XAU/USD Elliott Wave Count: Preparing for Final ImpulseXAU/USD appears to be in a textbook 5-wave impulsive structure on the 4H chart, with the market now completing Wave 4 as a classic ABC corrective flat/pennant. The impulsive move from the Wave 2 low has formed clear internal substructures, with Wave 3 exhibiting extended price action, consistent with Elliott Wave guidelines. Currently, price is consolidating in a contracting pattern labeled Wave 4 (A-B-C), which looks to be near completion. Based on wave symmetry and Fibonacci projections, a strong upside move is anticipated once Wave 4 concludes, leading into the final Wave 5 rally. Entry Zone: 3286.875 Target: 3367.440– 3410.210 Stop Loss: Below 3260.190.

Correction down for goldHi traders, Gold went a little more up (finish grey wave 3) and after that the bigger correction for (grey) wave 4 started just as I've said last week. For next week we wait for the finish of the correction (Zigzag or Triangle) and after that we could trade longs again. Let's see what price does and react. Trade idea: Wait for the correction to finish and a change in orderflow to bullish to trade longs again. If you want to learn more about trading FVG's & liquidity sweeps with wave analysis, please make sure to follow me. This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my technical analysis. Don't be emotional, just trade your plan! Eduwave

Gold Drops $200 in Hours – Panic or Opportunity? 📌 Gold Plunges $200 – Volatility Surges Amid Fed Signals and Market Panic 🔥📉 📰 What Just Happened? Yesterday, gold (XAU/USD) experienced one of its sharpest intraday drops in recent months, tumbling from the all-time high around $3,500 to as low as $3,318, losing nearly $200 in just a few hours. This marked a significant correction following an extended bullish trend. 🔍 Key Drivers Behind the Crash Fed-related commentary spurred aggressive profit-taking across the market. The USD staged a technical rebound, exerting downward pressure on gold. Rapid sentiment shifts triggered panic selling and liquidation flows. 🧭 What’s Next for Gold? The $3,300–3,320 zone is now a crucial support — if this level holds, a technical recovery could unfold. However, a break below $3,300 may expose gold to deeper downside targets near $3,250. ⚠️ Strategic Considerations This is a high-volatility environment — flexibility and strict risk management are key. Current sentiment is fragile. Unpredictable political headlines and mixed Fed signals are adding to the uncertainty. In the latest development, Trump clarified he has no intention to fire the Fed Chair and hinted that China’s tariffs could be eased slightly — but not eliminated. These mixed messages continue to create sharp swings in price. 📊 Trade Plan 🔻 SELL ZONE #1: Entry: 3,378 – 3,380 Stop Loss: 3,384 Take Profits: 3,374 → 3,370 → 3,366 → 3,362 → 3,358 → 3,350 🔻 SELL ZONE #2: Entry: 3,408 – 3,410 Stop Loss: 3,414 Take Profits: 3,404 → 3,400 → 3,396 → 3,392 → 3,386 → 3,380 🟢 BUY ZONE: Entry: 3,292 – 3,290 Stop Loss: 3,286 Take Profits: 3,296 → 3,300 → 3,304 → 3,308 → 3,312 → 3,316 → 3,320 The priority remains to sell into rallies near resistance while the downtrend unfolds. All trades should be protected with tight stop-losses, given the current unpredictability. 🧠 Key Takeaways This is not a market for guessing — wait for price confirmation at key zones. Focus on reaction zones, not forecasts. Stay light, stay nimble, and manage risk carefully — news-driven volatility is at its peak. 💬 How are you positioning in this volatile gold market? Waiting for the bounce or selling the rallies? Let us know below! 👇👇👇

Breakout Watch: Triangle Apex Test Near $3,300Gold is approaching the apex of a symmetrical triangle on the 30-min chart, with price testing both the descending resistance and the ascending support trendline. This compression near the Fib 0.618–0.5 zone ($3,289–$3,226) suggests an imminent move. Key levels: Resistance: $3,300 (breakout trigger), $3,340, $3,380 (Fib 0.786) Support: $3,260 (trendline), $3,226 (Fib 0.5), $3,162 (Fib 0.382) RSI is rising off oversold (47), and volume is low — typical pre-breakout behavior. A confirmed breakout above $3,300 could accelerate bullish momentum toward ATH levels. Breakdown below $3,226 invalidates the structure. Watching for volatility surge within next 24 hours.

