Gold soaring on Fundamental pressure / Buy every dipTechnical analysis: Gold has gone into Asian session Buying rally continuation and having been slightly disconnected on itโs Technical background and especially correlation with DX, Bond Yields are Trading near local Highโs (Bullish Gap fill) which is a mix which pushed Gold north aggressively and invalidated Selling potential prior every local High's. Sellers once again underestimated the Bullish potential of the recent Buying leg as Goldโs Price-action is isolated within healthy Ascending Channel on most of the charts. As long as aggressive Volatility lasts, and the probability of doing so is High as April is projected to be Bearish Month regarding DX, Gold will represent decent Short and Medium-term Buying option. If by some intervention DX start trending upwards (so far struggling to make Bullish comeback and finding meaningful Support or in general more stable Support zone), uptrend on Gold will be stalled but for now #3,500.80 benchmark is and should probably be next Goldโs most viable Target if DX don't deliver new full bodied positive candle. Daily chartโs curve for now holds Buying bias and usually this Technical setup points to new Bullish break-out.
My position: I have expected Gold to form a Top near #3,392.80 - #3,400.80 however since Price-action invalidated my potential reversal zone and closed the market above #3,400.80 benchmark, I continue Buying Gold all the way with #3,500.80 benchmark as new potential Ultimate Top's zone. Keep in mind that as long as DX is Trading on disappointing numbers, Medium-term Selling reversal on Gold will be postponed.
XAUUSDG trade ideas
Can gold continue its decline and hit a new low?Gold price is currently trading below 3330. The downward trend in the Asian session fell below 3313, and our short position also successfully harvested a wave of big profits. Gold price showed signs of rebound at the beginning of the European session. Now the upper suppression level can be moved down. The short-term suppression refers to 3330, followed by the second highest point on the way up to 3357; the lower support focuses on 3285, and after effectively breaking it, we can focus on 3245. Now the gold price is trading near the low point of 3318. The prudent operation idea is to short at 3320 for protection at 3331 to see the gold price go to 3285. After the break, wait for the rebound of 3300 and go short again to see the position of 3245. It is not recommended to participate in long positions.
On the whole, today's short-term operation of gold recommends shorting mainly on rebounds, supplemented by longs on callbacks. The top short-term focus is on the first-line resistance of 3320-3330, and the bottom short-term focus is on the first-line support of 3285-3245.
Short order strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches when it rebounds to around 3320-3325, stop loss 6 points, target around 3290-3260, and look at 3245 if it breaks;
Long order strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% โโof the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3245-3250, stop loss 6 points, target around 3280-3290, and look at 3300 if it breaks;
Gold extends slump as risk assets rallyGold has extended its slump, now off by more than $230 (-6.5%) from yesterday's record high of $3.5K. Unwinding of "Sell America" trades continue as risk assets rally on Trump's trade optimism.
Key levels to watch
With short-term support broken at $3,342, this level has already turned into resistance.
The next support was at $3,284. This level has just been taken out. Therefore, we could this level turn into resistance in the next few hours.
Untested old resistance at $3,245 is now the next downside objective. Below that $3,200 and then $3,167 (old resistance).
How to trade gold?
Trade gold from level to level, as it unwinds from significantly overbought levels. Could be a while before it starts trending higher again. Equally, given the long-term bullish trend, the bears should be looking to book profit some profit at every potentially key support.

Chips Off the Table or Buy the Dip ?Hello Traders ๐บ
I hope you're doing well โ especially if you followed my last idea, because you probably took some chips off the table and got prepared for a healthy correction.
As I mentioned before, if BTC (aka digital gold) starts to bounce, there's a strong chance weโll see a correction in GOLD โ because these two assets are starting to decouple. At the time of writing this idea, BTC is up nearly 10% compared to two days ago, while GOLD has dropped around 6% and printed a very bearish candlestick pattern. Let me show you:
BTC vs GOLD:
As you can see on the chart above, BTC has broken out of a bullish flag, while GOLD is printing a potential local top โ at least in the short term.
๐ My personal price targets for GOLD:
First Target: Around the support trendline at 3088$. If you want to be more conservative โ since weโre still in an uptrend โ itโs smarter to take profits and buy back around the 0.5 Fibonacci level.
Second Target (Worst-case scenario): Around the blue monthly support trendline โ near the 0.786 Fibonacci level โ somewhere around 2850$. Why? Because the RSI shows a triple top and a strong bearish divergence. If this pattern plays out, we could see more short-term pain in GOLD.
I hope you enjoyed this idea โ and as always, remember:
๐บ Discipline is rarely enjoyable, but almost always profitable. ๐บ

