Lingrid | GOLD Major Support Level ViolatedOANDA:XAUUSD has formed a lower high beneath the key resistance at 3,310, showing fading bullish momentum after a breakout failure. Price is trading below the upward trendline and moving toward the 3,260 support zone with a corrective structure. The rejection from the resistance block and breakdown of a key level suggests continued bearish pressure.
📉 Key Levels
Sell trigger: rejection from 3,300–3,330 resistance block
Target: 3,260 key support, followed by 3,240 lower zone
Invalid level: breakout and close above 3,320 regains bullish bias
Resistance zone: 3,310–3,330 acting as a ceiling for upside attempts
⚠️ Risks
Reclaiming 3,310 would shift the bias back to neutral/bullish
Sideways range between 3,260–3,320 could cause fakeouts
Volatility spikes from macroeconomic events may trigger stop hunts

GOLD → Readiness to test the local bottomFX:XAUUSD is under pressure from the rising dollar and uncertainty, breaking through support levels, which opens up a corridor for the market to fall to 3255 - 3246
The price of gold is consolidating around $3300 after falling more than 1% amid expectations of the Fed minutes and news about tariffs.
Investors remain cautious: the dollar is supported by hopes for US trade deals, while the threat of new tariffs from August 1 is holding back gold's growth.
Weak inflation data in China did not support the metal, while expectations that the Fed will not rush to cut rates due to inflationary pressure from tariffs are also limiting interest in gold. Traders are waiting for the Fed minutes and new statements from Trump to determine the further direction.
Technically, the market looks weak (on D1, the price closed below the key level of 3300 on Tuesday) and there is a chance of a further decline.
Resistance levels: 3300, 3311
Support levels: 3295, 3255, 3246
Consolidation below 3295-3300 could trigger a further decline to 3255, from which the market could react with a correction.
Buying can be considered if gold reverses the short scenario, manages to strengthen to 3311, and consolidates above this level. At the moment, the price is in the selling zone...
Best regards, R. Linda!

XAU/USD : Get Ready for Another Fall ! (READ THE CAPTION)By analyzing the gold chart on the 4-hour timeframe, we can see that, as expected from our previous analysis, when the price was trading around $3327, it climbed to the supply zone at $3345. After reaching this key level, strong selling pressure emerged, leading to a sharp drop in gold today down to $3296.
This move played out exactly as anticipated, and now, if the price stabilizes below $3330, we could expect further downside pressure on gold.
The Main Analysis :
Lingrid | GOLD Shorting Opportunity at Confluence ResistanceOANDA:XAUUSD is approaching the key resistance near 3360 after rebounding from the 3245 support level and breaking out of the downward channel. Price is now testing the upward trendline from below, intersecting with the red descending trendline and horizontal resistance. If this confluence zone rejects the rally, a return toward 3305 or lower is likely, forming a potential bearish retest.
📉 Key Levels
Sell zone: 3350–3360
Buy trigger: breakout above 3360 with close above 3375
Target: 3305
Sell trigger: rejection from 3360 and break of 3340
⚠️ Risks
Break and retest of 3360 may invalidate short setup
Volatility around red trendline could trigger fakeouts
Demand near 3305 may cause sharp bounces if sellers stall

