GOLD/USD Short-Term Bullish Setup – Final Wave 5 ExpectedAs per the current 30-min chart, Gold appears to be completing its corrective structure and is now poised for a bullish reversal. Key observations:
🔹 Support Zone:
Gold has respected the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level (~3210), showing strong demand in this region. This marks the potential base of the upcoming 5th Elliott wave.
🔹 Trigger Level:
Price needs to break and sustain above 3240 to confirm bullish momentum. This is the neckline of the current consolidation and serves as the breakout zone.
🔹 Wave Projection:
We anticipate Gold to initiate Wave 5, the final impulsive move in the current sequence. A clear breakout above 3240 may trigger a rally towards 3300 / 3360 / 3420 in the short term.
🔹 Strategy:
Wait for a bullish candle close above 3240 to confirm breakout. Aggressive traders may initiate early positions near 3210 with tight stop-losses.
📌 Key Levels:
Support: 3210–3200 (78.6% Fib)
Breakout: 3240
Targets: 3300 / 3360 / 3420
🔻 Invalidation:
Break below 3200 would invalidate this bullish count and suggest deeper correction.
💬 Gold is gearing up for its final bullish thrust. Monitor 3240 zone for breakout confirmation. Keep risk managed!

XAU/USD buy to sell outlookThis week, I’ll be monitoring potential long entries from the nearby 3H demand zone, but my primary focus will be on price retracing into the 4H supply zone around 3,300, where I’ll be watching for a sell opportunity.
This zone aligns with the current bearish momentum we've seen recently, and I’ll wait for price to slow down and show signs of distribution once it reaches this area.Once we see that slowdown, I’ll aim to refine a clean order block for entry, ensuring a clear change of character and avoiding any potential smart money traps or false moves.
Confluences for Gold Sells:
- A clean 4H supply zone has formed, which caused a break of structure to the downside.
- There's significant liquidity resting below, making further downside likely.
- Gold has been heavily overbought and saturated, which supports this correctional bearish move.
- The DXY recently reacted bullish from a strong 2-day demand zone, adding confluence for downside in gold.
- After last week’s sharp decline, a retracement is expected before further downside continuation.
P.S.: There’s also liquidity to the upside in the form of uncollected Asia highs, so don’t be surprised if price sweeps those first before tapping into our supply zone.
Let’s stay patient and smart with entries — have a great weekend, everyone!
Next move (XAUUSD)As of May 2, 2025, gold (XAU/USD) has rebounded from a two-week low, trading around $3,256 per ounce, recovering approximately 0.5% from the previous session’s decline. This uptick follows a nearly 2% drop earlier in the week, marking the steepest weekly loss since late February . 
Key Factors Influencing Gold’s Next Move
1. Upcoming U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls Report
Investor attention is focused on the forthcoming U.S. non-farm payrolls report, expected to show a gain of 130,000 jobs in April, down from March’s 228,000. This data could influence the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook, affecting gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset . 
2. Central Bank Policies and Economic Indicators
Goldman Sachs forecasts that gold prices could surpass $3,700 and even reach $4,800 by mid-2026, driven by recession concerns and central bank policies . Additionally, a recent Reuters poll predicts that the average annual gold price will exceed $3,000 per troy ounce in 2025, marking the first time such a forecast has been made .  
3. Geopolitical Tensions and Market Volatility
Ongoing geopolitical uncertainties continue to bolster gold’s status as a safe-haven asset. Investor demand remains strong amid persistent global tensions, despite easing trade disputes between the U.S. and China .  
Technical Outlook
Technically, gold’s recent recovery suggests potential for further gains. Key resistance levels to watch include $3,300 and $3,400. Support is seen around $3,200, with a break below this level possibly leading to a pullback toward $3,100. 
Conclusion
Gold’s outlook remains positive, supported by strong investor demand, favorable economic indicators, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. While short-term fluctuations are possible, the medium to long-term trend appears bullish, with potential for gold to reach new record highs in the coming months. 
XAUUSD Bearish - SELLMarket Overview
Asset: Gold (XAU/USD)
Timeframe: 1H
Current Trend: Downtrend
Market Context:
Fundamental Drivers: Gold faces downward pressure due to a strengthening US Dollar, driven by the Fed’s hawkish outlook on April 28, 2025, with no anticipated rate cuts in Q2 2025. Rising US 10-year Treasury yields (near 4.6%) are reducing demand for non-yielding assets like Gold.
Recent Price Action: Gold rallied to the $2,450–$2,460 zone but was rejected, forming a lower high after failing to break above the 50-period EMA, consistent with a broader downtrend from the March 2025 high ($2,500).
Sentiment: Bearish sentiment prevails, with risk-on markets (e.g., S&P 500 gains) diminishing Gold’s safe-haven appeal.
[ TimeLine ] Gold 28-29 April 2025Hello everyone,
📅 Today is Friday, April 25, 2025
I will be using the High-Low price levels formed on the following dates as reference points for potential trade entries:
📌 April 28, 2025 (Monday)
📌 April 28 & 29, 2025 (Monday & Tuesday)
🧠 Trading Plan & Notes:
✅ Gold has broken its ATH multiple times over the past two weeks—volatility remains high
✅ Gold has significant reversal more than 2000pips from its ATH 3500 to 3260
⚠️ If the formed range is big, reversal entries or trades based on Fibonacci levels may be more appropriate
✅ I will personally trade both signals as part of my ongoing research and strategy
⚠️ If you're unsure or risk-averse, consider skipping April 28 & 29 signal
📋 Execution Plan:
🔹 Wait for the price range from the candles above to fully form (marked with green lines)
🔹 Entry will be triggered upon breakout, with a 60-pip buffer
🔹 If the trade hits Stop Loss (SL), switch direction and double the position size on the next valid entry for potential recovery

