The latest analysis and operation suggestions of gold in the dayGold prices have been rising since the opening today. It is only a matter of time before it breaks through 3400. From a technical perspective, the MACD golden cross has appeared, and the gold moving average continues to radiate upward, indicating that the bulls are strong. But at the same time, the RSI indicator has entered the overbought zone, and short-term profit-taking may be possible. All retracements are opportunities to go long. It is currently not recommended that you pursue long positions and wait patiently for retracement trading opportunities. Pay attention to the 3400-3420 resistance level on the top and the 3370-3360 support level on the bottom. If it breaks through, pay attention to the second support level of 3345
Operation strategy 1: It is recommended to go short at 3396-3403 on the rebound, stop loss at 3410, and the target is 3380-3360.
Operation strategy 2: It is recommended to go long at 3355-3350 on the pullback, stop loss at 3343, and the target is 3380-3400.

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
Good day to have away from the markets as nothing has really happened on Gold since the London session. We did say support 3210 needs to break, and it's given numerous opportunities to take the red box trades, apart from that nothing exciting compared to recent PA.
We have a slight break here with resistance 3230 above which is likely, we want to see if they can break through and attempt that 3250-55 region shown on the chart. We're accumulating so we can expect a breakout, lets see how that level reacts if it gets there.
Not much more to report on.
As always, trade safe.

GOLD soars over $50, heading for new ATHSpot OANDA:XAUUSD surged, with an intraday gain of more than $50, now trading around $3,281/oz to fresh all-time highs.
OANDA:XAUUSD hit a record high as the Trump administration launched investigations that could widen the trade war, boosting demand for safe-haven assets, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday launched an investigation into the need to impose tariffs on critical minerals, the latest move in the widening trade war.
According to a White House fact sheet, the executive order signed by Trump on Tuesday directs the secretary of commerce to initiate a Section 232 investigation under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to “assess the impact of imports of these materials on the security and resilience of the United States.”
On Wednesday, gold traders will focus on U.S. retail sales data for March, as well as speeches from Federal Reserve officials, primarily Chairman Jerome Powell.
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
After gaining support from the 3,200USD price level, which is an important support for readers to pay attention to in the weekly publication, gold has skyrocketed towards the weekly target level of 3,295USD.
Currently, there is no resistance that can prevent the gold price from heading towards 3,295USD, and the uptrend is still absolutely dominant on the technical chart.
In terms of momentum, the Relative Strength Index is just approaching the overbought zone and is not giving any signal of a possible correction in the short term. Therefore, in terms of momentum, gold can still continue to increase in price.
During the day, the upward trend of gold prices will be noticed again at the following positions.
Support: 3,245 – 3,223 – 3,200 USD
Resistance: 3,295 – 3,300 USD

Gold short-term trading looks at retracements
Don't make things difficult for yourself, don't waste the time, don't expect any sudden surprises, just hope there will be no sudden troubles, and that will be good enough.
Today, we will focus on the suppression of 3361-67. If this level is not broken, it may weaken and fall. Of course, if it breaks and rises, the price may still be strong. Therefore, short-term operations around this range today can be carried out with a stop loss of 3175 and a take-profit of 3317/3300. Only when it falls below can we further look at 3280-3250
Gold short-term trading: short near 3365, stop loss 3375, take profit 3317/3300

US policy news triggers huge shock in gold Analytical StrategyThe short-term 4-hour middle track 3380 line has been lost, becoming a key counter-pressure point. As long as the price cannot stand on this position again, it will maintain a downward correction trend. If it falls below 3292, the gains and losses of the 66-day moving average 3260 will be concerned. The 1-hour level K line is under pressure from ma10 and ma5 and continues to fall. After last night's consolidation and pull-up, the current K line has re-run above ma10, and at the same time, macd forms a golden cross below the zero axis. This wave of 200 US dollars of rapid exploration has almost corrected most of the overbought situation. If the price continues to fall, or with the help of bottom divergence, it will slowly brew a short-term bottom. Today's gold rebound reminds that attention should be paid to the resistance below 3340, and the limit is below 3356. If it is not under pressure, it will still be bearish adjustment. Strong support is at 3260 or 3245. After the position stabilizes, it will begin to consider bottom-fishing. For today's short-term operation of gold, it is recommended to focus on rebound shorting and supplemented by callback longing. The short-term focus on the upper side is 3350-3370 first-line resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 3300-3280 first-line support.
Gold profit taking continuesThe gold market opened at 3337.5 yesterday due to the profit-taking of the previous day. After the market fell back to 3315.6, the market rose strongly to fill the gap. The daily line reached a high of 3386.7 and then fell strongly. The daily line reached a low of 3259.6 and then the market consolidated at the end of the day. The daily line finally closed at 3287.9 and the market closed with a long upper shadow line. After this pattern ended, today's market continued to be empty. In terms of points, the short positions at 3496, 3468 and 3442 the day before were reduced and the stop loss was followed up at 3400.

