Gold technical analysis and operation suggestionsGold technical analysis and operation suggestions
Market review:
Yesterday, gold showed a bottoming-out and rebounding trend. It quickly dropped to 3250 in the Asian session and then stabilized and rebounded. It rose in the European and US sessions, reaching a high of 3296 before falling under pressure. After the US session stepped back to 3270 for the second time to confirm support, it accelerated to rise, breaking through the 3300 integer mark. The daily line closed with a bottoming-out and rebounding, indicating that the 3250 support is effective, and the short-term adjustment may come to an end.
Current trend:
Gold prices continued to rebound after opening today, and now hit the 3320 line. It is necessary to pay attention to the 3324 long-short watershed pressure. If it breaks through effectively, it will confirm the reversal, and you can step back and follow up with long orders; on the contrary, if it falls under pressure, consider arranging short orders at high levels.
Technical points:
4-hour chart: 3324 is the key long-short watershed, and the support below is 3295-3301 (yesterday's resistance conversion position).
Operation idea: high short and low long within the range, follow up after breaking through 3324.
Operation strategy:
Short order: 3321-24 light position short, stop loss 3332, target 3295-3301, hold after breaking down.
Long order: 3295-3301 stabilizes and goes long, stop loss 3287, target 3320-24, hold after breaking through.
Gold Completes Move to 3330s, Poises for Second-Half ShiftGold market price fills through 3330's from 3270's, aligning with the second-half of the year’s candle formation. A bullish build-up is being poised around 3296, yet caution remains as price trades within a bearish channel between 3250’s and 3330’s. A breakout could signal a shift in market sentiment going forward. follow for more insights ,comment for more opinions , and boost idea
Gold price analysis July 1On the D1 chart, the price has recovered positively when the candle closed above 50% of the decrease range of last Friday's session. This shows that buying power is returning and a new uptrend is forming, with the target heading towards the GAP zone around 3363.
Today's trading strategy:
Prioritize buying (BUY) if the price has a correction to the support zone of 3300.
Sell strategy should only be implemented at important resistance zones, with short-term profit expectations because the main trend is leaning towards the uptrend.
Important technical levels:
Support: 3300 - 3337 - 3360
Resistance: 3334 - 3348 - 3363
#XAUUSD 30MIN 📉 #XAUUSD 30m Sell Setup – Bearish Continuation Ahead
Gold is currently retracing after a strong drop, consolidating within a short-term Supply Zone. We anticipate a temporary bullish push toward the 3345–3350 premium area, where the broader bearish trend is expected to resume.
🔻 Sell Zone: 3345 – 3350 (Supply / OB Zone)
🎯 Targets: 3300 → 3260
❌ Stop Loss: Above 3358
⚠ Note: This is a short-term retracement, not a trend reversal.
We expect selling pressure to return once price taps into the 3350 Order Block, in line with the higher timeframe bearish structure.

Smart Money Concepts or Inner Circle Trade methodologies.Key Zones and Annotations
FVG (Fair Value Gap) – Marked in green:
Represents an imbalance in price (gap between candles).
Price often returns here to “fill” or mitigate that inefficiency.
BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity) – Marked in blue near the $3,340 area:
Indicates an area above recent highs where stop-losses (liquidity) might be resting.
This area is often targeted before reversals.
SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity) – Marked in red near the $3,270 area:
Represents liquidity below recent lows.
This is a potential bearish target.
Structure Labels
LL (Lower Low), LH (Lower High), HH (Higher High), HL (Higher Low):
Used to track market structure direction (bearish/bullish trend).
ChoCH (Change of Character):
Indicates a shift in market structure, typically a sign of a trend reversal.
Price Projection
The projected path shows a short-term move upward toward the BSL region (~$3,340), suggesting liquidity grab or premium pricing area.
Then, a bearish reversal is projected targeting the SSL zone (~$3,270), suggesting a potential drop after the BSL is taken.
Conclusion
The chart suggests a short-term bullish move to clear buy-side liquidity followed by a bearish continuation targeting lower liquidity zones. This type of analysis is commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies.
7/1 Gold Analysis and PMI Data Trading StrategyGood afternoon, everyone!
Gold has now entered a resistance zone, and on the 30-minute chart, a technical correction appears likely. This correction typically takes one of two forms:
A direct pullback from current levels;
A minor upward push before the pullback, intensifying the need for correction.
