XAUUSD Price Outlook – Bearish Setup in Play ??Asset Overview
The chart represents a price action analysis with support and resistance zones, along with EMA indicators (50 and 200), likely on a 4H or 1H timeframe.
Key Technical Levels
Resistance Zone: ~3,400 to 3,450
First Support Zone: ~3,230 to 3,250
Second Support Zone: ~3,090 to 3,130
Indicators
EMA 50 (Red): Currently around 3,340, acting as dynamic resistance.
EMA 200 (Blue): Positioned near 3,232, reinforcing the first support zone.
Price Action Insight
Price had a strong uptrend, peaking above 3,440 before pulling back.
A lower high may be forming, suggesting possible trend exhaustion.
The current bounce appears to be a retracement back toward resistance or EMA 50.
Projected Move (As Illustrated on Chart)
Short-term bullish move into the resistance zone (~3,400–3,450).
Failure to break above resistance leads to sharp rejection.
Price retraces to first support zone (aligned with EMA 200).
If support fails, deeper drop expected toward the lower support zone (~3,100).
Strategic Notes
📉 Bearish Bias if price fails to break above resistance.
🔍 Watch for bearish candlestick patterns or divergences near resistance.
🛡️ First support aligns with EMA 200, making it a critical level for bulls to defend.
🔻 Breakdown below 3,230 opens room for larger correction to 3,100–3,090.
Conclusion
Currently, the chart suggests a potential short opportunity if price confirms rejection at resistance. The EMA cross structure remains bullish long-term, but momentum is weakening, and failure to reclaim highs could shift sentiment bearish in the short to mid-term.
XAUUSDK trade ideas
Lingrid | GOLD Weekly MARKET Analysis: CONSOLIDATION PhaseOANDA:XAUUSD has made a positive move but faced resistance at $3,430, with strong support established at $3,250. The market is likely to trade sideways or experience a deeper correction in the near term. A major resistance barrier appears to be forming overhead, making further upside difficult without significant catalysts.
These temporary pullbacks may prove beneficial within what appears to be a longer-term uptrend. It is natural for markets to move sideways and form consolidation patterns after the bullish momentum we've witnessed since the beginning of this year. Therefore, sideways consolidation currently represents the healthiest market reaction.
Last year, we observed similar price action where the market made a bullish move from February through April before consolidating for two months. Current price action suggests we may see consolidation in the form of a triangle pattern before a major catalyst fuels the next market move. Overall, I expect the market to continue moving sideways within the April trading range, with the possibility of a deeper correction.

THE KOG REPORT - Update End of day update from us here at KOG:
We can honestly say, even though the KOG Report plan didn't work out as we intended this week, it's been a phenomenal week on gold in Camelot. We've managed to capture the top (AGAIN), then bounced the low, then produced the FOMC KOG Report which gave us another level to level short with a pip perfect bounce for the long.
Early we published the play stating 3370 needs to break to go higher which it didn't giving the move downside that we're seeing now. Support here is below on this move if they manage to break through the 3300 level. No point attempting a long or short here as it's late session so the levels to watch are:
Support 3301 / 3296 and below that 3276
Resistance 3310 and above that 3320 which will need to break
As always, trade safe.
KOG
Gold Plain and SimpleTo cut to the chase, if the USD continues it's rally today and Gold stays below the $3230 - $3218 range, I am looking to short it to $3150 mark, where the previous 1 day timeframe had resistance back on the 4th of April 2025.
A break and hold above $3230 and I will consider a long position, with a tight stop loss.
GL!
Gold: weaker on stronger US DollarThe FOMC meeting was held during the previous week, where the Fed held interest rates on hold for one more time. Still, addressing the topic of potential negative effects of trade tariffs on the US economy, Fed Chair Powell assured the public that the Fed will react immediately, in case of higher deterioration of the jobs market and stronger increase in inflation. This improved investors sentiment in which sense, the US equity market gained, as well as US Dollar. At the same time, the price of gold dropped during the week from the level of $3.430 down to $3.324 as of the end of the trading week.
The RSI is still moving relatively high, closing the week at the level of 55. It seems that the market is still not ready to take the clear path toward the oversold market side. Moving averages of 50 and 200 days continue to move without any change, as two parallel lines with an uptrend. There is no any kind of indication that the potential cross might come anytime soon.
As per current charts, the price of gold still has some space for a move toward the downside, at least till the level of $3.250. At this level, the latest move will be exhausted. A move toward the lower grounds currently is not indicated. On the opposite side, the reversal to the upside is also possible. Considering current market sensitivity to news related to trade tariffs, the volatility might continue also in the future period, especially taking into account that US-China talks are expected to start soon.
XAUUSD GOLD Suggestion Bearish TrendGold (XAUUSD) is showing bearish momentum on the 30-minute chart.