Gold plummets and peaks in stages, price trend in the futureGold prices retreated from a record high of $3,500, attracting some selling for two consecutive days. U.S. President Donald Trump softened his rhetoric toward the chairman of the Federal Reserve and sent signals that trade tensions may be easing, weakening market demand for safe-haven assets.
The fluctuations will depend on technical points. When the market returns to the technical level, the next operation will be much more stable. At least there are high points above for reference. It is just a matter of timing. However, the crazy time is over, but the bull market is not over.
At present, the price has peaked at 3500 USD. The short-term market will enter a consolidation phase. The callback will focus on the 382 split support of 3292 and the 50 split support of 3228 in the 2956-3500 segment. The limit is that it will not fall too far from 3167. These positions are also waiting for the opportunity to rise again. Each squat adjustment is to further continue the bullish trend. The next stage of pull-up height should pay attention to 3746;
In the intraday, gold opened lower in the early trading, rebounded to the gap of 3385 US dollars and continued to break the bottom. In the short term, 3385 will form a new pressure point. For today's market, the high and high are the main rhythm. The morning low of 3315 is the watershed. If it falls below it during the day, the US market will inevitably retreat for the second time. The double bottom support is 3283, which is the point for long today.

XAUUSD Analysis Today: Technical and Order Flow !In this video I will be sharing my XAUUSD analysis today, by providing my complete technical and order flow analysis, so you can watch it to possibly improve your forex trading skillset. The video is structured in 3 parts, first I will be performing my complete technical analysis, then I will be moving to the COT data analysis, so how the big payers in market are moving their orders, and to do this I will be using my customized proprietary software and then I will be putting together these two different types of analysis.
4/24 Gold Trading StrategyYesterday's intraday recommendation to buy near 3260 has paid off, with gold trending upward after the market opened today and generating solid profits.
The current pullback appears to be a healthy support retest. However, caution is neededโif the price breaks below 3306, momentum could drag it under 3300 again.
Should that happen, a renewed long position at lower levels is still worth considering. The rebound so far lacks both strength and duration, suggesting a potential shakeout. While it could also be a bull trap, entering at lower levels limits downside riskโwith the worst case being reduced profits, not significant losses.
Today's Trading Strategy:
Sell Zone: 3410โ3440
Buy Zone: 3267โ3230
Flexible Trading Zones: 3383โ3340 / 3288โ3336
GOLD, hibernated - and its good. More energy for MORE RISE AHEADSignal: LONG GOLD
After going parabolic this past few days -- hitting a series of ATH on daily basis, Gold finally took some well deserved respite, and hibernated to tap previous resistance turned support area.
Price is now basing again at this discounted zone -- an ideal seeding area.
Fib tap at 38.2 has been spotted. This is where most buyers converge.
The growth prospect of this next phase in progress is a bit on the generous side. A possible 2500 pip scenario from the current price range.
Long at current price 3330.
Target 3650.
TAYOR. Trade safely.

XAUUSD sell Gold price retreats slightly from near $3,500, or a fresh all-time highs in the early European session on Tuesday as bulls pause for a breather amid overbought conditions on short-term charts. Any meaningful corrective downfall, however, still seems elusive on sustained US Dollar weakness
If Gold sellers manage to fight back control, Gold price could initially retreat toward the $3,400 mark, below which the previous dayโs low of $3,329 will be tested.

Little more up for goldHi traders,
This is what I've said last week in my outlook: next week we could see a correction and more upside for this pair.
And I drew an arrow for the target. Now check the chart.
This is the power of wave analysis in combination with liquidity sweeps and FVG's!
For next week we could see a little more upside (finish grey wave 3) and after that a bigger correction for (grey) wave 4.
Let's see what price does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for a change in orderflow to bullish. After an impulse wave and a small correction down on a lower time frame you could trade (short term) longs.
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!

