GOLD (XAUUSD): Strong Bullish Signs?!
Gold strongly corrected from 3500 psychological level.
After a test of the underlined intraday support cluster,
the market started to leave strong bullish clues.
After a false violation of the support, the price accumulated a bit
and broke a resistance line of a falling wedge pattern on an hourly time frame.
With that move, Gold also managed to confirm a local Change of Character CHoCH.
All these bullish signals indicate a highly probable continuation of a growth.
The price may move up at least to 3377 level easily.

Gold prediction 24.04.2025🟢 Gold Price Action Analysis (XAU/USD)
Date: April 24, 2025
Time Frame: Short-Term Intraday
Market Context:
Gold is currently respecting a key trendline support zone between 3326 and 3332. This area has acted as a strong demand zone recently and price is showing signs of bullish interest around this level.
Bullish Scenario (Primary Bias):
If the trendline holds around 3326–3332, we anticipate a bullish move targeting the previous swing high at 3388.
Confirmation would be bullish candlestick formation or volume buildup near the trendline zone.
📈 Buy Signal:
Buy between 3326–3332 (only on confirmation as cired above)
🎯 Target: 3388
🛑 Stop Loss: Below 3320 (trendline invalidation)
Bearish Scenario (Alternative Plan):
If price breaks below the trendline and retests the 3326–3332 zone as resistance (confirmation on m1 or m5, we’ll look to short.
This would indicate a trendline breakdown and potential bearish momentum towards the previous low.
📉 Sell Signal (on Break and Retest):
Sell near 3326–3332 (after breakdown and bearish retest)
🎯 Target: 3261
🛑 Stop Loss: Above 3335

Trading Silver’s Retrace: 50% Equilibrium Strategy for XAGUSD🪙 XAUUSD Technical Analysis
The daily chart for XAGUSD shows a significant sell-off after a strong bullish move, with a retracement of approximately 21.93% from the recent swing high. However, the price has since broken structure to the upside, indicating a potential shift in momentum back to the bulls. The current price action is trending upward, approaching the previous high, which could act as a resistance level. Your plan to look for a retrace into the 50% equilibrium of the recent swing on the 4-hour chart is technically sound, as this level often acts as a magnet for price and a potential area for institutional order flow. Waiting for a pullback and a bullish structural break in your area of interest increases the probability of a successful long entry.
🔍 Key Levels & Price Action
The 50% equilibrium of the recent swing (measured from the swing low to the swing high) is a classic area for price to retrace before resuming the trend. If price pulls back into this zone and forms a bullish structure (such as a higher low or a bullish engulfing candle), it could provide a high-probability long setup. Watch for confirmation on lower timeframes (like the 4H) for added confluence. The previous high around $35 may act as resistance, so partial profits or tighter stops near this level could be prudent.
🌐 Fundamentals & Sentiment
Silver is currently benefiting from a mix of macroeconomic factors. Ongoing inflation concerns, central bank buying, and geopolitical tensions (such as those in Eastern Europe and the Middle East) are supporting precious metals. Additionally, industrial demand for silver remains robust, especially with the global push toward green energy and solar panel production. However, a stronger US dollar or rising bond yields could temporarily cap gains. Sentiment among retail traders is cautiously bullish, with many looking for dips to buy, but there is also a risk of volatility if macro data surprises.
🧠 Alternative Views
Some analysts caution that the recent rally may be overextended, and a deeper correction could occur if risk-off sentiment returns or if the Fed signals more aggressive tightening. Others point to the strong uptrend and suggest that any pullback is likely to be bought, especially if it aligns with key technical levels like the 50% retracement. Keep an eye on COT (Commitment of Traders) data for signs of large speculator positioning, as well as ETF flows for additional clues on institutional sentiment.
📈 Trade Management & Risk
If entering long on a pullback to the 50% equilibrium, consider using a stop loss below the swing low to protect against a deeper correction. Scaling out profits as price approaches the previous high or key resistance zones can help lock in gains. Always use proper risk management and avoid overleveraging, especially in a volatile market like silver.

