Shorting gold again Well, it does look like there is still some room for a short trade that might actually hit. Personally, iam not 100% confident in this trade, but i would have liked to see more confirmations before taking the short entry, yet still i think it is still worth the risk. if you want more confirmations then here is the thing, wait the price to close below this yellow line, and i mean a close not a wick, then wait the price to pullback and take a short position. my confidence in this setup is 6 out of 10.

Ethereum vs. Gold Chart Comparison – Potential Explosive The comparison between Micro Gold Futures (MGC1!) and Ethereum (ETHUSDT) on the weekly timeframe suggests that Ethereum could be mirroring gold’s price structure before its parabolic breakout. Key Similarities Between Gold & Ethereum: Impulse Leg Formation 🔥 Both assets formed a strong impulse leg after a significant low. The Ethereum impulse leg started from the ~$1,530 low, pushing toward ~$4,000 before retracing into accumulation. Gold followed a similar pattern, forming a strong rally before consolidation. Accumulation Range Both charts show a clear accumulation phase after the impulse leg. Gold accumulated sideways for an extended period before exploding to the upside. Ethereum is currently within its accumulation range, suggesting that it could be preparing for a similar breakout. This is a shakeout phase designed to trap weak hands before the real move. Standard Deviation Extensions (STDVN) & Key Levels 🎯 Both charts use standard deviation extensions (STDVN) to project potential short-term targets. 0.5 STDVN & 1 STDVN levels are crucial areas where price could react. Gold blasted through these levels after breaking out of accumulation. If Ethereum follows suit, 5,288 (0.5 STDVN) and 6,605 (1 STDVN) could be in play. Previous Highs Acting as Support/Resistance Gold broke past its old high, retested, and surged. Ethereum is still hovering below its previous major high (~4,800). If Ethereum flips this level into support, it could send price into price discovery mode. What This Means for Ethereum 🚀 Gold already showed the path—Ethereum is lagging but setting up similarly. Volatility is part of the process—shakeouts happen before the breakout. Holding ETH through this phase could be crucial if history repeats itself. A breakout beyond the accumulation range could send ETH towards $5,200 - $6,600+ in the short term. Beyond 1 STDVN, ETH enters uncharted territory—an all-time high breakout could be explosive. Final Thoughts from Lord MEDZ 👑 Not financial advice, but I’m holding ETH through the chop. The last shakeout before an all-time high run is often the toughest. But the chart comparison is clear: Gold did it first. Ethereum could be next. 🔥 Patience. Conviction. Execution. 🔥

Gold Futures Short Bias Into NY CloseGC is stalling beneath the 3330–3336 resistance cluster after failing to break out during NY session. Price rejected the fair value gap (3312–3318) and is now compressing just above the mean-reversion anchor (LWN). There’s no momentum reclaim from buyers, and structure suggests weakness into Friday. We’re positioning short into expected downside continuation. Key Levels Reactive Resistance Cluster: 3330–3336 FVG (rejected): 3312–3318 Mean-Reversion Anchor (LWN): 3290–3300 Absorption Shelf (Target Zone): 3275 PDH/PDL (provisional): 3325 / 3280 VWAP: Flattened, near 3302 Short Setup (Active) Entry: 3332 Stop: 3340 TP1: 3305 – Mean reversion TP2: 3288 – LWN sweep TP3: 3275 – Absorption shelf Staakd Setup: 1:5.7 R:R to final target Bias confirmed by rejection from inefficiency and absence of buyer follow-through QM Probabilities Bear Move 60–65% Structure favoUrs continued rejection + flush to 3275 Bull Move 35–40% Requires reclaim of 3318 + aggressive close above VWAP Range/Flat Possible pre-close Tight range unless displaced overnight Staakd Bias: Structure is holding beneath resistance. Without a reclaim of 3318, we remain short-biased into Friday with eyes on 3275. Probability favours continuation unless buyers reclaim initiative fast. Follow for post-close recap and updated levels ahead of Friday's NY open and we hope your trades worked out how you expected today.

Gold Trade Setup – Long Invalidated, Watching Retest for ShortGold has been consolidating between $3,200 and $3,500, recently pressing against a descending resistance line that has rejected price several times. I was favoring the upside, but our long setup was invalidated — the stop loss at $3,330 was hit. Price is now retesting ascending support, and I'm shifting focus to a short opportunity, using our previous long entry level (~$3,333) as a key area of interest for entries. Here’s the updated plan: Short Entry: Around $3,333 Stop Loss: $3,340 Take Profit: $3,303 Remaining cautious but opportunistic — the larger structure is vulnerable and could break further if support fails.

Retail trapped. Volume confirmed. Liquidity targeted.🔻 We are in a highly reactive zone where emotional long entries and early short SLs create perfect liquidity magnets. 🔍 Key Levels & Zones: • Early Short SL Zone → 3337.2 • Retail FOMO Entry Block → 3251.9 • Volume-based Rejection Point → 3392.0 (SL/TP sweep) • TP1 & TP2 Zones → 3251.9 / 3208.0 • Bonus TP → 3159.9 → Complete sweep of long SLs and demand exhaustion • Final Trap Exit Zone → 3157.4 — Institutional reload zone 💡 Volume confirms this cycle of: • Trap > SL hunt > Emotional entry > Volume fade > Dump > Accumulation > Reversal 🧠 This is NOT financial advice. I post to share deeper insight into manipulation mechanics & sniper-level liquidity structure analysis. If you’re still trading candles, you’re playing retail games. Start seeing the architecture. 🧷#XAUUSD #SmartMoney #LiquiditySweep #VolumeStrategy #TradingPsychology #RetailTrap #SniperMindset

Gold Futures (GC1!) – Accumulation Brewing? Major Move IncomingGold has been stuck in a tight range since April, and to me, this looks like a textbook accumulation zone forming on the daily chart. Price is coiling within a defined box, showing signs of both strength and weakness — classic behavior before a manipulative move (fake breakout) followed by distribution (true direction). This is where many traders get trapped, chasing the first breakout — only to get caught before the actual move begins. I’m not committed to a direction yet, but here’s my roadmap: 🧠 First breakout = likely trap (manipulation) 🧭 Wait for confirmation of rejection/failure, then prepare for the real move out of the range This kind of price behavior often precedes explosive volatility, so I’m watching closely for: False breakouts above or below the box Volume spikes or traps Shift in market structure on lower timeframes 📍 No trade for now, but I’ll be reacting — not predicting. What’s your bias? Do you think the breakout will hold or fake out?

