Gann Astro Intraday: Live Gold Trade in ActionIn this trading idea, I will provide a detailed breakdown of the live trade I executed on Monday, January 12, 2024, on gold, using advanced mathematical modules of Gann Astro. This trade was entered precisely at the market low, as I had calculated the timing of the low formation three hours in advance. While the trade setup was accurate, it took over 7 hours for the price to reach the target. In this breakdown, I will explain the complete trade analysis with supporting data, charts, and visuals. Additionally, I will dive into the psychological aspects of holding a trade for an extended period, maintaining patience, and interpreting price action as a delivery algorithm. I'll also discuss observing liquidity buildup in real-time and the mindset required to stay composed while navigating market movements. Significant points of this Gann Astro trade are as below - Detailed breakdown of the live gold trade executed on Monday, January 12, 2024, using advanced Gann Astro mathematical modules. - Trade entry was made precisely at the market low, calculated 3 hours in advance. - Explanation of the trade setup with supporting data, charts, and visuals. - Insights into the psychology of holding trades for an extended period (this trade took over 7 hours to reach the target). - Understanding price action as a price delivery algorithm and observing liquidity buildup in real-time. - Discussion on maintaining patience and composure during prolonged trades. As shown in the charts, the reversal time for gold was calculated 3 hours in advance using Gann Astro Trading principles and mathematical modules. The reversal occurred at 8:00 AM New York time, as observed on the 90-minute chart, where I anticipated the price to form a low. Now, you might wonder why the 90-minute timeframe was chosen. This ties into the universal concept that everything vibrates at a specific frequency, including markets, aligning with the significance of 3-6-9, as extensively discussed by Gann. Knowing the exact reversal time eliminates uncertainty in trading, which directly enhances trading psychology. This clarity allows for patience and composure, avoiding impulsive actions. The ability to stay calm and wait for a setup to align with your analysis is an art mastered by only a few traders. Most traders operate out of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), often taking uncertain trades that fall under the category of gambling. True success in trading lies in patience, discipline, and the ability to observe the charts without acting prematurely. These traits separate professional traders from the majority who struggle to maintain consistency. BUY ENTRY IN GOLD LONG TRADE WITH GANN ASTRO After waiting for 3 hours, the market reached my calculated time and price level, aligning perfectly. As Gann emphasized, when time and price are equal, the market must reverse. With this principle, I executed a trade on gold using Gann Astro techniques in intraday trading. This is where the true challenge of trading begins—not in entering the trade, but in maintaining patience until the price either hits your stop loss or your profit target. Many traders fail at this critical stage due to a lack of discipline and risk management, trading without stop loss or proper planning. To trade successfully, one must approach the market with precision, patience, and a sound strategy. Key Points: 1. Stop Loss is Essential: - Trading without a stop loss is equivalent to gambling with hard-earned money. - A solid risk management strategy is non-negotiable for long-term success. 2. Risk Management Rules: - Always limit risk to 1% of your account per trade. - Never over-leverage or expose yourself to unnecessary risk. 3. Learn to Stay Patient: - Patience is a core skill in trading—waiting for the market to hit your levels and then staying disciplined in the trade. - Avoid impulsive decisions driven by fear or greed. 4.Avoid Common Pitfalls: - Many traders lose their entire capital within weeks due to poor risk management and lack of preparation. - Focus on learning proper risk management before entering live markets. By incorporating these principles, you can significantly improve your chances of success and build a sustainable trading career. Patience in trading is a skill that requires not just discipline but also a deep understanding of how to manage emotions while observing the market's algorithmic price delivery in real-time. One of the most effective ways to stay focused is by minimizing the psychological triggers that impact your decision-making. Colours like red and green can strongly influence your mood and perspective during trading, which is why I switched to black-and-white candles when I started trading back in 2019. This change eliminates the emotional bias caused by colour psychology. Additionally, hiding your profit and loss figures while trading is another powerful way to stay emotionally neutral. Seeing how much you are making or losing can trigger fear of loss or overconfidence, which may lead to impulsive decisions. Removing these distractions helps you maintain clarity and focus during your trading session. Key Points: 1. Eliminate Colour Psychology: - Switch to black-and-white candles to avoid emotional biases caused by red and green colours. - This reduces the impact of visual triggers on your mood and decision-making. 2. Hide Profit and Loss Figures: - Turn off the display of your profit and loss numbers on the trading platform. - This prevents emotional reactions like fear of loss or overconfidence from influencing your trades. 3. Stay Focused on Price Action: - Concentrate solely on the market's price delivery without distractions. - Train yourself to analyse the market algorithm objectively without emotional interference. 4. Build a Calm Trading Environment: - Create a setup that minimizes external triggers and focuses on clear decision-making. - Practice mindfulness and emotional control to remain patient and disciplined. By implementing these steps, you can enhance your trading psychology and improve your ability to read the market with greater clarity and precision. Once you master the foundational skills of managing emotions and maintaining patience, the real challenge begins—understanding the price delivery algorithms and their underlying intentions. The market operates on an algorithmic framework, where price delivery is designed to build liquidity and then seek it. To identify this process, you need to observe where liquidity is being left in real-time, which is often around old highs and lows. These areas act as targets for the algorithm as it seeks to capture liquidity. In the chart, I have marked the live formation of liquidity in the market, illustrating how the algorithm builds and targets these zones. By understanding this process, you gain an edge in predicting the market's next moves. Keeping a detailed record of every trade, you take is crucial for long-term success in trading. Use software tools to record live trades and store the data systematically. This practice allows you to review your past performance, analyse what worked, and identify areas for improvement. Journaling is an essential habit in trading, as it not only tracks your progress but also accelerates your learning curve. The most successful traders consistently review their past trades, assess their strategies, and refine their approach to stay ahead in the game. It’s been 6 hours since I entered the trade. I was patient and have mastered the art of trading psychology. With Gann Trading astro techniques and years of trading experience backed by data, I’ve honed my mindset for consistent success. For new traders, here are 10 ways to improve your trading psychology: 1. Cultivate Emotional Discipline. Mastering trading psychology begins with controlling emotions like fear and greed. Recognize emotional triggers and respond with logic, not impulsivity. 2. Develop a Trading Plan. A well-structured trading plan helps eliminate emotional decision-making. Include entry, exit, and risk management strategies to stay disciplined. 3. Practice Risk Management. Never risk more than a small percentage of your capital on a single trade. Knowing your maximum loss tolerance minimizes stress and preserves mental clarity. 4. Keep a Trading Journal. Record every trade, including rationale, outcomes, and emotions. Regularly review the journal to identify patterns and areas for improvement. 5. Focus on Process Over Outcome. Prioritize consistent execution of your strategy rather than obsessing over profits. This shift in mindset builds confidence and long-term success. 6. Learn to Accept Losses. Losses are a natural part of trading. Accept them as learning experiences rather than personal failures to maintain a positive mindset. 7. Practice Visualization and Mental Rehearsal. Visualize different market scenarios and how you will respond. Mental rehearsal prepares you for stressful situations and improves decision-making. 8. Stay Patient and Avoid Overtrading. Wait for high-probability setups that align with your strategy. Overtrading often stems from impatience and leads to unnecessary mistakes. 9. Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle. Take care of your physical and mental health. Regular exercise, proper nutrition, and adequate rest are essential for maintaining focus and emotional stability. 10. Seek Continuous Education. Stay updated with market trends, refine your strategies, and learn from experienced traders. An informed trader is a confident and less emotionally reactive trader. Once you follow all these steps, the market rewards you with good trading profits. Just like in this chart, I entered at the low and exited at the top by practicing patience and executing trades only with a Gann astro and mathematical edge. This disciplined approach ensures consistent results and builds the foundation for long-term trading success. 1. Gann's Principle: Time is More Important than Price. Understanding the timing of market movements is crucial, as time often dictates the outcome of trades more than price levels. 2. Everything in the Universe Vibrates on Specific Frequencies. Market trends and patterns are influenced by universal vibrations, making it essential to align trading strategies with these natural cycles.

