XAU / USD 4 Hour Chart$3226.00 is the area to watch. I am watching the 4 hour and I peek at the 1 hour.. I need to see a break and close above and if a retest is successful, I would try to catch it from there. I am not trying to force or rush a trade. I can also see gold pushing down over the next few weeks to my area of inters marked on the chart. Patience is key. Big G gets all my thanks. Happy Monday.

The United States and the United Kingdom reached a new trade agreement, partially eliminating tariffs in specific areas.
Trump publicly stated that if the trade agreement and tax cuts can be achieved, "you'd better buy stocks now."
Since the opening of the market in April, regardless of whether the price of gold rises or falls, market fluctuations of more than $100 per day have become the norm!
There are countless people who have blown up their positions, so risk control is always the most important means of self-protection.
In other words:
Maybe your trading skills are not up to standard (because it takes a lot of time to practice and learn)
But your risk control habits and level must be A+ (this is a standard answer)
So your average score may only reach B
Currently, spot gold has broken through the 3300 mark and is expected to test the 3200 mark next.

Gold (XAU/USD) – 1H Analysis
📈 Recap & Context
Yesterday, gold posted a strong bullish reaction from the Daily Bull OTE zone (~$3,080–$3,130), aligning with a long-term potential continuation setup.
However, in the early hours of today, we’ve seen a retracement right into the Bull OTE of yesterday’s impulsive move, giving us a potential higher low formation.
🔍 Current Key Zones
🟦 Bull OTE (1H) : Acted as support this morning after the rebound.
⬜️ Supply Zone @ $3,240–$3,260: Remains the main resistance area to break.
⬜️ FVG 4H + 1H: Acted as mid-retracement support and demand zone.
🧠 What to Monitor
✅ Bullish Scenario :
A clean re-entry above $3,225, ideally backed by volume, would strongly suggest the bullish continuation is in play, with targets back toward $3,300+.
⚠️ Bearish Scenario:
A strong rejection from the $3,225 supply could signal that yesterday’s bounce was just a reactionary move in a broader downtrend.
In that case, we might revisit deeper retracement zones from the yearly leg up — possibly around $3,080 or even $3,000–$2,960 again.
📌 Conclusion
Gold is at a mid-range inflection point.
Either it confirms strength by reclaiming the $3,240 zone with conviction,
or we risk seeing a deeper corrective wave before any trend resumption.
3202 Buy and see reboundGold, the price fell to 3120 on Thursday and then rebounded, and boosted by the market's risk aversion sentiment, it rose to 3252 overnight, and the trend continuity is poor; the daily chart recorded a real big sun, and it will maintain a wide range of fluctuations in the short term, waiting for the results of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations;
First fell back, now reported 3207; short-term decline and rebound showed a signal of stopping the decline, and a rebound and consolidation are expected in the evening; short-term support 3202, strong support 3192-3186; short-term resistance 3214-3218, strong resistance 3224-3230, break to see 3252;
In terms of operation, it is recommended to try to buy in the short term;
Strategy 1: Buy near 3202, protect 3192, target 3242;
Golds Correction Is Over!Gold corrected itself all the way down to 3120 yesterday which is a significant demand level by institutions. Price then rebounded and closed at 3150. If it creates a confirmed HL by the end of Friday, the odds and probability XAUUSD will go back to its supply area at 3500 is highly probable. Price will also depend on macro fundamentals. The weekly shows a strong uptrend and so as the monthly chart. Institutions started buying back and increased their long positions.
Gold: Sell in the 3252-3272 rangeDuring today’s session, gold rebounded steadily from around 3120, ultimately closing near 3240, marking a massive $120 surge. Judging from this momentum, price is likely aiming to fill the gap around 3266.
However, after such a sharp rally, chasing long positions at high levels can be risky — potential for getting trapped is high.
🔍 Gap zone: 3266–3272
📌 Before reaching this zone, resistance exists near 3252
📈 Trading Plan:
If price does not pull back below 3213 after the market opens and instead continues climbing:
👉 Avoid chasing longs.
👉 Consider shorting near the 3252–3272 resistance zone.
If you still want to go long:
✅ Keep your target small
✅ Use a quick in, quick out approach — scalping style
🎯 Manage your positions carefully after strong moves like this.
The rebound in gold prices is for better short selling
After gold fell below 3200 this week, the current trend is as shown in the figure. The end of this wave is tentatively set at around 2900. There may be a rebound during the period, but it is only a rebound. After the news faded, I emphasized that the gold price of 3500 was a top to look at the retracement in my analysis after the 9th of this month. I also gave a short-selling strategy and the staged support position below. Now the support level has been broken one after another, so we can continue to look at the target according to the trend.
The last wave of decline at the short-term level has gone through several shock adjustments along the way. Now the gold price has rebounded again near 3120, and the highest rebound reached 3153. I also gave some people a reminder to continue shorting along the way. Now I will mainly make a brief analysis of the hourly line. After the sharp drop, the gold price must be repaired. One is shock adjustment repair, and the other is rebound repair. Under this extreme decline trend, gold does not have the conditions for a rebound, so I think the rebound here at 3120 is just caused by some short orders choosing to sell for profit, so the market will continue to fall in the future.
Now there are two main positions to focus on above. The first is the previous low point near 3168 during the decline, and the other is the starting point of the last wave near 3156. If the rebound does not cross these two positions, we can continue to see gold testing or even breaking through the recent low of 3120. Pay attention to the step support below near 3088.
XAUUSD Correction Phase May Present Upside PotentialOn the 1-hour timeframe, I estimate that XAUUSD is currently at the end of wave v of wave (c). This suggests that the recent correction is relatively limited, having already tested the 3096–3122 area. Going forward, XAUUSD has the potential to strengthen toward the 3192–3250 zone.
Gold has Expecting Bearish PatternAccording this analysis use trade carefully,

