Gold operation strategy, how to grasp the ups and downs of the mAt the end of the Asian market, spot gold maintained a sharp decline in the day. The current gold price is around $3,305/ounce, and it plummeted during the day.
Gold prices fluctuated this week, hitting a record high of $3,500/ounce, and then encountered resistance and fell to the $3,300/ounce level. The main reason for the record high in gold prices was that the market was worried that the Federal Reserve would lose its independence after US President Trump verbally attacked Federal Reserve Chairman Powell.
US President Trump said on Tuesday evening local time that he had no intention of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. Trump also said that tariffs on Chinese imports would be "substantially" reduced from the current 145%.
Quaid believes that the hope of easing Sino-US trade tensions has driven a positive shift in risk sentiment and a recovery in the US dollar. Investors used this as an excuse to take profits on their gold long positions.
Latest trading analysis:
The gold daily chart shows that the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) has fallen back from the overbought area to the bullish area. The latest decline in this leading indicator supports a new round of decline in gold prices. However, as long as gold prices can hold the $3,300/oz level, gold buyers still have hope.
If the gold correction deepens, gold prices may challenge the 21-day simple moving average (SMA) of $3,163/oz. Before that, the $3,200/oz mark may provide some support for buyers.
On the other hand, if the upward trend resumes, gold prices may re-break through $3,400/oz and then aim for the historical high of $3,500/oz.
Gold has been volatile recently. If traders are not doing well in gold operations at present, I hope Quaid's analysis can make your investment smooth. Welcome all traders to communicate.

Gold Madness –5k Pips in 10 Days,drop almost 2k after. Now What?The last 10 trading days in Gold can be summed up in just one word: madness.
Back on April 9, the price was still under 3000 – yesterday it kissed 3500, marking an explosive 5000-pip rally in less than two weeks. That’s over 15% gain in no time!
🔙 As I mentioned in yesterday’s educational post , even though I expected a major correction, the lack of a clear stop loss setup made me choose the safest option: staying out.
Well, Gold did what it does best – surprise. Just before reaching a new all-time high, price reversed and at the time of writing, it has already dropped over 1600 pips from the peak.
📉 From a technical perspective, there are some important developments:
- Price has broken below the rising trendline, signaling a potential shift on short term
- Now, it's heading towards the 3250 support zone, which is aligned with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the recent rally.
- This area could become a battleground – if bulls step in, we might see another bounce.
💡 Trading Plan:
From the selling side, the only potential setup I see is around 3450, but with a huge stop loss, making it less attractive.
On the buy side, I’ll be watching the 3250 level closely. If price action shows strength there, I may consider entering long – but only if the market conditions align properly.
Until then, I’m observing from the sidelines. No FOMO – just disciplined strategy. 🚀

Gold price plunged nearly $200. The signal of cooling down the tIn the early Asian session on Wednesday, spot gold opened nearly $40 lower and hit $3,313.51 per ounce, down nearly $200 from the historical high of 3,500 hit on Tuesday. Because U.S. Treasury Secretary Benson hinted that international trade tensions would ease, which stimulated optimism in the stock market and boosted the dollar to a near one-week high; spot gold closed down 1.2% on Tuesday, closing at $3,380.95 per ounce.
Bob Haberkorn, senior market strategist at RJO Futures, said: The latest remarks suggest that the trade war with the Asian giant may ease, but this is the time to start selling.
After Benson said that the tariff deadlock was unsustainable, the U.S. stock market rose by more than 2%, suppressing the safe-haven buying demand for gold, and the rebound of the U.S. dollar also suppressed the price of gold.
Quaid believes that its roller coaster trend is still continuing. I hope traders will pay attention to the speeches of several Fed officials later this week, hoping to find clues to future monetary policy at a time when people are worried about the independence of the Fed. And I will analyze it for you as soon as possible and give you reasonable suggestions.
Current strategy:
Relative to the market situation: as long as the price can continue to rise, it means that the current situation is just a volatile market, not a peak retracement, which is also a feature of the volatile trend; at the same time, the current market is not extremely strong after a sharp drop, and it is still in a volatile rise; therefore, do not go long, but go long after the retracement support.
Gold adjusts at a high level, continues to be short on rebound
Gold risk aversion eased, and gold fell directly. After gold fills the gap, if gold cannot continue to rise, then the gold shorts will continue to exert their strength. The current gap resistance of gold is at 3382, but the market is volatile now. If the gap is filled, gold may have momentum to repair in the short term, so you can pay attention to the suppression of 3400.
