XAUUSD|LONGHello to all traders. I hope you stay more disciplined to your trading rules this week. The price has reached a global high, so the main bias is bullish. However, after identifying resistance levels with Fibonacci, I expect a pullback first, then a potential rise at the support zone. Watch how the price reacts to support and resistance lines, and wait for your entry signal in lower time frames. This analysis is just my personal view.

XAUUSD Gold Bearish Setup for upcoming week.XAUUSD Sell Setup – Short from Resistance at 3350
Gold (XAUUSD) has approached a key resistance level around 3350, where previous price action suggests potential for bearish reversal. With the current momentum showing signs of exhaustion, we’re looking for a short opportunity from this zone.
Trade Idea:
Sell Entry: 3350 (resistance level)
Target 1: 3310 – Minor support / first reaction zone
Target 2: 3290 – Key support area
Target 3: 3250 – Major support & potential full TP zone
Stop Loss: Above recent swing high (suggested: 3360–3370)
Analysis:
Price has formed a potential double top / rejection wicks near 3350, signaling possible downside. A break below 3310 will likely accelerate bearish momentum.
Risk Management:
Use proper lot sizing and move SL to breakeven after TP1 for a safe ride to lower targets.
Gold prices continue to rise as profit-taking takes place? Will Gold prices fell from an all-time high of $3,357 an ounce after Fed Chairman Powell warned that the Fed's goals could conflict, sparking concerns about stagflation. Regarding trade negotiations, U.S. President Trump said they were progressing well, adding that he was very confident of reaching a trade deal with the European Union and China. This statement has boosted market risk appetite and hit safe-haven gold.
So the previous decline only reflects investors taking profits before the long holiday weekend. However, the weak dollar and trade tensions have kept it above $3,300 an ounce.
Quaid believes that there is no short selling, only longs, and there have been many one-sided markets during this period. Judging from the current trend chart, it is still running upward and has shown signs of rising bottoms, which shows that the bulls have occupied a more advantageous position. If the big positive line continues to break new highs next week, there will be an opportunity to continue to attack 3,400.
For next week, the bullish position of gold retracement is around 3,290.
Quaid wants to say to everyone: Before going out to sea, fishermen don't know where the fish are. But they still choose to go because they believe they will return with a full load. And you, my friend, don't know whether you can make a profit, but you still need to try. Success is not something that will happen in the future, but from the moment you choose and decide to do it, you will gain something if you persist in believing. The same is true for Huang Investment. You may still be confused at the moment, but as long as you persist, the problem will eventually be solved.
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
Trading suspension period. What is the future trend of gold?The dollar continues to fall. Fundamentals depend on Sino-US relations and economic data, especially after Powell's speech. The weekly close is close to the support level, and the decline may continue.
Gold recovers after shock. Fundamentals show that prices may continue to rise. The market will be closed for the next three days and traders will take a break. During the holiday, the weekend is full of too many unknowns. But from a technical point of view, the focus is on the medium-term level. Quaid believes that its upward trend is still strong.
If there is no supernatural event during the holiday, gold may rebound from the nearest resistance level in the Asian session and test the trend support level before continuing to rise. If there is any major change in the mood of the country/politicians, I will update my thoughts in time. Give traders time to adjust their positions.
#XAUUSD UP TREND Thanks for sharing the updated chart.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s going on now:
### **Current Context (Gold Spot/USD - 1H)**:
- **Price**: $3,327.38 (down 0.47%).
- **Trend Channel**: Still in play, though the price briefly broke below the lower boundary and quickly re-entered — a potential **fakeout**.
- **Corrective Structure**: The “(W)-(X)” label suggests an **Elliott Wave corrective pattern** (likely a W-X-Y correction). The price may still be in the “X” leg moving upward before completing “Y.”
- **Key Levels**:
- **Support**: Around $3,302 (same as the previous chart’s stop-loss).
- **Resistance/Target**: $3,380 — matching the top of the previous breakout attempt.
### **Trade Setup**:
- A long position is being considered with a bounce off the lower trendline.
- Entry around $3,327–$3,331 with target near $3,380.
- Stop-loss again around $3,303 — maintaining tight risk management.
### **Interpretation**:
- The market may have completed a short-term correction and is possibly forming a higher low (if “W” holds).
- A break above point “X” would confirm bullish continuation to $3,380 or higher.
- If price breaks below “W” ($3,302), the bullish structure might fail, and deeper retracement becomes likely.

Will gold experience a sharp drop?Hello everyone. Let's discuss the trend of gold today. If you have other ideas, you can express your different ideas in the comment area. Today, gold continued yesterday's upward trend and set a new record high of 3357!
But we need to be extra careful at present, because tomorrow Friday is closed all day, which means that today Thursday is the last trading day of this week. Currently, long positions in gold are likely to be profit-taking.
