The market trend is still there, go long on the pullback#XAUUSD Yesterday, gold experienced a V-shaped reversal: it was blocked at the 3382 line in the morning and then fluctuated and fell, then it fell to the support near 3349 and stabilized and rebounded, then rebounded to near 3390 in the evening and closed with a doji on the daily line. Judging from the overall trend, the bullish pattern has not changed. Gold has limited room for decline in the short term, and a sharp drop is unlikely. Today's market tends to adjust and correct first before continuing to rise. The adjustment is only short-term, and is more to give everyone enough opportunities to get on board. The focus of the market below is 3375-3360, with the target looking at yesterday's high around 3390-3395. A break is expected to extend to the 3400-3420 area. 🚀 BUY 3375-3360 🚀 TP 3390-3395

XAU/USD 06 August 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. You will note that price has targeted weak internal high on three separate occasions which has now formed a triple top, this is a bearish reversal pattern and proving this zone is a strong supply level. This is in-line with HTF bearish pullback phase. Remainder of analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 23 April 2025. Price has now printed a bearish CHoCH according to my analysis yesterday. Price is now trading within an established internal range. Intraday Expectation: Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,500.200. Note: The Federal Reserve’s sustained dovish stance, coupled with ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, is likely to prolong heightened volatility in the gold market. Given this elevated risk environment, traders should exercise caution and recalibrate risk management strategies to navigate potential price fluctuations effectively. Additionally, gold pricing remains sensitive to broader macroeconomic developments, including policy decisions under President Trump. Shifts in geopolitical strategy and economic directives could further amplify uncertainty, contributing to market repricing dynamics. H4 Chart: M15 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. H4 Timeframe - Price has failed to target weak internal high, therefore, it would not be unrealistic if price printed a bearish iBOS. The remainder of my analysis shall remain the same as analysis dated 13 June 2025, apart from target price. As per my analysis dated 22 May 2025 whereby I mentioned price can be seen to be reacting at discount of 50% EQ on H4 timeframe, therefore, it is a viable alternative that price could potentially print a bullish iBOS on M15 timeframe despite internal structure being bearish. Price has printed a bullish iBOS followed by a bearish CHoCH, which indicates, but does not confirm, bearish pullback phase initiation. I will however continue to monitor, with respect to depth of pullback. Intraday Expectation: Price to continue bearish, react at either M15 supply zone, or discount of 50% internal EQ before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,451.375. Note: Gold remains highly volatile amid the Federal Reserve's continued dovish stance, persistent and escalating geopolitical uncertainties. Traders should implement robust risk management strategies and remain vigilant, as price swings may become more pronounced in this elevated volatility environment. Additionally, President Trump’s recent tariff announcements are expected to further amplify market turbulence, potentially triggering sharp price fluctuations and whipsaws. M15 Chart:

Gold is waiting to break through near the dense pressure rangeGold (XAU/USD) prices fell slightly during Wednesday's Asian trading session, retreating to around $3,370, snapping a four-day winning streak. Previously, gold prices had hit a nearly two-week high on Tuesday. Gold's recent rally was driven by the Federal Reserve's policy outlook and safe-haven flows, but a recent shift in market sentiment toward optimism and a slight rebound in the US dollar index have put downward pressure on gold prices. Risk assets generally rose, including a rebound in Nasdaq futures, temporarily cooling demand for safe-haven assets. Furthermore, the dollar's slight rebound also put pressure on non-interest-bearing gold. Weak US data heightened economic concerns, supporting expectations of a rate cut this year. Last Friday's weaker-than-expected US non-farm payroll data, coupled with Tuesday's release of the July ISM Services PMI, which fell to a multi-month low of 50.1, have fueled market concerns about the US economic outlook. "Both the weak employment index and new orders suggest weakening momentum in the services sector, further strengthening the likelihood of a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve," analysts noted. The market currently expects the Federal Reserve to implement a 25 basis point interest rate cut at its September policy meeting, with the possibility of a total rate cut exceeding 50 basis points this year. While this expectation has dampened dollar bullish sentiment and provided support for gold, the optimistic stock market sentiment has weakened gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset. In trade-related news, the US President announced a new round of tariffs on imported semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, accelerating the pace of tariffs on areas such as automobiles, steel, and aluminum. This move has heightened market concerns about global supply chain risks, maintaining cautious investor sentiment and potentially providing safe-haven support for gold in the medium term. From a technical perspective, gold prices encountered clear resistance before reaching the $3,400 mark and failed to break through, shifting into a short-term consolidation pattern. The 4-hour chart shows that gold found support at the 100-period simple moving average (around $3,350) and rebounded, indicating that bulls are still trying to maintain the initiative. "Currently, hourly and daily oscillators remain positive, but if gold fails to hold above $3,400, it is likely to remain volatile in the short term," market participants noted. Upward resistance lies at the key resistance zones of $3,400 and $3,430, respectively. A break above this would open an upward trend, targeting the all-time high of $3,500 reached in April. Initial support lies at $3,350. A break below this would target the intermediate support of $3,322 and the $3,300 mark. A further break below this level could test the one-month low of $3,268. Although gold prices are currently under short-term pressure, they remain supported in the medium term amidst a slowing US economy, rising expectations of interest rate cuts, and ongoing potential trade frictions. In the short term, the price is expected to fluctuate around the $3,400 level. Focus on speeches by Federal Reserve officials and next week's US CPI data, which may provide new direction for gold.