GOLD - SHORT TO $2,800 (UPDATE)I would like to see the 4H candle close strongly ABOVE this current resistance zone & turn it into support, before I can confidently say it'll shoot up to $3,400 next. For all we know, price might reject this resistance again & shoot back down, but that is looking unlikely right now.
Let's see how the weekly candle closes tonight.
The Unicorn Model: : Guide to ICT’s Best Standalone setup🦄 The ICT Unicorn: The Most Powerful Setup in ICT
Among all the concepts of ICT, the Unicorn setup stands out as the ultimate precision entry model, it’s confluence perfected. Why? Because it merges two of the most potent ideas in ICT theory: Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps into a single zone.
This combination creates the most high-probability, sniper-level setup in the entire ICT playbook.
Why It’s the Best you think?
Most ICT setups (like simple FVGs, order blocks, or liquidity sweeps) offer high-probability trades on their own, but the Unicorn setup stacks the odds in your favor by combining multiple layers of confirmation. This makes it the most disciplined and rewarding entry model for traders who rely on market structure.
Core Concepts Explained
A breaker block is a former order block that gets invalidated when price breaks structure, then acts as support or resistance upon a retest. It’s a sign of a shift in market intent, from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
A fair value gap (FVG) is a three-candle pattern where a sudden price move creates an imbalance, a "gap" between the wicks of the first and third candle. Price often retraces into that gap before continuing its trend.
When these two concepts overlap, a breaker block and a fair value gap in the same zone, it forms the “unicorn” setup. It suggests a strong level where liquidity has been taken and institutions may re-enter.
How the Setup Work s
First, you identify a market structure shift, like a break in a previous high or low. Then look for the breaker block left behind by that move. Within that block, check if there’s a fair value gap (the imbalance zone). When price retraces back into that confluence zone, wait for a reaction, often a strong reversal or continuation.
Entry is usually taken when price shows rejection within the zone on a lower timeframe. Your stop-loss goes just beyond the breaker block, and your target can be the next high/low or a logical liquidity pool.
Example of a bearish Unicorn Model:
Best Conditions to Use It
This setup works best when used in line with the higher timeframe trend. Many traders analyze structure on the 1-hour or 4-hour chart, then drop to 5-minute or 15-minute charts to enter. It’s commonly used in forex and indices but also works well in crypto or commodities.
Avoid using it during news events though. Like all ICT concepts, it requires patience and practice to identify clean setups and avoid forcing trades.
Example spotted on a Gold setup:
ICT Unicorn Model was first introduced in 2022, primarily applied to the Nasdaq 100 (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES). What stood out immediately was its precision, the kind of clean structure and consistency you don’t often find in most strategies.
As it was tested further, it was clear this wasn’t just for indices. The model transitioned beautifully into forex, especially on major pairs like GBP/USD and EUR/USD, delivering sharp entries as well.
I also tested it on metals like gold (XAU/USD) and silver (XAG/USD), as well as the Dollar Index (DXY), and the results spoke for themselves. Even in crypto, where volatility is the norm, the Unicorn setup held its ground.
It’s rare to find a trading model that adapts across markets this well.
Final Thoughts
The ICT Unicorn is all about confluence and precision. You’re not trading every breaker or every FVG, only the ones that align, especially with a clean shift in structure. When used with proper risk management, it can be a high-probability setup in your playbook.
Trading Signal for (XAU/USD) sell below $3,359 (21 SMA-7/8 MurraEarly in the European session, gold is trading around 3,341, below the 7/8 Murray and above the 21 SMA and the 200 EMA, with a bullish bias.
We can see that gold reached the 7/8 Murray level on the H4 chart. This has become strong resistance, so we believe a technical correction could occur below this level in the coming hours.
On Monday, we observed gold reaching a low of 3,238, where it found a technical rebound,, as this coincided with the bottom of the downtrend channel.
Gold has a bullish bias, having reached oversold levels since June 26. It is likely that after a technical correction, it could resume its bullish cycle and reach the 8/8 Murray level at 3,437.
If gold falls below 3,359 in the coming hours, we could expect it to reach the 200 EMA around 3,321. This area will be seen as an opportunity to resume buying, as a bullish trend is emerging.
The RSI indicator is showing a positive signal, so we could take advantage of a technical rebound around 3,320 or 3,305. Both levels could provide gold with good support and a buying opportunity.

The idea remains unchanged, NY3360-3365 is emptyThe idea remains unchanged during the NY period. Although gold has currently reached a high of around 3348, it has not stabilized above it. If gold successfully breaks through 3350 in the short term, it may reach 3360 or 3365. In the 4H cycle, it presents a step-by-step upward pattern. The K-line is temporarily fluctuating sideways near the upper track. At the same time, 3345 has formed a double top pattern. Combined with Thursday's low of 3310, an inverted triangle oscillation range of 3345-3310 is formed in the short term. This week's trend needs to pay close attention to the breakthrough direction of this range. Short-term long positions can be taken after the trend is confirmed.