Trading ideas: Short gold near 3400, stop loss 3410, target 3370
Gold accurate top judgment and high efficiency one-way follow-upGold, the general trend is as described in yesterday's analysis. The market is currently in an irrational upward cycle dominated by risk aversion. Although there is no reversal signal in the daily chart structure, the price is running on the upper Bollinger track of the daily, weekly and monthly charts at the same time. The attached indicator is overbought, and we need to be alert to the risk of selling at high levels; on Tuesday, the white plate hit 3500 and then fell back. The 4H chart recorded the first entity engulfing and continuous negative in the past two weeks. The market outlook is actively bearish, and the initial target looks back at 3400; violent selling, a sharp drop to 3314, the idea is verified;
The daily chart transcribes a long upper shadow and a big negative, visible It is a signal of stagflation, so just follow the trend today; short-term resistance during the white session is 3350-3358, strong resistance gap 3366-3372 and 3314-3500 connecting 38.2% node 3384; short-term support 3330-3320, strong support 3314, break down to 3284;
Strategy 1: Sell near 3358, protect 3368, target 3314; hold after break;
Strategy 2: Sell near 3384, protect 3394, target 3314; hold after break;
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
XAUUSD H1 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS The gold market recently demonstrated a bullish trend, starting from the 3300 level. A bullish pattern emerged, pushing prices upward and reaching key resistance levels. The movement signaled strong upward momentum, with targets achieved at:
sdm: The market moved in a bullish pattern from 3370 to 3430.
This upward move confirms buyer strength and bullish momentum during the session
sdm: Buy Signal: Activated at 3370 when price showed bullish momentum and upward structure.
Bullish Confirmation: The move to 3430 confirms upward pressure and active buying.
Resistance Warning: If gold fails to break and close above 3430, it may pull back to retest lower supports (3370 or even 3350).
sdm: . Possible Scenarios:
Bullish Continuation (Breakout above 3430):
If price breaks above 3430 with good volume, next targets:
3450
3475
3500
Can the 3370 support level turn the tide?The Asian session low of 3413 rebounded to 3500 under pressure, and then fell back to 3370 in the evening, with a single-day fluctuation of more than 100 points. Since the 14-day bull market started at 2959 on April 7, the gold price has soared 500 points, and the short-term overbought has triggered technical correction pressure. The current market presents a strong pattern of "buying on every correction", and even if there is a long upper shadow, the bullish sentiment still dominates the market.
From a technical perspective, the support near 3370 is crucial. If it holds, the bullish trend will continue; otherwise, a break may trigger a deeper adjustment. Although there is short-term profit-taking pressure, the overall market is bullish. It is recommended to pay attention to the key support level of 3370 and be alert to low-long opportunities in repeated fluctuations.
Gold intraday high V reversal looks to continueToday's market analysis and interpretation:
First, the gold daily level: After closing with a full increase of 100 US dollars yesterday, it continued to rise by nearly 90 US dollars today. The daily line may not feel the acceleration, but from the weekly line, the trend of continuous large positives for nearly three weeks and an increase of more than 500 US dollars, it seems to be accelerating to the top; although the overall bullish trend this year will not be affected at all, in the short term, some bulls may flee due to the accelerated pull, that is, profit-taking, which is often more likely to happen; In addition, yesterday's research report focused on interpreting the trend of 2956 to 3500. It is very likely to cycle the previous wave of 2832 to 3167. The maximum retracement of 618 division position just confirms the previous top and bottom support of 3167. In addition, from the wave shape, if 2832-3167 belongs to the first wave, 3167 to 2956 belongs to the second wave, and the third wave is calculated by 1.618 times the first wave, it is exactly 3498, which is today's intraday high of 3500. Then the fourth correction wave may be brewing in the follow-up, which is generally the third wave 382 or 50 division, and it generally will not fall below the first wave high of 3167. Therefore, in the next few days, if 3500 cannot be broken through again, the correction will focus on the 382 division support 3292 and the 50 division support 3228. The limit is that it is unlikely to fall too far from 3167, and then Waiting for the opportunity of band bullishness, each squat adjustment is to further continue the bullish trend;
Second, gold 4-hour level: the current MA5-day moving average support is barely holding up temporarily, and the top is a bearish pattern of "evening star" with a large Yin wrapped in Yang. It needs to be combined with the subsequent K-line pattern. If there are continuous Yins and large Yins continue to appear, then this cycle will begin to be under pressure, and the MA10-day support of 3428 and the middle track of 3378-72 will be gradually tested below;
Third, gold hourly level: Asian session continues to rise sharply, but the European session suppresses the 3500 line and falls back, temporarily supporting the middle track. The inability of the European session to attack increases the risk of further downward adjustment tonight; once the middle track is effectively lost, it will continue to fall. Finally, tonight, we can gradually see the 66-day moving average, which is also the lower track of the white channel in the figure, about 3380; The short-term resistance is the 10-day moving average and the white channel counter-pressure point, concentrated at 3470-3480, which happens to be the 618 division point of the European session's decline and rebound; therefore, pay attention to 3470-3480 tonight. If it cannot withstand the pressure, it will continue to decline and gradually look at 3428 and 3411. The strong support is in the range of 3380-3370 tonight. If it stabilizes here, it will rebound to confirm the middle track, and the ups and downs will be huge.
