Gold prices remain volatile, where is the profit range?
💢 Driving factors
Gold prices plunged nearly 2% yesterday, mainly due to the strengthening of the US dollar and the optimism brought about by the upcoming trade talks between the United States and China. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, but pointed out that the risks of rising inflation and unemployment increased, which further clouded the economic outlook as the Fed struggled to assess the impact of Trump's tariff policy. When the US dollar strengthens, it means that gold is relatively expensive for buyers holding foreign currencies. But despite the decline in gold prices, it is still supported by global geopolitical risks and central bank buying.
📊 Commentary Analysis
Gold basically fluctuated in the 3400-3360 range today, which is a typical fluctuation. But for high-level fluctuations, we must worry about the breakthrough after the platform is sorted out, and we must also worry about the stagflation retracement, which depends on the time cycle. Therefore, the current trend, people who like fluctuations feel very good, and those who look at one-sidedness feel uncomfortable. Today's early trading operations are still temporarily carried out in the 3400-3360 range, and new layouts will be made after the break!
💰Strategy Package
The Asian session is expected to remain volatile, and both long and short positions have opportunities. You only need to operate at the right time. Go long when the short-term retracement reaches 3370 support, and go short when the upper resistance reaches 3410.

Gold Long – Patience Paid OffBeen stalking this setup all session…
Price swept 30M liquidity and gave that clean CHoCH. I locked in once 5M confirmed with a juicy liquidity grab + OB mitigation. Classic SMC flow—no rush, just precision.
This is that type of move where you sit back and let the market come to you.
Entry locked, targeting those 30M highs.

#XAUUSD BUY NOWThe image is a chart displaying the price of gold in US dollars per ounce over time, with various lines and annotations indicating trends and predictions. The chart appears to be a technical analysis of the gold market, with the user suggesting a potential buying opportunity with a target price of 3500.

Gold operating range oscillation: 3360-3400Gold operating range oscillation: 3360-3400
Current market dynamics:
Geopolitical risks subsided, and the Asian market implemented the policy of reducing reserve requirements and interest rates: gold prices fell sharply by $70 to 3360 during the day.
Risk of the Fed's decision: The interest rate decision in the early morning is the core variable.
No interest rate cut or a tough statement may suppress the gold price to 3320-3300;
Unexpected interest rate cuts or dovish signals may push the gold price to rebound above 3430 points.
Key technical points:
4-hour chart:
Resistance level: 3436 points (78.6% Fibonacci retracement level), 3400 points (middle track pressure level).
Support level: 3386 (61.8% Fibonacci), 3350 (50% Fibonacci, key node).
Hourly chart level:
Range oscillation: 3400-3360, double bottom support at 3360 (lower channel rail), breaking through 3400 will open up the upside space.
Operation strategy:
1. Short-term short order:
Entry point: short near 3398, stop loss 3410.
Target: 3383 (initial support level), 3375 (lower edge of hourly line oscillation), final target 3360.
Logic: The market may remain cautious before the Fed's decision. If the 3400 resistance is effective, the technical retracement will be effective.
2. Long layout conditions (need to wait for confirmation):
Hold the 3360 double bottom, and go long with a light position after stabilization. The stop loss is set below 3350, and the target is 3400+.
Logic: If the Fed releases easing signals, technical resonance may trigger buying.
3. Breakthrough follow-up strategy:
Break above 3400: chase long, stop loss 3380, target 3430-3450.
Break below 3350: chase short, stop loss 3370, target 3320-3300.
Summary:
Gold is at a critical node of the game between technical aspects and news aspects.
Short-term recommendation is to focus on high-altitude below 3400, but be wary of unexpected reversals caused by the Federal Reserve.
Prudent people can wait and see for the time being, and intervene after the trend becomes clear after the decision.
If the price fluctuates rapidly, give priority to protecting the principal and avoid carrying orders.
GOLD (XAUUSD) – Accumulation Before ExpansionPrice is currently consolidating in a tight range following a strong bullish move, indicating a classic accumulation phase. Below the range, we’ve identified a manipulation zone where liquidity has been swept—potentially trapping sellers and collecting orders for smart money.
This setup aligns with Wyckoff theory:
Accumulation is taking place within a tight range.
Manipulation (Spring) has occurred beneath the range to grab liquidity.
Anticipating a bullish breakout towards the distribution zone, with targets near 3522.
📌 Key Levels:
Accumulation Range: 3,370–3,390
Manipulation Zone: 3,308–3,286
Target (Distribution): 3,440–3,522
🎯 Waiting for a confirmed breakout with a strong bullish candle and volume surge. Monitoring lower timeframes (M5–M15) for optimal entries.

