergoing a technical pullback near the psychologically significant $3350 level. Historically, price action around major round-number thresholds—such as $2950, $3050, and $3250—has been followed by corrective moves, a pattern that appears consistent. If this correction concludes with another $150–$200 upside swing, it would reinforce the prevailing structural rhythm. Traders should balance historical pattern recognition with real-time market structure assessment, avoiding overfitting while identifying key trend reversal opportunities.
Gold is currently experiencing a short-term pullback within a broader bullish trend. The $3250–$3280 zone serves as a key support and pivot region; a swift recovery above this range would significantly enhance the probability of a continued upside breakout. Short-term traders should closely monitor the price action near $3280 for potential long entries, with $3250 acting as the next critical support if a breakdown occurs. The broader strategy favors buying on dips, but caution is warranted due to the potential for unexpected macro shocks. Maintaining flexibility and strict risk management remains essential.
XAUUSD: 1H Channel Up bottomed and is rebounding for the new HHGold is neutral on its 1H technical outlook (RSI = 52.820, MACD = 3.110, ADX = 23.525) and as it just crossed under its 1H MA50 and rebounded, we have the conditions for the new bullish wave of the short term Channel Up.

Gold Price Surpasses $3,300 for the First Time in HistoryGold Price Surpasses $3,300 for the First Time in History
Just six days ago, we highlighted the historic breakthrough of the $3,200 level for the first time. Now, as the XAU/USD chart shows today, the price of an ounce of gold on global exchanges is fluctuating above $3,300.
Bullish sentiment is being driven by a weakening US dollar and rising trade tensions between the United States and China, which are boosting gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset. In response to these developments, Goldman Sachs analysts have raised their year-end 2025 forecast to $3,700.
However, technical analysis is beginning to flash some bearish signals.
Technical Analysis of XAU/USD
Using the latest data, we have drawn an ascending channel on the hourly chart that more accurately reflects price action since 8 April. Initially, the price moved within a narrow range, but after breaking the S-line, it found support (indicated by an arrow) at the lower boundary of the channel.
At present, there are signs of fading upward momentum in the gold market, as the price:
→ is failing to reach the median line (marked with a symbol);
→ is falling below the lower boundary of the channel.
After a rally of over 26% since the beginning of the year, the market may now be heavily overbought, and a correction could help “let off steam”. In this case, a test of the $3,250 level cannot be ruled out.

Gold continues to wait for a new ATH of 3381
📌 Driving Events
On Thursday, gold prices (XAU/USD) entered a consolidation phase, fluctuating in a narrow range near the all-time highs set during the Asian session, as investors digested conflicting market signals. Stronger-than-expected US retail sales data and tough comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell supported the US dollar (USD), curbing some of the upward momentum of gold. At the same time, optimism in the stock market and slightly overbought technicals prompted traders to remain cautious, currently limiting a new round of buying interest in precious metals.
📊Comment Analysis
Gold now continues to maintain its high strength, and gold is still in a bullish trend. The short-term correction does not change the upward trend of gold. The decline of gold is an opportunity to go long. The current price of gold is 3320, which is directly long!
💰Strategy
Long position:
Gold is long around 3320-25, defend around 3310 area, and the target is above 3340
⭐️ Note: Labaron hopes that traders can properly manage their funds
- Choose the number of lots that matches your funds
- Profit is 4-7% of the fund account
- Stop loss is 1-3% of the fund account
Gold’s short-term correction does not change gold’s upward trendGold continues to remain strong at high levels, and gold is still in a bullish trend. The short-term correction will not change the upward trend of gold. The fall of gold will give the opportunity to go long.
The 1-hour moving average of gold is still a bullish arrangement with golden crosses diverging upwards. The strength of gold bulls is still there. Gold has found support near 3320 and is rising again. The current rhythm of gold is to fall back and continue to go long.
Trading idea: Go long near gold 3327, stop loss 3317, target 3350

Gold has been crazy recently, how to trade it?
Gold's 1-hour moving average continues to be arranged with golden crosses upward. It is difficult for gold bulls to make a major correction. Gold's US market directly continues to break upward. Then gold's short-term 3317 will once again form a support. If gold falls back near 3320, it can continue to go long.
Although gold is going crazy now, when you are bullish, you should also pay attention to the opportunity for a pullback. Unless the strength is suddenly strong at that time, don't chase the bullish easily. Wait patiently for the chance of a pullback.
XAUUSD SHORTSolid market moves the past few days, I thought it was going to continue and it was safe because market started to stabilize again. However, as expected, one word from Trump and made the market spiraling again. Because of the hold on tariff announcement, we are now back to 3170 level again. Howver, for me, moves like these are always good opportunity for retracement. Opening at 3170// first TP at my prev opening then final at 3000 so we can still be in profit and croos out the previous one. setting a long SL on this one just to be sure at 3270. Let's see how this rolls