Gold rebound is powerless and waiting for catalyst! European sup
In the Asian session on Wednesday, spot gold suddenly fell rapidly in the short term, falling to the lowest level of 3284. At present, gold is firmly bearish in the near term, and the price of gold may fall to $3247/ounce. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is scheduled to release the minutes of the June monetary policy meeting on Wednesday. This document may reiterate what speculative interest already knows, that is, Fed officials are satisfied with their recent wait-and-see stance.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will release the minutes of the June monetary policy meeting. The minutes of the Fed's June 17-18 meeting to be released will send a more dovish signal than expected, and the "wait-and-see period" for rate cuts may end in late summer.
Views on today's gold trend!
Looking back at the market, it fell first and then rose on Monday, and then retreated directly on Tuesday. The market turned so sharply, and after gold broke below 3300 again yesterday, the market tended to be weak. At present, the upward trend of gold is still in effect, but buyers seem to be losing momentum. It is worth noting that the relative strength index (RSI) triggered a "sell signal" as the index fell below 50, indicating that sellers outnumbered buyers.
From the perspective of price action, gold prices need to fall below the June 30 low of $3,246/oz to pave the way for further declines. From the 4-hour trend chart and the daily trend, the key node of opening pressure is around 3,321. This position is the low point of yesterday's sideways trading, and it is also the key suppression level of the trend line and the moving average. If you want to weaken again today, this position cannot stand firm, and the support below will first look at the double support of 3,376 and 3,247!
Gold: Short near 3,321, defend 3,331, and target 3,296-3,285! Enter long orders if it falls back to around 3,276 without breaking, defend 70, and target 3,310! If it continues to break, wait for the 3,347 first-line support to take more!
Following Price Flow to the Next TargetPrice swept liquidity below the previous day’s low and then powered back up, breaking structure to the upside. Now it’s sitting above the 50 EMA, moving through fair value gaps left by the rally. I’m watching for a possible pullback into the FVG zone near the EMA. If that level holds, price could look to reach for the liquidity above around 3,365.
But here’s what matters most. Even if this ends up being a losing trade, I’d rather take that loss knowing I stuck to my plan than catch a random win by breaking my rules. Because long-term, winning trades that come from impulse actually set you up for future damage. They teach bad habits.
Losses that happen inside your system? Those are simply the cost of doing business. They protect your discipline and keep your edge intact. Over time, that’s exactly what allows you to stay in the game and grow your account.

XAUUSD Sniper Outlook – July 7, 2025"Structure over noise. Patience is power. Welcome back to the battlefield."
👋 Hey traders!
After a low-volume week due to the US Independence Day holiday, we now re-enter the battlefield with structure tightening under major resistance — and with Fed commentary on the radar.
No CPI. No NFP. But don't sleep on the setups — liquidity is quietly shifting.
🧭 Here’s what we’ve got ahead:
🔔 Key Events – July 8–12:
🟡 Monday–Tuesday: BRICS Summit (geo/political exposure)
🔵 Wednesday: FOMC Minutes – potential policy clues
🔴 Thursday: Unemployment Claims + Fed speakers (Muserlian, Waller)
⚪ Friday: Federal Budget Balance
We’re likely entering a reactive environment — fueled by internal structure shifts, not major macro catalysts. Perfect for smart money setups.
🧠 HTF Structure & Bias
🔹 Daily Bias:
Price remains capped under the key daily supply 3344–3351, which rejected cleanly before the holiday. Unless that flips into support, bias remains neutral to bearish.
EMAs 5/21 are curling sideways. RSI is flattening, and structure shows fading momentum.
🔹 H4 Bias:
We’re consolidating below a CHoCH + LH series, inside premium territory. The rejection from 3344 was precise, and unless broken, pressure favors the downside.
Price is rotating between the H4 EQ and the 3325–3332 intraday OB. Momentum is slowing — watch for re-accumulation or rejection depending on reaction at key zones.
🔴 Supply Zones (Sell Scenarios)
1. 3344 – 3351
This is the Daily + H4 supply from last week. EMA alignment + FVG + liquidity sweep confluence.
Perfect sniper rejection area if price trades up and stalls. Look for M15/M30 CHoCH confirmations.
2. 3380 – 3394
Untouched H1-H4 OB in premium. Not related to CPI/NFP — just pure inducement wick potential from above. If tapped after midweek liquidity push (e.g. FOMC Minutes), watch for overreaction entries.
🟢 Demand Zones (Buy Scenarios)
1. 3325 – 3332
Last week’s discount reaction zone. H1 OB + internal CHoCH zone. If swept and protected by bullish PA (M15 BOS), this becomes the best R/R long back into 3344.
Already tested Friday, but still holds weight for Monday.
2. 3286 – 3272
H4 OB + daily demand + RSI oversold zone.
If we get a full breakdown early week, expect this area to act as a reaccumulation pocket for bulls — but only with confirmation.
⚔️ Decision Zone – 3299 – 3305
This is the weekly flip area.
If bulls defend 3305 → bullish short-term bias returns.
If 3299 fails → downside continues into 3280s.
🧠 Summary & Gameplan
🧷 No CPI. No NFP. That means cleaner technical moves — no fake news spikes, just pure structure.
Expect Monday to be reactionary (post-holiday), and Wednesday–Thursday to bring intraday setups post-FOMC minutes.
✅ If price is in premium, watch for bearish rejections at 3344/3380.
✅ If price dips into discount, wait for confirmation longs at 3325 or 3286.
✅ Stay patient in mid-range. Don’t force trades inside chop zones.
