GOLD DAILY CHART SHORT/MID TERM ROUTE MAPHey Everyone, Please see update on our daily chart idea that we have been tracking for a while with the updated retracement and swing range. Previously after completing 2690 target, we stated that we had a candle body close above 2690, opening 2725, as ema5 was still lagging and that we got the push up nicely but just short of the target, which remained open for last week. - This was hit last week completing this target!!! We now have a ema5 cross and lock above 2725 for a continuation above with a gap open to 2760. Failure to complete this gap will see price test the retracement range for bounces and a further lock below the retracement range will open the swing range. 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. Our long term bias is Bullish and therefore we will continue to use our smaller timeframes to buy dips using our levels and setups. Buying dips allows us to safely manage any swings rather then chasing the bull from the top. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it! Mr Gold GoldViewFX

The Pip Shift: Why Gold Traders Must Recalibrate SL and TPA few months back, I shared an article highlighting why fluctuations of 30 or 50 pips in Gold (XAU/USD) had minimal impact. At that time, I also predicted Gold’s potential to climb by 1,000 pips to $2,500. Fast forward to today, and Gold has not only crossed that mark but is nearing $2,750—a substantial increase that requires a fresh look at how we interpret pip values in today’s market. Why 100 Pips Today Isn’t What It Used to Be When Gold traded below $2,000, a 100-pip movement carried a specific weight in terms of impact and volatility. As prices rise, the pip value naturally adjusts in real terms. This means that what was a 100-pip fluctuation when Gold was at $1,800 is now effectively a 150-pip movement at $2,750. Proportionally, it’s the same value as before, but this shift has important implications for traders who need to recalibrate their stop-loss and take-profit orders accordingly. Translating Pip Fluctuations into Percentages To understand why this adjustment matters, let’s look at pip movements in percentage terms. When Gold traded at $1,800, a 100-pip fluctuation represented about 0.56% of the price. At $2,750, a 100-pip movement is about 0.36%—a significant reduction. If we want to maintain the same degree of responsiveness in our trades, the stop-loss should be scaled to approximately 150 pips, rather than sticking to a smaller value that might prematurely trigger stops or undershoot our profit potential. Adjusting Your Trading Strategy As Gold continues its upward trajectory, traders must recognize that pip values and fluctuations aren’t fixed in impact. Consider a scenario where Gold moves by 300 pips—when Gold was trading at $1,500, that would’ve been a 2% shift; now, it’s just around 1%. Being attuned to these changes helps traders avoid overly tight stop-losses, which can lead to premature exit, or take-profits that might cut gains short. In other words, risk management isn't just about setting numbers; it's about knowing the context of those numbers within market conditions. By aligning our strategies with current Gold levels, we’re better equipped to maintain consistent risk and reward ratios. Final Thoughts The Gold market's growth brings both new opportunities and a need for mindful adjustment in trading strategies. As pips become “cheaper” in percentage terms, setting stop-loss and take-profit orders based on percentage targets rather than fixed pip amounts is a more adaptive approach. With Gold’s ongoing climb, staying flexible and adjusting to the evolving pip value can help you remain resilient, even in volatile markets.

XAU ! 10/28 ! sideway move in trendlineXAU / USD trend forecast October 28, 2024 Gold price (XAU/USD) starts the new week with a slight bearish gap, unable to sustain Friday’s gains near $2,750. Persistent USD strength, supported by rising US Treasury yields and expectations of smaller Fed rate cuts, puts pressure on the metal. A positive risk sentiment also adds to the downward pull. However, safe-haven demand from Middle East tensions and US election uncertainty limits further downside for gold. Traders may remain cautious and hold off on strong bearish positions ahead of key US data this week, including Q3 GDP, the PCE Price Index, and the Nonfarm Payrolls report. On Monday, gold price moved sideways within 2 trendlines, waiting for NF news fluctuations this week. /// SELL XAU : zone 2743-2746 SL: 2751 TP: 50 - 200 - 300 pips (2716) Safe and profitable trading

GOLD 4H CHART ROUTE MAP & TRADING PLAN FOR THE WEEKHey Everyone, Please see our updated 4h chart levels and targets for the coming week, which we have been tracking and trading for the last two weeks and only updating the retracement and swing range, as we go on. Last week we stated that we had candle body close gap open to at 2737 on market open but needed ema5 cross and lock will further confirm this. - This played out last week perfectly and gave us the mea5 lock confirmation followed with the target hit. We also stated that we had a bearish target below at 2715. - This target a=was also completed last week We now have a candle body close above 2737 opening 2760 and ema5 cross and lock will further confirm and solidify this gap. We have support below at 2737 and weighted support at 2715. A break below the weighted support will open the range below otherwise we are likely to see bounces from these support levels. We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range. 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. BULLISH TARGET 2760 (EMA5 LOCK ABOVE 2737 WILL FURTHER CONFIRM THIS) POTENTIALLY 2779 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2779 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2797 POTENTIALLY 2814 BEARISH TARGETS 2737 2715 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2715 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE SWING RANGE 2693 - 2669 As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups.

