XAUUSD trade ideas
Continuation sell off or Potential reversal? BUY/SELL MUST WETechnical Context (1H Chart Analysis):
Market structure is currently bearish on the 1H, with lower highs and lower lows.
Price is forming a potential short-term bottom near $3,220–$3,225, with some sideways consolidation, possibly a base for a bounce.
A key level to watch is the previous breakdown level around $3,260, which could act as resistance.
Trade Idea: Short-Term Buy (Intraday Bounce)
📥 Entry (Buy Market/Limit):
$3,225 (current consolidation zone)
🛑 Stop Loss:
$3,208 (below the recent low and liquidity sweep zone)
🎯 Take Profit Targets:
TP1: $3,248 (minor intraday resistance)
TP2: $3,260 (previous structure support turned resistance)
📊 Risk:Reward:
Risk: 17 points
Reward: 23–35 points
R:R Ratio: ~1.35 to 2.0
📉 Alternate Trade (If Price Rejects and Breaks Lower)
If we see a strong bearish candle close below $3,208, consider:
🔻 Sell Entry: $3,205
SL: $3,230
TP: $3,160 (clean support zone + high-volume node)
📏 Position Sizing Example:
For a $10,000 account risking 1% ($100), with 1 point = $1 per 0.01 lot:
Stop: 17 points → $100 / 17 = ~$5.88 per point → ~0.06 lots
Continue to short gold after the reboundFundamentals:
The positive signals from the China-US negotiations have eased the market's concerns about the US economic recession, and the weakening of risk aversion has stimulated a sharp pullback in gold. Market funds are no longer eager to seek safe-haven assets, so they withdraw their funds from gold and turn to risk markets.
Technical aspects:
The gold price plummeted by $110 during the day. Although it has rebounded slightly at present, the overall rebound momentum is relatively weak. The upper 3280-3290 area is currently the main short-term suppression level, followed by the 3240-3250 area. If the rebound in this area is not broken, you can continue to short gold, and the shorts may continue to reach new lows; focus on the support of the 3200 mark below. If 3200 is not broken, then the bulls may try to counterattack and fill the upper gap; if gold falls below 3200, gold will continue to fall to the area around 3170.
Trading strategy:
1. Consider shorting gold after it rebounds to the 3245-3255 area, TP: 3220
2. Consider going long on gold after it continues to fall to the 3180-3170 area, TP: 3220;
3. If gold stabilizes above 3200, we can consider going long on gold around 3200 in advance.

Gold falls below 3200, continues to look at 3100
📌 Driving factors
As Sino-US trade tensions ease, market concerns about a global recession ease, investors' risk appetite rises, and gold's attractiveness as a safe-haven asset declines, gold prices fell on Wednesday (May 14). After the tariff truce announced over the weekend, the stock market rose sharply, weakening gold's safe-haven appeal in the short term, which was an important factor that pushed gold prices to new highs in the previous few months, and it is also the starting point for the current large-scale selling!
📊Commentary Analysis
The price trend of gold on Tuesday showed a significant repeated shock feature. Although it ended up rising, it experienced two tortuous processes of first falling and then rising in the process, which led to a relatively limited overall increase. After the previous day's correction, the current 5-day moving average and the 10-day moving average formed a dead cross and continued to extend downward. From the perspective of intraday trading, the resistance level formed by these two moving averages has become the focus of market attention.
In the morning article, I repeatedly emphasized that gold is expected to break below 3200. Sure enough, it broke below without hesitation today. It is currently at 3185. The short position of gold near 3250 that we gave yesterday has expanded its profit again today, and it is easy to make a profit of nearly 100 points. Today, the US market operation is still mainly shorting, and it can continue to short near the rebound of 3200.
💰Strategy Package
Today, the US market operation is still mainly shorting, and it can continue to short near the rebound of 3200, with the target near 3170-3180.

