GOLDCFD trade ideas
short sell on goldGold (XAUUSD) is approaching the 78% premium zone after sweeping internal liquidity, suggesting a potential reversal. This setup anticipates a smart money distribution move, with a sell entry around 3,335–3,340, stop loss above 3,348, and targets at 3,310 (TP1) and 3,290 (TP2). The expectation is that after grabbing liquidity, price will reject from premium and drop toward the equal lows where sell-side liquidity rests.
The idea remains unchanged, NY3360-3365 is emptyThe idea remains unchanged during the NY period. Although gold has currently reached a high of around 3348, it has not stabilized above it. If gold successfully breaks through 3350 in the short term, it may reach 3360 or 3365. In the 4H cycle, it presents a step-by-step upward pattern. The K-line is temporarily fluctuating sideways near the upper track. At the same time, 3345 has formed a double top pattern. Combined with Thursday's low of 3310, an inverted triangle oscillation range of 3345-3310 is formed in the short term. This week's trend needs to pay close attention to the breakthrough direction of this range. Short-term long positions can be taken after the trend is confirmed.

Gold continues to test resistance levels for a breakoutThe global trend is bullish, with gold undergoing a local correction. The price is attempting to avoid the liquidation zones located below.
The fourth retest of the trend resistance over the past two weeks is forming.
Regarding the current situation, gold is consolidating near the resistance level of 3329, a break of which could trigger growth.
Buyers are interested in gold due to the current geopolitical circumstances...
Scenario : If the bullish pattern remains intact and gold stays within the 3329-3315 range and continues to move towards resistance, another retest of 3329-3330 could lead to a breakout and growth.

Gold falls back to 18-24 and goes longFrom the 4-hour analysis, pay attention to the short-term support of 3318-3324 below, pay attention to the short-term resistance of 3345-50 above, and focus on the suppression of 3365-70. The overall high-altitude low-multiple cycle participation theme remains unchanged. In the middle position, watch more and do less, and follow orders cautiously, and keep the main theme of participation in the trend. Be patient and wait for key points to participate. I will prompt the specific operation strategy in the link, please pay attention in time.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Go long at 3318-3324, stop loss at 3312, target at 3345-50, and continue to hold if it breaks;
2. Go short at 3345-50 when gold rebounds, stop loss at 3357, target at 3318-24, and continue to hold if it breaks;
Gold fluctuates. Beware of highs.On Monday, the U.S. dollar index rose sharply, reaching an intraday high of 97.65 as Trump announced that he would impose new tariffs on a series of countries including Japan and South Korea on August 1.
Spot gold fell first and then rose. It once fell below the $3,300 mark during the session, but then rebounded strongly in a V-shaped manner by nearly $40. As of now, it has stabilized above 3,330.
From the current daily line:
3,320 is the absolute support position for gold at present. Although it fell below 3,320 yesterday, Monday, it then reversed and stabilized above 3,320. For now, the daily line still cannot close below 3,320. If it closes below 3,320, the decline may open further. On the contrary, the current upper suppression position of gold is around 3,350. That is to say, it is basically maintained at 3,320-50 for rectification.
If the daily line stabilizes at 3350 again, the bulls may rise again.
From the 4-hour chart, gold currently shows signs of a head and shoulders bottom. If the 4-hour chart stabilizes above 3340 again, the suppression level of 3350 may be directly broken. Next, it may directly touch the high level of 3380-90. Therefore, in terms of operation, I suggest that you can maintain long positions at 3320-30.
The first target is 3340-50. As long as the 4-hour chart stabilizes above 3340, you can continue to look at 3380-90.

GOLD SELL SETUPAfter a strong bullish move, price approached a key resistance zone near the 3325–3330 level, which coincides with a potential supply zone created by previous price rejection. The market structure showed signs of slowing momentum, with multiple wicks to the upside and smaller-bodied candles near resistance, indicating possible exhaustion of buying pressure.
The market doesn’t lie, price hit the zone just as we mapped it🔸 WEEKLY BIAS
The broader trend remains bullish to neutral, though momentum is softening within a premium rejection zone.
In May–June, price broke structure to the upside, printing a new weekly higher high (HH) above 3380. However, it failed to sustain above the volume imbalance (3430–3480), signaling exhaustion in that premium range.
Currently, price is rejecting premium and consolidating just below 3327 — a key level marking previous institutional support and the midpoint of the weekly Fair Value Gap (FVG).
