Be the Choosy trader on Gold!Price is dragging on dropping. being very indecisive. Looks like the entire market is waiting on News to help give it a push. I need to see price break out of value before I can get a read on a sold move. in the mean time this is sclaping conditions. You can hold trades. Have to cut them short quick with this price action. Since we have some USD news tomorrow that indicates that the market might be waiting for that before proceeding on any decisions. Patience is key!

Can Gold Continue Higher? Last month, I pointed out that Large Speculators started to close out their net-long positions in Gold futures, betting on the possibility of a reversal as they attempted to time the market turn at all-time highs. This behavior continued for several weeks, yet Gold’s price continued its upward rally, leaving many traders scratching their heads. What’s particularly puzzling is the lack of chasing in this rally, especially considering the massive price movement since then. This is particularly surprising because Large Speculators, for the most part, are trend-followers — and right now, the trend in Gold is unmistakably bullish. When comparing positioning in Gold to Silver, there’s a distinct difference. While Large Speculators initially followed the rally in Silver, continuing to buy as Silver lagged behind Gold, this strategy was much more reactive. Silver’s underperformance relative to Gold made sense, given that Silver is more crowded than Gold — meaning there’s less demand and fewer buyers. The key takeaway from this analysis is that the Commitment of Traders (COT) report can offer valuable insights into which market presents the better risk/reward trade. In this case, the COT report highlighted Gold as the superior trend to follow, especially for traders looking to capitalize on precious metals amidst all the tariff news and rising market uncertainty. By using the COT, traders can refine their strategies to focus on trends with more significant potential, rather than getting distracted by more volatile, crowded trades.

A Gold'en Newtonian Sell-Off Porjected By MedianlinesSir Isaac Newton stated the Third Law of Motion in his landmark work, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (commonly called the Principia), which was first published in 1687. This law appears in Book I, in the section titled Axioms, or Laws of Motion. (Axiom: A self-evident truth) Newton did explicitly present it as an axiom. In fact, it's Axiom III (or Law III) of his three fundamental laws of motion. Here's how he phrased it in the original Latin and in his own English translation: "To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts." And what does this have to do with Medianlines / pitchforks? This tool measures exactly that: the action — and the potential reaction! Medianline traders know that pitchforks project the most probable direction that a market will follow. And that direction is based on the previous action, which triggered a reaction and thus initiated the path the market has taken so far. …a little reciprocal, isn’t it? ;-) So how does this fit into the chart? The white pitchfork shows the most probable direction. It also outlines the extreme zones — the upper and lower median lines — and in the middle, the centerline, the equilibrium. We see an “undershoot,” meaning a slightly exaggerated sell-off in relation to the lower extreme (the lower median line). And now, as of today, we’re seeing this overreaction mirrored exactly at the upper median line! Question: What happened after the lower “overshoot”? New Question: What do you think will happen now, after the market has overshot the upper median line? 100% guaranteed? Nope! But the probability is extremely high! And that’s all we have when it comes to “predicting” in trading — probabilities. Why? Because we can’t see the future, can we? Gold? Short! Looking forward to constructive comments and input from you all

Gold Futures: Flight of the PhoenixCOMEX:GC1! Gold Futures Analysis: Gold futures are currently presenting a clearer picture compared to equity index futures. Crude oil futures, on the other hand, have already priced in much of the recent tariff news, with a reversal observed from the 2025 mid-range back towards $65. Despite heightened volatility, the WTI crude oil market remains relatively balanced, with bearish sentiment materializing, if prices drop below and stay below the $65 mark. Gold futures, however, are offering more defined risk-reward opportunities at the moment. Our analysis shows a macro bullish trend in gold, along with price discovery and market auction trends visible on lower timeframes. On the 4-hour chart below, we observe a rising upward channel, with key levels identified and reasoning for these levels labeled on the chart. Key Levels: • ATH: 3201.6 • HVN (High Volume Node) for long entry: 3115 • LVN (Low Volume Node)/LIS for short entry: 3095.1 • Key LVN Support: 3003.7-3018 Scenario 1: Bearish Continuation If Gold futures stay below the trend line that defines both our long and short trade ideas, the bearish scenario could materialize. For a short trade to be viable, we would look for a close below the LVN/LIS level (3095.1) and enter on a pullback, targeting the major LVN support zone around 3018.0. Example trade parameters for Scenario 1: • Entry: 3095.1 • Stop: 3125 • Target: 3018 • Risk: 29.9 points • Reward : 77.1 points • Risk to Reward Ratio: RRR=77.1/29.9 ≈2.58 Scenario 2: Bullish Reversal In the event that Gold futures push back towards all-time highs due to heightened uncertainty and a flight to safety, we expect initial profit-taking by shorter timeframe traders to provide a pullback. This could present a long opportunity towards the all-time highs. Example trade parameters for Scenario 2: • Entry: 3115 • Stop: 3095 • Target: 3200 • Risk : 20 points • Reward : 85 points • Risk-to-Reward Ratio: RRR= 85/20 = 4.25 Important Notes: • These are example trade ideas, and traders are encouraged to do their own analysis and preparation before entering any positions. • Stop losses are not guaranteed to trigger at specified levels, and actual losses may exceed predetermined stop levels.