Is the bullish trend about to end? No, go long on pullbacks!Today, after hitting a high of 3,500, gold began to pull back and adjust, and currently hit a low of 3,372. With such huge market fluctuations, only stable operations can lead to profits.👉👉👉
From a 4-hour analysis perspective, the short-term support below should focus on the 3370-3375 level. Pay attention to the important support at the 3340 level, and focus on the short-term resistance at the 3400 level above. In a market with sharp fluctuations, be cautious about chasing orders, and never trade with heavy positions. Wait patiently for a full adjustment before entering the market.

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 first negative line after three consecutive positive linesThe current gold market is facing dual drivers of policy and fundamentals. Trump's tariff policy trend has become a key variable. Coupled with expectations of a slowdown in the US economy in 2025 and rising global geopolitical risks, safe-haven demand continues to support gold prices.
Gold technicals show the first small negative line after three consecutive positive lines, and the correction signal is to be confirmed. The intraday shock adjustment is obvious, and the magnetic effect of the 3235-3200 range is significant. It is recommended to maintain the range thinking at the operational level. The upper resistance is currently at 3232-3235, and the lower support is at 3200-3195. Wait for the key guidance on Wednesday to clarify the direction. The market is in a sensitive period of market change, and it is necessary to focus on the pulsed impact of policy dynamics and geopolitical risk evolution on gold prices.
Operation strategy 1: It is recommended to rebound to 3233-3237 short, stop loss 3245, and the target is 3210-3200.
Operation strategy 2: It is recommended to pull back to 3190-3185 long, stop loss 3178, and the target is 3210-3230.
Gold rose by 100 points to a new highAs the former US Treasury Secretary pointed out, the Trump administration's erratic rhetoric and ever-changing tariff policy measures are gradually eroding the global market's trust in the US dollar. Investors are therefore seeking asset allocations with safe-haven properties. Gold, as a traditional safe-haven tool, naturally becomes the first choice. From the perspective of technical analysis, the bullish trend of gold prices is strong. After the opening, it has shown a unilateral upward trend, with significant intraday gains. In this market situation, it is particularly important to follow the price trend, and counter-trend operations often face greater risks. Based on the current market trend, the gold bull market is still expected to continue, and may even further hit higher points. In terms of trading operations, it is recommended to take a dip and buy more after a pullback to the key support level as the main strategy.
Today, gold rose to a new high, reaching 3317, and the increase was close to 100 points. The strength is beyond words. After the previous sideways accumulation, it continued to rise by inertia. It continued to be bullish and long. In the 4H cycle, it broke through the upper track of Bollinger, driving the moving average to turn upward, but the indicators diverged. It is prudent to buy more on the decline. The support below is maintained at 3288 and 3270. Buy more according to the strength of the decline. The upper side will gradually look to 3300 and 3320. Don't blindly guess the top!
Operation strategy:
1. It is recommended to buy more gold near 3270-72, stop loss at 3264, and target at 3300 and 3320! If it is very strong, rely on the support of 3288-90!
Gold is strong and faces adjustments today!For gold today, the morning surge and fall broke the pattern of the morning cycle rise, which means that this wave of unilateral rise from 3211 to 3357 can temporarily come to an end. This time the whole increase was as high as 146 US dollars, and there was no correction throughout the whole process. This kind of extreme market situation is rare in history. The bold ones will die of overeating and the timid ones will starve to death. It is very suitable for novices who have just entered the market. Blindly chasing more will have a miraculous effect, which is the so-called novice protection period.