In most cases, the second scenario doesn’t result in a large move—unless it’s accompanied by strong news. Given this setup, today’s trading idea is to:
Start with a small short position near current resistance;
Add to the position if price pushes slightly higher, and patiently wait for a pullback. This strategy has shown over 80% historical success rate.
Key support levels to watch:
If the price rises before pulling back: 3321–3316
If the price drops directly: 3313–3306
On the 4-hour chart, the rebound is not yet complete, so if the pullback finds solid support, there’s still room for buy-side setups in line with the short-term trend.
⚠️ Important: U.S. PMI data will be released during the New York session. Strategy depends on pre-release price positioning:
If price remains below 3312, and the data is bullish → look for long setups.
If price is above 3323, wait for a post-data rally to sell into.
If the data is bearish → consider selling immediately.
Stay flexible, manage your positions wisely, and trade with discipline ahead of the U.S. session.

GoldHere's an analysis based on the information presented in the image:
Overall Market Structure (from a quick glance):
Recent Price Action: The price has recently experienced a significant decline, followed by a bounce.
Order Block (OB): There's a clearly marked "4 Hours OB" (Order Block) which is a key area of interest for potential resistance.
Potential Trading Setup:
Entry: The "Entry" price is set at 3,340.00. This entry point is within the bearish order block, suggesting a short (sell) position.
Stop Loss (S/L): The "S/L" is placed at 3,352.00. This is above the high of the 4-hour order block, aiming to limit losses if the price moves against the short position and breaks above the resistance.
Take Profit (Profit): The "Profit" target is set at 3,296.00. This target is significantly lower than the entry, aiming to capture a downward movement.
Risk-Reward Ratio:
Risk: The difference between the entry (3,340.00) and the stop loss (3,352.00) is 12 points.
Reward: The difference between the entry (3,340.00) and the take profit (3,296.00) is 44 points.
Ratio: This implies a risk-reward ratio of approximately 1:3.67 (44 / 12), which is generally considered favorable.
Key Technical Concepts Illustrated (from the inset image):
The smaller inset image on the left illustrates concepts commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or Institutional Order Flow (IOF) trading:
Order Block (OB): A price range where significant institutional buying or selling occurred, often leading to price reversals. The red box indicates a bearish order block.
Entry: The point at which a trade is entered.
FVG (Fair Value Gap) / Imbalance: An area on the chart where price moved quickly in one direction, leaving an "inefficiency" or gap that price often retests.
CHoCH (Change of Character): An early sign of a potential trend reversal, indicating a shift in market sentiment.
BOS (Break of Structure): When price breaks a significant high (for a bullish trend) or low (for a bearish trend), confirming the continuation or reversal of a trend. The multiple "BOS" labels suggest a series of lower lows, confirming a bearish trend.
BERISH DISPLACEMENT: Implies strong bearish momentum leading to lower prices.
PRLII S: This specific acronym is not universally recognized but could refer to a specific pattern or setup within the trader's methodology, possibly related to liquidity or price action.
Conclusion/Potential Interpretation:
The chart suggests a bearish outlook for XAUUSD, with the trader looking to short Gold at the retest of a 4-hour bearish order block. The setup has a favorable risk-reward ratio. The concepts in the inset image provide a theoretical framework for why this particular entry and targets might be chosen, based on institutional trading principles. The current price is at 3,322.285 at 08:33:38 +04, which is below the proposed entry, suggesting this might be a setup that the trader is waiting to happen or a retrospective analysis of a potential trade idea.
XAUUSD 4H – Full Technical & Fundamental Deep Dive🔷 Chart Structure & Trendlines
Since early June, gold has formed a clean descending channel on the 4‑hour chart. Each bounce and rejection has respected these channel edges, which reflect consistent lower highs and lower lows.
A long-term ascending trendline (from late March lows) was recently broken. This broken support has now flipped into resistance, and price is currently retesting it.
The intersection of the descending channel’s top, the trendline resistance, and the 200 EMA creates a major triple-confluence zone—a classic area of institutional interest.
🔷200 EMA
The 200 EMA on the 4H chart is acting as dynamic overhead resistance, which price is currently testing.
Historically, during bearish regime, retests of the 200 EMA from below often trigger strong rejections.
If price breaks above and holds, it would mark a significant shift in market sentiment. If rejected, it adds weight to the bearish trend.
🔷Fair Value Gap (FVG) & Supply Order Blocks
A Fair Value Gap (vicinity of $3,340–3,350) remains structurally unfilled from the previous breakdown.
Price is now re-entering that FVG region—an area often used by smart money to target liquidity and trap retail traders.
