Gold's cautious gains might be a sucker-punch for bullsWhile I suspect gold will outperform in 2025, I am suspicious of these early-year gains during low-liquidity trade. Taking market positioning into account, I assess the weekly trend structure alongside areas for bulls to seek potential shots on the daily and 4-hour timeframes.

Gold Update: Sideways Consolidation ^ $2,800 => $2,400-$2,500Gold futures follow the path posted earlier (see related).
It dropped quickly and deeply within a correction to hit the $2,542 mark.
Next was a strong rebound that stalled just above $2.7k
Then we saw a series of zigzags that shaped a small consolidation
All of this indicates of the sideways consolidation pattern which implies the
box type flat correction with top and bottom of the range defined by all-time high ($2,802)
and the valley at $2,542. The height of the range is around 300 bucks.
Next step for the price to retest or only touch the all-time high,
further we might face another drop to retest the valley of $2,542 or even lower
to touch the bottom of the bullish channel. Another downside target is at 38.2% Fib at $2,400.
After that, the consolidation could be over and the bullish trend to resume with new impulse.
Let's go LONG this week & STRIKE GOLD for the HOUSE!!!COMEX:GC1!
" A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." -Jackie Robinson
As we head into the 2nd trading week of the New Year I hope everyone has a HIGH SET Goal that they want to achieve. Let's be strategic in our goals and make sure we put forth rightful action that will get us the results we desire. In this sport we play there is no Reward without RISK... So let's get down to business on what exactly were looking for this week to STRIKE GOLD for the HOUSE to benefit...
Confluence Profile 500K (Expectational Order-Flow + PA) 15-20pt STOP / 60-100pt Target
Key info; On average GOLD runs for 240pts LONG or SHORT during NY session 5am-2pm PST.
Our Playbook: We cut 240 in Half = 120pts as our new GOAL to catch for the DAY (Intra Day)
Pillar 1) HTF EOF "Market Direction" In which direction are we headed? Who has the stronger hand?
Currently Buyers have the stronger hand on the HTF's Daily & 4Hr. We just broke above the Daily Swing EQ Level ($2696.5) and have officially entered the Daily Supply Zone ($2719.0).
**** Scenario LONG #1) Now this is my Narrative to go LONG if and when price has a slight reaction out of the Supply Zone and sellers push GOLD down towards Daily Swing EQ Level ($2696.5) I will then head to the Order Flow Footprint Chart to watch very very closely if buyers start to change the expectation of orders from bear flow to bull flow from the Key Level ($2696.5). OR
**** Scenario LONG #2) If sellers remain dominant and push price lower past EQ Level my next target will be 4Hr Sub. X Level ($2681.0). I will then head to the Order Flow Footprint Chart to watch very very closely if buyers start to change the expectation of orders from bear flow to bull flow from the Key Level ($2681.0). Or
**** Scenario LONG #3) Sellers remain Dominant and push price past EQ level & 4Hr Sub X. Level and come to mitigate the HTF Daily Demand Zone below ($2664.0). I will then head to the Order Flow Footprint Chart to watch very very closely if buyers start to change the expectation of orders from bear flow to bull flow from the Key Level ($2664.0).
Once we get our Confluence Profile 500K to flow in symmetry together; HTF Mitigation w LTF Entry Confirmation / Order Flow Footprint + PA we then will enter our positions INTRA DAY....
Key Note: LTF Pro Trend is LONG & LTF Counter Trend is SHORT.... Either way is Profit!! Done correctly at the right time & price. I will keep update as more date in the PA develops throughout the week.

Gold’s Next Move: Upward Momentum Building at Key SupportGold is reacting exceptionally well to the Fork.
It has not opened and closed below the L-MLH within a single bar, which eliminates any immediate downside expectations.
Instead, we observe a condensed, slanted trading range or coil, indicating that price is being gradually pressed to the upside.
In my previous post about Gold, I anticipated a rocket-like breakout. Since then, price has simply moved down to the L-MLH, finding support there. This price action, coupled with the ongoing upward pressure, confirms my analysis—albeit slightly delayed.
As NQ and S&P approach their respective targets, as outlined in my other analysis, I expect Gold to start moving upward, with targets at the CL and U-MLH.
Gold possible Set ups for this weekSo as of right now this is what I'm seeing for possible play's. We have an uptrend but its hitting an area were we need to see a break or this is going to be the place were we start breaking down & making lower lows. We will see what the market gives us. This pair moves really good during Asian Session & London Session.
Gold xt moves?Gold remains a commodity of choice in a market that is increasingly becoming unstable because of geopolitical tensions, raising US debt etc.
If Daily Supply Fails let's be strategic & Target 4Hr HIGH LONG!COMEX_MINI:MGC1!

