How will gold go? Trader Quaid explains it for youIf there is positive news on the US-China trade situation or profit-taking selling pressure breaks out, it may trigger a sell-off.
Gold prices have risen by nearly $700 this year, with tariff wars, expectations of rate cuts and strong central bank buying all helping.
The current market trend has become a little out of control and there is a risk of correction. However, the correction we have seen in more than a year has not been large, and every time the market falls back, there is buying waiting behind it.
The upward trend in gold prices remains, and buyers are paying attention to the $3,370/ounce level. If it breaks through this level, gold prices will target the $3,400/ounce mark. If gold strengthens further, bulls will further look to key psychological levels such as $3,450/ounce and $3,500/ounce.
On the contrary, if gold prices fall below $3,300/ounce, the first support level will be $3,229/ounce, followed by $3,200/ounce.
I hope this analysis can help you.
I am Quaid. After seeing my analysis strategy, no matter your past gains and losses, I hope that you can achieve an investment breakthrough with my help and turn every tide in the gold market into our wealth wave.

Gold is bullish but not high, but be careful to adjust the risk!
📌 Driving Event
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell made a clear statement at the Chicago Economic Club on Wednesday (April 16) that he would wait for more economic data to be released before deciding the direction of interest rate adjustment. He particularly emphasized that the recent market volatility is a reasonable response to the Trump administration's tariff policy, and bluntly denied the possibility of "Federal Reserve support". This hawkish speech directly led to
the expansion of the decline in US stocks and the continued surge in gold.
The US dollar index has risen in the past two days, and with the increase in tariff policies, there will be no unfavorable factors if the game between major powers does not stop.
📊 Commentary Analysis
Gold continued to rise unilaterally in the past two days, especially the full-day increase of more than 100 US dollars on Wednesday, which almost beat the shorts without any ability to fight back. At present, gold continues to rise and fall, setting new highs, and there is no way to see where the high point is in this rally. For the current market, the only effective trading strategy is to go long on the decline and continue to be bullish. If there is no adjustment and decline space, it is better not to trade.
Even if you are bullish today, you should be aware that there will be room for adjustment at any time. If it falls below 3320, it will not be very strong. If it falls below 3280, gold may fall in retaliation. Therefore, don't be too bullish today and pay attention to the risk of high gold prices. Moreover, Friday is Good Friday, and the US market will be closed for one day. Beware of the risk of closing positions after long positions are profited. 🔶Personal

Long position:
Gold is long near 3330-35, defend near 3320 area, and target 3360

Gold has been crazy recently, how to trade it?
Gold's 1-hour moving average continues to be arranged with golden crosses upward. It is difficult for gold bulls to make a major correction. Gold's US market directly continues to break upward. Then gold's short-term 3317 will once again form a support. If gold falls back near 3320, it can continue to go long.
Although gold is going crazy now, when you are bullish, you should also pay attention to the opportunity for a pullback. Unless the strength is suddenly strong at that time, don't chase the bullish easily. Wait patiently for the chance of a pullback.
Bulls meet risk aversion to set new highsFrom the 4-hour analysis, the current gold bulls continue to sprint. For the time being, we will focus on the short-term suppression of 3290 and 3300 on the upper side. We will focus on the short-term support of 3268-70 on the lower side. The operation is mainly to go long when the price falls back.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Go long when the price falls back to 3268-3270, and add more positions when the price falls back to 3245. Stop loss is 3237, and the target is 3335-3345. Continue to hold if the price breaks through.

#XAUUSD: Possible Easy 600+ Pips Buying OpportunityFollowing a substantial decline in gold prices, which dropped more than 1000 pips, there is a possibility that the price may experience a minor correction before resuming its downward trajectory. It is imperative to acknowledge that trading gold in the current market conditions carries significant risks, and there is a substantial likelihood of incurring substantial losses.
Good luck and trade safe!

#XAUUSD: Last Four Analysis Helped US Gain Over 4000+ Pips!Next?Our previous four analysis has yielded a substantial gain of over 4,000 pips. Analysing the current market situation, we anticipate that the price may either experience a significant drop or continue its upward trajectory.
Should a resolution be achieved between the trade tariffs imposed by China and the United States, we anticipate a substantial decline in gold prices. Conversely, if the situation remains unchanged, which is the more probable outcome at present, we will have two potential trading opportunities.
The first entry involves the assumption that the price will remain unchanged and continue its upward trend. The second entry is contingent upon a correction in the price.
We extend our best wishes and express our gratitude for your unwavering support throughout our endeavours. We sincerely hope that this analysis will serve as a valuable guide for your own trading endeavours.

