GOLD → Retest of 2050. Can the price go even higher?FX:XAUUSD is breaking through strong resistance and testing the 2050 area, favorably influenced by the fundamental background from Thursday. The market is trying to move into a bullish phase, but globally the price is held back by a huge sideways flat.
Idea from 29.02: GOLD → Consolidation is narrowing. The calm before the storm
On H4 we see the price trying to form a consolidation above the previously broken trend lines of resistance. Support at 2041 is now playing an important role. Since the opening of the session on Friday, gold tested this area with a false breakdown, after which a bullish impulse was formed and XAU is already testing the resistance 2048.
Img: Current situation: resistance breakout on H4
A break of this area will confirm the price going beyond the correction, which may help the upside to 2057-2060. But, a correction from 2048 is possible before a further rise to the above targets, and we should also pay attention to today's news. It is necessary to watch the price reaction to this zone.
Resistance Levels: 2047.8 - 2049, 2057
Support levels: 2044, 2041
I expect the growth to continue, because both technically and fundamentally, the market is pointing to it now. But, there may be a fall in the price if the structure of 2044-2041 is broken. In this case, the price may head towards the channel support

GOLD → Consolidation is narrowing. The calm before the storm FX:XAUUSD is holding strong, yesterday's economic news also supported the price. The price of metal forms numerous retests of resistance, as well as forms a pre-breakdown consolidation.
The complexity of the situation is that we have a very narrow range and within this range the market maker will gain liquidity by any means, but sometimes there are prerequisites that do not guarantee, but hint at a possible movement in one direction or another. Numerous retests of resistance and absence of fall after false breakdown of resistance with the subsequent return to the test and formation of pre-breakdown consolidation tell us that the market is ready for growth. But! Today is the news! Be careful!
A break of resistance and the level of 2037.1 will form a phase of realization, in this case the price can realize the impulse to 2044-2048. But, if the price falls and breaks 2031, the overall structure will be broken.
Resistance levels: 2037.1, trend resistance
Support levels: 2034, 2031
Strong consolidation is forming on H4. Breakout of one of the boundaries will form a strong impulse. Now there are prerequisites for the breakout of resistance, it will happen only if there is a signal for the breakout and further confirmation. We continue to wait