Gold's Trend and Trading Strategy for Next WeekLast week, the price of gold sharply declined after hitting the resistance level of $3,500, dropping to around $3,260 at its lowest point. The weekly chart closed with a bearish inverted hammer candlestick pattern, suggesting a sharp short-term downward momentum. However, on Friday evening, the gold price rebounded near the support level of $3,260 and regained the $3,300 mark. Combining the current fundamental and news-driven analysis, gold remains in an overall upward trend: Technical Analysis Although the weekly inverted hammer pattern indicates selling pressure at higher levels, the rapid rebound from the bottom to reclaim the key $3,300 level signals the persistence of bullish momentum. If the short-term decline fails to effectively break below the strong support at $3,250, the gold price has the potential for a rebound. Trading Strategy Next week, it is recommended to adopt a bullish bias and focus on long positions. Consider entering near $3,283, with a stop-loss set below $3,260. The upper resistance levels are sequentially $3,331 (short-term resistance) and $3,370 (target after breakthrough). Risk Warning Be vigilant against shocks to gold prices from sudden geopolitical news or changes in Federal Reserve policy expectations, and strictly control position sizing and stop-loss levels. I hope this strategy will be helpful to you. When you find yourself in a difficult situation and at a loss in trading, don't face it alone. Please get in touch with me. I'm always ready to fight side by side with you, avoid risks, and embark on a new journey towards stable profits.

Gold Analysis – New Leg of Correction Incoming?It’s been a “special” week for Gold, with wild swings that kept me mostly on the sidelines – except for Monday’s take profit. Now, however, the market is starting to show more clarity. ❓ Has the Market Topped Out? After a dip to 3260, the price reversed sharply, gaining over 1,000 pips to reach 3367. Yet, both recent attempts to push higher were rejected. Now, with the spike from 3360 to 3500 looking like a blow-off top, the stage seems set for a new leg of correction. 🔍 Key Technical Signs: • Heavy selling pressure near recent highs. • Price action suggests buyers are exhausted. • 3370 becomes a key resistance – as long as it holds, bearish setups are favored. 📉 Trading Plan: My approach is simple: 👉 Sell rallies 🎯 Target: a 1,000+ pip drop if 3370 remains intact.