GOLD Trending Higher - Can buyers push toward 3,300$?OANDA:XAUUSD is trading within a well-defined ascending channel, with price action consistently respecting both the upper and lower boundaries. The recent bullish momentum indicates that buyers are in control, suggesting a potential continuation.
The price has recently broken above a key resistance zone and may come back for a retest. If this level holds as support, it would reinforce the bullish structure and increase the likelihood of a move toward the 3,300 target , which aligns with the channel’s upper boundary.
As long as the price remains above this support zone, the bullish outlook stays intact. However, a failure to hold above this level could invalidate the bullish scenario and increase the likelihood of a pullback toward the channel’s lower boundary.
Remember, always confirm your setups and use proper risk management.
XAUUSD Today's strategyIn the gold market, after the opening of today's early trading session, the bullish momentum was strongly released again. The price continuously broke through the previous high of $3,245 and reached around $3,317 at its highest point, demonstrating the dominant and strong position of the bulls. At the same time, it also pushed the market's risk aversion sentiment to its peak.
Given the significant upward surge in the early trading session, the performance of the European trading session has become a key point of observation. If the European trading session maintains a narrow sideways oscillation pattern, there may be a new upward trend during the US trading session. It is necessary to focus on the adjustment range of the bullish retracement. In the current high-volatility environment, the decline may only be a technical correction, rather than a signal of a trend reversal.
It is worth noting that after the gold price broke through the psychological integer barrier of $3,000, the resistance levels above have significantly weakened. Based on a comprehensive analysis and judgment, it is recommended to seize the opportunity to place long positions after the price corrects, so as to capture the subsequent upward space.