4/16 Gold Trading StrategiesYesterday, gold moved within a narrow range, as anticipated. After rising toward the 3230 level, it encountered selling pressure and pulled back, which provided us with some profitable short-term opportunities.
Currently, gold has broken above 3240 and continues to climb steadily. A conservative estimate suggests that a push toward 3250 is achievable without much resistance. However, this is a new high, and after a rapid ascent, it’s common to see profit-taking from long positions and short sellers entering the market from the sidelines. Therefore, chasing long positions at current levels carries increased risk and should be approached with caution.
Today’s Trading Recommendations:
Sell Zone: 3255 – 3270
A potential resistance zone where short positions may be considered.
Buy Zone: 3178 – 3158
Key support area for initiating long positions if the price corrects.
Range Trading Zones:
3240 – 3220
3188 – 3220
Suitable for flexible trading strategies based on real-time price action and candlestick signals.
Summary:
While gold remains in an uptrend, the market is approaching a sensitive area where both selling pressure and volatility may increase. Be cautious with chasing highs, and focus on technical levels for strategic entries and exits. The potential for a short-term reversal or pullback remains if resistance holds strong.
Gold has risen strongly again. Can it break through the 3300 resEvent summary:
The current gold market presents a triple driving logic: the global central bank's continuous gold purchases constitute long-term support, and the US debt crisis and the risk of US dollar trust form the core upward momentum.
Technical aspects show that the gold price rose strongly after breaking through the key resistance of 3275, and the continuity of the bullish trend is clear, approaching the high of 3300 US dollars.
Level analysis:
Gold continued to break through strongly, with the highest price reaching 3293. After the key resistance of 3275 was effectively broken, there was no retracement, confirming the continuity of the bullish trend. The current gold price has refreshed the historical high, and is only one step away from the integer mark of 3300 US dollars. The technical form shows that the bullish momentum is sufficient, but we need to be vigilant against the risk of high-level stagflation. The current upper resistance is 3295-3310, and it can continue to hold after breaking through the resistance line.
Operation strategy:
Go long at 3285-3290, stop loss at 3280, and look up to 3300-3310.
I am Quaid. After seeing my analysis strategy, no matter you have made profits or losses in the past, I hope you can achieve investment breakthroughs with my help and turn every tide of the gold market into our wealth wave.
The early bird gets the worm.The 1-hour moving average of gold has begun to turn upward. If the 1-hour moving average of gold continues to diverge upward, then the gold bulls will continue to exert their strength. After gold breaks through 3245, then 3245 has formed a short-term support for gold. After gold rises, we must wait patiently for adjustments and continue to go long.
Trading ideas: Buy gold near 3250, stop loss 3240, target 3280
4/15 Gold Trading StrategyYesterday, gold experienced a mild pullback and found support near the 3200 level. As mentioned during intraday updates, as long as 3188 holds, it remains a good opportunity to consider buying. Currently, the price has rebounded above 3220. From the candlestick formation, the trend remains strong, and there is still room for further upside. The previous high near 3245 is likely to be tested again, and there’s potential for a move towards 3260.
However, it’s important to pay close attention to the 3230–3240 zone, which was a key area of trapped long positions from last week. This supply zone hasn’t been fully tested since the last drop, and as prices revisit this area, those looking to break even may create significant selling pressure. If this pressure leads to a rejection, we could see a sharp pullback.
Structurally, a failure to break above this resistance could signal the formation of a short-term top, presenting a tactical opportunity for the bears. Conversely, if gold manages to break and hold above 3245, short-term bullish momentum may continue, though the 3250–3270 region remains a strong resistance zone.
On the downside, if prices retreat again and break below 3188, it will likely confirm a deeper correction. Key support then shifts to the 3158–3147 range, which represents a significant medium-term support zone.
Today’s Trading Recommendations:
Sell Zone: 3250-3270 – A strong resistance area, suitable for initiating short positions for aggressive traders.
Buy Zone: 3158 - 3147 – A technical support region ideal for light long entries if price pulls back.
Range Trading: 3240 -3200 and 3178 -3220 – These zones are suitable for flexible trading strategies based on real-time momentum and price behavior.
Summary:
Gold remains in a short-term bullish trend, but significant resistance lies ahead. Caution is advised when chasing long positions at higher levels. If holding short positions from the 3230+ area, avoid emotional stop-losses—patience could offer better exit opportunities as the market corrects. A bearish setup is brewing, and once a clear direction emerges, volatility may increase rapidly. Be prepared with a solid plan in advance.

