Will the Market Continue to Sink or Rebound?Gold Price Volatility: Will the Market Continue to Sink or Rebound? 💥 Market Outlook: Today’s market is seeing unpredictable movements, with gold making significant drops and then rebounding sharply in the last two days. Are the recent news developments aligning with the price action, or is it just a major coincidence? 🔍 Technical Analysis: Looking at the D1 and H4 charts, you can clearly see the breakdown, but gold quickly bounced back to the 325x area and reacted. The 3254–3256 zone is a key level that holds strong for sellers on both daily and H4 candles. If gold continues to hold below this level, the bearish trend remains strong, and another sharp drop could happen before the weekend. If the 3254–3256 level is broken, the price may push toward the 327x, possibly even the 328x levels. However, this will be dependent on whether this critical support is maintained. Trend Continuation or Reversal? From a technical perspective, gold is still in a downtrend, and the current bounce is likely just a retracement before continuing lower. However, in terms of macro news, the USD is continuously dealing with bad inflation data, affecting the recovery of DXY (USD). The market is very sensitive to trap candles, and there may be false breakouts, so proceed cautiously. There are also some news reports indicating that the US and China have reached a minor détente, but tensions remain around trade restrictions, imports, exports, and the use of rare earth minerals. Things are unpredictable with these two powers. Today, there are updates on tariffs, so keep an eye out! 📊 Key Resistance Levels: 3237 3251 3261 3276 3287 📉 Key Support Levels: 3205 3188 3170 3143 🎯 Trading Plan: 🔵 BUY SCALP: Entry: 3172 – 3170 SL: 3166 TP: 3176 → 3180 → 3184 → 3188 → 3192 → 3196 → 3200 🔵 BUY ZONE: Entry: 3142 – 3140 SL: 3136 TP: 3146 → 3150 → 3154 → 3158 → 3162 → 3170 → 3180 → 3190 🔴 SELL SCALP: Entry: 3160 – 3162 SL: 3166 TP: 3156 → 3152 → 3148 → 3144 → 3140 → 3130 → 3120 🔴 SELL ZONE: Entry: 3276 – 3278 SL: 3282 TP: 3272 → 3268 → 3264 → 3260 → 3255 → 3250 → 3240 ⚠️ Risk Management: With strong volatility today, manage your risk carefully. It’s essential to adhere to your TP/SL to protect your account. Stay cautious, as there is a lot of unpredictability in the market with the upcoming news. Conclusion: Given the unpredictability of the market and geopolitical tensions, it’s wise to trade with caution today. Watch the critical support and resistance levels closely and stay flexible, adapting your strategy based on how the market evolves. 📣 Stay tuned for more updates and trade smart!

Gold Trade plan 13/05/2025Dear Traders, It seems that the price is approaching the middle of its descending channel. The 3270–3300 zone is an important area for gold. In case of a fake breakout or rejection, the price could drop to the 3140–3150 zone. I’m waiting for a confirmation candle to enter a position in that area. If you enjoyed this forecast, please show your support with a like and comment. Your feedback is what drives me to keep creating valuable content." Regards, Alireza

Is the V-shaped rebound of gold a lure to buy or a reversal?At the daily level, gold is still in a high-level oscillation pattern. The previous second wave of decline target has not been fully realized, and it is difficult to confirm a reversal after a rebound of more than 70 points. On the hourly chart, after the low point of 3120, it presents a slow rise pattern. This structure is usually accompanied by gradual adjustments, and it is not advisable to speculate on the top too early. At present, the short-term support of gold is focused on the 3200-3205 area, and the resistance is at 3255-3260.

XAUUSD: Potential Rebound at Key Point in Ascending ChannelOANDA:XAUUSD is likely undergoing a corrective move as it tests the lower boundary of the ascending channel, as shown on my chart. This boundary acts as dynamic trendline support, and a significant bullish reaction may occur if buyers step in at this level. A successful rebound from this support could lead to a move towards the midline of the channel, with the most reasonable target in this setup being $3,450. This scenario would maintain the overall bullish trend structure. As long as the price remains above this support zone, the bullish outlook remains intact. However, a clear break below the trendline support would weaken the bullish outlook and could lead to the next downward trend. One of the main factors driving the recent downward momentum in gold prices is the positive developments in trade relations between the U.S. and China. This has increased investor confidence in risk assets such as stocks, causing gold—traditionally seen as a “safe-haven asset”—to lose its appeal. Despite the decline, analysts have raised their projections that gold’s losses in the final session of this week will be limited, supported by rising expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates, following recent inflation and economic data. Reports released this week show that inflation in the U.S. unexpectedly declined, while the economy is showing signs of weakening. This has led investors to expect the Fed to begin cutting interest rates later this year. Currently, the market is forecasting two rate cuts in 2025, with the first expected at the September meeting.