WEEKLY CHART MID/LONG TERM ROUTE MAPHey Everyone, Please see update on our weekly chart idea that we have been tracking and trading over the last 4 weeks. Last week we stated that we had a candle body close gap open to 2729 for our long range AXIS TARGET. - This was hit this week completing the target perfectly!! We are now seeing a body close above 2729 leaving long range gap open to 2856. Ema5 lock will further confirm this long range target. We will also be keeping in mind the channel top for long range corrections, which is likely to provide support like we stated if tested at all. As stated before if the channel top continues to provide support then we will track the movement up, confirmed with ema5 cross and lock or candle body close. However, if we continue to see tests on the channel top and then get a break inside the channel, then we will track the movement down, inline with our plans to buy dips, using our smaller time-frames, keeping in mind the long range gap for the future.. Buying dips allows us to safely manage any swings, instead of chasing the bull from the top. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it! Mr Gold GoldViewFX

The Emotional Appeal of Gold: Is it Worth its Weight?Gold. The word alone carries a certain weight. For centuries, it has held a place not just in our vaults but in our hearts, symbolising wealth, power, and security. But why, in a world of ever-evolving financial markets and digital assets, does gold continue to hold such an emotional appeal for investors? And more importantly, what are the risks we may overlook? A History Wrapped in Emotion From ancient Egypt to the Roman Empire, gold was more than a precious metal—it was a status symbol, a sign of divine power. Civilisations believed it to be the stuff of the gods, a shimmering proof of stability. Fast forward to today, and we still see this ancient reverence playing out in modern investment decisions. There’s something psychological about gold. It doesn’t rust. It doesn’t degrade. It stands the test of time, both physically and emotionally. Investors, whether consciously or not, tap into this deep-rooted belief that gold is eternal, a safe haven that can withstand the chaos of the world. However, while gold may feel like a timeless asset, it’s crucial to acknowledge that its value fluctuates like any other investment. In times of calm or economic growth, gold often underperforms compared to riskier assets like equities. Investors seeking returns may find gold’s price stagnant or even declining during bull markets (past performance is not indicative of future results). The Comfort of Tangibility—But at What Cost? In a world increasingly dominated by invisible assets like cryptocurrencies and complex derivatives, gold offers something unique: tangibility. You can hold it, feel it, store it in a safe. There’s a psychological comfort in that—a sense of control that many investors crave, especially in times of uncertainty. But physical ownership comes with its own set of challenges. Storage and insurance costs can erode potential gains, and in some jurisdictions, tax implications can be significant when selling gold. While the emotional anchor of tangibility is appealing, investors must weigh the practical considerations, such as liquidity and costs, when opting for physical gold versus other forms like ETFs or mining stocks. Trust in Uncertainty—But Volatility Still Applies Gold’s appeal lies in its track record during turbulent times. When things get shaky—whether due to inflation, war, or economic crises—gold shines brightest. Historically, it has been seen as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Yet, while gold has traditionally performed well in uncertain environments, its price can still be subject to sharp drops. For instance, after the 2011 gold bubble, prices tumbled and took years to recover. Relying on gold as a ‘safe bet’ ignores its potential volatility, particularly when market conditions change abruptly. Gold’s Journey Through Time —A Chart Analysis To understand the emotional and financial significance of gold, a long-term price chart provides powerful context. Gold has had its moments of glory, but it has also experienced significant downturns. One of the first major spikes occurred during the 1970s inflation crisis , when rampant inflation eroded the value of paper currencies. But investors should note that gold also dropped sharply after inflation stabilised, reminding us that it is not immune to market corrections. Fast forward to the 2008 Financial Crisis : Gold became a beacon of security, with prices soaring. However, those who bought at the peak faced years of waiting for prices to return to those levels. The 2020 pandemic provided another powerful example of gold’s reliability, but by 2021, prices had cooled off as the global economy stabilised, once again highlighting gold's cyclical nature. Investors need to consider these fluctuations before placing full trust in gold’s stability. It may be seen as a ‘safe haven,’ but that doesn’t mean it’s free from risk. The Technical Setup: Stability in Volatility—But Patience Is Key From a technical analysis perspective, gold’s price chart often reflects its dual nature as both a stable asset and a volatile one. Long-term moving averages show gold’s upward trend, but the market also reveals periods of consolidation and sharp corrections. While technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) show sustained demand for gold, they also warn against overbuying during market euphoria. Investors looking at gold for long-term capital preservation must be prepared for periods where gold’s price may stagnate or decline—patience is key, and timing the market becomes crucial. A Safe Haven for All Seasons—But Not Without Drawbacks Gold has earned its reputation as a cyclical asset that investors turn to in times of crisis.However, relying solely on gold can expose portfolios to additional risks, such as liquidity issues, volatility, and opportunity costs. During periods of economic expansion, equities and other riskier assets might outperform gold, leaving those heavily invested in gold with limited gains. Furthermore, gold’s correlation with inflation and interest rates isn’t perfect. In some high-interest rate environments, gold may underperform as other income-generating assets become more attractive. As such, it’s essential for investors to view gold as part of a diversified strategy rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. Conclusion: Gold Is More Than Metal—But It’s Not Without Risk While modern investors may seek higher yields or exciting potential, gold remains unique in its emotional and cultural significance. It’s not just about the price per ounce—it’s about trust, security, and the timeless allure that makes it more than just metal in the eyes of investors. However, despite its long history and emotional appeal, gold is not a risk-free asset. Investors must approach it with a balanced view, recognising both its benefits as a safe haven and its limitations in terms of price volatility and opportunity cost. Gold, quite simply, feels safe—but feeling safe doesn’t always guarantee financial security. In the volatile world of finance, the emotional connection to gold is worth acknowledging, but investors must stay grounded in the risks that come with this timeless asset.

