Gold in a Range — Caution for BuyersHey traders and investors!
On the daily timeframe, gold remains in a sideways range (marked by black lines).
The seller's initiative is still active and hasn't reached its target yet.
A seller zone has formed — highlighted by a red rectangle on the chart.
It’s better to look for buy setups around 3260 and 3201-3167.

With the Federal Reserve on hold, gold is ushering in a new engi
At 2 pm yesterday, the Federal Reserve announced that it would keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25%-4.50%, in line with market expectations, and remained unchanged for the third consecutive meeting. After the announcement of the Fed's interest rate decision, the market continued to believe that the Fed would cut interest rates before July, and still expected three rate cuts this year.
Then Fed Chairman Powell downplayed any impression that the central bank would use interest rate cuts to ease the economic weakness caused by Trump's tariff policy at a press conference in the early morning.
Powell used the word "wait" 22 times to emphasize that the Fed is not in a hurry. He said: "We think the cost of waiting is quite low, so we are doing it."
Powell said: "In this case, we can't take the initiative because we don't actually know what the correct response to the data is until we see more data."
Powell hinted that the Fed will only cut interest rates after seeing evidence of a significant slowdown in the economy, and it may cut interest rates soon.
Returning to the market, first of all, from the gold daily chart, it can be seen that the current trend of gold is basically similar to that of the first half of the month.
There was a sharp retracement last week, and then the bottom daily line closed with a cross star, followed by a sharp rebound.
The current market is basically copying the previous market. If nothing unexpected happens, if it goes up in this trend, 3500 is very likely not the high point, and it is only a matter of time before a new high is reached.
In addition, from the 4-hour chart, yesterday, the bottom 3360 was tested many times, but it failed to break down. Today, the opening was stretched from 3360 to above 3400.
3360 is a intensive trading area suppression position in the early stage. After breaking through 3360 on Tuesday, it has not fallen below this position so far.
So, we can currently regard 3360 as an important support position.
So we can regard 3360 as the 618 support position, so as to infer the high point position.
As you can see in the picture, I have also marked the point, which is about 3450-60.
Finally, let's look at the hourly chart. You can see that from 3360 to the morning high of 3415, the Fibonacci position 50% position and 382 position are about 3390-85.
It is also about the lowest position of the callback.
In terms of future operations, you can basically rely on 3390-85 to enter the market and do more.
The upper target can basically see the 3440-60 range.
Gold may break out of the range and rise to 3450GOLD is rising and testing the resistance of the trading range. The important prerequisite is no drop after false breakout. Accordingly, buyers are building up and a close above 3367 may give a chance for a rise
The fundamental situation is changing, Trump is imposing new duties. In addition, gold is reacting to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. The metal continues to be a magnet for money
Scenario: A break of range resistance and consolidation above 3367 activates buying. The target of 3407 is 3444
GOD BUY GREAT TUESDAY

Dear Traders like comment let me know what do you think
Gold is expected to fall below 3300, continue to short gold!Fundamentals:
1. Pay attention to whether the geopolitical conflicts escalate, including the situation between India and Pakistan, Russia and Ukraine, and the situation between the United States and Iran, etc.
Technical aspects:
Although the gold price gradually rebounded after hitting 3320 points, the current rebound momentum is relatively weak. The gold price has turned from strong to weak, and the short-term "M"-shaped top structure formed by 3435 points and 3414 points above has suppressed the upward space of the gold price. Therefore, we still focus on shorting gold after the rebound. First, we focus on the resistance area of 3355-3365 points above. If the gold price rebound fails to successfully break through this area, the gold price will fall again and is expected to continue to fall to around 3280 points.
Trading strategy:
Consider shorting gold after gold rebounds to the 3355-3365 area, target price: 3340
Gold rebounds despite trade optimism - levels to watchBased on the fact that equity markets have surged higher amid trade optimism, one would have expected gold to head lower. Well, it did fall in the last couple of days but it was trading near the session highs at the time of writing, up more than 1.1% on the session. The US dollar had weakened after staging a rally the day before, while the situation between India and Pakistan also probably played a role. But one has to wonder whether a rug pull is on the way soon. Keep an eye on potential resistance around 3345-50 area...support comes in at 3320 - if we break this level then a revisit of the overnight lows could be on the cards.

