Bulls Held Their Ground, But Will the Ground Hold Them?In the past two days, I've emphasized the importance of the 2480 support zone, suggesting that the price was likely to test this level before potentially reversing.
This prediction played out as expected, with XAU/USD indeed dropping to that specific zone.
However, my bullish outlook has shifted, and here’s why:
Failure to Break 2500:
Most importantly, yesterday the price attempted twice to stay above the 2500 level but failed both times. The second attempt was met with aggressive selling, and that time support zone was hit.
Signs of Distribution:
Over the past three weeks, price action has been sluggish, resembling a distribution phase rather than accumulation. The lack of momentum in making a new all-time high is concerning.
On the daily chart, while there is a Pin Bar that typically signals a reversal, it's of poor quality—featuring a red body and a large upper shadow ("nose").
In conclusion, I am now looking to sell above 2500, but I plan to keep a tight stop.
Best of Luck!

XAU/USD 04 September 2024 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
Intraday expectation, analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 23 August 2024.
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Price has printed a bullish iBOS.
After an iBOS (Internal Break of Structure) we expect a bearish pullback.
Price has printed bearish CHoCH which indicates, but not confirms bearish pullback phase initiation
Intraday expectation: Whilst price did continue bearish as part of bearish pullback phase, I am concerned that price has not, as yet, pulled back deep enough into either H4 demand zone or discount of 50% EQ, therefore, it is my view that price will seek further liquidity before a sustained bullish move to target weak internal high.

XAUUSD 4/9/2024 complex correction has ended?
Looking at H1, the complex correction process will create very difficult conditions for determining the specific structure of the wave. In such a situation, we will rely on the Fibonacci measure to determine the target price zones for the end of the entire correction process based on the previous up wave.
- With such an approach, I will determine the target price levels for this correction downtrend.
- Looking at the chart, we have a temporary 5-wave structure formed. We will rely on this combined with Fibonacci to set up trading zones
- Case 1 if wave 5 has ended, then we expect the price zone 2482 - 2479 to BUY
Case 2 if the price breaks below 2473, then the price zone ending wave 5 will be the price zone 2464 - 2467
- Above the strong supply zone 2510 - 2507 has not been broken yet, so this is still our target to SELL
- Next is the zone 2515 - 2518, this is the strong supply zone above that we choose to place a SELL order/

XAUUSD DumpLooking above us is a well refined zone from which we expect Gold to sell from.
It won't stop this sells until we've got to a 4hr zone that should be updated here also.
Simply wait for a confirmation at this sell zone, then get in as a swing or with a swing perspective at heart.
Whatever Gold does between Wednesday and Thursday will determine what price delivery will be at NFP.
XAUUSD: 3/9 Today's Market Analysis and StrategyGold technical analysis
Daily resistance 2550, support below 2450
Four-hour resistance 2501, support below 2490
Gold operation suggestions: Yesterday, gold fell rapidly downward in the Asian session, pierced the 2500 mark and quickly rebounded near the 2490 mark, and fell into a shock consolidation. In the European session, it once rebounded upward and pierced the 2507 mark, suppressed and fell into a sideways shock. Because the NY market was closed yesterday, it ran in a narrow range. The overall price showed a shock consolidation below the 2515 mark. Gold still has a multiple top structure in 4 hours. The moving average resistance has now moved down to the line near 2507. Gold rebounded below 2507 and continued to be short at highs. Gold shorts have not ended yet. Gold rebounds are opportunities for shorts. Gold is now building a top structure. Once formed, the decline of gold has just begun.
From the 4-hour analysis, today's upper resistance focuses on the opening of yesterday's decline at 2507-12. The intraday rebound relies on this position to continue to fall back. The lower target continues to look at a new low. The short-term gold price long and short strength watershed focuses on the 2515 mark. Before the daily level breaks through and stands on this position, maintain a short-selling strategy.

XAUUSD: Sell at 2505-2510 resistance zone, target 2490-2480Yesterday was Labor Day in the United States. The amplitude of gold was very small and we did not participate in any transactions. Today the market is back on track and it is time to open our transactions!
Gold fundamentals:
Tensions in the Middle East have escalated again, and risk aversion has rekindled.
Due to the recent positive economic data, the U.S. dollar index continues to rebound, and the ISM manufacturing PMI for August to be released today is expected to rise slightly to 47.5 from 46.8 in July, indicating that the manufacturing industry is recovering moderately, which will continue to support the U.S. dollar. rebound, gold falls.
In addition, the market expects that the United States will create 163,000 new jobs in August and the unemployment rate is also expected to rise to 4.2%. This reflects strong economic fundamentals and further boosts the dollar.
Gold technical aspect:
Judging from the Fibonacci retracement of the decline between the highest point of 2528 and the lowest point of 2490, 2505 is 0.618 and 2510 is 0.5, so this range is the resistance to gold's rebound.
Trading strategy:
Since the direction is clear now and 2505-2510 is the resistance area, we can sell in this range.
Continued correction from the level. Time to sell from the levelContinued correction from the level. Time to sell from the level.
The gold market is currently characterized by high volatility and uncertainty. Gold is trading at levels that can serve as both support and resistance, depending on macroeconomic factors such as inflation, interest rates and global economic instability. Investors will turn to gold as a safe haven amid the risks associated with financial markets. Analysts are watching how gold prices react to news of changes in central banks' monetary policies, which could affect its value in the short and long term. There is also interest in gold as a hedge against a potential recession.
Gold- Is crucial for bulls to maintain 2480 intactYesterday was another relatively quiet day for gold traders, with the price fluctuating within a narrow 100-pip range and ending with an indecisive daily close.
As I mentioned in yesterday's outlook, despite the recent weeks of range-bound trading, the overall trend remains bullish, and a new all-time high is likely on the horizon.
However, for this bullish momentum to continue in the near term, the 2480 level must hold.
As shown in the posted chart, this zone has acted as both support and resistance since mid-August.
My strategy for a swing trade is to buy on dips, ideally near the 2480 level, with a target of reaching the top of the range around 2530.