Gold Trading Signals!!Looking back to last Thursday, our gold short strategy hit the mark perfectly. Prices dropped nearly $60 as expected, and we captured around $45 in profit from that move. Overall, we secured over $200 in profit space last week—an excellent performance.
Today, gold opened higher and continues to climb. Technically, bulls still have room to push higher, with 3360 as a key resistance level. However, judging by the current momentum, we may even see a test of 3400. That said, trading is about precision, not perfection. If prices approach 3380 and the upward momentum stalls, it may be time to watch for a pullback. On the other hand, if strength continues, holding some light long positions remains a relatively low-risk strategy.
Trading Strategy for Today:
📉 Sell in the 3380–3410 range
📈 Buy in the 3307–3280 range
🔁 Flexible trades between 3360–3330 / 3272–3315
Gold is bearish, don't chase the decline
There is no technology to speak of for gold at present. Basically, it is a mindless long position. After breaking the new high again today, a strategy of chasing long positions was decisively given. At present, members who entered the market early have made a profit of 40 points. This market has to be said to be too crazy.
Since gold started to rise from the low point of 2956, except for two normal adjustments in the middle, the price of gold has maintained a strong upward trend relying on the MA5 moving average for most of the time. This trend characteristic shows that in a shorter period, the MA5 moving average has become an important support line for the rise in gold prices. As long as the price runs above the MA5 moving average, the bulls will dominate.
At present, 3500 is about to arrive in a flash, it is just a matter of time. The current market depends on everyone's courage. There are more than a dozen profits when you enter the long position, which is easy, basically without callbacks, and any callback is an opportunity. In terms of operation, you can continue to do more by relying on the short-term moving average MA5.

Gold Intraday Trading Plan 4/22/2025Gold has been in the bullish trend for a while and there is no sign of slowing down at this moment. However, as explained in my weekly summary and forecast, I do expect it to correct this week. I am looking for selling opportunity from channel top around 3450. 1st target is channel bottom at around 3358. 2nd target is at 3275.
The relentless growth of goldDescription
Given the strong breakout of last week's high and the conversion of the resistance zone into support, the price is expected to continue towards 3450-3460 after a pullback to 3358.
Of course, with this strong trend, a pullback may not occur.
Unfortunately, my trade(BUY POSITION) entry point did not occur in the previous position and gold performed much stronger than I had anticipated at the beginning of the week.
Possible positions this week
A:Suitable prices for BUY positions
1)3358-3347
B:Suitable prices for SELL positions
1)3398~3408
( This high-risk trade is still active )
This is just an analysis and everyone is responsible for their own work.
Hoping for a good and profitable week.

Gold skyrocketing as expectedAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: "My position: Gold is soaring as it represents safe-haven asset, I'd prefer to stay with the trend (Bullish). I have attempted to Buy Gold on #3,208.80 and since Price-action tested #3,214.80 I moved my Stop on breakeven and it got triggered moments ahead which left me without order and Gold delivered #3,225.80 extension. However I have managed to re-Sell #3,225.80. I will keep Buying every dip on Gold for maximum Profit optimisation from my calculated re-Buy zones. #3,192.80 is Support for current Bullish motion."
Technical analysis: I have announced that Gold might skyrocket as next Resistance zone is priced at #3,322.80 / break of it might extend the uptrend towards #3,352.80 benchmark configuration. Gold has invalidated solid Neutral Rectangle on Hourly 4 chart and if you recall, delivered #2 additional Higher High’s extension (my chart’s explanation that Gold always delivers #3 Higher High's extensions ahead of full scale reversal, so practically I have one more Higher High’s to expect according to the cycle). DX (# -0.63% almost) is again turning the market sentiment to Bullish on Intra-day basis, and according to my estimations, current Buying sequence was due to the Trump's tariff's talks, which is being aggressively Bought due to the remarks.
My position: Congratulations for those who Bought Gold from #3,220's as per my advice.
How to break through the gold shock patternOperation suggestionsTechnical analysis of gold: The current gold price is in a stalemate stage of long-short game. On the one hand, the path of the Fed's easing policy has been basically clear, and the US dollar is facing correction pressure; on the other hand, the stable global risk sentiment and the strong performance of the stock market have weakened the attractiveness of gold as a safe-haven tool. The repeated signals of global trade negotiations have also made the market direction unclear. From a technical point of view, gold has received support after the correction to the 26.3% Fibonacci retracement level near 3317 this week, and has returned to above $3,300 in the short term. The upper resistance focuses on the position of 3380. Once it breaks through, it will open up the space leading to the 3400 mark.
From the daily chart of gold, yesterday's gold price fell sharply and recorded a large real body Yin line K-line pattern. The peak pattern of the previous price high is more obvious, suggesting that the upper pressure effect is strong. The MACD indicator double line began to turn downward, increasing the risk of further correction in the short term. However, the MA5 and MA10 moving averages have not turned downward yet. You can pay attention to the support and defense of the moving average. From the 4-hour gold chart, the gold price has been fluctuating and falling since it came under pressure at the 3500 level. The current price has fallen back to the 3260 level, with a short-term decline of 240 US dollars. Although there has been a rebound during the day, the upward trend has been destroyed. The MACD indicator has issued a dead cross signal, suggesting that the correction trend may have started.
Gold fell after rising in the Asian session, and fell below the support levels of 3351 and 3330. Now the market rebounded near 3314, which is also in line with our analysis of the long and short trends. In the big trend, the gold rally did not exceed 3380, so there is still a downward demand, that is to say, it can only be regarded as a rebound during the decline. In the short term, this wave of gains stopped at 3367. Now it broke through 3351 and pierced 3316 to rebound. The main focus on the upper side is the support-to-resistance level of 51, followed by 3342. Specifically, you can wait for the area near 3345 to go short and see the gold price break the previous rebound low of 3314 to 3300. If it breaks down effectively, you can move the protection loss down to see the position of the rebound turning point of 3283 and 3260. On the whole, the short-term operation strategy of gold today is to short on rebound and long on callback. The short-term focus on the upper side is 3350-3370 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 3300-3280 support.
GOD-SELL strategy weekly chart Regression ChannelGOLD has not had a decent correction as yet, and every day we are higher showi8ng market is hungry for it, however, it is very over extended, and it is for the careful leveraged trader to ensure we survive. I have been adding slowly with low leverage and it is good to be add further shorts to the existing positions at current levels. Just to add to the information, the RSI levels weekly to be 90..00% and higher even on Heikin Ashi suggests that the correction will be very severe.
Strategy SELL @ $ 3,475-3,515 and take profit in stages, i.e. first @ $ 3,367 and followed by $ 3,167 for now.