Real-time analysis of the XAUUSD market.The current volatile trend is to give room for adjustment for the interest rate decision and the Fed's speech later.
If the interest rate is expected to remain unchanged or increase, it will boost the US dollar index. This will suppress the xauusd market. It will be bearish and fall. If the interest rate is cut, it will boost XAUUSD. But I think the market will not raise interest rates at this stage. The probability of a rate cut is also very low. So maintaining the same interest rate is the first choice.
In terms of trading, traders with large amounts of capital can sell at 3385 at the current price, while traders with small amounts of capital can wait until the market returns above 3400 before selling.

Lingrid | GOLD structure BREAKOUT. Potential BULLISH RallyThe price perfectly fulfilled my previous idea . OANDA:XAUUSD has broken out of a descending triangle and bearish channel, signaling a short-term reversal. After printing a Lower Low near the support area, price surged past the downward trendline and is now forming a consolidation above it. This suggests bullish strength, but a retest of the breakout level may occur before a continuation.
📌 Key Levels
Support Zone: 3,219 – 3,321
Breakout Target: 3,435
Invalidation Level: Below 3,219 (re-entry into previous bearish structure)
⚠️ Risks
Rejection near 3,435 or failure to hold above the trendline could trigger a correction.
Bearish divergence or strong resistance at 3,487 may cap upside.
Upcoming economic news (e.g., NFP, CPI) could lead to volatility.
Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩💻
Special attention needs to be paid to gold operations on FridayThe current price fluctuates around the 3300-3348 range, with resistance at 3348-3352 and support at 3295-3303. If it breaks through 3348, be wary of a second surge to around 3365; conversely, if it loses 3295, it may fall back to the 3275-55 area.
Gold recommendation: short sell near 3335-3345 when it rebounds. Target position 3320-3310.
Bullish Gold: Ride the Wave with Pullback BuysOn the daily gold chart, there was a sharp upward surge on Monday, and the price rebounded above the $3300 mark. Normally, the upward movement on the daily chart could potentially drive the price towards the high point near the upper Bollinger Band at around $3500. This also means that the monthly chart recovers the upper shadow and forms a second upward thrust. So, there is ample upside potential. We should focus on the sustainability of this upward momentum.
On the 4 - hour chart, another wave of strength is needed. A significant rally is required to widen the upper Bollinger Band and establish an absolute one - sided bullish trend. Therefore, although the bullish outlook is clear for now, there is still a possibility of some adjustments. Currently, the support below is around the $3340 - $3350 range, with the dividing line being near the early - morning low of $3330. If there is an opportunity for the price to pull back to the support area, one can go long and bet on the upward trend. Today, keep an eye on the resistance levels at $3385 - $3395 - $3400.

Gold will form a double top next week and then fall toward 2600.Gold will form a double top next week and then fall toward 2600.Of course, everything is hypothetical. If the correction trades time for space, it may not fall as much. It could consolidate sideways for a long time. In short, I think the uptrend has paused for now. If a double top forms next week, it’s a good opportunity. Let’s wait and see.
Is GOLD still rising star? XAUUSD AnalysisHello everyone!
i Want share my idea about gold price action.
End of April we had some correction but beginning of May it still has buyer and why? at global market we see still misunderstanding, America and China still talk about rates, final talk will be soon between that to giant country, Russia-Ukraine war plus we have very hard situation between India and Pakistan, everyone was expecting peace, after trump inauguration, but how we see we are still far, no one knows what will be next and for big investors gold is safest place to invest money. If we look at gold for long term we can see it has pretty strong bull run.
For me i have other view - China and America will deal about rates, which will give market better view, i think before it will happen, Gold will test new High, where it will find sellers and from there we will have 2 quarter Bearish trend. New high will be between 3500 - 3550, also if we look at Dollar index (DXY) at 1D chart it found buyers and slowly showing reversal, but don't forget 1W chart because there we had 1W consolidation from 2023 and the last fall was stronger than other falls, at technical it tested weekly Fair Value Gap, but i cant see any reason yet for fall.
I think Gold will show us new high which will be between 3500 - 3550 and then we will get bearish trend and we will see correlation with dollar and dollar will start bullish trend.
With technical i will use simple technic, gold tested today daily fair value gap and it got strong reaction, we have resistance + 2h FVG but for me it will be not hard for gold to brake it.
This analysis is from my experience, i am not financial advisor.