Here on the Daily TF market opened up and we are currently trading underneath Daily Resistance/ Daily Supply Zone ($2661.4). Now this is my "Confluence Profile 500K" Playbook System to go LONG;
Pillar 1) HTF EOF 'Market Direction' Who has the stronger more dominant hand?
Now everyone's perception is different and that is totally fine. In my personal opinion we are still Pro Trend Bullish. I believe we are caught in the middle of a current HTF Market Correction however LONG TERM I still see GOLD pumping towards $3K. 4Hr TF we are also Pro Trend Bullish lining up directly with the Daily TF. We also have more confirmation being that the 4HR High ($2656.0) was taken out with bar closures / strong aggression to the upside from aggressive buyers lifting the offer deep into the HTF Daily SUPPLY ZONE. So now my PILLAR 1) HTF BIAS has been made. Pro Trend LONG & Counter Trend SHORT.)
Pillar 2) HTF Mitigation leads to LTF Order Flow Entry Confirmation.
Let's wait for a 15m Bar closure above Daily Resistance Level ($2661.4) for our 1'st official signal LONG. If and when we can get this to play out in PA I will keep close update on the next steps in the Playbook.
Before I head off, family I have to say; NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING in the market is set in stone. We play probability & adaptability to market conditions. Let's be skilled. Let's be patient. Let's be focused. Developing a stronger system that performs exceedingly well over time. Continued Success to you all...

GOLD ELLIOTT WAVE ANALYSIS: 07 JAN, 2025©Master of Elliott Wave: Hua (Shane) Cuong, CEWA-Master.
Wave (ii)-orange may have finished and wave (iii)-orange is pushing lower, aiming for the nearest target around 2,608.4.
While price must remain below 2,681.0 to maintain this view.
On the other hand, the alternative scenario ALT (less likely), suggests that wave ((b))-navy in another development has completed, and wave ((c))-navy will move higher. A push above 2,681.0 would indicate this.
20pt Stop / 5R Run... Well Done!COMEX:GC1!

Multiple marketsIn January 2nd I've been away from the market for a week or so. I think some of the the index markets are going to reverse and go lower but it's not exactly clear right now. I spent more time than I should have on this video but I wanted to show a few examples of range boxes because I think range boxes are going to be useful in the next couple of weeks.
Local GOLD long from an action line on 15m chartPrice has broken kill-zone that consists of triple top and double top. So I expect stepping up swing movement on 15m chart. This is a good time to draw action-reaction set. It captures previous price movements wonderfully.
And we have nice risk/reward entry if we place our stop behind this kill-zone
Gold's shakeout may not be overLast week in a video I expressed my concerns that the start-of-year gains were a bit suspect. So it is interest to see that a bearish engulfing day formed around a resistance cluster including a weekly VPOC and trendline from the record high.
Prices remain within a small symmetrical triangle on thew daily chart which could really break either way, but with such a strong bullish trend on the weekly, any retracement seems likely to be shallow. I also see gold hitting record highs this year.
For now, the leg lower from Friday's high appears to have formed in one way within the triangle, which implies at least one leg lower within it.
Bears could seek to fade into moves towards 2700 and target the HVN around 2646 or the lower trendline of the triangle.

Sizing With The Precious MetalsThe precious metals complex as a whole saw strong gains across 2024 and increased volume across markets such as Gold and Silver. During the year, the Fed's interest rate policy along with inflation concerns helped bring the Gold and Silver market near their all time high levels. Toward the end of the year, the Fed decided to leave rates unchanged and the prices in the metals broadly started to come down. Looking at February Gold, although prices have come down off the highs, the market has still held out above some critical levels, and traders will need to keep an eye on inflation data and the Fed’s actions throughout 2025.
The Gold market offers several different sizing options for many different types of traders, ranging from the newly released 1-oz contract to the full sized 100-oz contract. This wide variety of contracts helps give a wider range of traders the ability to trade depending on their own personal risk appetite or trading strategy. With the strong attention from traders on Gold along with a lot of political and economic uncertainty starting off the new year, it is critical for traders to understand what size contract works best for them.