Gold: Under Attack, Key Support in DangerThe gold market is experiencing significant volatility, with prices undergoing a correction after approaching multi-month highs. Currently, XAU/USD is trading around $2,740, below the key resistance at $2,790, as recent declines reflect a mix of profit-taking, technical pressures, and macroeconomic factors. Recent selling has triggered a natural correction after prices neared significant resistance levels, while expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts have been scaled back, strengthening the US Dollar and putting further pressure on gold prices. Algorithmic trading has also amplified the declines. Market sentiment has been impacted by comments from the US President regarding tariffs, which have boosted the dollar and reduced demand for gold as a safe haven. Additionally, weak PMI data from China in January has indicated economic contraction, fueling global risk sentiment and further weighing on gold. Despite the recent drop, gold previously benefited from a weaker dollar and geopolitical tensions, which pushed prices near record highs. However, trade concerns and the recent strengthening of the dollar have reversed this trend. Technically, gold finds provisional support around $2,730, although further bearish pressure could push it toward $2,700 or lower. The key resistance at $2,790 remains challenging to breach without positive macroeconomic momentum or a weaker dollar, while $2,730 acts as the first defensive level, followed by $2,700, which could serve as a stronger base. Traders should focus on upcoming events, including the Federal Reserve's rate decision on January 29, which will directly influence the dollar and, consequently, gold prices. A more hawkish stance could intensify pressure on gold. The European Central Bank’s decision on January 30 could also shift global sentiment, while US Q4 GDP data may play a role, as strong growth figures could further support the dollar and limit gold’s upside potential. Gold is currently in a correction phase, and while key resistance stands at $2,790, support near $2,730 remains crucial. If this support level breaks, gold could face additional downside pressure, though signs of a global economic slowdown or dovish signals from central banks could spark a recovery.

