XAUUSD H2 Idea, Aligned with weekly view XAUUSD& SILVER—Risk-On Mood Pressures Prices, Fed Easing Eyed - Gold and silver prices experienced downward pressure during Friday’s Asian trading session, as a resurgence in risk appetite prompted investors to move away from safe-haven assets. Gold (XAU/USD) fell from an early high of $3,370 to $3,316, while silver (XAG/USD) dipped near $33.44, though it maintained support above $33.18. - This shift in sentiment was influenced by positive developments in U.S.–China trade relations. Reports indicated that Beijing is considering suspending its 125% tariff on select U.S. goods, and President Trump confirmed ongoing negotiations, with the White House noting progress. - Additionally, stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data contributed to the decline in precious metal prices. Durable goods orders surged 9.2% in March, surpassing expectations and bolstering the U.S. dollar, which in turn weighed on gold. Despite these factors, the outlook for gold and silver remains influenced by expectations of Federal Reserve monetary policy. Investors are closely monitoring upcoming U.S. economic indicators, such as the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, for further clues on potential Fed easing.

At present, the market: 1: Trend: There is no trend for the time being, and the range is high, the large range is 3480-3260; the bull trend is stagnant, and the bear trend stops falling. The trend cannot be judged for the time being; 2: Fundamentals, the future fundamentals will focus on the US debt crisis, trade war tariffs, and subsequent war issues, two core things; and uncertain fundamentals Today's market: 1: 4 hours, the stochastic indicator golden cross, the main long signal; in terms of form, slow bull rise; the current pressure position of the central axis is near 3370, and the probability of breaking upward is relatively high; therefore, the 4-hour can be treated as a shock rise; but the overall situation remains in the large range of 3480-3260! 2: In the daily K-line, the stochastic indicator diverges periodically, and the death cross is downward, which is a bearish signal; however, the high-level sell-off forms a sideways resistance to the decline, and the sideways support is in the range of 3280-3260; the MACD double-line golden cross is glued, and there is no death cross; the indicators in the daily K-line are contradictory, so the long and short trends are difficult to continue, and more range oscillations and high-level consolidation signals are given; To sum up: Today's short message is still processed according to the 4-hour range; 3370-3260 range and 3370-3480 range; if it stabilizes at 3370, the range processing will be changed; you can take a pullback to do more, and bet on the 4-hour range oscillation upward, and gradually break through the position of 3370;