Resistance level to watch 3335/ 40
Support Levels 3300 / 3270

XAUUSD Double TopOn the daily chart, XAUUSD has formed a potential double top pattern, and short-term bears have the upper hand. Currently, we can focus on the support near 3200. If it falls below, it is expected to continue to fall, and the downward target is the previous demand area of 2974-3022. During the day, we can focus on the rebound shorting opportunities in the 3268-3282 area.
India-Pak ceasefire & China-US talks will trigger gold declineTrade Tensions Ease and Safe-Haven Demand Cools 😎
Progress in China-US Economic and Trade Talks
The high-level economic and trade talks between China and the US held in Geneva, Switzerland have achieved substantial progress 🎉! Both sides have agreed to establish a regular consultation mechanism and plan to issue a joint statement 📄. This progress has significantly alleviated market concerns about the escalation of trade frictions, causing a sharp decline in the safe-haven demand for gold 💸.
Geopolitical Risks Mitigated
India - Pakistan Conflict : India and Pakistan have reached a comprehensive ceasefire agreement 🤝! Tensions in the region are finally calming down, further weakening the safe-haven appeal of gold 👀.
Russia - Ukraine Conflict : The two sides of Russia and Ukraine are likely to restart negotiations on May 15 🤝. This positive development is easing the situation and dampening the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset 📉.
Middle East Situation : The situation in the Middle East (such as the negotiations between the US and Iran) has also eased 🌮. Great news for stability, but not so great for gold's safe-haven status ⚖️.
With all these factors at play, Suggest going short on the rebound 💰! Seize the opportunity while the market trends downward ⬇️.

Fading Gold’s All‑Time HighGold has just posted a euphoric all‑time high at 3 499.6 after an almost parabolic climb along a single ascending trend‑line, and the wick that pierced that level sits in a thin, low‑volume pocket on the profile—classic bull‑trap territory—so once we see a four‑hour close beneath the trend‑line we expect momentum algos to flip, dragging price swiftly toward the 3 160‑3 130 demand block that marks the prior high‑volume consolidation; the short thesis is to scale into shorts between 3 480‑3 510, place invalidation above 3 525, and ride a potential vacuum move to that target zone (with room to extend toward 3 100) as crowded longs unwind, especially if a hawkish Fed headline or uptick in real yields provides the spark.
Gold ShortOn the one hour timeframe this is what i see. On Friday the trendline held but the bullish momentum was week and the trendline was broken during market open. Based on US-China deal that seems to be promising i believe we might see a short and since the trend line has been broken risk takers can go short and those who are afraid of risk can wait for more confirmations like a retest.
Gold on a declineTechnical analysis: Even though the Price-action invalidated the Lower High’s (Hourly 4 chart’s) Ascending Triangle trendline, it failed to test the #3,200.80 benchmark / acting as an first Medium-term Support zone, so Technically Gold is is still near Lower High’s Lower zone extension, and if Price-action closes the session above #3,200.80 benchmark, Gold will be Targeting #3,300.80 benchmark / fractal on yet another Buying sequence. If however #3,200.80 - #3,192.80 first Short and Medium-term Support gets invalidated, then the Hourly 1 chart’s variance of #3,152.80 benchmar should be tested, in case of Bearish sequence below, Price-action will be calling for #3,100.80 final line of the defence and as discussed, possible Stabilization zone ahead of possible relief rally. Subsequently, previous Hourly 4 chart’s Support of #3,252.80 benchmark was firmly broken and current configuration pointed out to a new bigger proportion downtrend, where Fundamentals are confirming the as well the speculative downtrend in continuation.
My position: Gold found the Support almost delivering Double Bottom formation and market closing is on main stage. Either closing above #3,200.80 benchmark and #3,300.80 re-test or DX delivering Buying sequence in extension / in that case Gold eyes decline in continuation.
Gold continues to short despite rebound!Gold opened low and moved lower today, and then rebounded near the previous low. Now, at the four-hour level, a downward trend channel is formed from 3500 to 3440. The current support of gold price is near 3164. This is the condition that it can fall below the previous low of 3200 before continuing to push down. The middle track is at the early high of 3292. At present, the gold price is running between the middle and lower tracks of the channel, so 3292 can be used as a medium-term long-short watershed. The main idea is still to be bearish and downward. Secondly, pay attention to 3252, which is also a defensive position on the way down. The 1-hour moving average of gold continues to cross the downward short position. There is still room for downward movement. The strength of the short position is still there. The US market rebounded twice and fell back under pressure near 3248. Then the US market continued to be under pressure at 3248. The high-altitude short position is basically in place. The short-term focus on the upper side is 3248-3252 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 3200-3160 support.
Gold is still in a short-term bearish trendGold's 1-hour moving average continues to turn downward. If it crosses below to form a downward death cross, then gold's room for decline may further open up. The short-term short position of gold has not ended yet. Gold has a trend of falling again. The short-term trend of gold is still short.
Trading ideas: short gold near 3325, stop loss 3340, target 3290