Gold trading, make money with meGold is in the Bollinger Band range and fluctuates sideways for 4 hours. As the saying goes, it gets colder at high places. Since the bull market has been slow to reach new highs, gold opened low in the morning. There was a rebound and rise during the period, but the highest rebound to 2744 just barely filled the gap of the low opening. Then the short-term continued to fall, indicating that the bulls’ counterattack was weak. The current market will be dominated by the short side, and our operating strategy is the same. The idea will be mainly high-altitude tonight! The short-term focus on the upper side is the 2743-2744 resistance line, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 2717-2715 support line.

XAUUSD - Profit Taking as per usual by NY The recent drop in gold appears to be a classic profit-taking move by algorithms using the latest economic data as a justification to temporarily drive prices lower. Despite some stronger U.S. data, nothing has fundamentally shifted in terms of gold’s long-term outlook. Fundamental Justification: Inflation Stability: Core inflation indicators remain steady, reinforcing gold’s appeal as a hedge against inflation. Interest Rate Expectations: The Federal Reserve is expected to hold rates steady, with markets leaning toward potential rate cuts next year, which is typically bullish for gold. Global Uncertainty: Persistent geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties still make gold attractive as a safe haven. In essence, the recent pullback is more about short-term positioning rather than a change in the fundamental landscape for gold, keeping the overall bullish view intact with $2,790 as a reasonable upside target. Target: Given the previous high of $2,790, we should expect a return to this level as per usuual. Breakdown: Fundamentals: 85/100 – Supportive due to inflation concerns, steady rates, and safe-haven appeal amidst global uncertainties. Technical Outlook: 75/100 – Some short-term selling pressure, but the trend remains positive with a high likelihood of retesting previous highs. The score reflects strong underlying bullish support with a high probability of a return to previous levels, though some short-term volatility from profit-taking will obviously persist.

GOLD heads up into $ 2,700: long term target and possible "Top"Follow-up to my previous $2700 call (click). The uptrend has continued exactly as "expected". We are now approaching a "natural endpoint". Natural as in a Wave 5 that does not "extend". Even if 2700 is not the top, expect a pullback. Commodities are known for extended wave 5s. So very possible we go higher after a dip maybe. $ 2695.15 is a Golden Genesis fib, a BIG deal. $ 2710.21 is a local Golden and Wave ender. $ 2762.41 is the medium-term Wave ender. =========================================== .

