The bull market is not over yet, gold is heading towards 3400Sentiment Misjudgment: A significant number of market participants misread the price action, anticipating a technical pullback based on historical precedent. However, gold defied expectations, breaking to fresh all-time highs, indicating a departure from traditional market behavior. Recent Price Performance: Gold has rallied from $2970 to $3380, registering a $400+ gain, now approaching the critical psychological barrier at $3400, supported by strong momentum. Macro Drivers: The global economy is entering a stagflationary phase, with persistently low real interest rates increasing gold’s appeal as an inflation hedge. Geopolitical tensions are escalating, heightening demand for safe-haven assets. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s independence is under pressure amid political interference, reinforcing expectations for a policy pivot. A shift away from the "cash is king" doctrine is emerging, with gold reasserting its role as a store of value in a global rebalancing of capital. Technical Outlook: Gold maintains a structurally bullish setup, with key intraday supports at $3365 and $3355. Sustained trading above this zone increases the probability of a breakout toward $3390–$3395, with further upside potential in the U.S. session. Strategic Recommendations: Avoid holding long-term short positions against the prevailing trend. Treat any corrective pullbacks as opportunities for accumulation within a broader bullish cycle. Use $3360 as the key pivot level, maintaining a buy-on-dip strategy as long as it holds. Stay disciplined with risk management and be a "friend of the trend"—let time compound the value of correct positioning.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone, A PITASTIC day on the charts with our targets getting smashed, confirmed with ema5 cross and lock to give us plenty of time to get in for the action. After support and bounce from 3201 Goldturn into 3230 we stated that we will now look for a break and lock above 3230 for a continuation into the Bullish targets above. We got the lock opening the levels above hitting our Bullish target at 3261, followed with a further cross and lock opening 3292, which was hit perfectly and then our final lock for today above 3292 opened 3324 now complete - what a day!!!!! We will now look for a lock above 3324 for a continuation into our final target 3352 or a rejection here will see price test the Goldturn below for support and bounce. 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. The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges. BULLISH TARGET 3261 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 3261 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 3292 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 3292 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 3324 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 3324 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 3352 BEARISH TARGETS 3230 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 3230 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BEARISH TARGET 3201 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 3201 WILL OPEN THE RETRACEMENT RANGE 3179 3152 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 3152 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE 3120 3094 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 3094 WILL OPEN THE SECONDARY SWING RANGE SECONDARY SWING RANGE 3069 - 3038 As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups.

Street targets climb: GS sees $3 700–4 500, JPM $3 000+. ✨ Summary Technicals flag a pullback, yet fresh central‑bank demand, a weaker USD, lower real yields and escalating trade risks add upside torque—any bounce off $3 430 could retest $3 520. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with a like.

GOLD, hibernated - and its good. More energy for MORE RISE AHEADSignal: LONG GOLD After going parabolic this past few days -- hitting a series of ATH on daily basis, Gold finally took some well deserved respite, and hibernated to tap previous resistance turned support area. Price is now basing again at this discounted zone -- an ideal seeding area. Fib tap at 38.2 has been spotted. This is where most buyers converge. The growth prospect of this next phase in progress is a bit on the generous side. A possible 2500 pip scenario from the current price range. Long at current price 3330. Target 3650. TAYOR.

XAUUSD | Strength Intact – First Support at the Blue BoxGold continues to show impressive resilience, holding onto most of its recent gains. The first area I’m watching for buyers to step in is the blue box below current price—this zone has acted as a reliable springboard in past pullbacks. 🔵 Why This Zone Matters • Buyers have consistently proven up here that they’re willing to defend these levels. • When gold revisits the blue box, it often finds momentum to lift back toward new highs. 🧠 How to Trade It Wait for Lower‑Time‑Frame Confirmation Let price dip into the blue box, then look for a neat higher‑low on a 5‑ or 15‑minute chart. A pause there, coupled with positive CDV shifts, is your cue to join the move. Be Ready to Adapt If gold breaks below the blue box without giving a solid bounce, I won’t force a long. Instead I’ll step back, wait for the next known support, and reassess. Capture the Reaction – Don’t Chase Imagine catching that sweet spot where buyers push off the blue box—getting in early before the crowd follows. That’s how these setups pay off. 🤝 Why You’ll Want to Follow This I share these levels because they work again and again. You’re not just copying numbers; you’re aligning yourself with a clear, tested approach that keeps you ahead of knee‑jerk moves. Trade with the confirmations, let the market show its hand, and you’ll see why staying patient pays off. 📌I keep my charts clean and simple because I believe clarity leads to better decisions. 📌My approach is built on years of experience and a solid track record. I don’t claim to know it all but I’m confident in my ability to spot high-probability setups. 📌If you would like to learn how to use the heatmap, cumulative volume delta and volume footprint techniques that I use below to determine very accurate demand regions, you can send me a private message.