Analysis of gold market trend on Monday Analysis of gold news: Spot gold fluctuated and fell in early Asian trading on Monday (January 27), and is currently trading around $2,757/ounce. Gold prices continued to rise by 0.6% last Friday (November 24), reaching a high of $2,785.86/ounce during the session, just one step away from the historical high of $2,789.95, closing at $2,770/ounce, up 2.5% on a weekly basis, the fourth consecutive week of gains, as uncertainty about US President Trump's trade policy has caused the dollar to lose momentum, thereby boosting demand for safe-haven gold. The dollar fell 0.63% on Friday to close at 107.46, with a weekly decline of 1.77%, marking its worst weekly performance in more than a year. People expect that the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Trump will be lower than previously feared and are unlikely to Triggering an international trade war. In addition to the Fed's interest rate decision, this week will also release the US December durable goods orders monthly rate, the Bank of Canada's interest rate decision, the European Central Bank's interest rate decision, the US fourth quarter GDP data, and the US December PCE data. It can be said to be a super week, and investors need to make position adjustments in advance. The survey shows that most analysts and retail investors tend to be bullish on the trend of gold in the next week. Gold technical analysis: Gold closed higher last week, approaching the previous high of 2789, and then paused slightly in the small cycle near 2785. The overall weekly K-line closed at a high level. The overall rhythm of last week was a unilateral step-up, which was relatively stable, with a step back, but the overall upward trend was good. Although it surged on Friday, it formed a small hammer-shaped positive line with an upper shadow line. The overall trend showed signs of adjustment. Therefore, we should not chase the bullish trend and consider it when it falls back. As for the short position, it is unreasonable not to go short when it is close to the new high. From the current market, the upper pressure has moved down to the 2783 line. Gold fell back under pressure from the historical high on Friday. Gold fell. Without breaking through the historical high pressure, gold rebounded in the early Asian trading and continued to go short. The gold 4-hour chart is a step-by-step oscillatory upward channel. With the release of space, the volume energy is slightly weakened, which may be accompanied by a wash-like consolidation and correction move, and it will turn back step by step. It will accumulate momentum to recover and rise again. Combined with the weekly closing, there should be an inertial rise this week. However, after breaking through the high, the indicator in the attached picture will enter a high level, and there will be a need for correction. At that time, it will depend on the correction method in the market, whether it is a strong consolidation correction or a deep correction. The two methods should be combined with the intraday pattern. Different layouts, strong consolidation correction or sideways and then higher, deep retracement correction. It is easy to go back and forth and then rise after washing losses, which is more challenging to grasp the entry point. Try to be more prudent at the beginning of this week and set the time after the European market. Gold rose and fell in 30 minutes. Gold opened directly with a gap in the morning. The strength of gold bulls began to be insufficient. The resistance above gold still suppressed the rise of gold. Gold continued to go short at highs under the pressure of the historical high of 2790 in the morning. Gold rebounded near 2780 and could be shorted first. If gold falls below 2763, gold shorts will continue to exert force. The market is changing rapidly. Since gold cannot break through the historical high in one fell swoop, it is still difficult to break through directly in the short term. Gold will continue to be short after rebounding in early trading. On the whole, our professional and senior gold analyst team recommends rebounding shorting as the main strategy for short-term gold operations today, and callback longing as the auxiliary strategy. The short-term focus on the upper side is 2772-2777 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 2745-2740 support.

XAUUSD Intraday 27/01/2025 XAUUSD played out as expected on Friday, and so far today, we’re seeing a pullback to the previous lower high level of 2746, where rejections are forming. If price holds above this level, we could see a push to test 2761, and if that breaks, gold may continue its climb toward the all-time high at 2788. However, if 2746 fails to hold, expect a deeper pullback toward the 2718 level. For safer entries, it’s best to wait for confirmation above 2761 before considering buys. Keep an eye on how price reacts to these key levels.