As the market will be closed tomorrow for Easter, gold is destined not to rise like yesterday, but will enter a period of shock correction. The decline from 3357-3320 reached 37 US dollars, so focus on the pressure of 3342 and try to participate in the short position to see the decline. The strong pressure is at the high point of 3356-3357. If it does not break the high during the day, you can still go short; the support below is 3320-3305. If it touches 3305, you can go long to see the rebound.
Gold pullback corrects bullish trend but remains unchanged!In today's short-term operation of gold, it is recommended to focus on longs on callbacks, supplemented by shorts on rebounds. The upper short-term focus is on the 3350-3357 first-line resistance, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3310-3315 first-line support. 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 3355-3357, stop loss 6 points, target around 3335-3320, and look at 3315 if it breaks;
Long order strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3310-3315, stop loss 6 points, target around 3335-3345, and look at 3360 if it breaks;
Daily chart MACD double lines upwardThis week, the market focused on three core events, namely, the direction of Trump's tariff policy, the progress of the US-Iran nuclear negotiations, and the trend of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. Based on the evolution of these events, it is recommended that everyone should pay close attention to the trend of the US dollar. As for the performance of gold this week, we continue with our consistent views and adhere to the strategy of bullish but not guessing the top. The specific trading strategy is to wait for a callback before arranging long orders. Once there is an adjustment opportunity, we can go long on the bullish trend.
From the analysis of the 4-hour chart, the lower support is near the 3385-3393 line, and the upper pressure is around the 3440-44 line. Given that the current price is at a historical high, it is recommended to be cautious in chasing orders and wait patiently for sufficient adjustments before entering the market.
Operation strategy:
Gold is recommended to go long at the 3385-93 line, with a stop loss at 3378, and the target is the 3435-3440 line. If it breaks, continue to hold;
Gold opened higher this week with great momentumInterpretation of the news: U.S. President Trump’s extensive tariffs and uncertainty about his trade policy have disrupted global markets and dimmed the global economic outlook. This has prompted investors to withdraw from US assets. In addition, Trump's criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell last week pushed the US dollar index to a low in more than three years, making gold denominated in US dollars more price-competitive for overseas buyers. I believe that the recent rapid rise in gold prices is mainly driven by three aspects: concerns about the global trade war, a weaker US dollar, and risk aversion caused by the high uncertainty of Trump's policies.
Analysis of gold trend: The current trend of gold is non-technical, that is, hedging due to tariff conflicts. With the escalation of tariffs, gold continues to be abnormally strong. With a slight easing, gold will also fall back quickly. Although there was no major fundamental event last weekend, the overall market sentiment is dominated by gold mainstream hedging, and potential concerns about the US debt crisis and the credibility of the US dollar continue! Last week, gold adjusted in the short term, falling directly from above 3350 to 3284, and then quickly rebounded due to the influence of fundamentals, which basically met the expectations of the day, but from the closing point of view, the weekly line closed with a large positive line with an upper shadow slightly longer than the lower shadow, and after such a pattern ended, gold is expected to continue to hit a new high at the beginning of this week.
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;

Gold rose 90 points and then fell back? Maybe there will be a suIt rose from the early trading, rose to the 3500 mark and was under pressure, and then returned to the 3409 line at the lowest. If it does not fluctuate by more than 100 points every day, is it not the ultimate safe-haven asset? My heart really can't stand it. Brothers who have observed carefully should have discovered that the current round of gold rise started from 2961, and rose by 500 US dollars in just 14 days. Only when today's upper lead is really closed, can we say that the bulls will cool down a little!
But this is not the first time. For example, last week's weekly line retreated, and it was directly pulled up at night. This week's opening rose by more than 100 points. The current market retreat is to go long. No matter what point you are at, as long as it is currently rising, then you can only witness one thing, that is, rising!
At present, I am not optimistic about the continued decline. The market sentiment of long positions also leaves me no choice. The current long positions have not reached the top. The best opportunity is to look at the integer support of 3400, which may give the bulls an unexpected surprise!
I am Quide. Seeing my analysis strategy, no matter the past gains and losses, I hope that you can achieve investment breakthroughs with my help and turn every tide of the gold market into our wealth wave.
