Bullish Outlook Intact: Gold Targeting 3400-3410Gold encountered resistance and retreated several times on its way to 3400, but it remained above 3370 during the pullback, perfectly maintaining the integrity of its volatile upward trend. Therefore, even though gold's upward momentum has weakened, I still believe that due to structural support, gold still has the potential to reach the 3400-3410 area, and may even continue its bullish trend to the 3420-3430 area. As gold prices rise, market sentiment tends to be more optimistic, and the price behavior reflected by the candlestick chart becomes clearer. The lows of gold continue to rise, and the highs always insist on setting new highs in the process of rising. The oscillating upward structure is particularly obvious. While greatly limiting the retracement space, it also greatly consolidates the support structure below and is conducive to further rises in gold. At present, gold has been confirmed to have stabilized above 3370, so gold may not give another chance to fall back to the 3360-3350 area. Then in the next short-term trading, the gold pullback is a buying opportunity. We focus on the opportunity to participate in long gold after gold retreats to 3380-3370. The target will first look at the 3400-3410 area, and the higher target area is in the 3420-3430 area.

XAUUSD (Gold) Trading Plan – M15 Timeframe📅 For: Wednesday 6th August – Thursday 7th August 2025 ⏱ Timeframe: 15-Minute (M15) 📈 Strategy Type: Intraday Trend-Following with Scaling Out 📊 Bias: Bullish 🎯 Approach: Buy-the-Dip with Laddered Targets 🧠 Market Structure Overview Gold continues to build a solid bullish structure on the lower timeframes, respecting trend channels and maintaining higher highs and higher lows. After Monday and Tuesday’s impulsive moves, price action is now consolidating within a rising range, offering a clean opportunity to trade retracements toward support and ride continuation waves. M15 structure shows Gold is setting up for a healthy pullback toward key dynamic support, creating a prime dip-buying setup. This plan focuses on precision entries after retracement and riding momentum toward well-defined short-term resistance zones. 🔍 Execution Plan Details ✅ Phase 1: Buy After Retracement to 3369 (Key Intraday Support) Buy Level: 3369 Why This Level? Confluence of dynamic support (50 EMA on M15) 50–61.8% Fibonacci retracement of previous M15 impulse leg Intraday support formed from previous structure breakout Entry Confirmation: Bullish engulfing candle, pin bar, or rejection wick on M15 RSI (14) bouncing above 40 Price holds above 3367 for at least two candles Stop Loss: Below 3362 (structure invalidation zone) 🎯 Target 1: 3377 Reasoning: First resistance level from earlier London/NY sessions Key psychological intraday level Expected reaction zone from sellers Action at 3377: Take 30–40% profit Move SL to breakeven or just below 3371 Prepare for potential re-entry on pullback ✅ Phase 2: Wait for Pullback (Post-3377 Push) Retracement Zone: 3372–3373 Why? Higher low formation expected Intraday support from previous resistance-turned-support Good re-entry zone to catch second leg Confirmation to Re-enter: Small bullish flag breakout or strong bullish candle MACD crossover on M5/M15 for added momentum confidence 🎯 Target 2: 3383 Why This Target? Prior M15 swing high Aligned with 1.272 Fibonacci extension from initial move Could act as a mid-term resistance or NY high Action at 3383: Secure another 30–35% profit Move trailing SL up to 3377 or dynamic support (50 EMA) Watch volume and price reaction at this zone ✅ Phase 3: Final Re-Entry or Hold Toward 3390 Retracement Zone: 3378–3380 Conditions: Strong bullish price action continuation Rejection from support after healthy consolidation 🎯 Target 3: 3390 Why This Target? Next significant resistance and round number magnet Frequently tested during NY session extensions May attract liquidity from late buyers and algorithmic activity Final Action at 3390: Close all remaining positions Wait for reversal or potential breakout setup for the next day ⚠️ Risk & Trade Management Risk per trade: 1.0–1.5% of account capital SL Management: BE after TP1 Trailing SL based on price structure and moving average Entry Conditions: No entry without confirmation Avoid entries during major high-impact news events 🔁 Summary Table Phase Buy Level Target Stop Loss Action Phase 1 3369 3377 3362 Take 30–40%, move SL to BE Phase 2 3372–3373 3383 3369 Take 30–35%, trail SL Phase 3 3378–3380 3390 3372 Close all positions 🧭 Session Timing Considerations Asian Session: Watch for retracement and entry toward 3369 London Open (3pm SGT): Momentum likely builds to hit 3377–3383 New York Open (8:30pm SGT): Final push possible to 3390 if volume supports If price opens above 3377, wait for a pullback to re-enter — no FOMO chasing. 📊 Technical Tools Used Fibonacci Retracement & Extensions EMA 50 & 200 (M15) for dynamic support/resistance RSI (14) for momentum divergence and confirmation MACD (5,13,1) for timing micro-entries