Dealing with Stress in Trading: The Silent Killer of PerformanceTrading is hard. But not just technically or economically — emotionally, it's one of the most demanding things you can do. Charts, indicators, news, setups — they’re all part of the job. But behind every click, there’s a person reacting to fear, frustration, regret, and pressure. And that’s where stress creeps in. In this article, we’ll explore: • Why trading stress hits harder than most think • How it manifests (and sabotages) your decisions • Practical ways to reduce and manage stress • The mindset shift that changes everything ________________________________________ 🔥 Why Trading Is Uniquely Stressful Most jobs reward consistency. Trading, ironically, punishes it at times. You can do everything “right” and still lose money. You can follow your plan, manage risk, and still watch a red candle wipe your equity. The problem? Our brains aren’t built for that kind of randomness. We crave cause-effect logic — but markets aren't and most of all don’t care. This disconnect creates cognitive dissonance . The result? Stress builds up. ________________________________________ 🧠 How Stress Sabotages Traders (Without Them Realizing) Stress doesn’t always show up as panic. More often, it shows up as: • Overtrading (trying to ‘fix’ bad trades emotionally) • Freezing (not taking good setups out of fear) • Revenge trading (turning a bad trade into a disaster) • Inconsistency (changing strategy mid-week, mid-trade, mid-breath) • Physical symptoms (fatigue, headaches, insomnia — yes, it's real) Left unchecked, stress creates a loop: Stress → bad trades → more stress → worse decisions. ________________________________________ 🛠️ Practical Techniques to Manage Trading Stress Here’s what actually helps — not the Instagram-fluff, but what real traders use: 1. Create Pre-Defined Trade Plans Stress loves uncertainty. But when you enter a trade with exact entries, stops, and targets, you leave less room for panic-based decisions. ✅ Pro tip: Write your trade plan down. Don’t trade from memory. ________________________________________ 2. Use the 3-Strike Rule If you take 3 consecutive losses or bad trades — stop for the day, or if you are a swing trader, stop for the week, come back on Monday. It’s not about revenge. It’s about protecting mental capital. “When in doubt, protect your focus. You can’t trade well without it.” ________________________________________ 3. Build a Trading Routine (Like a Ritual) Start each session the same way. Same coffee, same chart review, same breathing. Why? It anchors your brain. Predictability in your environment reduces the emotional chaos inside your head. ________________________________________ 4. Step Away from the Screen (Yes, Physically) After a tough trade, move. Walk. Stretch. Get outside. Go to gym, ride your bike(these I do most often). Reset your nervous system. Trading is mental, but stress is physical too. You’re not a robot. Don't act like one. ________________________________________ 5. Track Your Emotional State (Not Just P&L) Keep a trading journal where you note how you felt before/after trades. You’ll find patterns like: • “I lose when I’m bored and looking for action” • “My best trades happen when I feel calm and centered” Awareness = control. ________________________________________ 🧭 The Mindset Shift: From Outcome to Process This might be the most important thing I’ll ever tell you: Detach from results. Fall in love with process. Your goal isn’t to win every trade. Your goal is to execute your plan with discipline. Every time you do that — even on a losing trade — you’re winning the real game. That’s how stress stops being the master and becomes the servant. ________________________________________ 🧘 Final Thought: Stress Will Never Go Away — and That’s Okay You’ll always feel something. But the goal isn’t to be emotionless — it’s to be aware and in control. Trading is like martial arts: the best fighters aren’t calm because they feel nothing. They’re calm because they’ve trained their response. So train yours. ________________________________________ 💬 Remember, consistency in mindset creates consistency in results.

What is gold waiting for? Stuck in the 3300 area⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold price (XAU/USD) fails to build on Monday’s rebound from the key $3,265–$3,260 support zone, encountering renewed selling pressure during the Asian session on Tuesday. Although signals from the US and China remain mixed, investor sentiment remains buoyed by hopes of a potential easing in trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies. Additionally, signs of advancement in tariff negotiations have further bolstered optimism, dampening the appeal of the safe-haven metal. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Gold price needs to be boosted by economic news to break out of the sideways price range around 3300, continue to wait today around 3300 ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone : 3366- 3368 SL 3373 TP1: $3350 TP2: $3340 TP3: $3330 🔥BUY GOLD zone: $3267 - $3265 SL $3260 TP1: $3280 TP2: $3300 TP3: $3318 🔥BUY GOLD zone: $3301 - $3299 SL $3296 scalping TP1: $3305 TP2: $3310 TP3: $3320 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable SELL order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

DeGRAM | GOLD Reached the Support📊 Technical Analysis Gold’s false pop above $3 500 reversed into a falling wedge; price slipped through $3 430 and is now testing the support level at $3 315 (channel base + trend-line). Holding this pivot preserves the rising channel and favors a rebound toward $3 500 – 3 520. 💡 Fundamental Analysis Central-bank demand stays brisk (333 t Q4-24; PBoC buying streak now 5 mths). Fed pause, softer real yields and a 3-yr-low USD cut carry costs. IMF warns tariff risks could chill growth, boosting hedge bids. ✨ Summary A hold above $3 315 could launch XAU/USD back to $3 500+, with $3 520 on a clean breakout. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with a like.

Gold fluctuates and the trend is bearish!The rise and fall of gold is not based on technical aspects, but more on fundamentals and big data, as well as the impact of tariffs. Without these influences, we are bearish this week. If the decline of the big C wave continues, the target will be 3230. 3165 is the Fibonacci 61.8 position of the callback and also the previous high point, which is easy to form a rebound. Gold focuses on two major suppressions, one is the hourly suppression around 3300, and the other is 3315 and 3328, both of which are opportunities for air forces. In terms of the short-term operation of gold, it is recommended to short on rebounds and long on callbacks. The short-term focus on the upper side is 3298-3300 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 3265-3260 support.