This is a logical zone for sell orders, as price frequently reacts where gaps exist.
🔷Volume Profile: High/Low Volume Nodes
A High-Volume Node (HVN) sits around $3,360, where most sustained trading has occurred. This acts as a strong resistance/distribution area.
The current zone ($3,330–3,340) is a low-volume pocket, meaning moves through here can be fast, but rejections are still frequently seen.
Below, there's another HVN around $3,280–3,290—a logical demand area and intermediate target for retracement.
🔷Fundamental Perspective – This Week to Friday
🔸 U.S. Fed Outlook & Dollar Dynamics
U.S. dollar is weak, with growing speculation on imminent Fed rate cuts, partly due to pressure from political sources
Fed remains cautious—no July cut likely, more probable in September
Persistent volatility in Fed messaging means gold remains in play as a hedge.
🔸 Geopolitical & Macro Drivers
Geopolitical tensions (Middle East, trade) continue to add safe-haven support
Central banks, especially Australia, are upping gold purchases—may add structural support
🔸 Market Sentiment & Investment Flows
ETF inflows remain robust—global central bank demand offsetting retail weakness
Some macro research houses expect sideways action into early July, with range likely between $3,200–3,350
🔸 Risks Ahead of Friday
Watch for U.S. jobs data, Fed speakers, and geopolitical headlines—any surprise could spark sharp moves.
If Fed hints at delays in rate cuts or geopolitical risk cools, gold could see a rapid reactive drop.
🔷🤔 Possible Scenarios into Friday
✅ Bearish Rejection
Price fails to clear $3,340–$3,360 zone.
A strong rejection candle retests $3,280–$3,290.
Could accelerate down to $3,240 if momentum picks up.
⚠️ Bullish Breakout
Clean, high-volume break above 200 EMA and $3,360 HVN.
Likely continuation to $3,380–3,400, especially if supported by fundamentals (e.g., inflation, Fed dovish pivot).
🔷My Personal Bias into Friday
Slight bearish lean due to triple resistance confluence.
Fundamentals are mixed: Fed caution supports gold structurally but no immediate catalyst.
I will monitor price action closely: a sharp rejection off the 200 EMA area would confirm suspicion; but a clean breakout would require reassessment.

This is the reason why gold suddenly "changed its face"!
📣 Gold News
Spot gold closed up $28.59, or 0.87%, at $3,302.71 per ounce on Monday. Gold prices fell to around $3,246 per ounce in early Asian trading, the lowest level since May 29.
At 21:30 Beijing time on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, European Central Bank President Lagarde, Bank of England Governor Bailey, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, and Bank of Korea Governor Lee Chang-yong will hold a group meeting.
Last Tuesday and Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell attended a congressional hearing and said that the Fed needs more time to observe whether tariffs make inflation rise higher before considering cutting interest rates.
Powell said in his congressional testimony that he and most Fed officials expect inflation to start to pick up soon, and the Fed is not in a hurry to cut interest rates before that.
Powell said: "At present, we have good conditions to wait and further understand the possible development path of the economy before considering whether to adjust the policy stance." Yesterday, gold opened at $3381.6 and quickly fell back, reaching a low of $3248.8, then rebounded, rebounded in the early trading and touched $3270 and fell again, gold fell back, reaching a low of $3259.4, then gold did not continue to fall, and rebounded. Gold continued to rebound in the European and American markets, with the highest rebound in the US market reaching $3309.4, and finally closed at $3002.9 in the late trading. The monthly line closed with a long upper shadow line and a shooting star pattern. After such a pattern ended, today's gold rebounded high, and the upper resistance focused on the $3326 line. The rebound relied on the resistance below here to short, and the lower side looked at the $3295 line.
XAUUSD – Technical pullback before a breakout?On the 4H chart, gold is consolidating just below the descending trendline after a correction from $3,389 to the support zone at $3,252. The current price structure suggests continued range-bound movement between $3,252 and $3,318 before a potential breakout. If price breaks above the trendline, the next target could be the resistance zone at $3,389.
From a news perspective, the easing of Iran–Israel tensions has slightly reduced safe-haven demand, putting short-term pressure on gold. However, the US dollar remains at a 3-year low, and concerns over the US government’s $3.3–3.9 trillion tax reform package are fueling fears of a widening deficit—both of which support a bullish outlook for gold.
In summary, watch how price reacts to the trendline. A confirmed breakout could send gold surging toward the $3,389 zone.