Once the long positions are profit-taking, it is easy to have a large retracement, so you must be careful about this and do not buy too much.
From the hourly chart:
Today's high point was 3357 and once retreated to around 3313. It can be found that since it fell below the opening price of 3342, gold has not stood above 3342 again.
This is a strong short-term retracement signal, especially when the long positions are about to be profit-taking.
Moreover, the hourly chart is currently a bit of abc wave retracement. Once it comes down, I think it is not a problem to touch 3300, and it is not ruled out that it will be lower.
At present, the MA10 moving average position below gold is also at 3300-3280.
Therefore, it is not recommended to chase long orders today, and you should be prepared for the possibility of falling to 3300-3280 in advance.
In terms of operation, I suggest that you can maintain the entry and short near 3340, and the target can be 3300-3280.
Gold: the upward trend continues. Don't try to guess the peak.The trade friction between the United States and China has escalated again. The United States has substantially increased tariffs on Chinese goods, and China has promptly taken counter - measures. As a result, the trade relations between the two sides have become tense. At the same time, the United States has also implemented a universal tariff policy on its global trading partners. Key industries such as electronics and pharmaceuticals are facing targeted blows. The stability of the global supply chain has been impacted, and market risk - averse sentiment has risen sharply.
Today, the upward trend of gold shows no sign of turning back. From a short - term perspective, there are still no signs of a peak. In the short - term operation, it is advisable to continue focusing on long positions. Currently, in the 4 - hour - level trend, after consecutive rallies, the price is temporarily fluctuating at a high level along the short - term moving averages. The short - term relatively strong technical pattern remains unchanged.

After gold hit a new high, it declined in the eveningToday, gold prices hit a new all - time high, reaching 3,357 in the short term. After a second test at 3,356, the market was mainly characterized by volatile pullbacks throughout the day. However, the overall trend remained strong, and the short - term volatility and adjustment might be for the purpose of building up momentum for further increases.👉👉👉
Recently, gold has set records again and again, and its huge fluctuations have tugged at the hearts of every investor. The market will be closed tomorrow. I hope everyone can really unwind, keep a good attitude, and have a pleasant holiday.🌞🌞🌞
Will gold still rise after correction? Market analysis referenceAnalysis of gold market trend:
Technical analysis of gold: Today in the Asian session, gold directly rushed to the 3357 line, continuing the previous upward trend. The spot gold price in the Asian session has once again hit a record high, breaking through $3350 for the first time. The US dollar index fell close to a three-year low, triggering a sharp rise in market risk aversion, pushing up gold prices. The current basic trend of gold rising has not changed, and the bulls are strong. However, from the perspective of time nodes, even if you are bullish today, you must pay attention to the adjustment space at any time. The Asian session hit a high and fell back, and the European session did not continue to rise but fluctuated and fell. Attention should be paid to the second bottoming out in the evening. In addition, the market will be closed tomorrow, Friday, and will not open normally until next Monday; therefore, today, Thursday, we must do a good job of risk prevention; such as short positions, such as adjusting positions, and so on.
In the short term, gold is now likely to start a large range of fluctuations again. The 1-hour inverted V trend has begun. Gold will either start a large range of fluctuations or make adjustments. If there is no support from bullish news in the short term, then the short-term gold bulls may be suppressed. Due to the rest tomorrow, do less and wait and see. Gold will be operated next week in combination with the news over the weekend. The recent market has been ups and downs, and I can finally take a good rest for three days to relax the tense atmosphere. The recent ups and downs of gold are like an electrocardiogram, which affects the hearts of everyone who pays attention to gold. It is mainly too active. Maybe you drink a sip of tea and smoke a cigarette, and gold goes back and forth for more than ten US dollars. So, don't be too bullish today. If you are bold, go short, and if you are prudent, just watch the show! Overall, today's short-term operation strategy for gold is mainly to go short on rebounds, and to go long on pullbacks. The short-term focus on the upper side is 3315-3320 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 3245-3285 support. Friends must keep up with the rhythm.
Gold operation strategy reference: short gold rebounds near 3315-3320, target near 3295-3285, and look at the 3245 line if it breaks.
Strategy 2: Go long on gold pullbacks near 3280-3285, target near 3305-3315, and look at the 3320 line if it breaks.
#XAUUSD:Time to Sell Gold ? Gold experienced a record high after touching $3358, but it subsequently declined. We anticipate further price drops until it reaches $3250, representing a 1000 pips move. We expect the price to remain bearish until it reaches a specific level. We appreciate your continued support.
Wishing you a joyous Easter.
Much Love ❤️

4/17 Gold Trading StrategyYesterday, the escalation of the tariff issue significantly strengthened bullish momentum in gold, leading to a one-sided upward move. There’s no need for lengthy analysis today — in this kind of market condition, the focus should be on identifying sell opportunities. A sustained rally like this is almost always followed by a correction, even without any additional catalyst.