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD August 6, 2025📊 ________________________________________ 🔍 Momentum Analysis • D1 Timeframe: Daily momentum is showing signs of a potential bearish reversal. However, we need to wait for today’s candle to close to confirm the signal. While waiting for confirmation, price may still experience a minor upward move on lower timeframes, but the current bullish momentum is weak and unlikely to extend far. • H4 Timeframe: Momentum is also preparing to reverse. We need to observe the current H4 candle for confirmation. Notably, the reversal signal is forming just below the overbought zone, suggesting there may be one more upward push before a potential decline. • H1 Timeframe: Momentum is approaching the oversold zone. It may take 1–2 more bearish candles before a short-term bullish rebound occurs. ________________________________________ 🌀 Elliott Wave Structure Update Yesterday’s bullish move was disappointing — instead of pushing directly to the 3402 or 3419 target zones to complete Wave 5, price only broke slightly above 3385 before reversing. This behavior complicates wave analysis by introducing conflicting possibilities. We currently consider two main scenarios: Scenario 1: Wave 5 is not yet complete • Given that D1 momentum is preparing to reverse downward, it’s unlikely that the current move is Wave 1 of Wave 5. A more likely scenario is that Wave 3 of Wave 5 has completed and price is currently in Wave 4. • The current corrective structure has stopped at the 0.382 Fibonacci level. As long as price remains above 3370 (the 0.5 Fib level), this strengthens the case for a Wave 4 retracement before another leg up in Wave 5. • Since bullish strength appears limited, we now focus on two main target zones for Wave 5: 3395 and 3402, instead of the previous high at 3419. Scenario 2: Full 5-wave structure is complete – now in correction • If the 5-wave pattern has already finished, the current decline marks the beginning of a corrective phase. • With current momentum conditions, this is still a viable scenario. However, due to the remaining upside possibility, we recommend waiting for today’s D1 candle to confirm momentum before taking any trade. ________________________________________ 📌 Trade Plan For experienced traders: • Wait for price to reach the 3395–3402 zones. • Look for reversal signals in those areas to enter short positions. Suggested trade plan for newer traders: • Sell Zone: 3395 – 3398 • Stop Loss: 3408 • Take Profits: o TP1: 3385 o TP2: 3370 o TP3: 3349 ________________________________________ ✅ Note: This trade plan should be reassessed after today’s D1 candle closes for confirmation of the momentum shift.

8/6: Watch for a Potential Double Top FormationGood morning, everyone! Yesterday, gold experienced its first significant supply pressure around the 3386 level, but with support near 3350—helped by positive data—prices rebounded and climbed back toward 3390, resulting in solid overall gains. From the 1-day chart (1D) perspective, the technical structure remains bullish, with MA20 providing firm support. Although short-term moving averages are currently converging, the overall bias remains towards a bullish divergence, suggesting further upside potential. There's a possibility for price to test the 3400–3420 zone in today’s session. That said, the 3386–3398 region may still pose minor selling pressure, although it is not expected to be particularly strong. Key intraday support is seen in the 3378/3372–3362 range. If the market encounters another wave of heavy selling that damages the daily bullish setup, then the 3343–3348 area will become a critical battleground between bulls and bears. 📌 Trading Strategy for Today: Maintain a sell-on-strength approach, especially if prices approach the 3418–3438 resistance area, where short opportunities become more attractive; If a pullback occurs, monitor the aforementioned support zones for potential buy-on-dip opportunities, contingent on stability. ⚠️ Market Risk Reminder: There will be key economic speeches during the US session, which could trigger heightened volatility. Ensure proper risk management and stop-loss settings are in place.