GOLD increased by weak USD and tensions in the Middle EastWorld gold prices increased with spot gold increasing by 10.7 USD to 2,034.9 USD/ounce. Gold futures last traded at 2,045.5 USD/ounce, up 14.5 USD compared to yesterday morning.
After a series of stable days, world gold increased on Friday thanks to the weakening of the USD and increased safe-haven buying due to concerns related to developments in the Middle East. The US Dollar Index recorded its first weekly decline in nearly two months, making bullion priced in greenbacks cheaper for overseas buyers.
Gold's recovery in the last trading session of this week was mainly due to the weakness of the greenback. Safe-haven buying also provided a boost to precious metals. However, gold's rise in recent times has been restrained by hawkish comments from US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials.
On Thursday this week, Fed Governor Christopher Waller emphasized that there will be "no rush" to make a decision to cut interest rates. This has reinforced investors' confidence that the US will delay loosening monetary policy until June.
In the minutes of the first policy meeting of 2024, most Fed policymakers expressed concern about the risks of cutting interest rates too soon. Recent data showing higher-than-expected U.S. producer and consumer prices also dashed speculation of an early interest rate cut and that added pressure on bullion.
GOLD likely to increase prices sharplyClosing the weekend trading session, world gold price stood at 2,035 USD/ounce, a sharp increase of 22 USD/ounce compared to last week's closing session. For the whole week, gold prices increased by 1.4%. The bulk of gold's gains came on Friday as the precious metal was boosted by safe-haven demand and weakness in the greenback.
In the context that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) continues to maintain its interest rate stance, most opinions believe that the gold market is expected to still face risks. However, gold may benefit when the US Central Bank delays loosening monetary policy. The longer the central bank delays, the greater the risk of policy mistakes. Although gold has struggled since the beginning of the year, this expert is still impressed by the strength of this precious metal.
GOLD price struggles for directionWith all the excitement this week for the US stock market, and Nvidia in particular, gold has been left on the sidelines waiting for a macro boost. Next week's economic calendar has a host of potential movers with next Wednesday's US Q4 GDP and Thursday's core PCE release the two most likely candidates for a boost. price action.
In recent weeks, the Federal Reserve has been discussing the need to curb excessive optimism regarding interest rate cuts. Initially, the markets predicted around 170 basis points of rate cuts for this year, starting in March. The Fed's plan for three cuts, beginning in the second half of the year, was initially seen as insufficient. However, their persistence and positive data releases have aligned market expectations. Currently, the market predicts a total of 83 basis points in cuts, with the first cut fully priced in for the July 31st meeting.
This paring of cut expectations has weighed slightly on gold, capping further upside. Gold has lost around $100/oz. this year and the weekly chart shows a negative trend still in play. A break below $1,984/oz. is needed to keep this trend in place. A break above $2,044/oz. brings $2,070/oz. back into focus.
GOLD Long Idea-This week I've had an overall bullish bias for Gold to head to the PWH after we put in a fractal swing low on the weekly, confluence with wicking below several weekly lows.
-Although today's Daily candle close isn't super strong, I'm still leaning towards looking for longs.
-Daily candle rejected from the Daily +OB again, and also failed to displace and close below Tuesdays Low.
-I am targeting Wednesdays high, and the PWW.
-I want to see H4/H1 discount arrays being respected, followed by a displacement entry confirmation on M15/M5.
GOLD confluent resistance stops the uptrendGold prices lost ground on Monday following a strong performance last Friday, pressured by rising U.S. Treasury yields - a situation that generally diminishes the appeal of the non-interest-bearing asset relative to fixed-income securities. In this context, XAU/USD finished the session around $2,030, slightly below a confluence resistance zone near $2,035.
Many investors appeared to adopt a wait-and-see approach on the precious metal at the start of the new week, refraining from making large directional bets for fear of being caught on the wrong side of the trade. This cautious sentiment was likely attributed to an important event on the U.S. economic calendar on Thursday: the release of the core PCE deflator, the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge.
Forecasts suggest January's core PCE increased 0.4% month-over-month, resulting in a slight deceleration of the annual reading from 2.9% to 2.8%. However, traders should brace for the possibility of an upside surprise in the data, echoing the trends observed in the CPI and PPI surveys disclosed earlier this month. This could inject volatility into financial markets.
XAUUSD: LH on the Channel Down formed.Gold has reached the top of the 4H Channel Down pattern, while the 4H MA50 and the 4H MA200 just formed a Golden Cross. Despite that, and as long as the 1D technical outlook isn't bullish (RSI = 54.450, MACD = -0.200, ADX = 28.783) but more importantly the price is inside the Channel Down, the sentiment remains bearish. The 4H RSI is on the same kind of Bearish Divergence as it was on all prior LH tops, which prompts to the strongest sell signal possible on the medium-term aimed at the S2 level (TP = 1,975), potentially a -3.95% decline as the last LL.

GOLD → The price is coming down again. New targets?FOREXCOM:XAUUSD does not reach the resistance zone. Another strong seller appears on the market. The market pressure is formed and the price of XAU forms a set-up that predicts further decline to the range support.
Today at 13:30 the US GDP will be published. Analysts expect GDP to decrease by 1.6%. But based on the general data there is a possibility that the data may be slightly higher than expected, if this happens, it is a positive scenario for the dollar, which will negatively affect the price of gold.
Technically, on H1 there is a strong density of resistance and the price breaks the support of the local ascending channel, which plunges the market into a negative phase. Before the news a correction to resistance may follow before further decline. At the moment the target may be the area of 2015 - 2008.
Resistance levels: 2031, 2034
Support levels: 2025.8, 2015, 2008
Gold is trading inside the range, the liquidity area on the resistance side has been tested, but the sellers are very aggressive on the background of the growing dollar. The gold price is heading towards the support and there is a high enough chance to see a retest of the lower levels.