Gold continues to surge to new highs! Market analysis referenceToday's Asian session has directly pulled up from yesterday's multiple rebound highs near 3230. The current relative low has risen by nearly 80 points, and there is a trend of further hitting new highs. Once it breaks the high again, it will continue to hit the 3330-50 line. We have analyzed before that the next big target of the weekly pattern and segmentation cycle is to look at 3400. It is estimated that it will reach it after a few waves of pull-ups. The weekly line last week's big positive also needs to rise inertia this week. The current focus of the day is still on falling back to do more.
After the Asian session gold price rose sharply, the European session trend is crucial. If the European session maintains a small sideways fluctuation, then the US session is likely to launch an upward attack again. What needs to be focused on now is the extent of the bulls' callback repair. In view of the current volatile market, the decline of tens of dollars may just be a normal adjustment of the bulls, not a trend reversal. The current support below can refer to the afternoon low of 3280, which can also be used as an important reference for European session operations. The key watershed below may be at the previous top and bottom conversion position of 3245, while the upper key pressure is focused on the 3330-3350 line. On the whole, the short-term operation strategy of gold today is recommended to be long on pullbacks and short on rebounds. The upper short-term focus is on the 3330-3350 line of resistance, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3275-3280 line of support. Friends must keep up with the rhythm.
Gold operation strategy reference: Strategy 1: Short gold rebounds near 3330-3340, target near 3305-3290, and look at the 3280 line if it breaks.
Strategy 2: Long gold pullback near 3275-3285, target near 3310-3330, and look at the 3350 line if it breaks.
Gold continues to surge to new highs!Gold technical analysis: Today, the gold price continues to rise strongly. It has risen all the way to more than 80 US dollars. So can it continue to rise? From the long-term chart, the bulls have not changed. Long is definitely the main idea. But you must pay attention to the risks in the short term. Because the increase from 2958 to the present has exceeded more than 340 US dollars. And today's single-day increase is as much as 70 US dollars. So you still need to pay attention to the risks that should be paid attention to in the short term. But don't guess the top too often. Even if you want to guess the top, you must have risk control. You can't trade based on your own sensory thinking.
It has risen sharply from the high point of 3230 yesterday, and has risen nearly 80 points from the low point. It is also trending to hit a new high. Once it breaks the high again, it will continue to hit the 3330-50 line. The next big target of the weekly pattern and segmentation cycle is 3400. It will probably reach it after a few waves of pull-ups. The weekly line rose last week and needs to rise this week. The current focus is still on falling back or breaking through and following the long position.
The current support below can refer to the afternoon low of 3280, which can also be used as an important reference for European trading. The key watershed below may be at the previous top and bottom conversion point of 3245, while the upper pressure is focused on 3330-3350. Overall, today's short-term operation strategy for gold is to focus on long positions on pullbacks and short positions on rebounds. The upper short-term focus is on the 3330-3350 resistance line, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3275-3280 support line.
Short order strategy:
Strategy 1: When gold rebounds around 3330-3333, short (buy short) 20% of the position in batches, stop loss 6 points, target around 3305-3290, break to 3280
Long order strategy:
Strategy 2: When gold falls back to around 3275-3280, buy long positions in batches (buy up) with 20% of the position, stop loss 6 points, target around 3310-3330, break the position and look at 3350
Gold hits record high again! Intraday gold trading analysisFundamentally, although risk sentiment improved at the beginning of this week, Trump's policy changes caused gold prices to fluctuate and adjust, but due to the lack of obvious and sustained negative prospects and the uncertainty in the market, gold prices continued to be stabilized by safe-haven demand and strengthened upward. In addition, last week's inflation data was lower than market expectations, which strengthened the prospect of the Fed's interest rate cut. In addition, the monthly chart of the US dollar index has gone out of the 2-year top divergence, suggesting that there is a large and sustained decline in the future market, as well as increased policy uncertainty, which will also provide long-term support for gold prices. Moreover, although the market also expects that tariff policies may push up inflation in the future, US consumer confidence deteriorated sharply in April, and 12-month inflation expectations rose to the highest level since 1981, but this will also enhance gold's anti-inflation appeal and push up safe-haven demand. It is also good for gold prices. Analysts specifically reminded that market liquidity may decline before the Good Friday holiday, and any sudden policy changes may trigger sharp fluctuations. Traders are waiting for the next major fundamental development to drive the gold market, but the technical chart is still bullish. There is still safe-haven demand in the market. Gold is a safe-haven asset in times of political and financial uncertainty. The dollar index was at a nearly three-year low on Tuesday, making gold relatively cheap for buyers holding foreign currencies. Investors are waiting for a speech by Fed Chairman Powell scheduled for Wednesday to look for clues related to interest rates. During the day, attention will be paid to data such as the U.S. retail sales monthly rate in March, the U.S. industrial output monthly rate in March, the U.S. NAHB housing market index in April, and the U.S. commercial inventory monthly rate in February. Although the retail data is expected to be bearish for gold prices, the subsequent overall data is bullish for gold prices. Therefore, the steady trend is still either volatile or continues to rebound and strengthen, and the operation is still biased towards low-multiple bullish.
Analysis of gold market trend:
Technical analysis of gold: Yesterday, the price of gold always fluctuated in the range of 3210 to 3233. At the opening of today, the price of gold broke through the fluctuation range in one fell swoop and showed an accelerated upward trend. So far, it has successfully refreshed the historical high and reached the 3285 line. Gold opened for risk aversion and directly broke through the new high. The short-term adjustment ended and finally completed the adjustment in a fluctuating manner. This kind of strong bullish market with a breakthrough will basically not have a big decline. Since gold has chosen to break upward, the decline of gold now is an opportunity to go long. The first thing to pay attention to now is the top and bottom conversion position of the support line 3245 below!
For intraday short-term trading, the first thing to pay attention to is the support strength near 3245. This position was the previous high point, and pay attention to its top and bottom conversion effect. Secondly, the support level near 3232 should not be ignored. This is the high point of yesterday's fluctuation range. Today's opening price broke through this position and accelerated upward. The top and bottom conversion support role of this position during the decline is worth paying attention to. The 1-hour moving average of gold has begun to turn upward. If the 1-hour moving average continues to diverge upward, the bulls will continue to exert their strength. After gold breaks through 3245, 3245 has formed a short-term support. Go long on dips when it falls back to 3245. The strength of a wave of gold is still there at that time. So after the surge, you must wait patiently for adjustments and continue to go long. Go long when it falls back to around 3248. It is particularly important to point out that the low point of 3211 during the US trading session yesterday is the key support level for the short-term market trend. Once the price effectively falls below this position, it is necessary to be alert that the market may launch a substantial adjustment. On the whole, the short-term operation strategy for gold today is to go long on pullbacks and short on rebounds. The short-term focus on the upper side is the 3285-3290 line of resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 3245-3240 line of support. Friends must keep up with the pace.
Gold operation strategy reference: Strategy 1: Short gold when it rebounds around 3280-3290, target around 3255-3250, and look at 3245 if it breaks.
Strategy 2: Long gold when it pulls back around 3245-3250, target around 3260-3275, and look at 3290 if it breaks.