Gold Analysis and Trading Strategy | August 6✅ Fundamental Analysis 🔹 Tariff Policies Increase Global Uncertainty: U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed imposing high tariffs on countries such as Canada, Brazil, and India. This move may increase operating costs for global businesses and further intensify economic uncertainty, prompting a continued inflow of safe-haven capital into the gold market. 🔹 Fed Leadership Change Expectations Bullish for Gold: Trump has expressed intentions to replace current Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The market anticipates that the new appointee will likely adopt a more dovish stance, which could suppress the U.S. dollar and provide medium-to-long-term support for gold prices. ✅ Technical Analysis 🔸 During the Asian session, gold experienced a slight pullback but stabilized afterward, maintaining a steady upward consolidation structure. This trend is expected to continue into the European session, with short-term focus on a potential breakout above key resistance zones. 🔸 4-Hour Chart Analysis: Price action shows signs of rejection near the accelerated uptrend line, indicating short-term downside pressure. Gold is currently near the upper Bollinger Band, with MACD momentum weakening—suggesting a possible technical correction and that caution is warranted when buying at higher levels. 🔸 1-Hour Chart Analysis: The price has started to flatten out and is now trading below the moving averages. Key technical indicators such as KDJ and MACD have formed bearish crossovers, implying a likely short-term pullback before the trend resumes higher. 🔴 Resistance Levels: 3385–3390 / 3405–3430 🟢 Support Levels: 3365–3370 / 3345–3350 ✅ European Session Trading Strategy Reference 🔺 Long Strategy: 🔰 If gold pulls back and stabilizes in the 3365–3370 area, consider light long positions. 🎯 Target: 3390–3400 🔻 Short Strategy: 🔰 If gold rebounds to the 3390-3395 area and shows signs of resistance, consider light short positions. 🎯 Target: 3370–3360 ⚠️ Strategy Summary: 🔰 A confirmed breakout above 3390 could open up upside potential toward the 3400–3430 range. 🔰 A breakdown below 3350 would increase the risk of a deeper correction. 🔥Trading Reminder: Trading strategies are time-sensitive, and market conditions can change rapidly.

gold trading strategy for todayThe price is 3,400 USD/ounce. The main reason is believed to be due to the weaker-than-expected US labor market, increasing the possibility of the US Federal Reserve (FED) cutting interest rates, thereby promoting the increase of this precious metal as investors seek gold as a safe haven. Some analysts note that, since reaching a historical peak of 3,500 USD on April 22, 2025, the gold price has fluctuated in a narrow range from 3,180 to 3,400 USD/ounce. Based on macro assumptions, analysts predict that the gold price may reach 3,850 USD/ounce in the second quarter of 2026 and the current period is like "compressing the spring" - preparing for a strong increase in gold prices in the near future. Meanwhile, Citigroup (a US multinational financial group) has just raised its forecast for world gold prices to $3,500/ounce in the next 3 months, $3,300/ounce for 6-2025, $3,300 - $3,600/ounce. The main reasons include concerns about US economic growth, high inflation due to US President Donald Trump's tariff policy and a weakening USD.

"Gold on Fire! Smart Money Bulls Aiming for Final Target🟡 "Gold on Fire! Smart Money Bulls Aiming for Final Target Overview: The XAUUSD chart presents a clear smart money structure, showing a bullish recovery from a strong demand zone and a current move toward a significant supply (resistance) area. 🔍 Key Technical Highlights: Strong Support Zone The price reacted powerfully from the well-marked strong support zone (~3,260), aligned with a previous Bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) and BOS (Break of Structure), confirming bullish intent. Bullish Market Structure A clean CHoCH (Change of Character) confirmed the end of the previous bearish leg. Multiple BOS followed, solidifying the bullish shift in momentum. Liquidity Grab & Price Expansion Price swept equal lows (EQL) and mitigated bullish FVG, collecting sell-side liquidity before reversing. The breakout pushed toward the current level of ~3,380, targeting the Buy-Side Liquidity zone and resistance. Resistance & Fair Value Gap The final target is aligned at 3,427.83, situated inside a high-probability bearish FVG and resistance zone. This area previously rejected price (noted with the red circle), making it a critical supply zone. Partial Target Hit Price has already achieved half of the projected move, indicating bullish strength and proper SMC execution. The current consolidation near the mid-level suggests accumulation or re-accumulation before a final push toward the target. 📈 Educational Notes: Fair Value Gaps (FVG) highlight inefficiencies in price delivery. These zones often act as magnets for price and reversal points, as seen here. Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) are crucial for identifying trend shifts. This chart reflects a textbook bullish transition. Liquidity concepts (EQL, Buy-Side) emphasize institutional behavior. Price often hunts liquidity before moving to new highs or lows. ✅ Conclusion: XAUUSD is playing out a well-structured bullish smart money setup, with price currently in mid-path toward the final target. Traders should monitor reactions at the 3,427 resistance zone, which will be critical for potential reversal or continuation scenarios.