Furthermore, today’s initial jobless claims data may provide an opening for the bears. Even if the data is bullish for gold, the likelihood of another sharp rally is low at this stage.
Today’s Trading Recommendations:
Sell Zone: 3350 – 3390
Ideal for initiating short positions as gold approaches extreme levels.
Buy Zone: 3268 – 3252
Key support zone where long positions can be considered upon a pullback.
Range Trading Zone: 3330 – 3288
Suitable for flexible intraday trades based on market structure and real-time price action.
Summary:
After a strong one-sided surge, gold is now in overbought territory. Look for short setups at resistance zones, especially with potential catalysts like jobless claims data on the horizon. A healthy correction is both expected and necessary before any further sustained move upward.
Technical indicators warn of the risk of a short-term correctionThe recent gold price has reached a record high, mainly driven by the escalation of global trade frictions and the expectation of the Fed's easing. Although the Trump administration has temporarily revoked tariffs on some goods, it has threatened to impose tariffs on automobiles, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. The repeated policies have exacerbated the market's risk aversion. At the same time, the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 100 basis points in 2025, and the US dollar index has fallen to its lowest level since April 2022, further supporting gold prices.
Technically, gold prices are facing short-term correction pressure, with the key position below being supported by today's lowest point at 3312. If the opening high of 3344 is effectively broken above, it may rise to the 3358-3370 range again. In the medium and long term, trade uncertainty and expectations of monetary easing will still provide support for gold, but we need to be wary of the volatility risks brought about by policy easing or a rebound in the US dollar. Focus on key price breakthrough signals and respond flexibly to short-term fluctuations.
Gold recommendations for the evening: Go long at 3317-3312, with a target of 3340.
Gold is strong and is adjusting today!The rise and fall broke the pattern of the morning cycle, which means that this wave of unilateral rising 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 will die of overeating and the timid will starve to death. It is very suitable for novices who have just entered the market. Blindly chasing the long position 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 price fell from 3357 to 3320 in the morning, reaching 37 US dollars. In the afternoon, we should focus on the pressure at 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 point during the day, we can still go short at night. The support below is 3320-3305. If it touches 3305, we can go long to see the rebound.
Gold hits new heights again, price correction may occurThe current consolidation fluctuations are completely in line with my previous predictions.
The market has hit new all-time highs again and there is a possibility of moving towards higher levels. The price has now hit the resistance area around 3320, which may mean the possibility of a correction in this area, creating long opportunities. The price has formed a sideways trend around 3220 points, which may be looking for a buy trade signal. In addition to these, there is an ascending trend line below the range, which previously served as both support and resistance. In view of the interest rate cut information released by the European Central Bank today, Quaid expects market volatility to increase. The expected target is the resistance area around 3390 points.
The market may continue to rise. On the chart, the price formed a strong positive line, which indicates the continuation of the upward trend. Currently, its price is retracing after hitting a new high. Some consolidation areas can be seen now, which play a supporting role in the bullish market. In addition, there is an ascending trend line, which has been broken many times before. I think that the retracement area of the previous volatility range may be a benign area to expect the continuation of the rise.
Quaid recommended:
Aggressive trades can be made by going long in the current consolidation area.
Smooth trading allows for part-time observation.
I hope this analysis can help you.
I am Quiad. Seeing my analysis strategy, no matter the past gains and losses, I hope you can achieve investment breakthroughs with my help and turn every tide of the gold market into our wealth wave.
Gold trend analysis and latest forecastGold directly rushed to the 3358 line, continuing the previous upward trend. The spot gold price has once again hit a record high, breaking through 3350 US dollars for the first time. The decline of the US dollar index is close to a three-year low, triggering a sharp rise in risk aversion in the market, pushing up the gold price. The current basic trend of gold rising has not changed, and the bulls are strong. However, from the perspective of time nodes, even if you are bullish today, you must pay attention to the adjustment space at any time. Gold rose and fell. The European session did not continue to rise but fluctuated and fell. You must pay attention to the second bottoming out in the evening. In addition, the market will be closed tomorrow, Friday, and will not open normally until next Monday. Therefore, today, Thursday, we must do a good job of risk prevention; such as shorting, adjusting positions, and a series of other measures.
A short-term correction or sideways consolidation is a bullish opportunity for the future market. The operation idea is still to follow the trend. Pay attention to the intraday low of 3312 and the support level of 3300 area. This is a strong support area. If it does not break, it will continue to rise strongly. If it breaks, the market will turn to shock. Look down to the 3293-3288 area, which is the 0.5 division level and the support level of the low point of yesterday's European session. If it falls below 3288, gold may accelerate its decline. Therefore, don't be too bullish today. Be bold and be cautious!
