XAUUSD: 15/4 Today’s Market Analysis and StrategyGold technical analysis
Daily chart resistance 3300, support below 3176
Four-hour chart resistance 3250, support below 3190-3150
One-hour chart resistance 3250, support below 3210
Gold news analysis: Gold prices remained above 3200 on Monday, indicating that the overall market sentiment is still cautiously optimistic. The main factors driving this round of market conditions include uncertainty in the global trade environment, a weaker dollar, and continued warming of safe-haven demand. During the session, investors' reactions to the latest tariff remarks intensified gold price fluctuations, but fundamental and technical support remained solid, and the strong pattern of gold did not show any significant shakes. The trend of the US dollar played an important role in this round of gold price fluctuations. The US dollar index hit a three-year low, making gold denominated in US dollars more attractive to overseas buyers. Behind the weakness of the US dollar, there are both market concerns about the outlook for the US economy and the drive of diversified reserve needs of global central banks. Analysts from well-known institutions said that the weakening of the US dollar and global economic uncertainty constituted a solid support for gold prices. In addition, the global central bank's demand for gold purchases remains strong. Since the beginning of this year, many central banks have continued to increase their gold reserves to cope with potential currency fluctuations and geopolitical risks.
Gold operation suggestions: Gold opened lower yesterday and touched 3209 and then began to rise. It reached the historical high of 3245 again and then began to adjust and adjust. It retreated slightly in the European session and continued to accelerate in the US session. It bottomed out and began to rise after reaching 3193.
From the current trend analysis, today's upper short-term resistance focuses on the 3250 mark, and the lower support focuses on the one-hour level 3210 and the four-hour level 3190 support. In terms of operation, continue to buy in line with the trend when stepping back to this position. At the same time, gold is currently in a severely overbought state and beware of a sharp correction.

#XAUUSD UP TREND Thanks for sharing the updated chart.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s going on now:
### **Current Context (Gold Spot/USD - 1H)**:
- **Price**: $3,327.38 (down 0.47%).
- **Trend Channel**: Still in play, though the price briefly broke below the lower boundary and quickly re-entered — a potential **fakeout**.
- **Corrective Structure**: The “(W)-(X)” label suggests an **Elliott Wave corrective pattern** (likely a W-X-Y correction). The price may still be in the “X” leg moving upward before completing “Y.”
- **Key Levels**:
- **Support**: Around $3,302 (same as the previous chart’s stop-loss).
- **Resistance/Target**: $3,380 — matching the top of the previous breakout attempt.
### **Trade Setup**:
- A long position is being considered with a bounce off the lower trendline.
- Entry around $3,327–$3,331 with target near $3,380.
- Stop-loss again around $3,303 — maintaining tight risk management.
### **Interpretation**:
- The market may have completed a short-term correction and is possibly forming a higher low (if “W” holds).
- A break above point “X” would confirm bullish continuation to $3,380 or higher.
- If price breaks below “W” ($3,302), the bullish structure might fail, and deeper retracement becomes likely.

After gold hit a new high, it declined in the eveningToday, gold prices hit a new all - time high, reaching 3,357 in the short term. After a second test at 3,356, the market was mainly characterized by volatile pullbacks throughout the day. However, the overall trend remained strong, and the short - term volatility and adjustment might be for the purpose of building up momentum for further increases.👉👉👉
Recently, gold has set records again and again, and its huge fluctuations have tugged at the hearts of every investor. The market will be closed tomorrow. I hope everyone can really unwind, keep a good attitude, and have a pleasant holiday.🌞🌞🌞

