Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD July 17, 2025
🔍 Momentum Analysis
D1 timeframe: Momentum is still trending downward, but we’re starting to see signs of convergence between the indicator lines. Normally, we would expect another two daily candles to reach the oversold zone and trigger a potential reversal. However, with the current narrowing pattern, we cannot rule out the possibility of an earlier reversal. Today’s daily close will be crucial for confirmation.
H4 timeframe: Momentum is clearly declining, suggesting that the market may either continue downwards or consolidate sideways throughout the day.
🌀 Elliott Wave Structure
On the H4 chart, price action is compressing tightly at the end of a symmetrical triangle pattern – a classic setup in Elliott Wave theory. Notably, this final point of compression coincides with the POC (Point of Control), indicating a key price level where high volume has accumulated.
Wave W (in black) follows a 3-wave structure. Yesterday, price surged to the beginning of wave W and then sharply reversed, forming the basis for two potential scenarios:
Scenario 1 – WXY structure with current price completing wave Y within wave e (green):
+ Target 1: 3327
+ Target 2: 3303
Scenario 2 – Wave e (green) evolves into a triangle:
+ In this case, price may consolidate sideways above the 3327 zone.
🔗 Combining Wave and Momentum Analysis
Both D1 and H4 momentum indicators are still pointing downward. However, the price candles appear overlapping and lack clear directional strength – a common trait of compression near the triangle’s apex. With price sitting right on the POC, there’s a high chance of continued tightening before a breakout. At this stage, the recommended strategy is to wait for a strong bullish candle at one of the target zones before entering a BUY position.
📈 Trade Setup
✅ Scenario 1 – BUY at 3327 – 3326
+ Stop Loss: 3317
+ Take Profit 1: 3342
+ Take Profit 2: 3358
+ Take Profit 3: 3402
✅ Scenario 2 – BUY at 3305 – 3302
+ Stop Loss: 3295
+ Take Profit 1: 3327
+ Take Profit 2: 3358
+ Take Profit 3: 3402
Analysis of 7.17 Gold Operation: Buy High and Sell LowYesterday, the trend of gold in the first half was quite regular. The rebound in the Japanese session was under pressure, and the European session continued to fall back to test the 3320 mark. The key here has been repeatedly emphasized yesterday. The gold market in the second half was more exciting. First, the news was released that Trump was ready to draft the dismissal of the Federal Reserve Chairman. Gold directly rose by 50 US dollars and broke through the recent high of 3375. Then he said that he had no intention of dismissing the Federal Reserve Chairman. Gold rushed up and fell back by 40 US dollars. The daily line finally closed with an inverted hammer pattern with a very long upper shadow line.
After the end of this pattern, today's market is still bearish. If the market is extremely weak, it will continue to fall below 3358. Pay attention to the attack and defense of the 3320 mark below. If it falls below, it will open the downward space to test the 3300 mark. During the day, we will temporarily set the small range of 3320-3358 to run, sell high and buy low, and retreat to 3325. One low long, defend yesterday's low, look up to 3335, 3342, 3358, and then reverse high.

Gold: Bull-Bear Swings & Today's Trade Tips + AnalysisAnalysis of Gold News Drivers:
During the U.S. session on Wednesday (July 16th), spot gold surged sharply and is currently trading around 3,370 🚀. Trump stated that tariff letters will soon be sent to small countries, with rates likely slightly above 10%, providing safe-haven support for gold prices 🛡️.
Gold prices fell 0.5% on Tuesday, closing at 3,324.68, barely holding above the 55-day moving average of 3,222 📉. Earlier, the U.S. June CPI increase hit its highest level since January, pushing the U.S. dollar index to a nearly three-week high, while U.S. Treasury yields also climbed to a six-week peak, pressuring gold prices ⚖️. The dollar index has risen for four consecutive trading days, hitting a high of 98.70 on Tuesday, the highest since June 23rd 🆙. A stronger dollar makes dollar-denominated gold more expensive for investors holding other currencies, thereby weighing on gold prices 💸.
However, the market largely interprets the dollar's recent rally as a technical adjustment rather than a reversal of the long-term trend 🔄. Despite short-term pullbacks in gold prices, market sentiment has not fully turned pessimistic 😐. While gold is currently in a consolidation range since mid-May, uncertainties surrounding tariff policies may offer support 🔀. Overall, the long-term outlook for gold remains optimistic, with sustained market focus on tariff issues expected to drive a rebound in gold prices in the future 📈

The price action suggests a possible continuation of the bullish momentum, supported by the higher lows and projected upside trajectory.