XAUUSD-Bearish Setup Within Descending ChannelHello, traders This chart of XAU/USD (Gold Spot) on the 4-hour timeframe shows a clear descending channel, indicating a bearish trend. Price is currently near the upper boundary of the channel, around a previous support-turned-resistance zone. The chart suggests waiting for bearish confirmation before entering a short position. Key observations: Price has failed to break above resistance and is showing signs of rejection. A bearish confirmation (e.g., strong bearish candle or lower high) could signal continuation toward the lower boundary of the channel. The target is around 3151, aligning with the channel's support and a previous demand level. In summary: the bias is bearish, and traders are advised to wait for confirmation before shorting, with a target near 3151. TP1: 3,200 – Near recent minor support, useful for partial profit-taking. TP2: 3,151 – Main target shown on the chart, aligned with the lower boundary of the descending channel and a strong previous support zone. You could also trail your stop after TP1 to lock in profits if price continues to move lower.

We started with our Bullish target hit at 3282, followed with ema5 cross and lock opening 3343, which was hit perfectly. We then got ema5 cross and lock above 3342 opening 3404, also got completed.

Gold's V-shaped reversal restarts its upward trend!Technical analysis of gold: Gold has a perfect V-shaped reversal today. It opened at 3177 and fell unilaterally in the Asian session. After touching 3120, it rose slowly. As of the time of writing, it has completely recovered its decline and is currently trading around 3220. I have analyzed the European session. After the gold price broke through the extreme drop of 3200, it needs to be repaired, but it has taken another rebound correction. The analysis also gave attention to 3198 to 3202 to continue to be bearish. With the slow rise and break, the bearish view is invalid. Now make a new analysis. ​ From a technical point of view, gold is now back above 3200, and the daily line is a big positive. It is undoubtedly absolutely strong. The key point is the gains and losses of 3200. If the retracement does not exceed 3200, then gold is extremely strong. On Friday, we will continue to see the daily line closing positive rise, but if the retracement is below 3200, the daily line cycle may close again, and there will be a continuous rebound to 3235 and 3260. Therefore, the key point today is to pay attention to the gains and losses of 3200. The performance of the 4-hour cycle may now bottom out in the medium term. After the decline and rebound, the 4-hour mid-term Bollinger opening is temporarily strong, but if the US market rebounds continuously and stands firm at 3200, there will be a continuous positive pattern at the bottom, breaking the 5-day and 10-day moving averages, then there is a great possibility that it will go to 3235. Therefore, gold in the late trading should not be inertially bearish because of the decline on Wednesday. Even if it is bearish, it is necessary to observe the gains and losses of 3200. As for trading, first pay attention to 3200 below and try to buy, and see if 3230 breaks and 3250 breaks. On the whole, today's short-term operation of gold suggests that callbacks should be the main focus, and rebound shorts should be supplemented. The top short-term focus is on the first-line resistance of 3250-365, and the bottom short-term focus is on the first-line support of 3193-3200. All friends must keep up with the rhythm.

Gold's short-term rebound is weakAt the daily level, the Bollinger Bands are closing and flattening, and the 5-day moving average and the 10-day moving average are entangled near the middle track. The current price is running below the middle track, and the 5-day moving average has turned downward. The technical side shows that the current gold price is fluctuating and bearish, and the MACD has crossed at a high level. The red column continues to shrink. Intraday operations should focus on high-altitude thinking. Pay attention to the 10-day moving average and the middle track 3250-60 area resistance on the top, and pay attention to the support near the lower track of US$3200 on the bottom. At the 4-hour level, the current downward trend of shock is more obvious, and the shape is a step-down. Ma5 and Ma10 are glued together and cross below 66ma. MACD death cross is combined with green column volume, and the overall idea of ​​falling back and adjusting is maintained. The 1-hour moving average is still a downward short arrangement. After gold jumped down and opened, there is a large gap. Gold rebounded weakly and continued to fall. It will be difficult to cover the losses in the short term, and it will be covered in the process of roundabouts in the future market.
