GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [May 12 - May 16]This week, the international OANDA:XAUUSD increased from 3,210 USD/oz to 3,434 USD/oz, but immediately after that, the gold price dropped sharply to 3,274 USD/oz and closed this week at 3,325 USD/oz. The reason why the gold price was sold off at the end of the week was because the FED said it would not rush to cut interest rates, because inflation is potentially at risk of increasing due to the impact of tariffs from the Trump administration, while the US economy, especially the labor market, is also at risk of decline. This risks pushing the US economy into a state of stagflation. In addition, after the US and UK reached a trade agreement, the US side said that there will be more trade agreements with major economies in the near future. Notably, this weekend, the US and China also entered the first round of trade negotiations under President Trump in his second term in Switzerland. This has made many investors concerned that the cooling of the trade war will reduce the role of gold as a safe haven. Factors affecting gold prices next week: Federal Reserve (Fed) policy: The Fed currently keeps interest rates at 4.25% - 4.5%, and the market is waiting for new economic data (such as May CPI and employment report). If inflation continues to decline or there are signs that the Fed will cut interest rates in the near future, gold prices may be strongly supported. On the contrary, if the Fed maintains a "hawkish" stance (keeping interest rates high), gold prices may be under downward pressure. US-China trade negotiations: Optimism about the possibility of a trade agreement between the US and China (expected to be negotiated in Switzerland) is reducing the demand for safe haven gold. If there is positive news (forecast: tax reduction from 145% to 80%), gold prices may adjust down. On the contrary, if negotiations fail or tensions escalate, gold will increase sharply. Global instability: Geopolitical risks (such as Middle East conflicts, Russia-Ukraine tensions, India-Pakistan tensions) are still the driving force supporting gold prices. If there are unexpected developments, gold demand will increase. 📌Technically, gold prices next week are likely to fluctuate within the range of 3,200 - 3,400 USD/ounce, with the base scenario being sideways or slightly increasing. If gold breaks the trendline and surpasses the resistance level of 3435, the next level is that gold can conquer the old peak or create a new high. Meanwhile, if the support level of 3200 is broken, gold prices are at risk of falling deeply below the threshold of 3,100 USD/oz. However, factors such as US economic data, Fed policy, and developments in US-China negotiations will be the key to determining the trend. Investors need to closely monitor these events and apply flexible trading strategies. Notable technical levels are listed below. Support: 3,300 – 3,292 – 3,267USD Resistance: 3,351 – 3,371USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3402 - 3400⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3406 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3215 - 3217⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3211

XAU / USD Daily Chart ( Scalp Sell In Progress )Hello traders. I felt even though it is Friday, and we have news here in the US today, that this scalp trade has a good chance of success. I am only using a micro lot today, not using a full lot size. The chart shows where I sold from and where I will close a portion of the trade. At that point, my Stop Loss goes to break even (my entry point so no loss) and I leave the runner ( the remaining 25% of the trade) running. Let's see how it plays out. Big G gets all my thanks. Be well and trade the trend. Happy Friday.

“Latest Strategic Positioning and Allocation for Gold Market” The U.S. Treasury market continues its high-level consolidation, with the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield hitting 5.117% intraday, a new high since October 2023. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 4.613%, approaching the mid-February high of 4.58%, while the 20-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.126%, the highest since November 2023. Spot gold is quoted at $3,306.30 per ounce, down approximately 0.27% on the day, though it recorded three consecutive daily gains at the start of the week, supported by risk-aversion sentiment. Fluctuations in the U.S. Treasury market reflect changes in fiscal pressures, policy uncertainties, and global capital flows, driving market sentiment. Gold rose initially but fell later today—has the upward move ended prematurely? After a daily large bullish candle, today’s breach of the low suggests the bearish trend may continue. For gold, the resistance level to watch is the U.S. session rebound high near $3,316 per ounce, which will be regarded as a key bull-bear watershed. In summary, as gold encounters resistance at elevated levels, today’s trading strategy considers shorting on rebounds as the primary approach, complemented by tactical long positions on dips. Key resistance lies at $3,316–$3,340, while support is seen at $3,280–$3,260. In the market, there are no absolutes, and neither upward nor downward trends are set in stone. Therefore, the ability to judge the balance between market gains and losses is your key to success. Let money become our loyal servant.

What Is a Japanese Candlestick Pattern?Japanese candlestick patterns are a popular technical analysis tool used in financial markets such as Forex, stocks, and commodities. Each candlestick represents price movement over a specific time period, showing the opening price, closing price, highest price, and lowest price within that timeframe. The body of the candlestick reflects the price range between the open and close, while the wicks (or shadows) indicate the highest and lowest traded prices. These patterns help traders identify market sentiment, potential trend reversals, and continuation signals by analyzing the shape and arrangement of one or multiple candlesticks. For example, a Hammer pattern may indicate a possible bullish reversal after a downtrend, while an Engulfing pattern shows strong momentum in the direction of the larger candle. Common candlestick patterns include Doji, which signals market indecision; Hammer and Hanging Man, which point to potential reversals; Engulfing patterns that suggest strong buying or selling pressure; and Shooting Star, which often signals bearish reversal. Mastering these patterns allows traders to make more informed entry and exit decisions, improving their overall trading strategy. However, it’s important to combine candlestick analysis with other technical tools and market context to increase accuracy and reduce false signals. If you need more information or guidance on analyzing candlestick patterns, feel free to ask. Wishing you successful trading!