Gold Breaks Support – Risk of Pullback Toward $3,310📊 Market Summary: Gold prices initially rose on weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data, which lowered Treasury yields and weakened the U.S. dollar. However, after breaking the key support at $3,365, gold continued to decline toward $3,354, and briefly touched $3,352, signaling rising technical selling pressure. Despite a 92% market expectation for a Fed rate cut in September, the technical breach increases the risk of a deeper correction. 📉 Technical Analysis: • Key Resistance: Around $3,365–$3,370 – this zone now acts as short-term resistance; stronger resistance lies at $3,375–$3,380 if prices recover. • Nearest Support: The $3,365 level was broken. New support is seen at $3,352–$3,350; a continued drop may bring prices to $3,335, and possibly toward $3,310–$3,300. • EMA 09: Price is now below the 9-day EMA, suggesting a short-term bearish trend. • Momentum / Volume / Candlestick: RSI is near 50, slightly bearish; volume is tapering on the downside, indicating distribution. Early signs of a head-and-shoulders (H&S) pattern are developing. 📌 Outlook: Gold may continue declining in the short term if it stays below the $3,350–$3,352 zone. A further drop toward the $3,335 – $3,310 region is possible. If price rebounds and closes above $3,365, the bearish momentum could be neutralized. 💡 Suggested Trade Strategy: 🔻 SELL XAU/USD : $3,355–$3,358 🎯 TP: 40/80/200 pips ❌ SL: ~$3,361 🔺 BUY XAU/USD : $3,305–$3,302 (if price pulls back deeper) 🎯 TP: 40/80/200 pips ❌ SL: ~$3,299

Gold Extends Gains as USD Weakens📊 Market Overview: Gold prices are extending their gains during the Asian and European sessions today, as the US dollar weakens following weaker-than-expected US jobs data. Rising unemployment and a softer Non-Farm Payroll report boosted expectations that the Fed may cut interest rates in September. The US 10-year Treasury yield also dipped slightly, supporting gold's safe-haven appeal. 📉 Technical Analysis: • Key Resistance: $3,385 – $3,390 • Nearest Support: $3,365 – $3,370 • EMA: Price is trading above the EMA 09, indicating a short-term bullish trend • Candles / Volume / Momentum: H1 candles show steady buying pressure with stable volume, but we should monitor potential profit-taking if price nears the $3,390–$3,400 zone. 📌 Outlook: Gold may continue to rise in the short term if USD weakness persists and bond yields stay low. However, failure to break above $3,390 could lead to a pullback toward support levels. 💡 Suggested Trading Strategy: 🔺 BUY XAU/USD: $3,365 – $3,368 🎯 TP: 40/80/200 pips ❌ SL: $3,362 🔻 SELL XAU/USD : $3,392 – $3,395 (if reversal signal appears) 🎯 TP: 40/80/200 pips ❌ SL: $3,398

XAUUSD 30M Range Trap Holding, But Will Bulls Break Above $3366Gold is currently trading within a well defined intraday range, with clear resistance around $3,366.36 and support near $3,339.78. After a strong initial move, price action has stalled, reflecting indecision and balanced order flow between buyers and sellers. The market now approaches a key inflection point: → A confirmed 30 minute candle close above $3,366.36 would signal potential bullish continuation, with immediate targets at $3,368.99 and $3,371.11 → Conversely, a close below $3,339.78 may trigger a downside move toward $3,331.66, followed by $3,328.21 Momentum remains neutral within the range, and any premature entries carry increased risk of whipsaw. Patience is essential, a clean breakout with structure and volume confirmation will offer higher probability trade setups. This remains a rangebound environment until proven otherwise. Breakout traders should stay alert, but disciplined. #XAUUSD #Gold #TechnicalAnalysis #PriceAction #SupportResistance #BreakoutWatch #MarketStructure #30mChart