Gold short-term analysisGold fell back to 3229 yesterday and stopped climbing. After breaking the integer mark of 3300 in the European session, the US session accelerated its rise. The daily line reached 3343 at its highest. The daily line finally closed at 3342 with a basically saturated big positive line. The current market trend is strong. The upward trend continued on Wednesday without a correction. The intraday increase reached 110 points again, which is exactly the same as the trend of last Wednesday. The hourly line basically maintains an upward trend. It can only be said that if the strong market retreats more than 20 points, it will inevitably continue its increase. Before there is no particularly obvious sign of a sharp decline, going long has become the only choice, and it is also the best and safest choice. The current support is the top and bottom conversion around 3320-3305. If these positions are not broken, you can go long.
Overall, today's short-term operation strategy is mainly to go long on pullbacks, supplemented by shorting on rebounds. The short-term focus on the upper side is 3370-3380 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 3330-3320 support.
Operation strategy: Range buy: 3320--3325 SL:3310
TP: 3335---3340
Gold follows the trend. Buy after a pullbackGold opened sharply higher in the Asian session and hit a new record high. It broke through the 3230 mark in the late trading and stabilized. The price continued to rise in the trend and broke through the adjustment range of yesterday. There was no technical trend during the day. The large-volume rise occurred in the Asian session, and the price continued to hit a new record high. As investors turned to safe-haven assets amid the uncertainty brought by the continued tariff plan of US President Trump, additional tariffs could exacerbate the ongoing trade war and slow global economic growth.
As global stock markets bottomed, the pressure on gold finally eased, and the precious metal eventually rose sharply to a record high. This rise was very fierce because everyone rushed into the gold market, hoping to use it as a safe haven against the stagflation caused by the trade war. From a more macro perspective, gold is still in an upward trend because currency yields may continue to fall because the threshold for rate hikes remains very high.
Potential risks include another sharp sell-off in the stock market or a hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve. In the short term, given that gold's long positions are too concentrated, if the trade war eases, gold prices are likely to experience a deeper correction, so it is necessary to pay close attention to developments in this regard. The current environment still supports the rise of gold, but the road to gold price rise will not be smooth, and there may be a temporary correction in the middle.
Gold Asian session safe-haven directly broke through the new high, and the short-term adjustment of gold ended. Finally, the adjustment was completed in a volatile manner. This kind of strong bullish market with a breakthrough will basically not have a big decline. Since gold has chosen to break upward, it will follow the trend. Any decline in gold is an opportunity to buy.
The 1-hour moving average of gold began to turn upward. If the 1-hour moving average of gold continues to diverge upward, then the gold bulls will continue to exert their strength. After gold breaks through 3245, then gold 3245 has formed support in the short term. Buy on dips when gold falls back to 3245. After gold surges in the Asian session, you must wait patiently for the opportunity to pull back. If it falls back to around 3245, you can continue to buy.
Key points:
First support: 3253, second support: 3240, third support: 3225
First resistance: 3280, second resistance: 3300, third resistance: 3315
Operation ideas:
Buy: 3245-3248, SL: 3236, TP: 3280-3290;
Sell: 3293-3295, SL: 3304, TP: 3250-3240;
The recent investment risk is extremely high, and the real-time trend can change at any time. Please be cautious about trading signals.
The early bird gets the worm.The 1-hour moving average of gold has begun to turn upward. If the 1-hour moving average of gold continues to diverge upward, then the gold bulls will continue to exert their strength. After gold breaks through 3245, then 3245 has formed a short-term support for gold. After gold rises, we must wait patiently for adjustments and continue to go long.
Trading ideas: Buy gold near 3250, stop loss 3240, target 3280
Gold Intraday Trading Plan 4/15/2025Gold is dropping as expected from 3245 to 3195 and closed the day around 3210. Although gold is in undisputed bullish trend. I still expect the correction to continue at least to 3180. If 3180 is broken, further decline will cause gold to drop to 3140. However, if 3180 holds, gold may resume its bullish momentum.
Let's see how the market plays out today.
Managed Money Selling Gold into Strength to Take ProfitsGold has entered a consolidation phase after surging from 2970 to 3245 last week. Ongoing headlines about tariffs continue to fuel global demand, with strong interest seen in China and U.S. However, there are early signs that gold prices may be approaching a short-term supply-demand equilibrium.
COMEX inventory data recently showed that, for the first time in this rally (since December), physical demand has not increased over the past few days. While demand remains strong overall, this could be an early signal of slowing momentum.
The latest COT report indicates that total net managed money positions have been slowly declining since early February, with the pace of reduction picking up recently. This suggests that smart money is locking in some profits while the market remains strong. Still, net positioning remains elevated.
In the short term, this might not trigger a major reversal, but gold bulls should stay cautious and consider tightening stop-loss levels to manage risk.
A possible flag pattern appears to be forming, though the structure is not yet fully developed. The key resistance to watch is 3245. Unless this level is broken, gold could be forming a horizontal or slightly bearish flag beneath it.
Short-term support levels to monitor are 3200, 3175, and 3130 for now. These will be updated as the price action evolves.
Learning Not to TradeThe ability to wait for your setup is the most important skill a trader can have.
Strangely enough, in trading, you absolutely must learn not to trade. Patience is key. We’re like predators lying in ambush: no sudden moves, no panic, just waiting for the right moment.
No setup — no trade.
Sometimes it's a day or two without trades, sometimes a week or even more.
Hard? Very. It feels like you have to participate in every move, squeeze the maximum out of every market, trade daily, nonstop — hands itching, mind racing, gotta make money. Some traders even set financial goals — I’m totally against that. You’ve got a "monthly target"? Great — now you're forced to find trades where there are none.
But there’s an awesome fix for that: create trading-related activities for yourself during downtimes:
1. Analyze your past trades.
In detail: average gain, average loss, win rate, risk/reward ratio, and more. Where are your strengths? Which markets and instruments work best for you? Where do you tend to screw up — late stops, premature exits, re-entries? How can you minimize losses?
2. Study price action after you close a trade.
Maybe you’re exiting too early and missing the rest of the move. Tons of traders scalp and make money, sure — but if they didn’t scalp, they could’ve made twice as much. Data from successful traders shows a clear edge in holding positions for at least a few days. Also — let’s not forget commissions: fewer trades means lower costs.
3. Test new setups.
Use TradingView's replay function to go back in time and trade historical data as if it were live. It’ll sharpen your eye for candle and chart patterns, help validate new strategies, and overall — it’s just super useful.
4. Read books.
All good traders read — a lot, constantly, forever. Sit down with a highlighter, mark up important ideas, and better yet — take notes. Learning never stops.
And now — plot twist: this is your actual job.
Not sitting and hypnotizing charts all day. Not entering a trade and staring at every pip like a madman — one second you're thrilled, the next you’re sweating bullets.
Yes, we look at charts and order books — all useful tools — but we analyze smartly, not emotionally.
Trading is everything that happens before the trade.
Waiting for your moment. Knowing exactly where your stop loss and take profit should be.
I was analyzing my trading and realized that my main recurring mistakes right now is exiting too early , then re-entering with a tight stop, getting stopped out, and then entering again.
Overtrading.
And the worst part — this isn’t the first time. But I know how to fix it!
In my next educational post, I’ll write about the most common trading mistakes and how I personally worked through them.
Because honestly — I’ve made every mistake you can possibly make, even the ones you’re not supposed to be able to make. I’ve been in all kinds of psychological states, and I’ve tried a ton of different ways to deal with each issue.
See you in the next one.