xauusd is trading within a well-defined ascending channel, signaling ongoing bullish momentum. The price has continued to respect the channel structure, printing higher highs and higher lows, a clear sign of an intact uptrend. The recent retracement represents a healthy correction, potentially setting the stage for another bullish leg.
Price is now approaching a key support zone, marked by the lower boundary of the channel and a previous demand area. If this zone holds, it may offer a strong re-entry opportunity for buyers. The projected upside target is $3,450, which aligns with both the midline of the ascending channel and a previous resistance level.
As long as the price remains above the support zone and the ascending trendline, the bullish scenario remains valid. A break below this level, however, could invalidate the setup and increase the likelihood of a deeper retracement.
Always confirm your setups and trade with a proper risk management.
Best of luck!
Gold fluctuates. When will a new trend start?China and the United States reached a 90-day ceasefire agreement, and the price of gold returned to 3,200 from 3,400 US dollars. All traders are staring at the support level of 3,200 US dollars, and are very worried about whether it can withstand pressure; it will fall to a larger level, resulting in no trading opportunities for gold positions.
I think your concerns are normal, and market fluctuations are also normal. There is no market that only rises and never falls; even in the bull market, there will be periodic adjustments.
Next, the focus is on the maturity of US Treasury bonds in June. The impact of trade conflicts will soon be forgotten by the market; US CPI inflation continued to decline in April, from 2.4% in the early stage to 2.3%, getting closer and closer to the Fed's ultimate goal of 2%, which means that the Fed will soon have to restart the interest rate cut plan.
Once the US Treasury bonds mature and default or trigger panic, or if Fed Chairman Powell reveals his intention to cut interest rates, gold will rise rapidly and may reach a high point within 1-2 days.
Okay, everyone; you need to understand the basic situation, but the most important thing is the operation strategy during the Asian trading session.
I think you can first test the long strategy around $3225, with a stop loss below 3215 and a profit in the rebound range of $3340-3360.
Man, excessive worrying will not help; if you can't accept short-term volatility trading, you can wait and see and stay calm.
Potential bullish reversal XAUUSDThe market rejected a 4H demand zone identified by an Order Block (OBT), with a clear “Sellers Failed” signal—indicating a failed bearish continuation attempt. This suggests a potential bullish reversal.
📈 Anticipated Move:
The price is likely to target the following key resistance zones:
Daily Entry Sell Resistance: 3,265.74
50% Entry Sell Resistance: 3,317.03
4H Entry Sell Resistance: 3,360.73
📌 Technical Confluence:
Presence of Equal Highs (potential liquidity pool)
Consolidation structure forming above OBT
Price action building for a possible bullish leg
📊 Bias:
Short to mid-term bullish, with close monitoring of marked resistance zones for take-profit or invalidation scenarios.
Gold's callback remains bearish
As expected, the market weakened and fell again. Today, the lowest price fell to 3215. There are countless opportunities to stop profit and leave the market. Even if you don't operate, you can see the strategy time I publish every day. This can be regarded as the first round of gains since the opening. Although there is no long position, the short position is still good!
Approaching the European session, I also mentioned at noon that the rebound upward can continue to bet on the second short position. Both the time and the point are given. The highest rebound in the European session is 3266. The point I gave is 3260-63. There should be countless opportunities to enter the market. The current gold price fell to 3237! Still the same point of view, it is easy to make a profit of at least 20-30 points each time! If you have been facing losses, it means that you have not focused on the free strategies I publish every day.
Traders who did not enter the market today are advised to continue to pay attention to the 3266 resistance and enter the market again. The support below is 3215. Before the data market is released, it will be treated as a volatile trend. I will make real-time suggestions when the breakout occurs.

GOLD: Local Bearish Bias! Short!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse GOLD together☺️
The market is at an inflection zone and price has now reached an area around 3,237.87 where previous reversals or breakouts have occurred.And a price reaction that we are seeing on multiple timeframes here could signal the next move down so we can enter on confirmation, and target the next key level of 3,220.77.Stop-loss is recommended beyond the inflection zone.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
Gold Technicals & Potential Fundamental OutlooksPrice action shows gold respecting a key horizontal support zone around $3,215–$3,225, where multiple previous rejections have occurred. The latest candlesticks reveal long wicks to the downside and rejection from that area, indicating strong buyer interest and potential accumulation. Volume is increasing, which reinforces the credibility of this support.
The structure points to a potential reversal setup as the market creates a base and shows early signs of higher lows. If price breaks and closes above the minor resistance around $3,245–$3,255, bullish momentum may follow, targeting the next swing highs near $3,300–$3,340.
A clean invalidation for this bullish bias would be a breakdown below the $3,215 support zone with strong volume.
Key Technical Levels:
Support: $3,215–$3,225 (major support zone)
Resistance: $3,255 (minor), then $3,300–$3,340
Bias: Bullish above $3,255, cautious below $3,215
Some USD-impacting events for today include:
U.S. CPI or PPI data – Inflation readings can influence Fed rate expectations, affecting gold.
Fed speeches – Any hawkish/dovish signals from Federal Reserve officials will shift sentiment.
Retail Sales or Consumer Sentiment (UoM) – Strong numbers might boost the dollar and pressure gold, while weak ones can do the opposite.
GoldFundamental Analysis:
Gold maintains bullish momentum supported by expectations of a Fed rate pause and increased demand for safe-haven assets amid geopolitical tensions and potential economic slowdown. A weaker dollar and strong central bank purchases continue to support prices.
Technical Analysis (1H Chart):
Current Trend: Corrective upward
Current Price: 3204
Nearest Resistance: 3235 — A strong candle close above this level may lead to a move toward 3276
Nearest Support: 3195 — A break below this level could trigger a pullback toward 3160
Key Level to Watch: Holding above 3205 supports short-term bullish continuation
Outlook: Mild bullish bias unless reversal candles appear or key support breaks