Mixed market for GOLDHard to frame an idea for gold because the dxy looks strong and gold looks strong as well, indicating to me a mixed market. Sitting on the sidelines for gold is probably the better bet right now because we just had a sweep of buyside liquidty and tapped back into a daily fvg. Notice the candles, and how they didnt close above the swing high. So because gold looks bullish and dxy looks bullish, im not interested in gold for tuesday trading. But if i had to pikc, we continue up for gold and attacck that buyside/ eqaul highs

Gold Between Trade Optimism and Economic Concerns Gold is declining for the second consecutive session, although it remains above the critical psychological level of $3,300 per ounce in early spot trading this morning. Losses in the precious metal come amid renewed optimism over potential trade agreements that could de-escalate the global trade war, alongside upbeat sentiment regarding the strength of the U.S. economy following last Friday’s labor market data. The 90-day suspension of tariffs imposed by the administration of President Donald Trump is set to expire on Wednesday, but it could be extended at least until August 1, according to statements from both the president and Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. Both the United States and its allies and trade rivals appear eager to reach an agreement. China and the U.S. are moving to implement the framework of a previously reached trade deal by reviewing the export restrictions imposed on one another. Meanwhile, European officials stated last week that a draft agreement with the U.S. may be near, aiming to maintain base tariff rates at just 10%, according to The Wall Street Journal . Markets appear largely unbothered by trade developments, given the flexible and seemingly open-ended deadlines and the lack of major surprises, according to analysts cited by Reuters . This easing of concern may lead gold to gradually lose the risk premium it had gained from fears of a global trade war. Still, those concerns could return swiftly if negotiations fail and heavy tariffs are reinstated. The Washington Post reported that a potential U.S.-Vietnam trade deal may anger China and, in turn, reduce the likelihood of a broader deal between Beijing and Washington. Additionally, the prolonged uncertainty itself may start to weigh on the U.S. economy, which could, over time, rekindle demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. The Editorial Board of The Journal noted cracks in the U.S. labor market that lie beneath the better-than-expected headline figures released Friday. The report revealed weak hiring in key private sectors, a decline in manufacturing employment, and a drop in labor force participation to its lowest level since 2022. The Editorial Board called for dissipation of uncertainty around trade policy to encourage private sector hiring, as companies remain hesitant amid the current indecision in the White House. Another report from The Journal also warned that prolonged uncertainty could weaken the U.S. dollar, delay corporate investment and spending, and dampen business confidence. On a related front, The Journal’s chief economics commentator Greg Ip criticized what he called “fiscal dominance” under Trump, where the Federal Reserve may be pressured to lower interest rates to ease the burden of the rising deficit caused by tax cuts. He warned this could undermine economic strength and increase inflation in the long run. In my view, the early signs of a deteriorating U.S. fiscal position could become one of the key long-term drivers of sustained gold gains—even if markets remain complacent for now and equities continue climbing to record highs. This would not reflect an economic cycle, but rather a deeper shift in market fundamentals characterized by eroding confidence in the U.S. economy and its currency.

Gold Futures ($GC1!) — US Session Setup: Bearish Retest from 618🟡 Gold Futures ( COMEX:GC1! ) — US Session Setup: Bearish Retest from 0.618 Fib in Bullish Breakout Context ⏳ Pre-US Session Playbook We're currently watching Gold Futures ( COMEX:GC1! ) for a potential short opportunity into the US session open. While the broader structure has broken bullish, we're anticipating a bearish retest scenario from a key Fibonacci level — aligning cleanly with last week’s breakout structure. No positions have been taken yet — we are setting up for the US session — and are closely monitoring price action near the 0.618 retracement zone before committing. 📍 Setup Breakdown • 0.618 Fib Retracement from the last bearish impulse aligns with: ○ Recent volume shelf resistance ○ Retest zone from prior breakout ○ An overextended local push into thin volume above 3380 • Bullish Context: ○ HTF breakout from descending wedge structure remains valid ○ Macro buyers still in control ○ Upside continuation risk is high if sellers don’t show up • Short Bias Conditions: ○ Rejection or absorption in the 3385–3390 zone ○ Weak follow-through above 0.618 (failed breakout scenario) ○ Breakdown of LTF higher low structure post-test 🧠 Strategy Commentary Although we’re in bullish breakout mode, this is a tactical short setup — a fade into prior structure with clear invalidation. We're not fighting trend, but looking to short into exhaustion at a defined level, with tight risk parameters. Confluence Factors: • 0.618 fib alignment • VRVP volume shelf • Prior breakout structure retest • LTF divergence or absorption confirming the fade 🎯 Trade Parameters (Planned) • Entry Zone: ~3385–3390 • Stop Loss: Tight, 3395–3400 • Target Zone: 3342–3337 (full structure retest) 📌 Patience is key — this remains a setup until confirmed. We'll post live if and when conditions are met. Let the market come to you.