GOLD → Retest of liquidity area before further decline FOREXCOM:XAUUSD is forging a local trend after a small correction on Monday. At the moment, as the prices are trading inside the flat, the target is the area of 2044-2048, from which a decline may follow.
On D1 we see two key figures, which play an important role at the moment - resistance 2048 and the descending price channel, which characterizes the whole market at the moment. The price has been heading towards the target 2044-2048 since the opening of the session on Tuesday and with a high probability, within the descending price channel, a retest of the resistance may follow and a false breakout may be formed. Against the background of this movement we have no clear preconditions for resistance breakout, therefore, against the background of flat and descending channel I am waiting for the realization of the scenario "false breakout of resistance with the subsequent price decline to support"
Resistance levels: 2044, 2048
Support levels: channel support, 2025
The global role is played by the flat. Within the flat a bearish channel is formed on D1. That is, based on this set-up we can assume that we have a neutral-negative mood. Consequently, after retesting the liquidity area, the price may form a correction to the support

XAUUSD BEARISH PROBABILITY hello guys ,
i think xauusd is bearish the market structure on high time frames is brearish todays candle closed as an inverted hammer tommorow will probably be a red candle add to that the price formed a double top pattern the break out of the trendline + key level will cause a price to make a lower low lower then 1980 .
DXY has a massive inverted head and shoulder so a positive addition to our technical analysis .
keep in mind a bullish probability is possible too a break out of the trendline will cause a run towards 2050.
but i am bearish !
XAUUSD One more bearish leg left to 1930.Gold (XAUUSD) maintains its Channel Down status since last December and so far has established the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) as the current Support having been nearly tested 2 weeks ago. The current analysis is on the 1W time-frame, which offers a highly reliable long-term outlook.
As you can see Gold has been on a highly symmetrical 4-year Channel Up pattern (since December 2019) with the recent top (week of December 04 2023) being the latest Higher High. Even though the natural technical target on such pattern is the bottom of the Channel (0.236 Fibonacci retracement level), it is more likely for the downtrend to stop on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), which is headed straight for the 0.786 horizontal Fib, which has also been a standard target within this pattern.
For us, since there is a Higher Lows trend-line coming straight from the October 31 2022 bottom involved, we will initially target that on the medium-term, on a 193 target and then see if we can short again upon a rebound if the downtrend remains intact.

GOLD → Resistance Retest. What are the chances of a FB?FOREXCOM:XAUUSD is forming a correction and testing strong downward resistance formed from 2150. The chances of a breakout are a little less than a false breakout, which, at this point in time, we are betting on.
On the senior timeframe we can clearly see that the price is testing a strong resistance area. There is no clear trend, something similar to a descending triangle is forming with the boundaries: descending resistance and support area 1980-2000.
Technically, even the imposed sanctions on Friday did not show a proper market reaction. On the background of high rates and tight Fed policy, the gold market is still under the pressure of sellers. It is still worth emphasizing 2038.15 and the downside resistance. False breakout and price consolidation below these lines, followed by a downward breakout at 2031.16 may form a price decline to the support of the 2021-2015 range.
Resistance levels: red line, 2038, 2042
Support levels: 2031, 2021, 2015
At the moment we are betting on the formation of a false breakdown, as there are more preconditions for this than for the price to break this area. The market is still in a global flat

GOLD → New reasons for the growing interest in goldFOREXCOM:XAUUSD strengthened last week and closed with +1.2% at 2035.375. Price returns to the flat range that is forming within the uptrend.
Let's move a bit away from the local situation and take a look at the global chart. The global uptrend with variable trends indicates a rather huge interest from buyers, which is not subsiding. The pressure on the resistance, which restrains the growth beyond 2100 continues to increase and most likely in the medium term there will be continued attempts to break through 2075 - 2100 and further strengthening towards 2300-2500.
As for the range. The market continues to form a global flat on the background of the Fed's tough policy. Buyers are holding back all attempts to fall, which bears are trying to forge on the background of negative news for gold.
Let's pay attention to Friday, February 23: Gold receives an unexpected inflow of funds due to the sanctions imposed by the U.S., Canada, the UK and European countries against Russia, the former CIS countries and Asian countries. Against the backdrop of a possible crisis, money is looking for a safe haven and is finding it in gold. Accordingly, the interest to the metal is growing and most likely the price will continue its growth to higher highs.
Expectations for the coming week: Flat is forming on D1, after realizing the potential relative to the range support the market gets a target in the form of flat resistance. Important levels are shown on the screenshots above. Fundamentally, the gold market is still under the pressure of sellers, but at the same time the interest in the metal, against the background of geopolitical crisis is growing, which favorably affects the price. In the medium term it is worth considering to prioritize buying, because technically and fundamentally the situation has shifted a bit, but we should not forget that there are no trend rules inside the flat. Price is moving between levels.
Resistance levels: 2044.6, 2060, 2065.46
Support levels: Fibo: 0.618, 0.5, 0.382