Operation suggestions: Aggressive strategy: Try to buy with a light position above 3300, stop loss at 3285; Conservative strategy: Intervene after confirming that the support at 3312 is effective, and wait and see if it breaks below 3293, as the market is changing rapidly.
Gold is strong and is adjusting today!For gold today, the gold surged and then fell, breaking the pattern of the morning cycle of rise, which means that this wave of unilateral rise from 3211 to 3357 can temporarily come to an end.

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, gold can still be shorted; the support below is 3320-3305. If it touches 3305, you can go long to see the rebound.
Gold Intraday Buy Setup from Key Support Zone| Targeting 3333 48This 15-minute chart for XAUUSD shows price reacting from a support zone after a bearish structure break. The market formed a bullish candle at support, hinting at a potential reversal.
Key levels:
- Key Point: 3333 – a crucial resistance to break for bullish continuation.
- 1st Target: 3333 – aligning with the key point, a breakout here would confirm buyer strength.
- 2nd Target: 3348 – next major resistance level.
- All Time High zone is above this level, signaling a potential longer-term bullish push if broken.
The current price action suggests buyers may step in from this support, aiming first for 3333 and then possibly extending to 3348.
Based on the chart setup and price structure:
🟢 Buy Setup (From Support Zone):
- Entry: Around 3318–3315 (current price area)
- Stop Loss (SL): 3305 (just below the support zone to allow some buffer)
- Take Profits (TPs):
- TP1: 3333 (near key point resistance — secure partials here)
- TP2: 3348 (major resistance zone — potential full target)
---
🔐 Risk Management Suggestion:
- Risk-to-reward ratio: ~1:1 for TP1, ~2:1 for TP2
- Once TP1 is hit, consider moving SL to entry to secure the trade.
It is critical to grasp the entry point when stepping backYesterday, the technical aspect of gold opened in the Asian session and immediately ushered in a strong bullish pull-up. The European session broke through and stood above the 3300 integer mark and entered a strong shock consolidation. The US gold price fluctuated repeatedly and stabilized above the 3300 integer mark and ushered in an accelerated pull-up. Finally, the gold price broke through the 3320 mark in the early morning and continued to rise to around 3350 and closed strongly. The daily K-line closed with a shock break and a long positive, and the daily increase reached 120 US dollars. The overall technical form has completely entered the rhythm of bullish squeeze. At present, all technical aspects are overbought, and short-term technical indicators are distorted. The overall rise logic is greatly affected by the external risk aversion sentiment. The bullish momentum still exists, and the retracement continues to look for opportunities to go long. However, it is worth noting that Friday is Good Friday, and today's weekly close will lead to profit-taking in the market.
From the 4-hour analysis, today's lower support focuses on 3310-3305, and focuses on the important support of 3293-90. This position is also the watershed between the strength and weakness of the bulls and bears during the day. Be cautious about chasing more at high levels. I will prompt you with specific operating strategies during the session, so please pay attention in time.
Gold operation strategy: 1. Go long when gold falls back to 3310-3305, and add to long position when it falls back to 3288-93. The target is 3345-3350.
Gold Price Correction Alert: Watch Key Fibonacci Support as Mark Market Structure Analysis:
Reversal Signal:
Gold recently surged to a new high of $3,357.6, then quickly reversed and broke below the early-session low, forming a classic “bull trap” or false breakout, suggesting a technical correction could follow in the short term.
Historical Pattern Recurrence:
The current price action mirrors the April 11 and April 3 market structure — early strength followed by steep intraday drops. This indicates a potential trend cooling phase or consolidation window.
🔧 Key Technical Levels:
Primary Support:
$3,292–$3,294: 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level, also the previous session’s confirmed support and breakout point, aligning with the trend channel switch.
Secondary Support Levels (if broken):
$3,283 (green channel line), followed by $3,305 → $3,292 → $3,283 as downside targets.
Resistance Zones:
$3,356–$3,358: Recent high and primary resistance
$3,344–$3,345: Intraday rebound resistance
$3,330–$3,333: European session breakdown level
📊 Trend Bias:
The current pullback is seen as a technical retracement within an intact medium-term bullish trend.
This is considered a consolidation phase, not a trend reversal, providing opportunities for repositioning rather than exit.
🎯 Strategic Trading Guidance:
For Short-Term Traders:
Monitor the $3,292–$3,283 zone for support confirmation. If the area holds, consider buying on dips with tight stops for a rebound play.
For Conservative Traders:
Wait for a breakout above $3,333–$3,356 before entering long positions to confirm bullish resumption.
Risk Management:
Set clear stop-loss levels, avoid chasing breakouts, and stay disciplined amid potential volatility and fake-outs.

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.