Gold target: $3500The structure of the bullish trend of gold remains unchanged, so don't guess the top. From 2600 points at the beginning of the year, gold has been rising all the way yesterday. Gold is now very volatile. In fact, it is easy to fluctuate by 20 to 30 US dollars. The current market is a new high every day. The bullish trend of gold is beyond doubt, but you still need to wait patiently. Recently, the trend of gold in the Asian session has been mainly rising. Gold will continue to be bought after it falls back.
Gold is currently maintaining a high-level oscillation and strong trend in the daily trend, and there is no sign of peaking yet. The 4-hour level trend has been repeating the sideways trend after the rise, and then the continued upward trend after a slight decline.
The current trend can no longer be viewed with conventional thinking, and the high point cannot be judged. It is completely driven by emotions. Do a good job of risk control in the short term to follow the operation. The technical side is not of much reference significance. As long as the tariff policy is not relaxed, it will be difficult for gold to fall and pull back!
Gold has hit a record high driven by the weakness of the US dollar and risk aversion. In the short term, the bullish momentum is still strong, but the overbought signal prompts that we need to be alert to the risk of pullback. The medium-term trend will depend on the evolution of trade negotiations and geopolitical situations. $3,500/ounce is still the target of market attention.
In the short term, it has risen three times during the day, so you can't chase more. If you want to go up more, you need to wait for the support level to retrace. You can pay attention to the MA10 and MA20 support on the hourly line to go long. Too much rise is not a reason to fall. You just need to pay more attention to risks as you go up, and keep buying in the short term. The next big target is the 3,500 mark.

The bull market is extremely strong! Keep the rhythm right!Analysis of gold trend:
On Tuesday (April 22) in the Asian session, spot gold continued to rise. Fundamentally, on Monday, as Trump's comments on Powell damaged investors' confidence in US assets, the US dollar index plummeted to its lowest level since March 2022. The United States plans to impose new tariffs on solar products imported from four Southeast Asian countries. Trump's approval rating has dropped to the lowest level since returning to the White House. The market's risk aversion has increased, and gold prices have strengthened significantly. At present, global trade tensions will continue, and concerns about economic growth and inflation expectations will continue to support gold prices.
After rising to around $3,430 at the beginning of the week, the price of gold retreated slightly to around $3,406. Before the close, it was more of a shock operation at the high of the day. Including the idea given before the break at the beginning of the week, the price of gold will continue to break new highs on Tuesday. But it was not expected that the price of gold would rise to around $3,500 during the Asian session, which was indeed a bit unexpected. At the end of the Asian session, the price of gold retreated, retreating to around $3,461. This retracement came relatively late, breaking the normal operation system. Today, it is recommended to refer to the suppression range near 3490 US dollars and 3500 US dollars for shorting. If it breaks above, refer to the daily error band indicator near 3510 US dollars for shorting. If it breaks below, refer to the support near 3455 US dollars and 3444 US dollars for longing. If it breaks below, look at the 3437-3390 US dollars range for high selling and low selling.