XAUUSD 3/9/2024 Downtrend is over?
Looking at H1 we see that the price has reached the target of wave 4 that we expected and then decreased near TP3. Once again I would like to congratulate all of us on continuing to have a big win near Full TP3.
- So now the price is completing the down wave 5 to then continue to increase
- Looking at the overall correction, we can easily identify that this is a complex correction with many intertwined correction structures.
- In a complex correction trend, it is difficult for us to determine when the new trend starts. But with real trading, we only care about the setups that qualify for our trading, I will not try to predict each wave accurately
- Currently, I expect the wave 5 target to end at the price zone of 2487 - 2484 and this is also our BUY target
- Above, I see 2 large supply concentration zones, which are the 2507 - 2510 zone, this zone is the target zone last time the price just approached this zone and was pushed down very quickly, and the 2525 - 2528 zone, looking at the chart, we see that the price was pushed down very deeply after approaching this zone last Friday. and these 2 zones are also our SELL target zones

On Friday of the last three days, gold was blocked near 2525 for the fourth time, and continued to fluctuate at a low level today. Due to the Labor Day holiday in the United States, the market trading volume has decreased, and you can sell high and buy low based on resistance and support. It is expected that gold will continue to fluctuate slightly.

XAUUSD: 30/8 Today’s Analysis and StrategyGold technical analysis
Daily resistance 2550, support below 2450
Four-hour resistance 2550, support below 2494
Gold operation suggestions: Gold has now formed a four-top pattern. Yesterday's daily line also rose sharply, but the NY market fell again. Today, Friday, is still a critical time point for the European session. The day is also the last trading day of the month and the key time point for the month-end closing. The market may reverse at any time, and stop loss must be strictly enforced.
Judging from the current gold trend, the hourly line continues to fall, and the target of this round of decline has not yet been reached. The support below is still to continue to pay attention to the dense trading area near 2494. Gold rebounds near 2525-30 and does not break through, so it can be shorted.

Gold- Drop to 2480 before reversal?In my Friday analysis, I mentioned that a break above 2530 could trigger an upward acceleration, especially since gold had been trading within a tight range throughout the week. However, this breakout did not occur. Instead, XAU/USD ended the week just above the key 2500 level.
As of this writing, the price is slightly below 2500, currently at 2496, and it may continue to decline. However, there's strong support at 2480, a level that has previously acted as resistance three times—in mid-July, early August, and mid-August. If the price reaches this level, I anticipate a reversal.
In conclusion, I'm looking to buy on dips, targeting a reversal that would push the price back above 2500.

XAUUSD:Bullish resistance 2513-2527
This week features a significant amount of data with substantial impact, which is likely to lead to considerable market volatility. This presents both risks and opportunities—if managed well, doubling profits is achievable.
In Monday’s gold trading, start by taking long positions since the market is still consolidating within a flag pattern and has not broken below the support near 2488. Focus on the resistance levels at 2509-2515 and then around 2527. This resistance level is well-known and has been tested four times without an effective breakout, so it’s prudent to trade within this range for now.
Given the recent instability in the broader environment, there’s potential for gold bulls, but this assumes further deterioration in the situation. If the market remains indecisive, bulls may lack the strength to drive a significant rally. From a mid-term perspective, I personally believe that selling at higher levels may be more favorable.
XAU/USD 02-06 August 2024 Weekly AnalysisWeekly Analysis:
Swing Structure: Bullish.
Internal Structure: Bullish.
Price has continued to print all time highs with no indication of bearish pullback phase initiation.
The first indication of pullback will be for price to print a bearish CHoCH which is denoted with a blue dotted line.
I have previously mentioned that price could print further highs which would bring CHOCH positioning closer to current price and this is what price printed again in last week's weekly analysis, However, CHoCH positioning remains the same.
Weekly Chart:
Daily Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
On Tuesday 20 August 2024 price printed all time high.
Thursday 22 August 2024 price printed a bearish CHoCH which indicated bearish pullback phase initiation. Printing of bearish CHoCH has also confirmed internal range.
Thus far, price has been unable break weak internal high which is an indicator that price may seek further liquidity before attempting to target weak internal high again.
I would expect price to either react at discount of internal 50% EQ or Daily demand zone before targeting weak internal high.

H4 Analysis:
Intraday expectation, analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 23 August 2024.

Price has printed a bullish iBOS.
After an iBOS (Internal Break of Structure) we expect a bearish pullback.
Price has printed bearish CHoCH which indicates, but not confirms bearish pullback phase initiation
Intraday expectation: Whilst price did continue bearish as part of bearish pullback phase, I am concerned that price has not, as yet, pulled back deep enough into either H4 demand zone or discount of 50% EQ, therefore, it is my view that price will seek further liquidity before a sustained bullish move to target weak internal high.
H4 Chart:
Continue to hold a bulls in the 2515-2516 areaBrothers, although gold once rebounded to around 2526, I explained six reasons in my private domain that gold cannot be shorted, and gold may challenge the previous high again or even set a new high. So I refused to short gold.
Gold once retreated to around 2515, brothers! Although I did not short gold, it is obvious that I seized the opportunity to go long on gold in the 2515-2516 area!
I cannot guarantee that gold will reach a new high, but I think gold will challenge the resistance in the 2525-2530 area at least once. Once it breaks through this resistance area, gold may continue to rise and touch the 2540-2550 area. So I still hold my long position now, let us look forward to the performance of gold together!