Gold delivering excellent Trading opportunitiesTechnical analysis: Gold is consolidating on Hourly 4 chart after it entered my expected #3,342.80 - #3,322.80 Neutral Rectangle zone with #3,342.80 as an possible stop and local High’s. Upper maximum extension can reach #3,352.80 benchmark / Hourly 4 chart’s extension if Resistance breaks. Both ways, I doubt that Neutral candles will last for long as Gold will be ready for another Buying or Selling sequence, where another slide might be in the aftertime. It is important to note that DX found the Support and engaged the spiral recovery (# +0.81%) which can add Selling pressure on Gold. I will use this configuration and observing market closing (closing below #3,312.80 confirms the downtrend extension), where Gold is Technically ready for #3,300.80 - #3,252.80 benchmark test. DX however remains merely Neutral on bigger charts however near Lower High’s peak, adding Volatility on Gold counterbalancing mixed values on Yields. This gives me the impression that Gold has at the moment more probabilities to a Short-term uptrend than break below the Support zone. Gold continues to be contained within parabolic uptrend however isolated within Neutral range for the last #1 - #2 consecutive sessions. Daily chart is on (# +0.58%) switch and represents an cautious fractal. Keep in mind that the Medium-term pattern on Daily chart is an Ascending Channel and Gold is on its Higher High’s decimal zone with Lower levels being a potential Lower High’s Target. Total Neutrality and balance between the Support and Resistance lines is consolidation phase of next major move ahead.
My position: I have expected #3,300.80 benchmark touch throughout yesterday's session where I engaged Selling order on #3,345.80 (entry point). Due news outcome, #3,352.80 was tested which triggered my Stop-loss and left me without any orders. Later on, Gold dipped towards #3,300.80 benchmark (what I did expect) as I managed to re-Sell Gold on #3,322.80 and close the order on #3,307.80. I am without any orders as Gold is Trading within Neutral Rectangle. I will Trade the break-out of values I explained above.
Gold (XAU/USD) Analysis – 1H🏛 1. Current Market Structure
📈 After a strong upward impulse, gold has now pulled back into a Bull OTE zone, aligned with a key trendline acting as a dynamic support.
📐 This setup could indicate a potential bullish rebound, especially if the market views this pullback as a healthy retracement before a larger continuation.
🌍 2. Bigger Picture Outlook
🔍 The recent rejection at the Bear OTE highlights the presence of strong supply at higher levels.
⚠️ However, the current bounce from the Bull OTE could either be the start of a larger bullish leg targeting the Bear OTE again – or just a technical bounce before a deeper correction, especially if the FED hints at rate cuts in June or July.
🔍 3. Key Technical Observations
🟦 Bear OTE: Clear rejection, confirming this as a key resistance for now.
🟦 Bull OTE: Providing initial support, coupled with a trendline bounce, adding confluence for a potential move up.
📐 Trendline Support: Critical for maintaining the current bullish structure, a break here could signal a deeper retracement.
🎯 4. Short-Term Expectations
📉 Bearish Scenario:
Rejection from the Bull OTE
Break below the trendline
Deeper pullback towards the Supply Zone or even the 50% retracement level
📈 Bullish Scenario:
Clean break above the Bull OTE
Retest of the Bear OTE (~$3,500)
Possible breakout if volume supports the move
🔥 5. Upcoming Catalysts
🕰 FED rate decision in June/July – potential rate cuts could shift sentiment.
💰 Inflation and economic data: Key drivers for gold’s short-term direction.
🔎 Volume and order flow: Crucial to confirm any true breakout.
✅ Conclusion
👉 Gold is at a critical junction, testing a Bull OTE with a supporting trendline – a key moment for determining the next major leg.
📍 Key levels to watch:
Bear OTE (~$3,500)
Bull OTE (~$3,300 - $3,320)
Trendline support – a break here could invalidate the bullish thesis
⏳ As always, stay alert for fakeouts and liquidity grabs around these levels.
Gold (XAU/USD) Analysis – 1H
🏛 1. Current Market Structure
📉 Gold just made a sharp drop into the OTE zone, breaking through the Supply Zone without much resistance.
🔎 This move suggests a liquidity sweep, possibly targeting deeper levels before any significant recovery.
🌍 2. Bigger Picture Outlook
⚠️ With the 4H FVG now acting as a strong resistance, the market is testing the OTE zone for potential support.
💰 If this zone fails to hold, we could see a deeper correction towards the next major demand area around $3,300.
🔍 3. Key Technical Observations
🟩 4H FVG: Now acting as a supply block, capping recent bullish attempts.
🟦 OTE Zone: Major liquidity area, potential bounce point if buyers step in.
⬜️ Supply Zone: Clearly lost its strength, now likely to act as resistance on any retest.
🎯 4. Short-Term Expectations
📉 Bearish Scenario:
Continuation through the OTE
Deeper liquidity grab toward $3,300
Potential stop hunt before a bullish reversal
📈 Bullish Scenario:
Strong bounce from the OTE
Reclaim of the Supply Zone
Potential push back toward $3,400+ if volume supports it
🔥 5. Upcoming Catalysts
🕰 US Economic Data: Short-term volatility expected.
📊 Volume Confirmation: Critical for validating a bullish recovery.
🔎 Order Flow: Watch for fakeouts and liquidity traps around the OTE.
✅ Conclusion
👉 Gold just tapped a key OTE zone – a make-or-break level for the current structure.
📍 Key levels to watch:
4H FVG (~$3,380 - $3,400)
OTE Zone (~$3,320 - $3,330)
Deeper liquidity areas if the sell-off intensifies
⏳ Stay alert, as the market is likely to remain volatile in the short term.