GoldGold from levels of 78766 it has completed first initial retesting zone from range 78436 to 78085
Made low currently 77965 around 8 pm
Now further it can slide near zone 77550-77161 zone with small bounce expected in range 78105-78334
GC LONG from 2675-2680 targeting 2700-2710Gold future contract was traded in an up trend for the past following days, after the huge correction we had from 2760 to the ~2600 level.
from there - we gained momentum and buyers that took the price all the way up to 2710 again.
yesterday we got a big daily correction candle that took us back to 2680.
2675-2680 is a big AOI for this asset, and I expect buyers to come in and make the price bounce around 1% back up (2700-2710), where I will want to take profit and recalculate the odds for holding it to 2750 or let go.
Stop would be bellow 2670-2675, good luck

GOLD (GC1!) ELLIOTT WAVE ANALYSIS - TRIANGLE PATTERNCHARTS OF THE DAY
©Master of Elliott Wave: Hua (Shane) Cuong, CEWA-M (Master's Designation).
The context suggests that we are inside a 4-grey wave, as the 3-grey wave ended at the high of 2,801.2.
I see that the 4-grey wave is taking a long time, and is probably getting narrower as time goes on, as well as its subwaves have a lot of Three-waves, which directly suggests to me the idea of a Triangle forming (3-3-3-3-3 or ABCDE).
A closer look suggests that the ((a))-navy to ((d))-navy wave is probably completed, and we are inside a ((e))-navy wave. It will continue to aim for the nearest target at 2,633.8 (Wave ((e))-navy = 0.618 x wave ((c))-navy - this is a fibonacci multiple ratio of subwaves in the triangle pattern). Wave ((e))-navy will develop as a Zigzag.
So, in the coming time, gold may move up with wave 5-grey, but not yet, because it needs more time to complete this Triangle pattern.
While the price must always remain lower than the high of 2,734.2 to maintain the short-term bearish view with the Triangle pattern.
#202502 - priceactiontds - weekly update - gold futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: I want to be bearish with a stop 2761 but so far bears have not done enough. Market is still above the 1h 20ema and until we have consecutive closes below, I won’t take shorts. My bear trend line is good and market showed the expected reaction there but the risk of another test of 2735 is too high to take early shorts. Bulls also closed above 2710, which is pretty bullish but I would never buy so close to a big bear trend line. Downside potential is about 100 points while upside is most likely limited to 2761, so r:r is clearly on the bear side.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 2620 - 2761
bull case: Strongly bullish week and despite having many tails above the bull bars, we are only going up. Bulls want to break above the bear trend line and test 2761 again. Gold has been in a trading range 2560 - 2761 for more than 2 months and betting on a breakout is low probability. Bulls are buying this on momentum but once that is gone, they likely have to cover and try lower again. If bulls want 2800 bad, we would stay above 2700 and continue upwards. I currently see this 50/50 for both sides.
Invalidation is below 2670.
bear case: Bears tried on Friday but bulls got a big bullish reversal bar and closed above 2700. Best bears could do right now is to turn the market neutral around 2700 before they can try to sell this down again. Bulls are in full control and bears have not done much since beginning of 2025. First target for the bears is to stop the market from making new highs and staying below the 2024-12 high at 2761. Next target down would be 2680 and a 4h close below the 20ema, which has not happened since last Monday.
Invalidation is above 2761.
short term: Neutral around 2700. Bullish above 2740 for 2761 or higher and bearish only below 2650. Market most likely needs more sideways movement before we can go down.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-01-02: If we break strongly above 2700, we will likely retest 2740-2760 and depending on that move, we will either stay inside the big range 2560 - 2760 or retest 2800 or even higher.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Nothing
Gold Spot / U.S. DollarPossible Sell on 4H HTF liquidity taken out. Wait for LTF on MSS/FVG confirmation before entry.
GOLD is going to be BEARISH, Lets seeGOLD is going to be BEARISH, Lets see
1) Triangular pattern
2) Bears seems dominating as per volume and pattern
3) Lets see, comment your opinion
$GOLD & $SILVER BullishGold and silver on the monthly chart exhibited SMT and mitigation of a PDA in the discounted region, signaling a potential MMBM, which was later confirmed on the daily chart. As a result, we maintain a bullish bias for these assets, considering they may be targeting the external liquidity of the monthly chart as the final objective. However, it is worth noting that the price might correct beforehand, returning to the discount region on the daily chart to seek internal liquidity and build momentum to reach the monthly chart's final liquidity target.