GOLD recovers, market sentiment correction may stopAfter US President Trump hinted that tariffs on China could be reduced and that he had no intention of removing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, the market's risk-off sentiment cooled and international gold prices fell on Wednesday (April 23) before recovering slightly in early trading today, Thursday (April 24).
Last night, Trump made some important comments, not only clearly showing a softer stance on China but also making it clear that he had no intention of removing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell (in fact, he has no authority to do so).
The current bullish cycle in OANDA:XAUUSD is largely driven by the market pricing in the risk of “stagflation”, but as this risk is gradually eliminated, gold could see a significant correction.
Looking at the big picture, gold remains in an uptrend as real yields are likely to continue to fall amid the Fed’s easing policy. But in the short term, if positive tariff news continues to emerge, gold could fall further and the market will adjust to the new environment.
Earlier, after days of harsh criticism of the Federal Reserve for not cutting interest rates, Trump withdrew his threat to fire Chairman Powell. At the same time, he also expressed confidence in reaching a deal with China to significantly reduce import tariffs from China, but also warned that "if they don't make a deal, we'll make a deal."
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday cut its forecast for global and US economic growth this year, citing Trump's tariff policies as the main reason for the downgrade.
As a traditional safe-haven asset, gold has set new historical highs several times since the beginning of 2025, with a cumulative increase of more than 26%.
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
After 2 days of significant correction, gold recovered in today's Asian trading session (24/4) with the recovery level taking the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement point as the nearest support. As noted to readers throughout the publications, gold is still in an uptrend with the price channel as the main trend and the main support from the EMA21, as long as the price decline does not break below the above supports, it should only be considered a short-term correction or a buying opportunity.
As of now, gold is trading around $3,333/oz, up 1.38% on the day and around $45 and the upside momentum is expected to test the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level followed by $3,430.
For the day, the main technical outlook for gold is bullish recovery, and the notable positions are listed as follows.
Support: $3,300 – $3,292 – $3,245
Resistance: $3,371 – $3,430

Gold – Watching Key Resistance for Intraday Sell Plays📌 Gold Surges $80 off Support – Watching Key Resistance for Intraday Sell Plays 📉📈
Gold (XAU/USD) bounced sharply today — surging over 80 points from the support zone near $3,260, swept during the late U.S. session. This strong rebound came as buyers stepped in aggressively after a 250+ point crash earlier in the week.
Now, the market is pulling back from the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement zone, showing early signs of sell-side reaction. If this momentum continues, Asian and London sessions could push price lower to fill liquidity in the untested FVG region near 3,288.
🔁 Intraday Structure & Key Zones
After sweeping both sides of the range (80 up / 40 down), gold is now consolidating between 3,328 – 3,320. With intraday volatility ranging from 80–100 points, today’s focus will be on high-probability reaction zones.
🔴 SELL Bias for Today
Primary Resistance: 3,376 – 3,378
→ This zone is expected to act as the first defense for sellers.
If broken, watch the final resistance at 3,410 — a key structural level.
→ A clean breakout above 3,410 may invalidate the sell setup and shift the bias back to BUY.
🔍 News to Watch
⚠️ Unemployment Claims (U.S.) will be released during the New York session.
→ Given current market sensitivity, expect volatility to spike around this release.

Gold’s upside seems limited given overbought conditionsGold appears to be showing signs of finally cracking after an impressive run higher, with the excitement surrounding its rally potentially approaching a crescendo. The precious metal experienced a sharp intraday reversal on 22 April, a decline that continued into 23 April. Since the recent uptrend began in mid-March, gold has consistently found support at its 10-day exponential moving average (EMA).
For now, gold continues to hold just above this key support level; a break below the 10-day EMA could signal a heightened risk of further declines, potentially targeting $3,280 per troy ounce.
Gold remains extremely overbought on the weekly chart, trading above the upper Bollinger Band, with the relative strength index (RSI) above 80. This suggests that gold could be due for a sideways consolidation or pullback towards the 10-week moving average at $3,100.
Gold also remains overbought on the monthly chart, trading above the upper Bollinger band and with an RSI above 85. In this scenario, a break below $2,900 may lead to a decline towards the 10-month moving average of $2,800.
It is not often that an asset class trades at such extreme levels, and this suggests that gold may be overdue for a period of consolidation, either by trading sideways and marking time or by pulling back to retest some of the moving averages situated at lower levels. It continues to indicate that overall gold’s upside may be limited.