Scalping Trade – Technical Analysis on Gold (1-Minute Timeframe)
In this brief analysis, we examine a scalping opportunity on Gold (XAU/USD) using the 1-minute chart, focusing on a short-term technical setup supported by both price action and indicators.
The chart displays a well-defined downward trend, confirmed by two descending red trendlines. These trendlines have been respected consistently by the price, indicating a strong bearish structure. At the time of analysis, the price action approached a key resistance zone around the 3,319 level.
This resistance is notable for two reasons: it represents a horizontal level tested multiple times, and it coincides with a descending trendline, forming a confluence that increases the probability of a price rejection. This dual-resistance scenario presents a compelling case for a short entry.
A sell position was initiated near this resistance area. The stop loss is placed above the resistance zone, near 3,325, to protect against a breakout. The take profit is set around 3,301, targeting a recent support level established by a strong previous low. This provides a clean technical target within the current structure.
Supporting this trade idea, both the MACD and Stochastic Oscillator are showing overbought signals and have begun turning downward, suggesting weakening bullish momentum and the potential for a bearish reversal.
The trade offers a risk-to-reward ratio of approximately 1:1.97, which is considered favorable in scalping strategies, where precision and timing are critical.
Gold Breakout and Potential RetraceHey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring XAUUSD for a buying opportunity around 3300 zone, Gold was trading in a downtrend and successfully managed to break it out. Currently is in a correction phase in which it is approaching the retrace area at 3300 support and resistance area.
Trade safe, Joe.