GOLD - WAVE 4 CORRECTION TO $2,800 (UPDATE)We've seen a nice melt off on Gold this week. We're seeing a little push higher today as its the end of the week. But don't forget Gold is still in a downside correction in the mid term. SELL THE PUMPS.
Still looking for some form of 'Simple 3 Sub-Wave (A,B,C)' or 'Complex 5 Sub-Wave (A,B,C,D,E)' correction towards our longer term buying target at $2,800📈
Gold price weakens, correction 3176⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold’s intraday decline appears partly driven by technical selling pressure after decisively breaking below the key $3,265–$3,260 support zone. However, the US Dollar (USD) struggles to sustain any significant recovery as expectations grow for more aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts—fueled by an unexpected contraction in US GDP and signs of softening inflation. These factors may continue to support demand for the non-yielding precious metal, suggesting that traders should remain cautious before anticipating a deeper pullback from the recent all-time high near $3,500.

GOLD trades around $3,300, market lacks major impactOANDA:XAUUSD sare trading lower around the $3,300/oz flatline as easing US-China trade tensions dampen the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset, while investors await US economic data to gauge the Federal Reserve's policy direction.
OANDA:XAUUSD have been trading in a narrow range recently as the market awaits details of the first trade deal, which is expected to be announced this week or next.
OANDA:XAUUSD has reversed to a downside correction since last week as Trump made some very positive comments and the risk of stagflation was further ruled out, and gold prices continued to fall. Stagflation has pushed gold higher and as the market starts to price in this risk, a correction is natural, especially considering that “buying gold” has become the top trade and it is technically in overbought territory.
Looking at the larger picture, gold prices remain in an uptrend as real yields are likely to continue to fall amid the Fed’s easing. But in the short term, more positive news on tariffs could see gold prices continue to fall as the market adjusts to the new conditions.
OANDA:XAUUSD , traditionally seen as a hedge against political and financial uncertainty, hit a record high of $3,500.05 last week amid heightened uncertainty.
Investors will be watching economic data for the rest of the week, including Wednesday's personal consumption expenditure report and Friday's non-farm payrolls report.
Technical Outlook OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold continues to move sideways as the accumulation state takes place as the market has no fundamental impact of any sudden change. With the current position, gold is not qualified to increase or decrease significantly with the sideway area of attention in the range of 3,371 - 3,292 USD being the positions of the Fibonacci retracement of 0.236% and 0.382%.
However, overall, gold is still inclined to increase in the long term with the price channel as the main trend and support from EMA21 as the main support. As long as gold remains above/within the price channel, above EMA21, it still has the technical conditions for the main trend to be up, the declines should only be considered as short-term corrections and not an official trend.
During the day, the sideways accumulation state with the main uptrend will be noticed again by the following positions.
Support: 3,292 – 3,267 USD
Resistance: 3,371 USD

Potential HSNot confirmed yet but I'm jumping in anyways. I bought some puts of GLD for May 23 strike 304. My SL triggers if the price breaks up the resistance shown and closes above in the daily timeframe. Might be some turbulence, bulls will try to push the price higher. too much noise in the political arena, but Gold is overbought and needs a healthy correction.
Gold INTRADAY corrective pullback supported at 3218Gold slipped to the $3,200 area as optimism grew over possible US-China tariff talks, which boosted risk sentiment and pushed the US Dollar to a 3-week high. However, gold’s downside may be limited as traders grow cautious ahead of Friday’s US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report.
Despite USD strength, growing expectations of Fed rate cuts—possibly four by year-end—are supportive for gold in the medium term. This follows weak US economic data:
GDP contracted for the first time since 2022
PCE inflation is easing
Jobless claims hit a 2-month high
ADP jobs report showed cooling private-sector hiring
ISM Manufacturing PMI remained in contraction
Key NFP Expectations (Friday):
+130K jobs (down from 228K prior)
Unemployment Rate: steady at 4.2%
Wage Growth: +0.3%
Conclusion for Gold Traders:
Short-term pressure on gold from stronger USD and trade optimism, but soft US data and rising rate cut bets may provide support. Watch NFP closely — a weak report could trigger a bullish move in gold.