Gold delivers new High's each weekTechnical analysis: I have essentially nothing new to add on my previous outlook. Since the #3,352.80 break-out point was compromised, the Price-action Naturally spiked to the #3,392.80 - #3,400.80 Resistance zone mentioned on the previous commentary. Based on the #5-session Higher High’s sequence, this zone is the new local High’s (very possible that Price-action is pricing a Top here, temporary or not) and as both the Hourly 4 chart and Daily chart are Bullish to a very great extent and does not look so good for Sellers, I should Naturally expect a correction within #2-session horizon as Wall Street opening Bell could offer Low Volumed candles without of a much Price-action. The Technical answer is the Hourly 1 chart’s Support near #3,352.80 benchmark once again, which has been always touched after every Higher High’s rejection. Gold is kept Higher on pure Fundamental gradient and weak DX (on a parabolic downtrend). The turmoil with the Inflation in U.S. causing Investors turn to capital from riskier assets for protection (safe-havens in High demand such as Gold), thus causing Gold to gain value along with Tariff's. My position: I am satisfied with catching correction on Thursday, currently I do believe Gold is near local High's and correction is due. #3,352.80 benchmark is my Target.

XAUUSD H4 Outlook + Key Levels – April 21, 2025✅ XAUUSD H4 Outlook + Key Levels – April 21, 2025 🧭 Market Context & Trend After a powerful continuation post-holiday, Gold smashed through the previous ATH and is now trading in a vertical, parabolic leg — with minimal structure below and zero resistance above. 💣 Middle East tension + macro safe-haven flows = strong fuel for this spike. But we’re now in a price zone where traps and liquidation are very likely. 📈 Trend: • H4: Strong bullish BOSs since April 10 • No valid H4 CHoCH yet — structure remains bullish • Price is deep inside unmitigated premium, with signs of slowing momentum intraday 🔼 Key Levels ABOVE Price Type Zone Notes 🔻 Premium Sweep Zone 3395–3405 Key area around ATH for possible fakeout/sell trap setups — watch for M5/M15 CHoCH or BOS here 🧱 Ultimate Spike Zone 3415–3425 High-impact inefficiency from lower timeframes + round number zone – ideal for stop hunts 🚨 Extreme Spike Risk 3435–3455 No structure here — only if geopolitical tensions worsen 🔽 Key Levels BELOW Price Type Zone Notes 🔵 Intraday Buy Zone 3333–3340 Minor FVG + OB zone – valid only for scalps or continuation if PA confirms 🟩 HTF Demand 3284–3288 Strong OB + FVG + clean H4 CHoCH base – valid for swing longs if dump occurs ⚓️ Institutional Support 3220–3235 Last clean unmitigated H4 demand + equilibrium from macro breakout zone 🧠 Trading Considerations 🔻 SELL setups only valid with clear bearish confirmation (M5/M15 CHoCH + momentum shift) inside the 3395–3405 zone. No blind shorts — the trend is still active. 🟢 BUY setups are cleaner from 3284+ or deeper — chasing now is extremely risky unless price builds structure above 3400. 📉 A fast spike followed by breakdown could signal a swing reversal from this premium zone. 🎯 H4 Bias: Cautiously Bullish — structure is clean, but price is hyperextended. Best setups will come after liquidity is taken.