XAUUSD: Analysis and Signals for May 13Gold technical analysis
Daily chart resistance 3284, support below 3200-3167

Gold operation suggestions: In the Asian market on Tuesday, spot gold fell to 3216 and continued to rise, eventually breaking through 3260 US dollars. From the current trend analysis, the support below focuses on the first-line support of the 3200 integer mark, and the upper pressure focuses on the one-hour level resistance 3270 and the four-hour level resistance 3284 near the suppression. The short-term long and short strength watershed 3284 first-line mark, before the daily level breaks through and stands on this position, continue to maintain the idea of rebound selling unchanged.

Today's gold trend analysis, go long in batches🗞News side:
1. China-US trade relations eased, suspending some tariffs and countermeasures
2. Russia and Ukraine suspended firing for 30 days, and the India-Pakistan conflict was temporarily mediated
📈Technical aspects:
Since the US and China lowered some tariffs after the negotiation, the US dollar has recovered some of its losses, but gold has not completely recovered some of its losses. At present, the price of gold has once again retreated to near the 3260 line. Although the hourly level MACD indicator shows a golden cross, the daily level is still a dead cross and heavy volume.
Then in the short term, the gold price may show some counter-twitching momentum before the US dollar steps back to confirm support, or it may touch near the 3277 line. The gold price may fall further after the US dollar steps back to confirm the support. From a technical point of view, the upper daily resistance is near 3287, while the lower first-line support of 3200 is strong, and there is a tendency to form a double bottom. The European market can consider using 3250-40 US dollars as a support point, and the early trading low near 3220 as a defensive position. First, let's see the gold price continue to rebound to 3277-80-87, unless the European market weakens and breaks the Asian low, and then the US market adjusts. Temporarily, we will see a rebound correction.

📌 Gold driving factors
The joint statement of the Sino-US Geneva economic and trade talks has just been released. This development has hit the safe-haven demand for gold and has become the fuse for a new round of gold selling.
Coupled with the hawkish "holding back" of the Federal Reserve, the dollar has remained stable near its multi-week high and put pressure on gold. The trend of gold prices seems quite fragile.
📊Commentary analysis
The next resistance for gold prices is the static barrier of $3360-3365/ounce. If it can be decisively overcome, it will eliminate the recent bearish tendency and lay the foundation for gold prices to regain the $3400/ounce mark.