Gold rebounded near the key support level of $3,350.Spot gold edged higher during the US trading session after finding strong support near $3,350, reversing an earlier pullback. During the European trading session, gold prices briefly dipped due to improved risk appetite and a slight rise in US Treasury yields, failing to extend Monday's rebound. However, buyers stepped in near the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), pushing prices back from the day's low. The continued weakness of the US dollar, fueled by market confidence in a September Federal Reserve rate cut, supported gold's rebound. Spot gold struggled to extend last week's rebound and is currently hovering around $3,350. Last week, gold broke below an ascending triangle pattern, briefly hitting a one-month low, before finding support above the 100-day simple moving average (SMA), suggesting continued bearishness. Currently, gold is trading slightly above the 50-day SMA, providing immediate support, followed by the 100-day SMA. Further declines could lead to targets near $3,275 and $3,200. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is in neutral territory around 55, indicating a lack of clear momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD indicator shows a golden cross with the DIFF crossing the DEA, and the MACD-histogram is positive, indicating accumulating bullish momentum. However, the overall reading is low, and further upward momentum is needed. A sustained golden cross and a larger candlestick pattern would be bullish. On the upside, if bulls can reclaim the bottom of the broken triangle and decisively push above $3,380, the market could potentially move towards $3,450, or even revisit the all-time high.

XAUUSD 4H – Massive Sell Setup: Gold Crash Incoming? Gold (XAUUSD) just tapped into a key liquidity zone near the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at $3,364, followed by a sharp rejection. This aligns with the upper channel resistance and a bearish confluence from previous supply zones. Price has failed to break above the dynamic EMA cluster and is showing signs of exhaustion after a relief rally. If momentum follows through, this could mark the beginning of a deeper selloff targeting major downside levels. Short Setup Entry: Around $3,349–$3,364 (rejection zone) SL: Above $3,379 🚨Strong bearish engulfing candle confirms seller pressure 🎯 Take Profit Targets (Fibonacci): TP1: $3,305 (38.2%) TP2: $3,275 (61.8%) TP3: $3,241 (Full move – 100% Fibonacci extension) This setup offers high risk-reward if the rejection holds and price breaks below the mid-zone structure at $3,330. A drop below $3,305 could accelerate the move as liquidity gets swept.

Gold Eyes QML Resistance: Ready for a PullbackHelloooo! Gold, after gapping up strongly, has now entered the green QML (Quasimodo Level) supply zone at roughly 3,380–3,390. This zone has acted as resistance before, so a reaction here makes perfect sense. What I see: Engulfed Level (3,315.66): Earlier support that got taken out. This is our logical pullback target once the QML zone does its job. Hurricane Move: The big up-spike looks exhausted now that it’s hit the QML. Bearish Reversal Odds: if sellers step in around current levels, expect a drop back toward 3,315. Plan: Watch for bearish candles or a failed rally inside the 3,380–3,390 area. If we see clear rejection, target a swift move down to 3,315, with a further slide possible to the 3,260 demand zone if momentum holds.