XAU/USD: Gold Regains Strength After Pullback – New Highs Ahead?By analyzing the gold chart on the 2-hour timeframe, we can see that yesterday, as expected, gold surged above $3400, reaching as high as $3439 before facing strong selling pressure, dropping sharply to $3359.
Currently, gold is trading around $3385, and if the price can hold above $3366, we may expect further bullish momentum. I believe gold is setting up for another move above $3400, potentially aiming to break into new highs once again.

Start buying gold and wait for a rebound.At the 4-hour level, the overall market judgment remains unchanged. In terms of the lower support level, 3208-3207 is the key support area. This position is not only the low point on Monday, but also an important support level formed by the previous starting point line extending to the present. As for the upper resistance level, first of all, we need to focus on yesterday's high point of 3265, which is also the previous shock low point. Secondly, the 3290-3293 area formed by the rebound after the gap-down opening on Monday is also a resistance range that cannot be ignored. In the short term, pay attention to the resistance line of 3260-3270 above, and pay attention to the support line of 3220-3210 below in the short term. Further support focuses on the 3200 mark.
Gold operation strategy: 3220-3210 long, target 3230-3250; gold rebounds to 3260-3265 short, target 3240-3220.

GOLD Approaching Key Buy Zone – Massive Bounce Incoming? Gold is currently testing a critical demand zone after a strong retracement from recent highs.
Key Highlights:
Strong Support Zone: Price is sitting right on the demand zone (highlighted in blue), which previously acted as resistance in April and flipped to support in early May.
Trendline Confluence: The ascending trendline from the March lows adds further strength to this zone.
Bullish Risk-to-Reward Setup: Risk is tightly defined below the zone, while the reward stretches back toward the 3,400+ region.
Candle Behavior: Recent candles show indecision (doji-like), hinting at potential exhaustion of sellers.
Trade Idea:
Buy Entry: Around 3,234
Stop Loss: Below 3,150 (just under trendline and demand zone)
Take Profit: 3,440 area (previous high)
This setup offers a solid R:R ratio and aligns with the overall uptrend structure.
Will Gold bounce or break? This level is make-or-break for bulls.

GOLD : This time is different Hello !
No, this time is now different. It was a joke.
*****************************************************
1- Bar pattern of the last bull run is a true way of gold for us. This is almost perfection.
***
2- The objective is 7000-8000$ per once. The top momentum can really hit 10k or 12k if the demand explode, because today, we are in a connected world.
***
3- The top is when Ma deviation is 200% of the 200 MA Monthly in RED like 2011. However, il will update in weekly because is very interesting. You will find below this idea.
***
4- What is the signification for the equity ?
The signification is : No New bullrun until the top of the gold. Probably a consolidation at those levels. However, we are in capital rotation, so, we can easily imagine an explosion of gold if Market drop hard.
***
5- At this level, if you buy now, you can do an easily 100% and maybe 200%.
CPI - inflation assessment, gold accumulation⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Swap markets have now fully priced in a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, with expectations for two additional reductions by year-end. This marks a slight shift from last week, when traders had anticipated the first cut as early as July and a total of three rate cuts in 2025.
On the geopolitical front, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Monday that military operations against Pakistan are merely on hold, warning that future actions will depend on Islamabad’s conduct. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed willingness to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin later this week, following US President Donald Trump's call for him to "immediately" accept a peace summit invitation in Turkey. Heightened geopolitical risks from these developments could fuel demand for safe-haven assets like gold, reinforcing the metal’s appeal amid ongoing global uncertainty.