📌 Driving events
U.S. President Trump said on Monday that he was exploring the possibility of temporarily exempting tariffs on imported cars and parts to give auto companies more time to establish production bases in the United States.
New York Fed: The unemployment rate is expected to rise to the highest level since April 2020 in March. In March, households were more pessimistic about employment and future income. The expected inflation rate for the next five years is 2.9%, down from 3% in February.
Geopolitical situation:
It was learned on the 14th local time that Israeli officials said that Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) still have great differences on the ceasefire in Gaza. The official said that compared with the previous negotiating position, Hamas seems willing to release more Israeli detainees, but if Hamas insists on requiring all parties to guarantee that Israel must stop waging war in the Gaza Strip after the ceasefire, it will still be difficult to promote an agreement. The official expects Hamas to respond to the new ceasefire proposal in the next few days.
📊Comment Analysis
The hourly level shows that the short-term gold price has fallen from a high level and gradually fell into a narrow range above the hourly 60-day moving average support level. The current hourly level indicators are narrowing, maintaining a short-term shock guide reference. The 5-day moving average and the 10-day moving average at the four-hour level are arranged in a downward cross, maintaining the four-hour level peak signal. The short-term decline gradually brings about the four-hour RSI mean reversion, forming a four-hour level adjustment trend. The gold price has risen and fallen to maintain a shock downward trend, which has not changed the medium- and long-term upward trend. Be cautious to maintain a bullish shock trading strategy during the day.

Aggressive participation at 3185-3195, profit target above 3210

Gold: Directional Break ImminentYesterday’s market remained calm without any significant swings, unlike the strong movements we’ve seen previously. Today, however, appears to be a critical turning point as the market prepares for a directional breakout.
📊 Technical Overview:
Gold is showing signs of retesting the resistance around 3240, while short-term support lies at 3194–3188. If this resistance holds and the price fails to break above, a double-top pattern may form—potentially triggering a major drop between Wednesday and Thursday.
If the price breaks above 3240, there may be around $30 of additional upside, but this is likely to mark the formation of a short-term top, followed again by a decline.
🎯 Key Bearish Target Zones: 3137-3106
Whether it breaks upward or downward, a bearish opportunity is building. Stay patient, follow the price action, and avoid emotional decisions to catch the move at the right moment.
Gold: It may Fall below 3180 todayOver the weekend, Trump announced a pause on tariffs for popular consumer electronics, prompting gold to gap down to 3210 at today’s open;
✅ Our recommended short entries at 3230–3260 are already in profit;
New semiconductor tariff announcements are due during the U.S. session today — the key driver for gold’s next move;
Given the fragile U.S. political/economic backdrop, escalating tariff conflict is unlikely, increasing the chance of bearish impact on gold;
With gold already trading at a premium, any "tariff relief" narrative will likely trigger speculative sell-offs;
If you're holding short positions, consider being patient — avoid premature exits due to emotional reaction to minor pullbacks.
Maintain key short entry zone: 3230 – 3260;
Expect gold to test below 3180 if market sentiment shifts
4/14 Gold Trading StrategiesLast Friday, gold showed a strong unidirectional rally followed by tight-range consolidation at high levels. Our bearish-biased strategy yielded limited profits, and some traders may still be holding trapped positions due to delayed exits. However, structurally, gold’s current posture signals early signs of exhaustion, and a pullback remains likely.
🔥【Key Headlines to Watch】
🇺🇸 The U.S. has suspended tariffs on popular consumer electronics, causing gold to gap down by $30 at today’s open.
🛠️ Trump is expected to unveil details on semiconductor tariffs — a reduction or pause will likely pressure gold lower.
💬 Two Fed officials speak today:
Barkin: Speech on “Navigating Through Economic Fog”
Cook: Remarks on the Fed’s evolving role in the economy.
📊 The NY Fed 1-Year Inflation Expectations report will be released — market expectations are bearish for gold.
🔍【Technical Outlook】
Gold remains near historic highs, trading at an extended premium;
The recent rally has been largely driven by speculative inflows, not solid demand;
If sentiment flips or profit-taking begins, a sharp sell-off could follow;
Structurally, gold appears to be forming a top — favor short setups at elevated levels.
🎯【Trade Setup for Today】
🔻Sell Zone: 3230 – 3250
Look to short near resistance on failed breakouts
🔺Buy Zone: 3128 – 3104
Consider long entries only on healthy pullbacks to strong support

Gold Maintains Weekly Bullish Structure Amid PullbackGold Weekly Technical Outlook
Gold (XAU/USD) remains in a clear bullish trend on the weekly chart, currently trading around $3,230. After marking a new high, price action suggests a potential pullback—a healthy retracement that could set the stage for further gains.
Key Levels to Watch:
Current Price: $3,230
Retracement Zone:
First support at $3,100, a recent consolidation level
Deeper support between $2,950 – $2,900, aligned with prior breakout structure and strong demand from earlier in the trend
These levels are key for a potential bounce, as they mark high-probability zones for buyers to re-enter the market.
Upside Targets:
Short-term resistance: $3,280
Primary target (by mid-May): $3,400
This level aligns with the projected extension of the ascending structure and continuation of bullish momentum
Technical Outlook:
As long as gold holds above $2,900, the weekly bullish trend remains intact. A rebound from the retracement zone would likely lead to a renewed rally targeting the $3,400 region.
Gold's main rise is not over yet, long is still the core strategHeading into next week, we maintain a bullish medium-term outlook on gold, with a continued preference for trend-following long positions.
Although short-term bearish attempts persist, the broader upward structure remains intact, with pullbacks presenting tactical buying opportunities.
Key support is observed around $3,200/oz, which serves as a strategic level for initiating low-risk long entries within the ongoing uptrend.