Key Levels

OANDA:XAUUSD
Gold adjustment is complete and continue to be long
Gold rebounded at 3322 today. Technically, it needs to rebound and repair when it falls back to 3318-25, so we can find opportunities to go long below to seize the profit space of the rebound. If your current gold operation is not ideal, I hope I can help you avoid detours in your investment. Welcome to communicate with us!
From the 4-hour analysis, the upper short-term pressure focuses on 3340-45, and the lower short-term support focuses on 3318-20. Relying on this range, the main tone of high-altitude low-multiple cycle participation remains unchanged during the day. In the middle position, watch more and move less, and follow orders cautiously, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market.
Gold operation strategy:
Gold falls back to 3318-25 and goes long, stop loss 3312, target 3340-45, and continue to hold if it breaks;
Gold (XAU/USD) Trading Analysis for July 16Support Zone: The market has found support around the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level at 3,333.58. This could be a potential entry point for a long trade if the price bounces here.
Resistance Zone: The price action is approaching the 3,345.18 level, with a strong resistance around that zone. If the price breaks above this resistance, we could see further upward movement.
Price Action: We can observe an initial bullish movement followed by a correction. The price is currently in an uptrend, forming a series of higher lows and higher highs.
Fibonacci Levels: The 0.5 level at 3,333.58 has already acted as a support zone, and if the price retraces back here, this could be a good opportunity to enter long positions. The 0.618 level at 3,336.32 serves as a key resistance point. If price breaks above this level, it could indicate a continuation of the bullish trend.
Bullish Scenario (Long Entry): If the price retraces back to the 3,333.58 area (0.5 Fibonacci level) and shows signs of support (such as bullish candlestick patterns), consider entering long with a target at 3,345.18.
Bearish Scenario (Short Entry): If the price fails to break above 3,345.18 and forms a reversal pattern, you could consider shorting with a target near 3,320.
Risk Management:
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss just below 3,330, allowing for a small margin of error in case the price breaks through the support level.
Take Profit: Consider setting a take-profit at 3,345.18 for short-term moves or look for further price action if you're aiming for a longer-term trend.
Reminder: Always monitor the price action closely and adjust stop losses accordingly. The market is subject to volatility, especially during high-impact news events, so make sure to stay updated.

Upward opportunity in the bull-bear tug-of-war of goldUpward opportunity in the bull-bear tug-of-war of gold
Current price: $3,360/ounce, yesterday's roller coaster market of $3,375-3,343
▶ Key driving factors
Bullish factors:
🔥 Trump tariff bomb: 30% tariff on EU/Mexico from August 1 (EU 21 billion euro counter-list to be issued)
🌪️ Geopolitical risks escalate: The United States issued a 50-day ultimatum to Russia, and NATO accelerated the arming of Ukraine
📉 Potential weakness of the US dollar: Market expectations for the Fed's September rate cut remain at 72%
Negative pressure:
💵 US dollar rebound: US dollar index hit 98.14 (three-week high)
📈 US Treasury yields: 10-year rose to 4.447% (four-week high)
▶ Technical key framework (bullish perspective)
Trend structure:
• The daily line stands firm on the short-term moving average, and the 3325-30 area forms a bullish defense line
• Breaking through 3375 will open up the space of 3400-3450
• The 4-hour chart maintains an upward channel, and 3340-45 constitutes the first support of the day
Trading strategy:
① Aggressive long: light position at the current price of 3345 to try long, increase position at 3330, stop loss below 3317, target 3365-75
② Breakthrough trading: large volume breakthrough 3375 to chase long, stop loss 3360, target 3400
③ Hedge protection: buy 3300 put options to hedge against black swan risks
"Every callback caused by the trade war is a better entry point for bulls - this time will be no exception." - A senior gold trader
▶ Today's focus
⏰ 20:30 US June CPI data (expected to be 2.7% year-on-year)
• If the actual ≤2.5%: gold may go straight to 3400
• If the actual value is ≥3.0%, it may test the support of 3320
Personal opinion: In the context of the increasing tension in the trade war, the current support area of 3340-45 is very attractive. Although it is constrained by the rebound of the US dollar in the short term, the safe-haven property of gold will eventually prevail - it is recommended to arrange long orders on dips and wait for the CPI data to trigger the market.