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD, August 5, 2025📊 ________________________________________ 🔍 Momentum Analysis: • D1 Timeframe: Momentum has entered the overbought zone. As anticipated in previous plans, we've seen four consecutive bullish days, and the current overbought condition signals that bullish momentum is weakening. • H4 Timeframe: Momentum is reversing downward → We expect a potential pullback today, at least until the US session. • H1 Timeframe: Momentum is also turning down → This supports the possibility of a short-term pullback on the H1 chart. ________________________________________ 🌀 Wave Structure Analysis: Currently, there are two key scenarios to consider: ✅ Scenario 1 – ABC Correction Structure (black labels): • If this is a C wave completing an ABC correction, the current bullish move is likely over. • In this case, price may break below the 3315 support zone, resuming the medium-term bearish trend. ✅ Scenario 2 – Impulse Wave 12345 (black labels): • If this is wave 5 of a 5-wave impulse, the uptrend may not be complete yet. • Currently, wave 5 has reached its first target at 3385, however, we must still watch for an extended target around 3402. • Notably, wave 4 took the form of a triangle. According to Elliott Wave theory, when wave 4 is a triangle, wave 5 typically travels a distance equal to the triangle’s maximum height → This makes 3385 a highly probable peak area. ________________________________________ 🧭 Trade Plan (Reference Only): 🔹 Sell Setup #1 – Near Potential Wave 5 Top: • Sell Zone: 3375 – 3378 • Stop Loss: 3387 • TP1: 3365 • TP2: 3344 • TP3: 3333 🔹 Sell Setup #2 – In Case of Extended Wave 5: • Sell Zone: 3400 – 3402 • Stop Loss: 3410 • TP1: 3385 • TP2: 3368 • TP3: 3333

XAUUSD – Is This a Short-Term Top?1. What happened yesterday After dipping to 3340 in early trading—just shy of the key 3335 support where I was looking to buy—Gold resumed its bullish momentum that began on Friday. During the New York session, price spiked to a new intraday high near 3385. However, the final hour brought a pullback, and since then, Gold has entered a tight consolidation range. 2. Key question: Is Gold forming a short-term top? The 1H chart shows a new failed breakout attempt above 3380 during the Asian session. This left behind a minor double top, with the neckline sitting around 3370. That level is especially important—it aligns with a short-term rising trendline. 3. Why a correction might follow • Price rejected above 3380 twice • Small double top visible on LTF • 3370 is a make-or-break level (neckline + trendline) • A break below could trigger a correction of the +1000 pips rally from Friday’s lows 4. Trade plan While there is some evidence of a potential top, this remains a high-risk and aggressive short. Any attempt to trade against the trend should be done with tight stops and small size . 5. Final thoughts A short-term top could indeed be in place, but Gold must break below 3370 to unlock deeper downside. Until then, the bulls are still in control—just taking a breather. ⚖️ Disclosure: I am part of TradeNation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analyses and educational articles.

Can technical factors boost gold? (Must-read for traders)After three consecutive days of strong rebounds, spot gold has entered a period of sideways trading, trading around $3,370 in the European session, with a short-term seesaw pattern. A slight rebound in the US dollar index has weighed on gold prices, but market expectations of a September Fed rate cut remain supportive. Furthermore, lingering global trade uncertainty has prevented a significant decline in safe-haven demand. Fundamentals: Gold's recent upward momentum has been driven by weak US economic data and rising expectations of rate cuts. Last week's non-farm payroll data showed a significant weakening in the labor market, reinforcing market bets that the Fed will begin another round of rate cuts in September. The CME FedWatch tool shows that the market's expectation of a September rate cut has exceeded 90%. Meanwhile, US factory orders plummeted 4.8% in June, further highlighting economic weakness. On the other hand, US President Trump signed an executive order last week raising tariffs on imports from dozens of countries, with the minimum tariff rate reaching 15% for countries with trade deficits with the US. With these measures about to take effect, this uncertainty continues to weigh on global market sentiment and supports gold's safe-haven properties. However, a slight rebound in the US dollar partially offset gold's upward momentum. Traders will be watching the upcoming US ISM Services PMI data to determine whether the economic slowdown has spread to the services sector. Technical Analysis: On the daily chart, gold prices have recently traded between the middle and upper Bollinger Bands (3343.59) and 3411.09, failing to break through key resistance. The overall trend remains within the medium-term range, with no clear trend emerging. The recent candlestick chart pattern forms a typical "sideways fluctuation" pattern, indicating significant pressure near the previous high of 3438.80, while the lower Bollinger Band (3276.09) provides support, suggesting a short-term "box consolidation" pattern. On the MACD indicator, the fast and slow lines are near the zero axis, while the DIFF and DEA lines have formed a slight golden cross, but the angle is gentle. The red bar has limited momentum, indicating insufficient upward momentum and a lack of a strong rebound. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained at 54.81, within the neutral to strong range, indicating a lack of clear short-term price direction. Market sentiment remains cautious. Further attention will be paid to whether the price stabilizes above the middle Bollinger Band or retreats to test previous support levels. Market Sentiment Observation: Current gold market sentiment is cautiously optimistic. Traders are pricing in a high level of interest in the Federal Reserve's rate cut, driving a short-term rebound in gold prices. However, the dollar's resilience remains, limiting gold's upside potential. Indicators show a lack of significant inflows into gold ETFs, suggesting the market has not yet fully shifted to a defensive position. The technical chart shows a typical "consolidation platform," indicating that the market is awaiting clearer policy or data guidance. Investors remain interested in safe-haven assets, but their willingness to chase higher prices is weak. In the short term, market sentiment may continue to be constrained by fluctuations in external macroeconomic data and shifting policy expectations. Market Outlook: Bull Perspective: Analysts believe that if gold prices break through the upper Bollinger Band at 3411.09 and the MACD indicator expands, further upside potential is expected, with the previous high of $3450 in sight. If the Federal Reserve signals a clear interest rate cut or if the US economy continues to weaken, gold could see a mid-term trend reversal and resume its upward trend. Bear Perspective: Analysts believe that if gold prices remain constrained in the 3400-3411 range and fall below the middle Bollinger Band and moving average support, a short-term pullback could occur, testing the lower support band at $3276. If the ISM Services PMI exceeds expectations and the US dollar strengthens again, gold could return to bearish momentum.