Gold’s rebound is not a reversal, the decline is returningThe recent trend of the gold market has been "crazy". Gold jumped higher and opened more in the Asian market today. In the morning, gold tested as high as 3367 and then fell back, indicating that the momentum of bulls has been limited. From the hourly chart, the MA30 moving average is around 3330, and the European market is likely to be volatile during the day. In the morning, Lianyang's rise was blocked by the 3367 first-line pressure and fell back. In the European market, we can continue to be bullish by focusing on the 3330 first-line support. The target is 3350-3355. If the position is broken, continue to hold. The 4H mid-rail 3380 line has been lost and has become a key counter-pressure point. The upper pressure is focused on 3380-3386. If it cannot regain this position, the downward correction trend will be maintained. If it reaches it, you can try to sell short.

Gold short-term analysisGold daily line fell 240 dollars from the top of 3500. At present, 3500 is under short-term pressure. Whether the adjustment is over or not cannot be confirmed. The short-term 4-hour middle track 3380 has been lost and converted into a key resistance!
The 1-hour level K-line is under pressure and ma10 and ma5 continue to fall. After yesterday's consolidation and pull-up in the NY market, the K-line has now re-run above ma10, plus macd is under the zero axis. The rapid decline of 200 dollars has almost corrected most of the upward trend. If it continues to fall, it may start to build a bottom with the help of the bottom divergence, and then start the next round of gains!
Today is also a critical day for gold. After the bottom of 3260, today's strength is very important. If gold continues to rise directly today without a big correction, it means that gold may start to fluctuate and rise again.
Key points:
First support: 3320, second support: 3300, third support: 3288
First resistance: 3360, second resistance: 3376, third resistance: 3400

Gold - Why a drop to 3250 could be the perfect buy!Gold has been in a strong and sustained uptrend, showing impressive momentum with minimal pullbacks along the way. At the moment, Gold is forming a rising wedge pattern, which could indicate potential short-term downside price action. If we see a retracement from current levels, I’ll be watching closely for a long opportunity.
A break below this rising wedge would suggest possible short-term downside movement. This would actually be healthy for the overall trend, as small pullbacks are a natural and necessary part of a strong uptrend. It helps shake out weak hands, reset indicators, and build stronger support for the next leg higher.
Why a drop to around 3250?
If the wedge breaks, there’s an imbalance zone (4h FVG) sitting just below the current price level that has yet to be filled. These imbalance zones are created when price moves sharply in one direction, leaving gaps in the market structure. These areas often act as magnets, drawing price back to fill them before the trend resumes.
This particular imbalance zone lines up perfectly with the golden pocket Fibonacci retracement, adding further significance to the level as a strong area of support for the bulls. When technical confluences align like this, they tend to become high-probability reaction zones.
It’s also worth noting that this was the last major high that was broken before Gold made its most recent move upward. That makes this level even more likely to be defended by buyers. Bulls who missed the initial breakout will be watching this level closely for entries.
What are we watching for?
If Gold fails to hold the structure of the rising wedge, it opens the door for a sharper pullback towards the 3250 zone. This level aligns with multiple key confluences: the support zone, the 4h FVG, and the golden pocket. All of these factors together make it a prime level to look for bullish setups.
Conclusion
Gold remains in a strong uptrend but is starting to show early signs of a potential short-term pullback if it loses the rising wedge structure. Should that happen, the primary target for downside would be the 3250 level. This is where I’ll be looking for long opportunities, as it aligns with major support, the 4h imbalance zone, and the golden pocket retracement.
While this pullback would be short-term in nature, the broader trend remains bullish. As long as key levels hold and market structure stays intact, the bigger picture favors further upside. A healthy retracement here could set the stage for a more sustainable and explosive next leg up.