Gold approaching my Target zoneAs firstly discussed on title of my yesterday's session commentary: "Gold reversed however Bullish potential remains strong" and in discussion: "My position: Game plan is simple, Buying Gold above #2,752.80 benchmark again and #2,742.80 break-out to the downside has #2,700.80 benchmark on aim." Fundamental analysis: The inability to pierce aggressively below #2,742.80 Support on Hourly 4 chart along with the sharp fall on equities and DX taking strong hits, are putting Gold (Xau-Usd Spot) under heavy Buying pressure again. At the same time DX has made a new multi-Month Low’s, and the fact that Gold was still more or less stationary when DX was in the same manner leads me to believe that Short-term correlation is not switched (Gold - DX / my main correlation and point of interests at the moment) and capital drawn from DX is making Investors park their capital to Low-risk assets such as Gold which is soaring at the moment. DX Bottom rejection is preventing steeper uptrend on Gold, defending the #2,772.80 - #2,782.80 Resistance level comfortably. Same configuration suggests that as long as DX is Trading near local Low’s, while Bond Yields engages movements within Neutral Price-action Rectangle, Gold will Trade under heavy Buying pressure. In any case the Hourly 4 and Daily chart Technicals suggest that if #2,772.80 firmly gets invalidated, I should be seeing #2,785.80 - #2,792.80 configuration next and #2,800.80 psychological benchmark (record High's) in extension. Keep your Buying orders and Trade accordingly.

XAUUSD Still a great multi year investment. Why it can reach $40Gold / XAUUSD recovered the November-December 2024 correction and resumed the long term bullish trend. On this 1W chart, it is evident that the yellow metal is incredibly bullish after crossing over the top of the multi year Cup pattern in March 2024. This Cup started on the 2011 High (All Time High then) and was practically the Bear Cycle after the golden multi year rally that followed Gold's ETF lauch in the early 2000s. Right now we have started Gold's new Bull Cycle and with the 1week MA50 supporting, we expect another 5 years of growth. Gold remains a sound long term investment, especially in a highly inflationary environment. If you are a long term investor, buy and hold until $4000.

Stick to shorting goldAs mentioned in my previous analysis, although gold remains in a clear uptrend, the signs of a short squeeze are increasingly evident. Therefore, in short-term trading, we should refrain from chasing long positions at this stage. If gold fails to decisively break through the 2760–2765 resistance zone, a significant corrective move could occur at any time, which is why my current focus remains on shorting gold. From the current price structure, we can observe a pattern where gold rallies by $60–65 following each confirmed bullish signal, only to retrace by $40 thereafter. Since the last confirmed bullish signal, gold has already advanced $62, indicating a high probability of a $40 correction based on this historical pattern. This means gold could retrace to test the 2740–2730 support range or even approach the 2720 level during this phase of consolidation. This is precisely why I prefer shorting gold in the current scenario. As my trading plan, I initiated a short position near the 2760 level and continue to hold it. Let’s aim to capitalize on this opportunity and secure profits from the downside ahead of most market participants. Here's to a promising outcome! Bros, have you followed me to short gold?

Gold’s Journey to $3,300: Mid-April Reversal! SELL NOW!Gold has been following a defined Elliott Wave pattern, and our analysis suggests significant movement ahead. Since touching the $2,600 mark per ounce, gold rallied to a high near $2,750. This move aligns with the completion of a sub-wave structure within the larger Elliott Wave cycle. The Wave Structure From a technical perspective, we believe gold is currently in the process of completing Wave 4. The rally to $2,750 marked the end of Wave B, a pivotal moment before a corrective pullback. Our analysis suggests that this pullback, classified as Wave C of Wave 4, is expected to drive gold prices down to approximately $2,400 per ounce. This corrective phase is projected to bottom out around mid-April 2025, creating a robust support level. Once this corrective phase concludes, we anticipate a strong bullish reversal. This upward momentum will form Wave 5, pushing gold prices to unprecedented highs, with our target set at $3,300 per ounce. Key Levels and Invalidation • Support Level for Wave 4 Completion: $2,400 per ounce • Wave 5 Target Price: $3,300 per ounce • Invalidation Level: Should gold exceed $2,790 per ounce during the Wave 4 corrective phase, our analysis would require reassessment. Contextual Analysis This forecast aligns with broader market movements and macroeconomic factors influencing gold prices. Gold often serves as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty, and its trajectory mirrors shifts in investor sentiment. The anticipated pullback to $2,400 reflects a natural correction within the Elliott Wave framework, providing a foundation for the next major bullish wave. This scenario underscores the importance of patience and strategic entry points for traders and investors. Vital Direction’s Perspective Our advanced technical analysis indicates that gold remains a compelling asset for both short-term and long-term opportunities. The projected Wave 5, culminating at $3,300, highlights the immense potential for growth as the market completes this Elliott Wave cycle. Conclusion Gold’s journey from $2,400 to $3,300 is expected to be a pivotal moment in the commodity market. For traders and investors, these insights provide actionable information to navigate the coming months effectively.