GOLD IS GOING TO MAKE NEW HIGH PEAK??Gold prices may increase next week due to concerns about Israel's attack on Iran, but if Iran does not respond gold prices may decrease slightly. In addition, important economic data will be released, especially the non-farm payrolls (NFP) report. Information about the US Personal Consumption Expenditure Index (PCE) also attracts attention, because high inflation and a weak labor market may cause the FED to only cut interest rates by 25 basis points this month. next. This can create profit-taking pressure, negatively affecting gold prices. Technically, from a short-term perspective on the H1 chart, the gold price still shows an uptrend when the price is above the EMA89 moving average. Next week, if the gold price trades above the 2720 threshold, we can expect the price to continue to conquer the round resistance level of 2800. In case the support level of 2710 is broken, the immediate gold price will decrease and adjust to around the 2680 mark- SETUP TO TRADE ✨ SELL GOLD PRICE 2801-2799 Stoploss 2805 BUY GOLD PRICE 2679-2681 Stoploss 2675 Hope this will helpfull for u have a Good weekend"💞

Little more upside for goldHi traders, Last week XAUUSD did exactly what I've said in my outlook. After a small correction it continued up again. For next week we could see the continuation of the leg up to finish the impulsive leg wave 3 (blue). Let's see what price does and react. Trade idea: Wait for a (small) correction down on a lower timeframe to trade (short term) longs. If you want to learn more about trading with ICT/ SMC concepts and wave analysis, please make sure to follow me, give a like and respectful comment. This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my analysis. I do not provide signals. Don't be emotional, just trade! Eduwave

is gold repeating its formation in its uptrend ?is gold repeating its formation in its uptrend ? dating back from august we can see that gold likes to hold this formation in the channel that after a break out of trend line, gold will hold its price for a couple of days and have fake out of rise before dropping to the bottom of its channel.. with the week packed with news events and the upcoming elections, my analysis is that gold holds it range of 2745-2760 before we see bearish momentum to the downside. if you are struggling trading this metal there is free advice on my profile. happy trading

Gold's Bullish Momentum: Key Levels and TargetsGold prices remain in an uptrend, with continued bullish momentum expected as long as prices hold above the key support level of $2,710. Traders who aren’t already positioned may look to enter on pullbacks around $2,732 to optimize their risk-to-reward ratio. Near-term upside targets for gold are set at $2,757, with a secondary target at $2,780, in line with the recent all-time highs. Ongoing rate cuts from central banks, Trump's potential inflation-driven policies, and tensions in the Middle East support this bullish outlook.

XAUUSD : Gold price reverses Gold prices have taken a significant plunge, dropping $40.6 to $2,747.5 per ounce. This sharp dip comes as investors take profits after the recent strong rally. However, despite the drop, gold still managed to notch its fourth consecutive month of gains thanks to sustained safe-haven demand. From a personal perspective, it’s likely that gold is entering a consolidation phase. It’s not surprising to see traders cashing in as several upcoming events could impact gold's trajectory, including the U.S. elections and the Federal Reserve meeting. Still, underlying drivers like geopolitical tensions and uncertainties surrounding the election outcome continue to fuel demand for gold, keeping the market in a “buy-the-dip” mode.

What is Confluence ?✅ Confluence refers to any circumstance where you see multiple trade signals lining up on your charts and telling you to take a trade. Usually these are technical indicators, though sometimes they may be price patterns. It all depends on what you use to plan your trades. A lot of traders fill their charts with dozens of indicators for this reason. They want to find confluence — but oftentimes the result is conflicting signals. This can cause a lapse of confidence and a great deal of confusion. Some traders add more and more signals the less confident they get, and continue to make the problem worse for themselves. ✅ Confluence is very important to increase the chances of winning trades, a trader needs to have at least two factors of confluence to open a trade. When the confluence exists, the trader becomes more confident on his negotiations. ✅ The Factors Of Confluence Are: Higher Time Frame Analysis; Trade during London Open; Trade during New York Open; Refine Higher Time Frame key levels in Lower Time Frame entries; Combine setups; Trade during High Impact News Events. ✅ Refine HTF key levels in LTF entries or setups for confirmation that the HTF analysis will hold the price. HTF Key Levels Are: HTF Order Blocks; HTF Liquidity Pools; HTF Market Structure.

XAUUSD: Wait for a drop before rising, target 2800Yesterday, Wednesday, the United States released the October "small non-farm" data. The ADP employment in October recorded 233,000, the largest increase since July 2023. These figures are contrary to expectations of economic slowdown after the Boeing employee strike in October and the two brutal hurricanes and attacks on the US East Coast ports. The subsequent release of the US third quarter real GDP annualized growth rate recorded 2.8%, lower than the expected and previous value of 3%. Consumer spending, which accounts for the largest share of economic activity, increased by 3.7%, the largest increase since the beginning of 2023. At the same time, data from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis showed that the initial value of the annualized quarterly rate of the core PCE price index in the third quarter of the United States rose by 2.2%, roughly in line with the Fed's goals. Spot gold continued to hit a record high, hitting the $2,790 mark during the day, but failed to get above this level. From the current point of view, 2,790 is very likely not the high point of gold, but the risk of retracement also needs to be considered. Therefore, we can't blindly be bullish, but need to wait for a retracement before considering buying