GOLD → Reversal or correction? What to do now?FX:XAUUSD reaching the psychological high of $3500 has entered the correction phase, which was also influenced by a slight easing of the tariff conflict between the U.S. and China....
After falling without reaching the zone of interest 3288, the gold price is strengthening at the beginning of the European session, expecting PMI data from the U.S.. Earlier, the metal reached a record of $3,500, but rolled back amid hopes for an easing of the trade war with China and words of the US Treasury Secretary about a possible “détente”.
The dollar recovered as part of the correction, but investors doubt Trump's predictability, gold at this time begins a correction. In the center of attention is the PMI index from S&P Global: its results may affect expectations for Fed Funds rates and give a new direction to the market.
Resistance levels: 3340, 3360, 3366
Support levels: 3317, 3288
Technically gold is in correction and confirms the bearish structure. But any unexpected statement by Trump may attract aggressive buying.
Nevertheless, we should now consider a possible decline from 3340 - 3360 - 3366. Buying could be considered on a retest of support or a close above 3370.
Regards R. Linda!

Gold short-term analysisSpot gold rebounded slightly in early Asian trading on Thursday and is currently trading around $3,329, supported by bargain hunting. Gold prices continued to fall from record highs on Wednesday, falling nearly 3%, hitting a low of $3,260.08 and closing at $3,288.18. Investors were relieved by hopes of easing trade tensions and President Trump's abandonment of his threat to fire the Fed chairman. The dollar rebounded against major currencies on Wednesday, with the dollar index rising 0.94% on Wednesday, recording two consecutive gains on the daily line, reaching a high of 99.94, a nearly one-week high, and closing at 99.90. Earlier, US President Trump said he did not intend to fire the Fed chairman and hinted at progress on tariffs. The dollar and US stocks rebounded, suppressing gold prices. After gold prices were blocked and fell back at the 3,500 mark, more short-term long profit-taking also dragged down gold prices.
From the daily level, gold rose strongly during Tuesday's session, hit the key price of 3,500, then fell back and finally closed down. This trend of rising and falling showed that the selling pressure from above was heavy, and the buying power encountered strong resistance from selling at high levels. Then, gold continued to fall on Wednesday and closed down again, forming a technical pattern of two consecutive declines. This continuous decline further confirmed that short-term bears are dominant.
Overall, today's short-term operation strategy for gold is mainly rebound short selling. The upper short-term focus is on the 3365-3370 line of resistance, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3305-3300 line of support
Interval buy: 3305-3303, LS:3293, TP: 3325-3335
Interval sell: 3360-3362, LS:3372, TP: 3340-3345
Key points:
First support: 3305, second support: 3300, third support: 3290
First resistance: 3360, second resistance: 3370, third resistance: 3375

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 4-23 : Rally-111 PatternToday's pattern really showed up pre-market.
Where was the rally today? It happened before the US markets opened for business.
The SPY/QQQ had already moved up into my upper resistance area on strong buying overnight.
I knew I had to run my father around most of the day, so I booked my profits this morning and tried to catch one little SPY rally (that didn't work out).
So, I started taking some positions for next week's potential downtrend, and I thought, "How much risk am I taking on these trades if the markets continue to move upward?"
I realized I would be taking about $1000 to $1400 in total risk, but my expiration date is near May 16. So my target for any profit really needs to be before May 10th or so.
If the markets do what I expect, I'll be sitting back, watching my profits grow as the markets trend downward into my May 2 Major Bottom (I hope).
I created this video to highlight the now partially confirmed inverted EPP pattern that setup the Ultimate High in early trading today.
Now that we've completed the inverted EPP pattern, we should be looking for the ES/SPY/QQQ to move downward, shift into a sideways/upward price flag. Then, break down into the new Consolidation phase.
Essentially, if my EPP patterns play out well, I timed my move away from longs/calls and into shorts/puts almost perfectly. Now, I just need to sit back and wait for the markets to make a move.
This is what trading is all about. You can't kick the markets to do what you want them to do. You have to learn to take what the markets give you and fall in line with market trends.
When you do that well, profits start to fall into your lap (if you are patient).
Follow along as I break down these market trends and learn how to develop your own skills.