🔹 Weekly Key Zones
🟢 Support Zone (Buy Interest): 3204–3230
Weekly FVG + Equilibrium retrace + EMA50
A bullish rejection from this zone could trigger continuation toward 3327, then 3380
🔴 Resistance / Supply Zone (Sell Interest): 3420–3480
Weekly FVG + Premium Order Block + Prior liquidity sweep zone
A retest here without strong bullish catalysts may present a swing short opportunity
🔸 DAILY BIAS
Bias remains neutral to bearish until the 3330–3344 zone is decisively reclaimed and confirmed as support.
🔹 Daily Key Zones
🔴 Supply Zones
3420–3450
Premium FVG + Daily OB + Historical rejection wick
High-probability inducement area; only valid for shorts if 3344 fails to flip
3388–3402
Minor supply + internal structure break
Weaker, short-term reaction zone — monitor for signs of rejection if price extends
🔵 Support Zones
3230–3208
Daily FVG + Unmitigated Bullish OB + Discount territory
High interest for long setups only if confirmed by clean bullish rejection
3170–3154
Untapped daily OB + Historical support wick
Stronger potential reversal zone if 3230 breaks; confluence with deeper fib + likely RSI oversold
🔸 H4 BIAS
Short-term structure is bearish, with consistent lower highs forming beneath the key 3344–3351 supply zone.
🔹 H4 Key Zones
🔴 Supply Zones
3344–3351
H4 FVG + OB cluster within premium zone
A wick above recent highs followed by rejection could set up a clean swing short
3380–3394
Origin of the last bearish leg + stop hunt wick
High-risk rejection zone — watch for fast spikes into this area for potential fades
🔵 Support Zones
3265–3275
H4 FVG + Flip level + Prior sweep zone
A hold here could suggest re-accumulation, targeting 3327 and possibly 3340
3235–3246
Strong unmitigated OB + Discount pricing
Ideal sniper entry zone only with bullish rejection + M15+ BOS confirmation
XAUUSD_15M_SellGold Analysis Short-term Time Frame Elliott Wave Analysis Style The market could enter a decline due to the completion of five waves from the major wave 5, and as long as the price maintains the resistance of 3342, the trend could turn bearish and move towards the target of 3322 and finally 3315.
XAUUSD NY SESSION FLOW – JULY 8→ 9 , 2025"Structure doesn’t lie. Price answered exactly where we expected it to."
Hey traders 👋
Let’s set the record straight after today’s precision bounce. We saw textbook price action across all sessions — Asia triggered the short from our 3344–3351 HTF supply, and both London and New York followed through with no hesitation, driving price down to 3287.
But here’s the key point:
🧨 3287 was just 10 pips above our clean 3286–3280 buy zone.
No mitigation. Just a front-run.
That’s what real liquidity does — grabs what it needs before the crowd gets in. Our zone is still valid… just untouched.
🔍 HTF BIAS & STRUCTURE UPDATE
📆 Daily Bias:
Structure is still bearish — lower highs, CHoCH, and soft RSI.
EMAs 5/21 are flat. No power for bulls unless 3351 breaks.
⏰ H4 Bias:
New lower high confirmed after rejection from our 3344–3351 zone.
Trend is still bearish unless we reclaim 3330+ with conviction.
Liquidity is driving movement, not news.
🕐 H1 Flow:
Bounce from 3287 = engineered reaction before real demand
Price now hovering above 3306, forming mid-structure
No trade in the middle. Let’s work the edges.
🎯 TODAY’S SNIPER ZONES
🔻 SELL ZONES
1. 3325–3330
Nearest short trap. OB + inefficiency + H1 rejection base.
If price returns, watch M15/M30 for CHoCH or BOS → entry.
2. 3344–3351
Our major HTF supply. Asia already reacted from top half.
If revisited, this zone remains the high-probability rejection zone.
3. 3380–3394
Premium OB + imbalance pocket.
Untouched zone far above — if tapped late in the week, watch for liquidity sweep → clean reversal potential.
🟢 BUY ZONES
1. 3297–3300
NY session bounce zone. Price tapped 3297 → pushed to 3306.
Still live for intraday reentry if price retests and confirms with BOS.
2. 3286–3280
Our true demand base. Price front-ran it by 10 pips — didn’t mitigate.
Still valid, still reactive. Don’t delete this zone.
3. 3263–3255
Last line of support. Deep zone — only comes into play if 3280 fails with conviction.
✅ EXECUTION REMINDERS
Price is hovering mid-range → don’t force entries
Only act if structure reacts at the edges (3325 or 3286)
3380–3394 may be a late-week trap if bulls get overconfident
📌 If this breakdown helped, hit 🚀 and drop a comment:
👉 Are you stalking 3325… or waiting for 3286 to finally wake up?
