Gold at Key Fibonacci Retracement: Bullish Move Ahead?
Updated
Gold has retraced to my level of interest, hitting the 0.6-0.7 Fibonacci retracement zone, which aligns perfectly with the trend retest area. The confluence of technical signals here suggests a potential bounce from this level, supported by the Fibonacci levels and the current trend structure. A careful approach will be required as we wait for the price action to confirm a bullish continuation or a deeper retracement.
Technical Overview:
• Entry Point: Based on a key retracement to the 0.6-0.7 Fibonacci level, indicating a possible bullish reversal.
• Trend Retest: The price is interacting with the trendline retest, and maintaining above this level could signal further bullish momentum.
• Risk Management: Stop-loss levels are set below the 0.7 Fib level, as this area will be a key invalidation point should price break through.
Fundamental Overview:
Gold (XAU/USD) continues to rise, recently scaling new highs beyond $2,750 during the European session, driven by a risk-off sentiment due to tensions in the Middle East and ongoing US political uncertainty. This is compounded by expectations of a more accommodative Federal Reserve policy, with potential smaller interest rate cuts after the upcoming US Presidential election. While the rally in the US Dollar is dampening some of Gold’s demand, the broader macroeconomic environment continues to provide bullish support for the precious metal.
Moving forward, key drivers for the gold price will include any further escalation of geopolitical tensions, as well as central bank policies related to interest rates and monetary easing.
Note: Please remember to adjust this trade idea according to your individual trading conditions, including position size, broker-specific price variations, and any relevant external factors. Every trader’s situation is unique, so it’s crucial to tailor your approach to your own risk tolerance and market environment.

Trade closed manually
After observing a surge of selling orders on Bookmap, I manually closed the position to protect against further downside risk. The price showed no reaction from the anticipated support levels and continued its drop. Given the market’s aggressive move, I will allow it to absorb this decline before reassessing and potentially reentering the trade once stability returns.
Managing risk is key, and cutting the trade early helps prevent larger losses. Stay vigilant and ready to adjust as market dynamics evolve.

In today’s trade, the price didn’t react as anticipated on entry. This is a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of the markets. While the initial expectation was for a favorable reaction, the outcome shifted, requiring adjustments. As traders, it’s crucial to recognize when to cut losses and when to maintain a position. Market conditions are fluid, and adapting to changes is part of the trading reality. Understanding the balance between conviction and flexibility can make the difference in long-term trading success. Always remember, cutting a loss early can protect capital, while a well-managed trade can recover even after an unexpected shift.
Today’s trade didn’t go as expected, but that’s the reality of trading—it’s never about perfection, but about probabilities. Every setup offers a chance, but not a guarantee. What defines our success in this industry is not being right every time, but how we manage each situation when the market doesn’t align with our expectations. Recognizing when to cut a loss, adjust, or hold a position is the true skill of a trader. How we manage these probabilities helps us grow, learn, and ultimately prosper in this ever-evolving industry. Success isn’t built on perfection—it’s built on resilience and smart decisions.