XAUMO | Tactical Market Report – Friday, April 25, 2025 Overall Market Outlook: The market is currently moving in a clear distribution zone, between 3,337 and 3,346. There’s strong evidence of a bull trap near the 3,346 high. Price is failing to stay above the VWAP, and we’re seeing overlapping signals between the HMA5 and EMA21. A close below 3,329.00 would be a major reversal signal, possibly kicking off a wide downward move. Session-Based Behavior (Cairo Time): 1. London Session (10:00 AM – 1:00 PM): Expected Behavior: Fake breakout to attract buyers Tactics:
 Watch for fast moves into the 3,337–3,345 zone Sell if rejection candles appear (Shooting Star / Bearish Engulfing) Confirm with divergence or internal support break on the 15-min chart 2. Pre-New York (1:00 PM – 3:00 PM): Expected Behavior: Tight consolidation and position building Tactics:
 Monitor price around 3,320–3,329 If price stays below VWAP, stick with short positions Don’t go long unless there’s a real breakout with strong volume + RSI confirmation 3. New York Open (3:30 PM – 4:30 PM): Expected Behavior: Initial fake move followed by strong momentum Tactics:
 Sell after a break below 3,306 + retest RSI dropping below 40 = strong bearish momentum confirmation 4. New York Continuation (After 4:30 PM): Expected Behavior: Continuation in the dominant direction Tactics:
 If price stays under 3,306.50 → continue selling Use a trailing take profit and adjust based on price movement Trading Scenarios: Main Bearish Scenario (Primary Setup): Entry Options:
 Sell Limit at 3,329 Sell Stop at 3,306 Stop Loss Levels:
 SL1: 3,341.12 SL2 (Trailing): 3,345.35 Take Profit Targets:
 TP1: 3,294 TP2: 3,278 TP3: 3,255.74 TP4: 3,226.88 TP5: 3,198.01 Confidence Level: 85% Why This Trade?
 Failed breakout Clear distribution signals on the chart Confirmed bull trap above 3,342.82 Alternative Bullish Reversal Scenario (Low Probability): Entry: Buy Stop at 3,346 Stop Loss: SL at 3,337 Take Profit:
 TP1: 3,355 TP2: 3,367.45 Confidence Level: 50% Conditions Needed:
 Ichimoku Cloud breakout EMA21, EMA8, and HMA5 aligning upward Bullish RSI divergence + MACD crossover Structural Outlook (10:00 AM): Moving Average Cluster (HMA5 + EMA21): 3,307 – 3,310 Institutional Resistance Zone: 3,337 – 3,346 Confirmed Traps:
 Bull Traps at 3,342.82 and 3,338.70 Volume Profile:
 VWAP = Rejected VPOC shifted toward 3,294 Large selling volume: 246.69K ========= Key Economic Events Today (Cairo Time): 4:00 PM – Final US Consumer Confidence (April):
 Strong reading = Bullish for USD = Bearish for Gold Weak reading = Bearish for USD = Bullish for Gold Evening – US Oil Rig Count:
 Increase = Rising inflation expectations → indirect support for Gold No change = Minor short-term impact ======== XAUMO | Bullish Tactical Plan Bullish Idea Summary: Even though the market is under heavy selling pressure, there’s still a chance for a bullish counter move if these technical reversal signals show up: Reversal candles like a Hammer or Bullish Engulfing near 3,294–3,286 support A solid breakout above the Ichimoku Cloud at 3,346 Bullish RSI Divergence + MACD Crossover Conditions for Bullish Activation: Price must break and hold above 3,346 with rising volume HMA5, EMA8, and EMA21 must cross upward on both 15-min and 1-hour charts Must see strong momentum + BBMA reversal confirmation Buy Scenario Details: Entry: Buy Stop at 3,346.20 Stop Loss:
 SL1: 3,337 SL2 (Trailing): 3,333.15 Targets:
 TP1: 3,355.00 TP2: 3,367.45 (weekly high) TP3: 3,385.00 (Institutional exit zone via BBU) Confidence Level: 50–60% Why the caution? Previous breakouts in this range have failed repeatedly. Final Note: “Below 3,306, price gets crushed. Above 3,346 is just a distribution trap. Buying without a real breakout? That’s tactical suicide. Read the chart, not your wishes.” Conclusion: If the bullish scenario plays out today, Friday April 25, 2025, the market may be heading into a short-term rally fueled by temporary momentum after a sharp pullback. The key to this move is a strong and confirmed breakout above the 3,346 resistance zone. As of now, price is still hesitating below that level, which signals ongoing distribution—or maybe preparation for a breakout. To confirm the setup, you’ll need: a clean close above 3,346 upward crossover of HMA5, EMA8, and EMA21 on the 15m and 1h RSI crossing 55 and MACD flipping positive Only then does the Buy Stop at 3,346.20 become a serious play, with stops placed smartly at 3,337 and a trailing stop at 3,333.15 to avoid fakeouts. Initial targets are 3,355, then 3,367.45, and finally 3,385 as the stretch goal—an institutional area where profit-taking is likely. Still, with confidence only around 50–60%, this trade needs clear technical confirmation before execution. If the market drops back below 3,329, the bearish plan remains the default. The price decides. We just stay ready.

Gold Analysis The recent gold rally has achieved all anticipated price targets in a remarkably short timeframe, subsequently attracting profit-taking activity. These sellers are currently dominating price action, creating what appears to be a potential head and shoulders pattern with the head at $3,500 and neckline at $3,280. Should the 4-hour candle close below this neckline, it would confirm the pattern formation, suggesting a downside target of $3,080. The RSI indicator further supports this bearish outlook, with a clear negative divergence forming over the past three days while remaining below the 50 level SAXO:XAUUSD AMEX:GLD AMEX:IAU COMEX:GC1!

Bonds Could be Forming a Big Low The drop in bonds took them down the 76 retracement level and this is where we're stalled out, at least for now. Action in this area is consistent with a head and shoulders - and if that pattern is in play then we'd be into the rally in bonds now. Something that's always worth noticing is when there's a lot of talk of something dramatic happening in something but it doesn't make a new extreme. During the last drop in bonds there was extreme bear sentiment (It's not even something I'm all that interested in and I was seeing it everywhere) but this drop has so far failed to break the low and, perhaps critically, remains above the 76. Currently in the pending reversal zone we have the formation of a possible reversal pattern. This is a premise we can invert to the yields also. If these reversals play out, they predict that these start to change really quickly. We'd be heading out of the late reversal stages and into the early trend. We'd expect to see bonds sharp up and yields sharp down. Failure of these levels as reversals would imply a far stronger trend in these, but I do think the odds skew better towards reversals here as per the TA norms.

Interpretation of 4.25 Gold Short-term Operation IdeasFrom the technical analysis of the hourly market, yesterday's low was at $3,306, and the rebound just now showed an obvious stop signal at this position. Based on this, the current short-term suppression level can refer to $3,315, and the higher level is $3,328. For short-term investors, you can consider waiting for the gold price to rebound to around $3,315 to arrange short orders and continue to be bearish on the gold price. The first thing to pay attention to below is the support of the low point just touched at $3,287. If this support level is lost, the next key support level will be $3,260, the first low point on the previous downward journey. If $3,260 is also effectively broken, the short-selling force will be further released, and the gold price may face a larger decline.