Chart Analysis (45-Minute Timeframe):1. Breakout Confirmation: The chart shows a bullish breakout from a rising wedge or channel structure, marked with two red trend lines. Price has closed above the Ichimoku cloud, confirming bullish momentum. 2. Key Resistance Levels: First resistance: $3,324.89 (being tested currently). Major target/resistance zone: $3,368.18 (highlighted by the upper red line and arrow). This zone aligns with a previous strong supply area visible on the left of the chart. 3. Support Levels: Immediate support at the breakout zone around $3,310. Additional supports lie at: $3,308.23 $3,305.13 $3,266.45 (bottom of the recent move and key invalidation zone). 4. Volume Profile: Increased bullish volume is supporting the breakout. No significant bearish volume spikes yet, indicating momentum is still in favor of buyers. 5. Ichimoku Cloud Insight: Bullish signals: Price is above the cloud. Lagging span (Chikou) is above price. Cloud ahead is green, indicating potential continued bullish trend. 6. Expected Move: If price holds above $3,310, we could see a continuation toward the target zone at $3,368. However, failure to hold above $3,310–$3,305 could lead to a pullback toward the base of the channel or cloud support. Summary: Gold is in a bullish breakout phase. A sustained move above $3,324 and holding support at $3,310 increases the likelihood of a move toward the $3,368 resistance zone. Watch volume and lower trend support for any signs of a reversal or failed breakout.

Will spot gold prices continue to rise?Spot gold prices extended their upward trend ahead of the U.S. market open, briefly touching the $3,320 level intraday. According to foreign media reports, U.S. House Speaker Johnson stated that Republicans have reached an agreement to raise the state and local tax (SALT) deduction to $40,000, resolving one of the final issues impeding Trump's economic bill. Following the release of the April trade statement, investors' "unconventional shift" away from traditional safe havens like the U.S. dollar and Treasury bonds may signal a "fundamental institutional change," increasing the risk of "broad-based shifts in global capital flows" that "could have far-reaching implications for the global financial system." After opening higher today, gold traded within a volatile range. Following a second retracement near $3,290, gold is again likely to test upward resistance. Overall, gold remains in a bullish channel, and barring a break below key support, the probability of continued upside remains high. For today's trading, consider prioritizing long positions on pullbacks as the primary strategy, with short positions at highs as a secondary approach. Monitor resistance at the $3,325-$3,350 level and support at the $3,290-$3,280 level. Trading Strategy: buy@3280-3290 TP:3310-3320 In the market, there are no absolutes, and neither upward nor downward trends are set in stone. Therefore, the ability to judge the balance between market gains and losses is your key to success. Let money become our loyal servant.

Gold Surge Driven by Multiple FactorsDuring the last trading day and into today’s Asian session, gold has been rising steadily, driven by several key factors, breaking out of the strong consolidation zone at $3,250, signaling the potential for continued rallies toward the next psychological level at $3,350. This move is further supported by rising geopolitical tensions and growing concerns over the U.S. fiscal deficit. Reports indicating that Israel may be planning to strike Iranian nuclear facilities have escalated tensions in the Middle East, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. Meanwhile, uncertainty remains over the Russia-Ukraine war, as both parties prepare for ceasefire talks. However, the U.S. is expected to take a more passive stance in the process, adding to the ambiguity. Lastly, concerns over the fragile state of U.S. fiscal health, compounded by the Federal Reserve’s cautious economic outlook and the recent U.S. credit rating adjustment by Moody’s -- which was a one-notch downgrade, have increased investor appetite for gold, reinforcing the yellow metal’s role as a safe haven asset in times of uncertainty.

Gold's short-term decline continues Gold opened high and fell yesterday. It briefly rose in the morning and then fell under pressure. It fluctuated below the resistance of $3252 throughout the day. The European and American markets tested $3250 several times without success, but the rebound momentum was weak, which was in line with the expected volatile trend. Today, it tested yesterday's low of $3206 again. If it breaks down after repeated tests, the decline may accelerate. Technical analysis Short-term trend: Bearish, pay attention to the triangle convergence break Gold prices are still in a state of volatility, and the short-term trend is bearish. The hourly line shows a triangle convergence pattern. If it falls below $3206, it may accelerate downward, and the target is the support area of ​​$3154-3120. If it rebounds, the key resistance above is $3222-3232, and the strong watershed is at $3240. A breakthrough may temporarily slow down the decline. Daily level: M head pattern is being constructed, beware of the risk of continued decline The recent rebound has failed to stabilize at $3250, and the probability of closing negative today is high. If it falls below $3120, the daily level large M head pattern is confirmed, and the downward target can be seen at $2956 (bottom of wave 4). Key support and resistance Resistance level: 3222-3232 (short-term), 3240 (watershed), 3252 (key for long and short) Support level: 3206 (yesterday's low), 3154 (previous low), 3120 (key break point) Trading strategy suggestions Short-term operation: If it rebounds to $3222-3232, you can try short orders, stop loss above $3240, and target $3190-3170. If the European session continues to be weak, the US session can consider a second short order, but be wary of possible rebound corrections after 22:00. Follow-up of the break: If $3206 is effectively broken, you can follow the trend and go short, with a target of $3154-3120. If it unexpectedly breaks through $3,252, short positions should be cautious, and the upward target is $3,286-3,322. Medium- and long-term outlook Although the short-term correction pressure is relatively large, the gold bull market pattern has not changed. The Fed's interest rate cut expectations and the weakening trend of the US dollar have not changed, and gold still has the potential to rise in the medium and long term. The current decline is a technical adjustment, aimed at correcting the overheated market sentiment after the abnormal surge in April. Although the correction is large, it is within the scope of normal correction. Conclusion: In the short term, gold is still dominated by shorts, and the focus is on the breakout of the $3,206-3,120 support area. If it breaks down, it may accelerate the bottoming out; on the contrary, if it stands above $3,250, the adjustment may come to an end. It is recommended to focus on rebounding high altitudes in trading, and pay attention to possible market washouts.
