Gold: supported by tariff paradoxTariffs is currently the only word that occupies investors' sentiment. Tariff- induced rhetoric of the US Administration and other world governments is strongly impacting market uncertainty, bringing high volatility to traditional markets. During this period, the price of gold significantly gained in value, strongly supported by tariffs-paradox.
During the previous week, the long term line connecting highs from April and October 2024 was clearly breached. The price of gold reached a fresh, all time highest level at $3.240, reached on Friday's trading session. The price of gold is currently moving in an uncharted territory. The RSI for one more time reached the clear overbought market side, ensign the week at the level of 71. There are no changes with MA 50 and MA200, as they continue to move as two parallel lines with an uptrend.
Gold had always been perceived as a safe-haven for funds, and as a historical holder of the value. This is one of the main reasons why the price of gold strongly gained during the previous period. It is currently driven by fundamentals, and there is a high probability that fundamentals will continue to support the price of gold in the future period. As it is currently moving in an uncharted territory, there is a challenge to predict any level to the upside in the coming period. However, in case of a modest reversal, the price of gold might revert back, until the levels around the $3.170.

XAUUSD - Preparing for Healthy Pullback?Gold has exhibited remarkable strength in recent days, surging from around $2,960 to establish new all-time highs above $3,230. After this vertical move and having reached overbought conditions, the 4-hour chart indicates a likely correction phase is imminent, with price projected to retrace toward the highlighted support zone around $3,160-3,170, which previously acted as resistance. This pullback represents a natural technical rebalancing after such an explosive upward movement and would provide an opportunity to test the market's conviction about the current bull trend. The highlighted lower support zone near $2,960 should contain any deeper corrections, though the immediate focus is on the upper support level as a probable target for this corrective wave before potentially resuming the larger uptrend. Traders should monitor price action around these key levels for signs of stabilization and renewed buying interest.

GOLD: What happened?Hello friends
The trend is very bullish and given the recent events in the world, the possibility of a decline is decreasing, so we can buy in pullbacks that the price is making in steps and with capital management and risk, price targets have also been specified.
*Trade safely with us*
Will gold fall today?Hello everyone. Let's discuss the trend of gold this week. From the current daily chart, gold is currently in a five-wave upward trend.
You can see that the low point of gold last week was near 2955, which is exactly the top position of the first wave of this wave.
The retracement from 3167 to 2955 is the retracement of the fourth wave, and the retracement did not break the top position of the first wave near 2950.
So, the current trend from near 2955 is running in the fifth wave of rise.
I also drew it in the picture, and it may eventually reach the high point near 3308-3328.
Today's highest point reached near 3275, and then it retreated sharply to near 3256.
Maybe you think this is a high and fall, but I don't think so from the trend.
Gold opened at 3230. If you look at the trend of 3230-3275, you can find that 3255 is exactly the 618 support position of this trend.
If the retracement does not break 618, then there will definitely be a new high.
Using 123 to find 4, we can see that if the high point of 3290 continues to break, the subsequent high point will be around 3300, followed by 3328.
And 3300 coincides with the daily high above.
Therefore, if gold can reach around 3300 next, we must be careful of the possibility of a high fall.
4/16 Gold Trading StrategiesYesterday, gold moved within a narrow range, as anticipated. After rising toward the 3230 level, it encountered selling pressure and pulled back, which provided us with some profitable short-term opportunities.
Currently, gold has broken above 3240 and continues to climb steadily. A conservative estimate suggests that a push toward 3250 is achievable without much resistance. However, this is a new high, and after a rapid ascent, it’s common to see profit-taking from long positions and short sellers entering the market from the sidelines. Therefore, chasing long positions at current levels carries increased risk and should be approached with caution.
Today’s Trading Recommendations:
Sell Zone: 3255 – 3270
A potential resistance zone where short positions may be considered.
Buy Zone: 3178 – 3158
Key support area for initiating long positions if the price corrects.
Range Trading Zones:
3240 – 3220
3188 – 3220
Suitable for flexible trading strategies based on real-time price action and candlestick signals.
Summary:
While gold remains in an uptrend, the market is approaching a sensitive area where both selling pressure and volatility may increase. Be cautious with chasing highs, and focus on technical levels for strategic entries and exits. The potential for a short-term reversal or pullback remains if resistance holds strong.