Gold Soars: New Record & Lucrative SignalsAs expected, trade tensions continue to stimulate the demand for gold. The price of gold per ounce has just set a new record of $3,340. The US dollar is still under pressure from trade frictions, which have begun to have a real impact on American companies and have intensified domestic concerns about an economic recession in the United States. Trump's frequent changes in tariff announcements have eroded investors' confidence in US policies and reduced their confidence in the US economy. On the daily chart, starting from the low point of $2,536.68, the price of gold has formed a sustained upward trend. Currently, the price is around $3,300, significantly higher than all major moving averages, indicating that the long-term bullish momentum remains strong. The golden cross pattern of the MACD indicator on the daily chart continues to develop, suggesting that the long-term trend momentum is still upward. The daily RSI reading is 73.45, which has entered the overbought area. It is worth noting that the price recently broke through the resistance level of $3,230.00 and then continued to rise, which further verifies the situation where the bulls are in control. In the short-term 4-hour cycle, as the price is strongly rising unidirectionally, pay attention to the support of the 5-day moving average. We can continue to be bullish as long as the price stays above $3,310. Judging from the 1-hour chart, the price of gold has maintained a strong upward momentum and is currently around $3,340. XAUUSD buy@3310-3330 tp:3340-3360 Investment itself doesn't carry risks; it's only when investment is out of control that risks arise. When trading, always remember not to act on impulse.

Gold 2025: The Asset of Last Trust - Deep Research by EXCAVOThe Influences on Gold Prices in 2025 As of 2025, gold continues to assert its status as a safe-haven asset, with prices accelerating dramatically. This surge is driven by economic uncertainties, increased central bank demand, and geopolitical tensions. The analysis focuses on the multifaceted factors influencing gold prices, including inflation fears, a declining U.S. dollar, and recent debates surrounding Fort Knox's transparency. I've delved a bit into the gold landscape and will provide ideas here aimed at helping investors and analysts navigate the complexities of the gold market. The Current Economic Climate and Its Impact Recent developments in global economic conditions have laid the groundwork for significant fluctuations in gold prices in 2025. Economic volatility, primarily driven by fears of inflation and weakening currencies, has led investors and central banks to increasingly view gold as a reliable hedge against financial instability. The aftermath of trade disputes, particularly between major economic powers, has further intensified these economic shifts. Globally, economic growth forecasts for 2025 have been downgraded significantly. According to Fitch Ratings, the world economy is expected to grow by just 2.3%, down from previous estimates of 2.9%. This deceleration is attributed to extensive tariffs imposed by the United States, leading to broader global economic uncertainty. The United States itself is seeing a contraction in growth expectations, with projections cut to 1.7% amid these tensions. Inflation in the U.S., driven by increased tariff costs, is another immediate concern, marking a sustained presence at around 3% The U.S. dollar, although currently strong, is predicted to depreciate due to ongoing inflation and economic stagnation, despite current high real trade-weighted indices—the highest since the 1980s. This depreciation trend, anticipated by analysts, could significantly impact currency markets worldwide, putting pressure on countries with high dollar exposure S&P Global. In this environment of weakening currency strength and persistent inflation, gold serves as the optimal hedge. Although the role of gold isn't directly covered in some of the current economic reports, it remains a traditional safe haven during tumultuous times—a response to the depreciation of currency values and the pervasive fear of inflationary spirals that affect purchasing power and savings CFA Institute. The global shift away from excessive reliance on the dollar reflects a broader strategy by some nations to safeguard their economies against the capricities of prevailing geopolitical circumstances. This shift may lead to increased gold purchases by central banks, aiming to stabilize financial reserves in light of uncertain future economic policies. As inflation fears continue to wear on investor confidence, gold’s relative safety seems set to keep its allure in the modern financial landscape. Geopolitical Forces Shaping Gold Prices Geopolitical tensions in 2025 remain potent catalysts driving the dynamics of gold prices. As international relations remain strained, especially between leading economies, the markets have been exceptionally responsive to developments that unsettle the economic landscape. One critical component in this scenario is the burgeoning U.S.