The opportunity to short gold in the European session has arrive
📌 Driving Event
On Tuesday, US President Trump launched an investigation into the necessity of tariffs on key minerals, the latest move in the expanding trade war. This trade war has affected key areas of the global economy.
📊Comment Analysis
In the morning, gold fell briefly at 3275, and then broke through again.
The current market rises or dives all depend on Trump's words, and today is the 34th trading day since gold rose from 2832 on February 28, and the 8th trading day since it rose from 2956 on April 7. It is likely to be a new round of change time window.
Therefore, I think the current rise is just the main force pulling up and shipping. The European session is alert to the possibility of a sharp decline again! ! !
In terms of the hourly chart, the current 3293 line will be an obvious pressure. The European session recommends actively shorting here! ! !

4/16 Gold Trading StrategiesYesterday, gold moved within a narrow range, as anticipated. After rising toward the 3230 level, it encountered selling pressure and pulled back, which provided us with some profitable short-term opportunities.
Currently, gold has broken above 3240 and continues to climb steadily. A conservative estimate suggests that a push toward 3250 is achievable without much resistance. However, this is a new high, and after a rapid ascent, it’s common to see profit-taking from long positions and short sellers entering the market from the sidelines. Therefore, chasing long positions at current levels carries increased risk and should be approached with caution.
Today’s Trading Recommendations:
Sell Zone: 3255 – 3270
A potential resistance zone where short positions may be considered.
Buy Zone: 3178 – 3158
Key support area for initiating long positions if the price corrects.
Range Trading Zones:
3240 – 3220
3188 – 3220
Suitable for flexible trading strategies based on real-time price action and candlestick signals.
Summary:
While gold remains in an uptrend, the market is approaching a sensitive area where both selling pressure and volatility may increase. Be cautious with chasing highs, and focus on technical levels for strategic entries and exits. The potential for a short-term reversal or pullback remains if resistance holds strong.
Gold's Rally May Be a Bull Trap – Watch Resistance at $3,293Market Structure:
Gold has rallied toward the $3,275–$3,293 resistance zone, which may act as a distribution level, potentially signaling a short-term top.
Cycle Timing:
Today marks the 34th trading day since the rally began from $2,832 (Feb 28), and
The 8th trading day since the leg from $2,956 (Apr 7) — both are typical cycle inflection points, increasing the likelihood of a price reversal.
Sentiment Drivers:
Price action remains highly reactive to geopolitical news, particularly remarks from Trump, contributing to headline-driven volatility.
🎯 Trade Recommendation:
Short Bias:
If price fails to break and hold above $3,293, consider short entries with downside targets at $3,190–$3,180. Suggested stop-loss above $3,300.
Risk Management:
Exercise caution during high-volatility windows. Use reduced position sizing and strict risk controls to mitigate unexpected price swings.
Will gold fall today?Hello everyone. Let's discuss the trend of gold this week. From the current daily chart, gold is currently in a five-wave upward trend.
You can see that the low point of gold last week was near 2955, which is exactly the top position of the first wave of this wave.
The retracement from 3167 to 2955 is the retracement of the fourth wave, and the retracement did not break the top position of the first wave near 2950.
So, the current trend from near 2955 is running in the fifth wave of rise.
I also drew it in the picture, and it may eventually reach the high point near 3308-3328.
Today's highest point reached near 3275, and then it retreated sharply to near 3256.
Maybe you think this is a high and fall, but I don't think so from the trend.
Gold opened at 3230. If you look at the trend of 3230-3275, you can find that 3255 is exactly the 618 support position of this trend.
If the retracement does not break 618, then there will definitely be a new high.
Using 123 to find 4, we can see that if the high point of 3290 continues to break, the subsequent high point will be around 3300, followed by 3328.
And 3300 coincides with the daily high above.
Therefore, if gold can reach around 3300 next, we must be careful of the possibility of a high fall.
Gold hovers at the All-Time High (ATH)Gold Analysis Update:
As Gold hovers at the All-Time High (ATH), it's crucial to observe how the market behaves during the London session, which is known for its high liquidity and volatility. After taking the Asian session high, the price action is now poised to potentially revisit the marked Fair Value Gap (FVG) zone.
If the market retraces to this zone and provides a bullish confirmation, such as a strong bullish candlestick pattern or a break above a key resistance level, it could set the stage for a beautiful buy-side trade setup. This would potentially offer a lucrative trading opportunity for those looking to capitalize on the ongoing bullish trend.
Let's closely monitor the price action and wait for the market to provide a clear signal before making any trading decisions.