Gold on aggressive uptrend extension as expectedTechnical analysis: Gold seems to be recovering last week's Intra-day steep decline towards local Bottom in a rather semi-stable fashion with Hourly 4 chart already stepped in Bullish waters sessions ago. The main reason behind it was the strong decline on the DX (comfortably Trading below the #52-week Low's), which entered an Descending Channel and as I've mentioned these past few weeks on my remarks, has the strongest Short and Medium-term effect (positive) on Gold. Technically, there is only #1 session left before the symmetry of the Hourly 4 chart's cycle catches up as the sequence mimics the previous one. Subsequently, every decline since August #12 resulted as an Short-term relief rally which suddenly reversed in even more steeper decline (check August #22, August #29, September #1 and September #7). If fractal is yet to be repeated, I should expect Price-action to show stagnation and stall the uptrend, then kick-start aggressive takedown towards #3,200.80 benchmark configuration where I will be ready with my piercing Selling orders.
My position: I have announced that Gold is on undisputed Bullish trend and total Bullish domination as I've practically Bought every Bottom lately. My suggestion is to continue Buying the dips / every local Low's.
DON'T Make This MISTAKE in MULTIPLE TIME FRAME Analysis
Most of the traders apply multiple time frame analysis incorrectly . In the today's article, we will discuss how to properly use it and how to build the correct thinking process with that trading approach.
The problem is that many traders start their analysis with lower time frames first . They build the opinion and the directional bias analyzing hourly or even lower time frames and look for bullish / bearish signals there.
Once some solid setup is spotted, they start looking for confirmations , analyzing higher time frames. They are trying to find the clues that support their observations.
However, the pro traders do the opposite .
The fact is that higher is the time frame, more significant it is for the analysis. The key structures and the patterns that are spotted on an hourly time frame most of the time will be completely irrelevant on a daily time frame.
In the picture above, I underlined the key levels on USDJPY on an hourly time frame on the left.
On the right, I opened a daily time frame. You can see that on a higher time frame, the structures went completely lost.
BUT the structures that are identified on a daily, will be extremely important on any lower time frame.
In the example above, I have underlined key levels on a daily.
On an hourly time frame, we simply see in detail how important are these structures and how the market reacts to them.
The correct way to apply the top-down approach is to start with the higher time frame first: daily or weekly. Identify the market trend there, spot the important key levels. Make prediction on these time frames and let the analysis on lower time frames be your confirmation.

3270, waiting for new ATH gold price⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold prices eased during Monday's Asian session as risk sentiment improved, prompting a shift away from safe-haven assets. The upbeat market tone followed Wall Street’s strong rebound on Friday and encouraging developments in the ongoing US–China tariff dispute, temporarily reducing upward pressure on the yellow metal.
Last week, China retaliated against the US’s 145% tariff hike by imposing 125% duties on American goods but later signaled it would not respond to any additional escalations. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump floated the idea of targeting Chinese semiconductors and electronics with a separate 20% tariff—indicating a possible shift in strategy from across-the-board tariffs to more focused trade measures.

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 Closes the Week Strong – Breakout Toward $3300 Coming?📊 XAU/USD Daily Technical Outlook – April 11, 2025
Gold rebounded strongly during Friday’s session, climbing from early lows around $3,177 to reach a high of $3,237. This bounce followed a brief correction the day before, as buyers stepped back in near key psychological levels. The move was partially driven by ongoing geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for safe-haven assets.
At the moment, gold is trading around $3,212, holding its gains firmly into the weekly close. The broader market remains bullish, with the uptrend still intact unless key supports are breached.
📈 Current Market Structure:
After Thursday’s pullback, Friday’s strong bullish candle suggests renewed momentum. Price is still moving within an ascending structure, and the sharp recovery could be an early signal of a continuation toward new highs.
🔹 Key Resistance Levels:
$3,237: Immediate resistance. Friday’s high. A break above this level could trigger further bullish continuation.
$3,280: Potential upside target if momentum continues.
$3,300: Psychological resistance and potential long-term target.
🔸 Key Support Levels:
$3,177: Intraday support. If gold pulls back again, this level may provide a bounce.
$3,150: Near-term support and a key structural level.
$3,095: Deeper support, marking the bottom of the previous breakout area.
📐 Price Action Patterns:
Friday's bullish engulfing candle signals strong buying pressure, especially after Thursday’s correction. If buyers defend current levels early next week, we may see a bullish continuation. However, failure to break $3,237 may trigger another consolidation phase.
🧭 Potential Scenarios:
✅ Bullish Scenario:
If gold breaks and holds above $3,237, this could trigger a move toward $3,280 or even $3,300. Buyers remain in control as long as price stays above $3,177.
❌ Bearish Scenario:
If gold fails to push above resistance and breaks below $3,177, we could see a retest of $3,150, and possibly deeper toward $3,095 if bearish momentum increases.
📌 Conclusion:
Gold showed resilience on April 11, recovering sharply from a brief dip and closing the week on a strong note. The market structure remains bullish, and a sustained break above resistance could lead to fresh all-time highs. Traders should continue to monitor geopolitical news and dollar strength for clues on short-term direction.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Piptastic day on the markets today with our chart idea playing out, as analysed.
After failing to open the swing range yesterday, we stated that the retracement range will continue to provide support back into the Bullish Goldturn targets. The retracement range gave the bounce into 3015, 3034, 3055 just like we said.
The momentum was too strong to get the ema5 lock above 3055 to confirm 3078. However, the candle body close above 3055 gave the confirmation for the 3078 target, which was also hit completing this range
We will now look for a break above 3078 for a continuation above or a rejection here will see the lower Goldturns tested again for the bounces. The market is moving in bigger ranges so candle body close can also give earlier confirmations for the next Goldturn without ema5 lock.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.

Gold on another Fundamental uptrendAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: 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.
#3rd Higher High's extension is delivered ahead of #3,352.80 - #3,362.80 Ultimate Top's and new ATH's and now Gold is consolidating before revealing next major move. That was enough for me to close all my Buying orders and turn to Selling now and if there aren't new Tariff's news, Gold is ready to correct current gains and if #3,292.80 - #3,300.80 gives away, expect #3,252.80 benchmark next.