-China trade conflict, which saw tariffs climb to an unprecedented 145% and 125% respectively, spiking gold’s appeal as a safe asset against market turmoil. This extensive strain on trade and economic relations translates into significant instability across foreign exchange markets. A pronounced example is the substantial 8% decline in the Dollar Index, making gold an attractive alternative as its purchasing power for non-U.S. investors increases . The strategic shift by some nations away from the U.S. dollar is further evidenced by noteworthy purchases of gold by central banks as they seek to diversify their foreign exchange reserves . Furthermore, the geopolitical climate is marked by a flight to safety among investors, reflected in the significant inflow of gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which absorbed 227 tonnes in Q1 of 2025 alone. This highlights how geopolitical strife propels gold as both a buffer against inflation and a refuge amidst escalating equity volatilities. Amidst these conditions, global policy adjustments also play a role. Central banks have been proactively increasing gold holdings, exemplifying a growing distrust of dollar-denominated assets. For instance, policy shifts seen with the Trump administration's enforcement of new tariffs further exacerbated market fears, as paralleled in previous periods like 2018-2020 where gold gained significant value amidst trade wars. As geopolitical uncertainty continues to prevail, the inherent security associated with gold, coupled with mounting inflationary pressures from such tensions, suggests that gold prices may well remain heavily influenced by these forces through 2025. Fort Knox: Transparency and Its Market Implications Fort Knox, a symbol of American financial might, famously houses a substantial portion of the United States' gold reserves. Recent calls for transparency have surged, fueled by high-profile figures such as Elon Musk and Donald Trump. This movement seeks to address long-standing skepticism surrounding the visibility and security of these reserves. Fort Knox's vaults hold approximately 147 million ounces of gold, valued at over $459 billion at today's market rates. The last independent audit of these reserves dates back several decades, to 1953, prompting increasing demands for accountability . Elon Musk has proposed a surprising move to audit these reserves, suggesting that the audit be livestreamed. This unprecedented proposal aims to provide public visibility into the wealth residing in the Fort Knox vaults, arguing that the American populace deserves to confirm its existence. However, despite its garnering attention, this idea encounters significant security and logistical obstacles. While the U.S. Treasury asserts that gold audits occur annually through internal procedures, skepticism remains due to the lack of external verification. Past visits, including former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's confirmation in 2017 that the reserves appeared intact, have not fully silenced doubts. Compounding this dialogue, another proposal involves employing blockchain technology to monitor the reserves. Proponents, like NYDIG's Greg Cipolaro, posit that blockchain could enhance audit transparency despite still necessitating trust in the overseeing government entities. The conversation surrounding Fort Knox's transparency underscores mounting tensions over governmental accountability in financial stewardship. If a comprehensive audit were confirmed, it could significantly bolster public confidence, contributing to more stable gold market conditions. Conversely, revealing discrepancies could heighten market volatility and public distrust. This transparency debate continues amid the broader conversation about economic policy and international financial stability. Gold Price Predictions for 2025 and Beyond Gold price predictions for 2025 highlight a growing consensus among major financial institutions that the precious metal is poised to reach new heights. With current prices hovering around $3,223 per ounce, the perspectives of Goldman Sachs, UBS, and the Bank of America offer crucial insights into the potential trajectories of gold's value. Goldman Sachs has led the charge in bullish projections, recently upgrading their gold price forecast to $3,700 per ounce by the end of 2025. This marks the third upward revision this year due to ongoing recession risks, central bank demand, and inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The bank envisions a potential rise to $4,500 should extreme economic scenarios unfold . Their analysis highlights a growing reliance on gold as a hedge against global macroeconomic uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures . UBS, another major player, shares this optimistic outlook by projecting gold to reach $3,500 in 2025. UBS's forecast aligns with several macroeconomic indicators, including persistent inflation and central bank demand, which remains robust as an average purchase exceeds previous years. Furthermore, UBS sees