Is goldโs downtrend turning bearish?Gold plunged from a high of 3,500 yesterday, mainly because US President Trump said at the swearing-in ceremony of SEC Chairman Atkins on Tuesday that he had no intention of firing Fed Chairman Powell, although he was disappointed that the Fed did not cut interest rates faster. The cooling of risk aversion directly affected the gold price, which once fell to $3,366, and then closed around 3,382, with the largest drop of 134 points on Tuesday. This wave of gold correction is still continuing. After opening today, it fell straight to 3,315. Although the decline has now been completely recovered, I think the short position still has continuity, so today's operation strategy is still mainly high-altitude.
XAUUSD Today's Operation StrategyLooking back on our previous analyses, we have repeatedly emphasized the close correlation between the easing of tariff issues and the pullback in the price of gold ๐. Now, based on the judgment of the latest market dynamics, today's trading strategy for gold still maintains short selling as its main tone ๐. Here, we solemnly remind all freelance traders that to avoid the risk of account liquidation caused by drastic market fluctuations, it is advisable to stay away from taking long positions as much as possible โ ๏ธ
From a technical analysis perspective, the range between 3380 and 3360 has established a solid resistance barrier ๐ง. Once the gold price rises and reaches this area, there is a high probability that it will encounter strong selling pressure and decline ๐. This is precisely the optimal time to place short orders ๐. Additionally, the price range of 3330 - 3320 deserves special attention ๐. As the starting point of a large bullish candlestick on the hourly chart, it also serves as a potential support level for long positions during retracements ๐. At the same time, the gain or loss of the key support level of 3280 below is of great significance ๐. If this support level is effectively broken, it indicates that the bearish forces have full control of the market, and the gold price may initiate a new round of decline โฌ๏ธ. The next target level can be focused on around 3195 ๐ฏ. It is crucial to keep in mind that in the actual trading process, formulating a rigorous SL and TP strategy and reasonably managing the position size are the keys to stable trading ๐

๐ XAUUSD Sniper Plan | April 21 NY Session | ATH Game On
๐งพ Macro Overview โ Why Gold Is on Fire
Gold just pierced through ATH 3430.34, fueled by:
๐ฅ Escalating USโChina trade tensions (145% US tariffs, 125% China response)
๐ Weakening USD (Dollar Index down 5.2% YTD)
๐ฆ Chinaโs strategic gold accumulation (tripled reserves to 8%)
๐ Rate cut expectations from the Fed & bond volatility
๐ Goldman Sachs target upgrade: $3700 โ $4500 if tensions persist
In short: gold isnโt just bullishโitโs a magnet for global fear, positioning, and central bank demand. But after a vertical sprint, even bulls need to breathe.

XAUUSD Market Recap โ April 21, 2025 | NY Close Review๐จ XAUUSD Market Recap โ April 21, 2025 | NY Close Review
๐น Price Action:
Gold made another aggressive high into ATH 3430, reaching full premium territory with strong upside momentum through London into NY. But the reaction near 3430 was sharp โ indicating potential short-term exhaustion.
๐ What Worked Today
โ
Liquidity sweep complete โ Price ran clean through the previous weak high and liquidity above 3425, grabbing the top before rejecting.
โ
Bullish BOS confirmed โ Structure remained bullish on all timeframes, with no valid CHoCH break on H1 or H4.
โ
Sniper bias confirmed โ Directional buys played perfectly from lower OBs (especially the ones marked pre-Asia and pre-London).
๐ What Didnโt Happen
โ No mitigation of lower H1/H4 FVGs โ Zones between 3361 and 3387 remain completely untouched.
โ The 3305โ3315 OB area wasnโt retested โ Meaning any breakout traders looking for retests were left hanging.
โ No real signs of reversal structure โ Despite the reaction off ATH, weโve yet to see a proper CHoCH + BOS sequence on H1 or H4.
โ ๏ธ Unmitigated Key Zones
๐ฆ H1 FVG โ 3361
๐ฆ H4 FVG โ 3285.00โ3300.00
๐ง H4 OB block โ 3224 (untouched, still a strong magnet if sell momentum kicks in)
These levels remain high interest for any future discount buy setups if price starts pulling back.
๐ What Was Rejected Today
๐ผ 3430 โ New ATH. Price wicked into this level and rejected instantly with visible CHoCH on M15 and M5, leaving a clear bearish reaction.
๐ผ M15 OB โ The supply zone around 3425โ3430 acted as short-term resistance with an intraday bearish sequence into NY close.
๐ง Market Sentiment
๐ธ Still bullish on HTF, but intraday shows clear profit-taking behavior.
๐ธ Dollar weakness and geopolitical premium still holding gold up โ but overextension risk is real above 3425.
๐ Summary
Gold remains in a strong uptrend but may be showing short-term exhaustion after hitting ATH 3430. With unmitigated OBs and FVGs below, any deeper pullback will be liquidity-driven, not structural bearishnessโฆ yet.
We'll prep the sniper plan separately soon โ stay ready. ๐ง โ๏ธ