GOLD rising, confluent resistance is about to appearGold rose for the fourth straight session on Tuesday (+0.50% to $2,027), holding above the $2,025 mark, supported by falling US Treasury yields and a weaker US dollar. The same risk aversion on Wall Street is likely to support the metal's rally.
Considering the recent gains, XAU/USD is up over 2% from last week's low near $1,985 after higher-than-expected US inflation figures. Despite the positive performance, the direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy may limit gold price increases in the near term, so caution is warranted.
At the beginning of 2024, the prospects for gold bullion look brighter with the assumption that the Fed will take aggressive easing steps this year. However, overly dovish expectations have subsided due to strong US labor market data and stagnant deflation progress.
Traders may continue to reduce dovish speculation on the FOMC if incoming information continues to reflect economic strength and strong price pressures. This is because these two factors could encourage policymakers to delay the start of the easing cycle and reduce the magnitude of further rate cuts.
There are no major events on the US economic calendar in the coming days, but next week January PCE figures will be released. This report is poised to explain the latest inflation dynamics and provide insight into the Fed's next steps, so traders should keep an eye on it.
GOLD is waiting for salary data and hearingsWorld gold prices are waiting for salary data and the hearing of the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in early March.
At 8:40 a.m. this morning, February 22, Vietnam time, the world gold price stood at 2,027 USD/ounce, a slight increase of 2 USD/ounce compared to the same time last morning.
In the short term, world gold prices may move sideways. World gold prices are waiting for salary data and the hearing of the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in early March.
Fed officials noted that inflationary pressures eased and economic activity remained strong. According to the minutes, the committee wants more evidence to show that inflation continues to fall to the target level of 2% before making a decision to loosen monetary policy.
It is forecasted that gold will likely continue to move sideways in the short term and the information the market is waiting for will be the personal consumption expenditure (PCE) report published next week, followed by the payroll and regulatory session. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's testimony in Congress in early March.
Tonight, the US continues to release the purchasing management index for the manufacturing, services, and mixed sectors and the first unemployment benefit applications of the week. This will be the data for the Fed to assess the health of the economy. These will be data that impact gold prices in the short term.
GOLD the upward trend in the price of the dollar remains stableMarket participants are looking forward to the release of core PCE data next week, which is expected to cause volatility in the FX market. Consensus estimates forecast a 0.4% rise in January, bringing the annual rate down to 2.7%. Traders should prepare for a potential surprise similar to last week's CPI and PPI reports.
Stiff price pressures in the economy, along with solid job creation and strong wage growth, could force the Fed to delay the start of its policy easing cycle until the second half of the year, resulting in little adjustment once the process is underway. A scenario like this could push interest rate expectations in a more hawkish direction compared to their current status.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF GOLD PRICES
Gold edged up on Thursday but encountered resistance around $2,030, a key resistance zone where a falling trendline aligns with the 50-day simple moving average. Sellers must defend this area strongly to prevent the bulls from reasserting their dominance; failure to do so could result in an increase towards $2,065.
On the other hand, if sentiment turns in favor of sellers and the price starts to pull back, support can be identified at $2,005, positioned near the 100-day simple moving average. Further downside pressure may put $1,990 in focus, followed by $1,995.
GOLD → Negative fundamental background and support retest FOREXCOM:XAUUSD , as we expected, is declining. False breakdown of 2031, retest of global resistance and negative fundamental background leads to the price losing 0.9% from the local high.
There is little news today, the fundamental backdrop for gold persists, as does the outflow of GOLD-ETFs from the market, which is a generally negative scenario. The dollar continues to strengthen, as well as forming a candlestick pattern that confirms the general policy.
Technically, gold is testing 2015 and may form a rebound to 2020-2025, after which the market may wait for a retest of 2015-2016 with the aim of breaking the support and further decline to the mentioned targets. Both technically and fundamentally, the overall picture suggests further price decline.
Resistance levels: 2021.5, 2027
Support levels: 2015, 2010, 2000, 1995
The situation is generally bearish. The fundamental background and TA determine for us the medium-term potential, which is directed towards the realization of the movement to 2000-1990