structural shifts, with entities such as Chinese insurance funds increasing their gold allocations. This shift underscores gold's strategic role as a portfolio stabilizer in uncertain economic landscapes. The Bank of America's approach reflects a slightly more conservative position, adjusting their gold price forecast for 2025 to $3,250 per ounce. However, they emphasize significant factors driving their projections, such as central bank accumulation and the political intricacies surrounding U.S. trade measures. The bank's analysis also anticipates gold stabilization in 2025 owing to potential profit-taking, but maintains the broader bullish trajectory through 2026 and beyond . Overall, these insights paint a vivid picture of an evolving gold market, shaped by multifaceted economic variables and featuring gold as a resilient asset and hedge amid swirling global uncertainties. Investment Strategies in Today's Gold Market Amidst the dynamic landscape of 2025, gold continues to offer opportunities for portfolio diversification, driven by economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and record-breaking prices. With the gold price surpassing $3,250 per ounce in April 2025, several factors contribute to the increased demand and strategic considerations for gold investment. Trade tensions and proposed tariffs under new U.S. policies have amplified global economic uncertainty, while persistent inflation, hovering at 2.8%, remains above the Federal Reserve's target, delaying expected interest rate cuts. Additionally, stock market volatility has prompted investors to seek diversification amidst equity downturns . Investment strategies in today's gold market require thoughtful portfolio allocation and diversification. Experts recommend limiting exposure to gold to 7–10% of total assets. This balance ensures investors benefit from gold's non-correlation with stocks and bonds without overexposure to risk . Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) or Sprott Gold Miners ETF (SGDM) are favored for their liquidity and ability to provide broad exposure to the gold market . Tactical investment options also play a critical role in maximizing returns. Fractional gold investments allow access to smaller gold amounts, such as bars or coins under one ounce, making it easier to benefit from price trends without high entry costs . Gold mining stocks present opportunities for those targeting companies with strong margins, especially as costs are significantly below current market prices . Moreover, strategic fund selection can enhance a portfolio's potential. Funds like the WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Gold Miners Strategy Fund (GDMN), which combines physical gold and mining equities, offer a hybrid exposure to gold investments . The key to navigating 2025's gold market is a disciplined approach to allocation, awareness of market shifts, and strategic use of available investment options. By doing so, investors can hedge against inflation and capitalize on market volatility for potential long-term gains. Conclusions The year 2025 has exposed the fragility of the global financial system. Gold isn’t just a haven anymore — it’s a barometer of panic, fear, and institutional failure. When markets shake, inflation becomes chronic, and Fort Knox becomes a meme, gold rises — quietly but relentlessly. What we’re witnessing is an institutional drift away from the U.S. dollar. Central banks are hoarding metal like they're bracing for something big. The global economy is cracking under tariffs, geopolitical chess moves, and eroding trust in the "reserve currency." At this point, $3,250 per ounce isn’t the top — it’s just another step up the ladder. The key: gold is no longer just a defensive asset. It has become a strategic tool of sovereignty and power. Nations diversifying into gold are building economic independence. Investors stepping in now aren’t just protecting wealth—they’re gaining leverage. My advice: keep gold in focus. Physical bullion, ETFs, mining stocks, hybrid funds — each is a puzzle piece. Gold is not hype. It’s the anchor of reason in an era where digital noise drowns out reality. Watch zones: $3500 — then $3700+. If the global system wobbles harder, $4200 won’t be a forecast — it will be the signal that the fiat era is capitulating. He who controls gold, controls trust. And he who controls trust… writes the script for the future. Best regards EXCAVO — EXCAVO

The current price action suggests buyers may step in from this support, aiming first for 3333 and then possibly extending to 3348. Based on the chart setup and price structure: 🟢 Buy Setup (From Support Zone): - Entry: Around 3318–3315 (current price area) - Stop Loss (SL): 3305 (just below the support zone to allow some buffer) - Take Profits (TPs): - TP1: 3333 (near key point resistance — secure partials here) - TP2: 3348 (major resistance zone — potential full target) --- 🔐 Risk Management Suggestion: - Risk-to-reward ratio: ~1:1 for TP1, ~2:1 for TP2 - Once TP1 is hit, consider moving SL to entry to secure the trade.