Waiting for FOMC news and profit taking action before that🔔🔔🔔 Gold news:
➡️ Gold prices came under heavy selling pressure early Wednesday, correcting sharply from a two-week high of $3,435. Fresh optimism over the upcoming U.S.-China trade talks and profit-taking ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy announcements.
➡️ However, downside momentum will be limited as geopolitical tensions escalate globally, in the Middle East and Pakistan-India regions.
Personal opinion:
➡️ Investors are likely to stay on the sidelines and wait for the upcoming FOMC meeting, which will then shape the next direction. Gold prices could see a fresh rally if the Fed cuts rates in June due to concerns about the economic outlook, or vice versa. Therefore, the market today will not fluctuate too much until the news is announced
➡️ Analysis based on important resistance - support levels and Fibonacci combined with EMA to come up with a suitable strategy

A larger corrective pattern is formingIn the previous analysis, a specific range was determined for the price to reverse, after reaching that price range, the price jumped upwards and the price grew by 1700 pips. However, considering that the structure of wave-c is not an impulse, the zigzag was not confirmed and it seems that a larger corrective pattern is forming.
It seems that the reverse contracting triangle pattern is forming, which is currently in wave-d of the triangle. With the completion of wave-d, we can better find the end point of wave-e.
XAUUSD: Strong Bullish (Intraday & Swing)Gold closed Friday with indecision, rejecting both 3230.00 and 3274.00 as NFP remained muted. That led to an explosive 936 pip candle yesterday, ripping straight through 3274.00 and closing just shy of the major 3333.00 level.
Today, price has already pushed 400 pips higher and is currently hovering around 3365 on the 4H chart.
Key Buy Setups:
Break above 3380 → Target 3428
Pullback & successful retest of 3333 as support → Target 3428
Pip Range Opportunity:
500 – 900 pips depending on the entry
Summary: Bullish bias remains intact on all timeframes. I’m watching for a clean break of 3380 to ride the next leg up, or a healthy pullback to 3333 before continuation.
XAUUSD – Calm Before the LaunchMarked this IDM sitting under the HH with clean structure flowing bullish on 4H and 30M.
Flipped to the 2H for a smooth Bird’s Eye view—just watching now, waiting for that sweep and micro shift to load up.
The market’s breathing, building up energy. Once it taps in and confirms, it’s game time.
Let the liquidity do the work. I’ll handle the entry.

Gold is rising strongly. What is the reason?Analysis of today's market in Asian session:
Last week, the price of gold rebounded to above 3240, the lows were constantly rising, and the highs were broken; such a rebound is tempting traders to short.
In the morning of Asian session, the price of gold rose rapidly from 3320 to 3385 US dollars. In just two days, the price of gold recovered the decline during the Asian holiday. In the current market situation, it is not far away to rush back to the high point. The key to the price increase in the morning of Asian session may also support the European session and the US session. You can use a long strategy during this period.
However, you must pay attention to the continuity of the gold price. If there is an attack in the market transaction, there must be a defense; the downward or upward resistance level must be clear after the breakthrough position, how to operate to maximize the benefits and minimize the losses.
Quaid believes that if gold pulls back, its support point needs to focus on the 3340-3350 range, and the defense position is 3320; the position of the Asian morning rise should be paid attention to. If it falls below this position, you need to adjust the strategy in time.
Quaid believes that the upward trend is currently focused on $3380-3400.
GOLD - Bullish - Fundamentals safe haven for inflationary times.The trend is long on the weekly, daily, and 4hr charts.
-Dly 21 held as support.
-Fundamentals - USD inflation may increase. Gold is a haven when or if risk-off occurs.
-Look to buy at Tokyo from the 1st area, then if we fail to make a HH, then price may make a deeper pullback to the 2nd area that I have indicated.
Targets are calculated using Fibonacci extensions depending on where price holds and extends from.
This is just what I am doing and not financial advice!
How to plan when gold’s rise encounters resistance🗞News side:
1. Pay attention to the recent trade situation and news about the Fed's interest rate cuts
2. Be wary of DXY trends
3. The situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the follow-up events of the India-Pakistan conflict
4.Trump imposes 100% tariff on non-US films
📈Technical aspects:
Compared with today's market, the morning rise happened to be a sideways price, breaking through the previous high point. In a volatile rise, it doesn't matter. It is very likely that in the later trend, the price will return to the starting point or even lower, but it can continue to rise. This is a feature of the shock. At the same time, the current market is not extremely strong, and it is still in a volatile rise. Therefore, do not chase long, but retrace as much support as possible.

🎁TP 3280-3270
🎁BUY 3270-3280

Gold (XAU/USD) – Technical & Fundamental AnalysisGold (XAU/USD) – Technical & Fundamental Analysis
🔹 Technical Analysis
Current Price: $3,240.39
Trend Context: Gold remains in a broad ascending channel, with price action currently consolidating below all-time highs (ATH). The structure remains bullish unless key support levels are decisively broken.
Key Technical Levels:
Resistance Zones:
$3,339 – Monthly resistance zone
$3,500 – Psychological round number
$3,608 – All-Time High (ATH) extension zone
Support Zones:
$3,197 – Daily trendline support
$2,957 – Monthly support and key demand zone
Price Scenarios:
Bullish Scenario (Green Path):
A successful hold above $3,197 and a break above $3,339 would likely trigger a retest of $3,500, with potential for continuation toward $3,608, supported by macro fundamentals.
Bearish Scenario (Red Path):
A break below $3,197 may lead to further downside toward the $3,000–$2,957 zone. Failure to hold that support could signal a deeper corrective phase within the broader uptrend.
🔹 Fundamental Analysis
1. U.S. Monetary Policy:
Expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in late 2025 continue to support gold prices, as lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold.
2. Inflation & Economic Outlook:
Persistently elevated inflation and concerns of a potential economic slowdown or recession are keeping investor interest in gold high as a hedge against uncertainty.
3. Geopolitical Risk:
Geopolitical instability in regions such as Eastern Europe and the Middle East maintains a steady flow of safe-haven demand, adding support to gold.
4. Central Bank Demand:
Robust gold purchases by global central banks—especially from emerging markets—are strengthening long-term bullish sentiment.