Technical indicators are bullish across the boardInfluenced by the NFP data, gold prices rose strongly, fully recovering last week's losses. The current gold market has broken the previous bull-bear equilibrium and remains in a strong upward trend. We are currently bullish but will not chase the rise. We will wait for gold to fall back and stabilize before trying to go long. Gold is currently in a sideways consolidation. If gold touches the upper short-term resistance of 3365-3370 again in the European session and encounters resistance and pressure, you can consider shorting with a light position and waiting for a pullback. If the gold price breaks up strongly, pay attention to the key suppression level above 3375-3385. As the price of gold continues to rise, the support has moved up. Pay attention to the short-term support of 3345-3330 below. If it retreats and stabilizes, you can consider going long. Independent traders must strictly implement trading plans, and those who are not sure about the market must set stop-loss orders. OANDA:XAUUSD

Gold price today August 5: strong reversalWorld gold prices unexpectedly reversed sharply, as Europe and the US continued to release poor economic data. Specifically, the European economic area announced the investor confidence index released monthly by Sentix GmbH, August at a decrease of 3.7 points, much lower than the increase of 4.5 points in July. In the US, factory orders released monthly by the US Census Bureau, measuring the change in the value of new orders for goods purchased at US factories, decreased by 4.8% in June compared to the previous month. Although slightly higher than the forecast of a decrease of 4.9%, it decreased sharply compared to the increase of 8.3% in May. Thus, both the US and the European region are showing weaknesses in economic development. Because new orders in the US are considered a forward-looking indicator of upcoming demand for manufactured goods. Falling orders indicate that the production and business activities of US enterprises will face difficulties in operation.

8/5: Watch for Short Opportunities Near 3400Good morning, everyone! On Wednesday, gold held above the key support area at 3343–3337, and subsequently broke through the 3372–3378 resistance zone, leading to a strong bullish move and solid long-side gains. Today, attention should shift to the major resistance around 3400. If bullish momentum continues, price may approach the secondary resistance near 3420. However, from a technical perspective, signs of bearish divergence have begun to emerge. Should price continue rising while momentum weakens, the risk of a short-term correction increases accordingly. Key levels to monitor: Primary resistance zone: 3404–3416 Intermediate supply area: around 3398 Crucial support zone: 3372–3363 (a hold here could support further upside) ⚠️ Cautionary Note: The US PMI data release during the New York session could introduce volatility. Be sure to maintain strict risk management and stop-loss discipline during periods of increased uncertainty. 🔁 Trading Bias for Today: Prefer selling into strength near resistance, while cautiously considering buying on dips near support. The 3343–3337 area continues to serve as the primary support zone, and price action around this level will be critical in determining the next directional move