The day's rebound is mainly highAt present, the gold market has been fluctuating in the range for some time, and the market has not made a directional choice, which means that the gold price will continue to fluctuate during the day, and it is a downward flag adjustment range. For our operation layout, we should keep high-altitude and low-multiple in the range. In the oscillating market, we mainly focus on the recent direction. It is obvious that it is a short-selling oscillation after the top falls. In the range, high-altitude and low-multiple are the first to focus on the opportunity of shorting. In this market at noon, we still need to continue to wait for the opportunity to short. From the four-hour trend, the upper pressure is focused on the 3036 line, and the lower support is near the support level of 3010! Gold operation suggestions: short near 3032-3036, stop loss 3042, target 3015

Hilarious algo failImagine getting one hour to think about what to do after the Trump speech, and coming up with the idea to sell your only winner (gold futures) at market price immediately after the one hour break, lol. Probably sold it to buy more index futures, lol, morons. Apparent that is what at least one of the algos did. It looks like all of the algos are desperate for cash right now because gold futures are not tracking spot price. (I posted a plot) If you bought GLD like I did, look at spot pricing XAU/USD tomorrow, not futures GC1!. We're up over 1% now.

Gold inertia accelerates towards 3000 markAfter gold broke a new high overnight, it further increased to around 2990, and the daily line finally closed with a big bald sun. The previous sideways squat gave the bulls sufficient power, strong kinetic energy and fast speed, and the closing price was high at the end of the day, indicating that the strong trend will continue, and there is still room for further upward movement. In the 4H cycle, after breaking through the previous high pressure of 2956, the inertia of rushing up caused the indicators to deviate slightly. In the white market, we will first look at the correction space for the decline, and then look at further upward movement after the correction. The top and bottom support below is around 2956, and the 1H cycle support is at 2967. In terms of operation, we will continue to treat it as a long-term idea, and then gradually look at the 3000 mark on the top. Do not blindly guess the top and empty. Operation suggestion: Buy gold near 2967-68, stop loss at 2960, look at 2981, 3000!

Tesla es Mini Gold oil3.24. 25 in this video it looks like the Market's going up on the ES and Tesla. the oil Market has only traded a little bit lower than its recent High and it's not clear if the Market's going to make another move to a new high or if it's going to go a little bit lower and you can see that in the bars which are very narrow in their range and this looks different from when the market was actually actively going higher until it went to the end of the ABCD pattern which is a reversal pattern. Because the gold went to the end of the ABCD patterns going higher I am concerned that the Market's going to make a significant correction lower.... but I would be prepared for retest and minor Moves In the goal going higher and lower and that's what I tried to show to you in the video and I'm sorry that my presentation was so scattered and probably not easy to follow. the way you trade a market has to do with the kind of Trader you are... do you scalp a market or do you trade for longer trades. you could have made a few trades in gold and you could have made nice returns if several $1000 trades are suitable for you... and you could have traded as a buyer and a seller if you recognize the reversals.... but that is not an easy way to live. you could do it with discretion and not take every trade and if that works you may not need to take antacids and ulcer medication.... most people are not geared to that kind of trading and probably have a very low chance of being profitable. I am not a stop and reverse Trader.... but I show the patterns because I believe markets trade to the buyers and the sellers and that it is evident on a chart. if you don't care to be a stop and reverse Trader it is still to your advantage to know how markets trade and retest. to my thinking it's much better to at least know what it looks like as opposed to staring at your chart and having no real point of view other than the fact that you're not quite sure what the Market's going to do and all you can think about is losing money..... and even worse stay in a good trade too long and give all the money back because you don't know when to get out of a good trade. when you learn how to trade you still have to deal with the reversals in the market it's never going to stop... the need that you have to evaluate the price action that can work against you. my personal belief is that it's not easy to trade, I personally don't enjoy Trading but I don't mind making money if I do trade. my mission is to show you the trade location and the direction of the market. and the stop and a little Target without hitting the stop first... and if you can do that then the market should trade in your favor for at least a while and if it gets to that initial Target you have a reasonable reward and if it continues going in a Direction that could take some of your gains back.... but you haven't lost money yet.... that's okay..... it's still better than getting into markets and immediately losing money because you're not reading the market and you don't have a reasonable plan. I am sorry for my delivery during the videos... it's not intentional... and if it gets worse I'm going to have to stop. a fully intend to trade at this point Until evidence shows that I'm not trading well. I will go with the flow it's been fun.

Gold is strong and looking for a second rise pointU.S. Treasury bonds rose on the back of risk aversion, and U.S. Treasury yields fell collectively. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.273%; the two-year Treasury yield, which is more sensitive to monetary policy, closed at 3.98%. As the global trade war intensifies and stimulates risk aversion demand, spot gold hit a new record high, approaching the $2,990 mark, and finally closed up 1.9% at $2,988.89 per ounce. Spot silver closed up 2.15% at $33.86 per ounce. In terms of interest rate cuts, the latest CME "Fed Watch" data shows that the probability of maintaining interest rates unchanged in March is 98.0%, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut is 2.0%, the probability of maintaining the current interest rate unchanged by May is 79.9%, the probability of a cumulative 25 basis point rate cut is 19.8%, and the probability of a cumulative 50 basis point rate cut is 0.4%. U.S. gold continued to rise, breaking through the integer mark of $3,000 per ounce during the session. Note that the volatility of the market is increasing. Gold fluctuated upward on Thursday, with a large positive line recorded at the daily level. The gold bulls performed very strongly and there is a probability of further continuation. Today's operation considers retracement and layout of long orders first, and high short orders as a supplement. Gold plan: Gold retreats above 2966 and stabilizes more, with a target of 2978-2990, and a stop loss of 5 US dollars. If the gold price breaks below $2940/ounce, it will stop the expected bullish trend and push the gold price to regain the main trend of fluctuations. It is expected that the gold price will trade between the support level of $2960/ounce and the resistance level of $3000/ounce today.