Gold is still Strong; Long-Term!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. 📈GOLD has been overall bullish from a macro perspective trading within the rising wedge pattern in orange. After rejecting the $3,500 round number and upper bound of the wedge, XAUUSD signaled the start of the correction phase. Moreover, the $3,100 - $3,150 zone is a strong support. 🏹 Thus, the highlighted blue circle is a strong area to look for buy setups as it is the intersection of support and lower orange trendline acting non-horizontal support. 📚 As per my trading style: As #XAUUSD approaches the blue circle zone, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...) 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck! All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich Disclosure: I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

GOLD - Price can make correction and then continue to growHi guys, this is my overview for XAUUSD, feel free to check it and write your feedback in comments👊 Price broke out from the lower wedge line and started climbing with confidence, building momentum step by step. After bouncing off the $3215 zone, it pushed higher and touched the wedge resistance without major rejection. The current candle formation shows signs of slowing down, hinting at a possible short-term pullback ahead. Despite that, the structure remains bullish, and buyers are likely to defend local support if the price dips slightly. With the breakout zones holding firm, I expect Gold to make a correction and then resume the upward path. My target is set at $3500, where the upper wedge boundary might once again act as key resistance. If this post is useful to you, you can support me with like/boost and advice in comments❤️

XAUUSD – Weekly Outlook (April 28 – May 3)XAUUSD – Weekly Outlook (April 28 – May 3) Current Structure: Massive bullish momentum intact — we are still climbing into extreme premium territory. Price has broken all previous structure highs and is trading well above the last known CHoCH (confirmed weekly bullish flow). Current Weekly candle is showing minor exhaustion but no clear reversal confirmation yet. Key Weekly Observations: Premium Zone: 3350–3500 → extreme overbought territory, where distribution/reversal could begin forming. Immediate Support: 3110–3150 → previous major liquidity grab + breakout area (could act as reaccumulation if retested). Unmitigated Zones Below: ~2900–2950 → old FVG left behind (possible bounce if deeper correction happens). Strong demand clusters still much lower, around 2050–2100 (only relevant if a major cycle shift occurs). Liquidity and Flow: Liquidity has been swept above all major highs — now hunting for fresh liquidity pools either at extreme highs (above 3350) or deeper below (below 3200). Strong liquidity vacuum between 3280 and 3150 zones if a weekly rejection happens. Bias: Still bullish but hyper-extended — smart money will likely start hunting liquidity pockets on both sides soon. Watching for early signs of weekly exhaustion or topping (large wicks, strong engulfing candle). ✅ Weekly Bias: Cautious bullish, watching for early topping patterns ✅ Key Levels to Watch: 3350–3500 (resistance), 3150–3110 (support) 🌟 Final Note for the Community: We’re flying at premium altitudes — but don’t get drunk on heights! 🛫 Stay sharp, stay humble. Gold doesn’t ask, it takes. Let’s keep mastering the game, one sniper move at a time. 👉 Follow, like, and comment your outlook — let’s grow this smart community together! 🚀✨ #Gold #XAUUSD #SmartMoney #WeeklyOutlook

Bears are brewing, and gold will fall sharply! For gold now, since it is basically oscillating in the large range of 3260-3370, the overall trend is oscillating downward, the highs are constantly moving down, and the lows are tested many times. The more tests are made, the greater the probability of a downward breakthrough. Therefore, the continuity of the rebound is not strong. At present, the entire European session basically maintains a weak consolidation at a low level. This trend means that the US session may still have room for decline. Today is different from yesterday. Before the US session yesterday, there was a continuous upward rebound, and the intraday market was somewhat resistant to decline, so the US session is expected to rebound more. However, today's intraday is basically maintaining a weak decline, the rebound is not strong, and the hourly line has fallen more than rising, highlighting that the US session is still falling. As for the position selection, it is still not recommended to chase the short. If it can give the European session high of 3323-3324, it can still continue to be short. The support below is 3287-3270. If it falls below the low of 3260, then pay attention to the top and bottom conversion position of 3245.