Gold Drops $200 in Hours – Panic or Opportunity? 📌 Gold Plunges $200 – Volatility Surges Amid Fed Signals and Market Panic 🔥📉
📰 What Just Happened?
Yesterday, gold (XAU/USD) experienced one of its sharpest intraday drops in recent months, tumbling from the all-time high around $3,500 to as low as $3,318, losing nearly $200 in just a few hours.
This marked a significant correction following an extended bullish trend.
🔍 Key Drivers Behind the Crash
Fed-related commentary spurred aggressive profit-taking across the market.
The USD staged a technical rebound, exerting downward pressure on gold.
Rapid sentiment shifts triggered panic selling and liquidation flows.
🧭 What’s Next for Gold?
The $3,300–3,320 zone is now a crucial support — if this level holds, a technical recovery could unfold.
However, a break below $3,300 may expose gold to deeper downside targets near $3,250.
⚠️ Strategic Considerations
This is a high-volatility environment — flexibility and strict risk management are key.
Current sentiment is fragile. Unpredictable political headlines and mixed Fed signals are adding to the uncertainty.
In the latest development, Trump clarified he has no intention to fire the Fed Chair and hinted that China’s tariffs could be eased slightly — but not eliminated. These mixed messages continue to create sharp swings in price.
📊 Trade Plan
🔻 SELL ZONE #1:
Entry: 3,378 – 3,380
Stop Loss: 3,384
Take Profits: 3,374 → 3,370 → 3,366 → 3,362 → 3,358 → 3,350
🔻 SELL ZONE #2:
Entry: 3,408 – 3,410
Stop Loss: 3,414
Take Profits: 3,404 → 3,400 → 3,396 → 3,392 → 3,386 → 3,380
🟢 BUY ZONE:
Entry: 3,292 – 3,290
Stop Loss: 3,286
Take Profits: 3,296 → 3,300 → 3,304 → 3,308 → 3,312 → 3,316 → 3,320
The priority remains to sell into rallies near resistance while the downtrend unfolds. All trades should be protected with tight stop-losses, given the current unpredictability.
🧠 Key Takeaways
This is not a market for guessing — wait for price confirmation at key zones.
Focus on reaction zones, not forecasts.
Stay light, stay nimble, and manage risk carefully — news-driven volatility is at its peak.

⚙️ Current Price Action
📍Price rejected perfectly from the 3260s → defended with strong wick, now reclaiming M15 internal CHoCH.
🟣 M5 showing micro BOS + reclaim of 9EMA → potential for bullish continuation toward 3320–3333.
⚠️ Flip Zone at 3380–3395 remains a major short-term decision level. If price breaks above it, we’ll be in recovery mode toward 3415.
🎯 Session Outlook
Buyers in control short-term if price holds above 3280.
Next key reaction expected at 3320–3333 minor resistance → if broken, bulls might retest 3385+.
Sellers may reengage hard at 3380–3395 or above (3422, 3455).
🧠 Smart Money Snapshot
🟢 Liquidity swept below 3280 = engineered low
🟠 Internal CHoCH on M5 confirmed → LTF bullish short-term
🔴 Next sell interest likely around 3385 or 3415 unless HTF flips bullish again
XAUUSD – News & Risk Preview for April 24, 2025
Claims & Chaos?🧨📉📈
🔍 What’s Coming:
🧾 Unemployment Claims (USD) – 14:30 UTC+2
➤ Expected spike in volatility. Watch for algo-driven whipsaws if numbers surprise (especially under 200k or above 250k).
➤ Low claims = strong USD = potential XAU drop.
🧠 Tactical Advice for Thursday:
Avoid full-size entries→ spikes can violate structure briefly before returning.
Focus on reaction-based trades: let price show direction after the event, then join.
Best plan: pre-mark levels now, react later.
🗣️ Final Note
This market update reflects structure-only precision, no emotional bias. If bulls want back in, 3280–3290 is the launchpad. If not, sellers are watching 3385+ like hawks. 🦅