Let structure talk. You just execute.

GOLD: Local Bullish Bias! Long!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse GOLD together☺️
The market is at an inflection zone and price has now reached an area around 3,324.79 where previous reversals or breakouts have occurred.And a price reaction that we are seeing on multiple timeframes here could signal the next move up so we can enter on confirmation, and target the next key level of 3,330.13.Stop-loss is recommended beyond the inflection zone.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
Gold/USD Bullish Reversal from Support Zone Gold/USD Bullish Reversal from Support Zone 🟢📈
Technical Analysis:
Support Zone: Price is consistently respecting the horizontal support range near 3,305 – 3,310, confirming it as a strong demand zone (marked by multiple orange circles and previous bounce reactions).
Bullish Structure: After breaking the descending trendline, the price has retested the trendline and horizontal support zone, forming a higher low — a classic bullish reversal signal.
Target Projection: The measured move projection targets a potential upside near 3,366.979, aligned with previous highs.
Bullish Candlestick Patterns: Green arrows highlight bullish price action at significant reversal points, confirming buyer strength at support.
Harmonic Pattern: The shaded harmonic pattern suggests completion near the previous lows, which aligns with the reversal zone.
Conclusion:
As long as the price holds above the support area and respects the trendline retest, bulls may push toward the projected target. A break below the zone would invalidate this bullish setup.
XAUUSD Pre-FOMC SMC Setup This is a Smart Money Concept (SMC) based bullish setup on XAUUSD (Gold) ahead of the upcoming FOMC statement release. The idea builds on internal liquidity grabs, break of structures (BOS), and refined entry from a high-probability H1 bullish order block.
🧠 Price Action Narrative:
Price formed multiple Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS) following a mitigation of the higher H1 OB.
The final BOS to the upside was preceded by a sweep of short-term sell-side liquidity (marked as “$$$”), confirming bullish intent.
Price tapped into a refined H1 Order Block (OB) at ~3295.552, which also aligns with a previously unmitigated demand zone.
Clean reaction seen with strong bullish momentum pushing toward the next H1 Supply Zone (H1 SP).
🧩 Key SMC Zones:
H1 OB Entry Zone: ~3295.552
H1 SP Target Zone: 3318–3324
Invalidation Below: 3283.643 (OB low)
🕓 FOMC News Impact:
The FOMC statement in 15 minutes adds volatility potential. The bias remains bullish unless price invalidates the H1 OB. However, news-driven momentum could:
Accelerate the move into the H1 SP zone.
Induce a liquidity sweep before the actual push.
Temporarily fake out and then return to internal structure.
🎯 Trade Management Considerations:
Risk should be adjusted accordingly due to upcoming high-impact news.
Aggressive TP near the H1 SP.
Conservative traders may want to monitor how price reacts at MSS or internal resistance zones.
7.8 Gold Analysis7.8 Gold Analysis
Currently, the market is in a tug-of-war between long and short positions
1. Short forces (suppressing gold prices):
Federal Reserve hawkish expectations: Strong non-farm data has reduced market expectations for a rate cut in July, and even strengthened the "higher and longer" interest rate stance.
Stronger US dollar and US Treasury yields: Cooling expectations for rate cuts have pushed up the US dollar and Treasury yields, increasing the opportunity cost of holding interest-free assets such as gold.
2. Long forces (supporting gold prices):
Geopolitical risks: Trump's threat to impose tariffs (trade friction risks) and other unspecified geopolitical tensions have increased gold's safe-haven appeal.
Economic uncertainty: Potential trade frictions themselves will also bring uncertainty to the economic outlook, which is good for gold.
Technical analysis
Watershed: 3320
Resistance level (short selling area): Near 3320
Strategy: Before the price effectively breaks through and stabilizes at 3320, any rebound to this position is seen as a short selling opportunity.
Breakout signal: If the price effectively breaks through and stands above 3320, the technical pattern will turn bullish, and the bearish idea should be abandoned. Consider going long or waiting.
Today's strategy
SELL: around 3320
SL: 3330
TP: 3310-3280
Be cautious in trading and control the risk! I wish you a smooth transaction!
XAUUSD PRICE MIGHT DROP! Major resistance is at 3485.62I am still bearish in XAUUSD. I still anticipate a correction to occur in the market as price still finds it difficult to break the make a new high. Technically, I’ll be monitoring when price will resist the High one more time this coming week so as to gain a potential sell entry!