GOLD → Retest of a previously broken level. Panic zone FOREXCOM:XAUUSD is testing local levels in the correction phase and heading towards descending triangle resistance. There are several strong levels crossing in the area of 2035-2037. What to expect from the price?
The price is in the correction phase testing the symmetrical triangle resistance as well as the previously broken ascending support line. Technically, gold is in a stalemate situation, as well as in the selling zone. The crossing area of strong levels is at 2035-2040.
Most likely, before a possible further fall, the price may test 2035-2040 with a false breakout. But, there is news ahead and we should not forget about their nature of unpredictability.
Resistance levels: 2035, 2037, 2040
Support levels: 2030, 2020, 2016
Fundamentally, gold is weaker against the dollar. Technically, we have no trend, only flat. There is news ahead and on the background of the news, I expect that the price may continue to fall after the correction phase. Targets remain the same

GOLD nudges higher in early tradeUS equity and bond markets are closed for the day – US Presidents’ Day holiday – and this will weigh on market activity across a range of asset classes. Activity over the rest of the week should pick up with FOMC minutes, the release of the February PMIs, and chip-giant Nvidia’s earnings all worthy of attention. In addition, a handful of Fed speakers will give their latest thoughts on the economy, and maybe a steer on the future path of US interest rates.
The precious metal is continuing last week’s move despite hotter-than-expected US CPI and PPI data. Market rate-cut expectations continue to be pared back with the first cut now seen at the June meeting with a total of 90 basis points of cuts priced in for this year. In late December, the market forecast the first cut at the March meeting and expected a total of 175 basis points of cuts.
We noted last week that gold was heavily oversold using the CCI indicator – see the story at the top of this article – and this weakness is currently being reversed. A move higher will find initial resistance from the 20-dsma at $2,023/oz. and ta prior level of horizontal resistance, and the 50-dsma around $2,033/oz. Initial support at $2,000/oz. ahead of $1,987/oz.
XAUUSD Channel Down is about to top.Gold has been trading within a Channel Down pattern since the December 28 2023 High. The price is at the moment around the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) and close to completing a +2.84% rise, which is the usual Bullish Leg % within this pattern and currently falls just below the 2045 Resistance.
The 4H RSI is already on the same Bearish Divergence that priced the Highs of February 01 2024 and December 28 2023. As a result, we are turning bearish again on the short-term, targeting the top of the long-term Support Zone at 1985.

GOLD - Price tests resistance ahead of FOMC meetingOANDA:XAUUSD is testing 2030 and forming a false breakdown. Today the market is waiting for news from the FOMC , where they are likely to discuss inflation, interest rate and may make some statements. At this time the metal price is forming the range of 2030 - 2016
Globally, gold is flat as investors are confused by the US market regulators. But, interest in the metal is still high from the Central Bank, at the same time the GOLD-ETF is caught up in a wave of sell-offs due to the Fed's sharp statement last week about a possible interest rate cut in summer instead of spring.
Technically, gold may head towards 2020, 2016 support from resistance. But, at the time of news, the price may test 2029 and 2037 before further correction to these targets.
Resistance levels: 2029, 2037
Support levels: 2020, 2016, 2004
The market is neutral and the price is moving between strong levels. Most likely, on the background of the FOMC speech, the price may again form a bearish correction after the resistance retest.

GOLD → Growth towards the liquidity area. False breakdown?OANDA:XAUUSD on high timeframes continues to form a sideways movement, but at the same time is in the selling zone. The market is still under pressure from the negative fundamental background.
There is almost no news today, US Leading Index is published at 15:00 GMT and in general, analysts expect bearish data for the dollar.
Gold is in panic zone on H1. The price is trying to go outside the descending channel while the US market is resting. Technically, the MarketMaker has an interest to rise to the area of 2029, as there is a rather large pool of liquidity hiding there.
On the background of a possible strong distribution may form a retest of resistance in the format of a false breakdown, which would mark a further decline from 2029 to 2020-2016.
BUT, consolidation above 2029 will give confirmation of local trend change within the global flat.
Resistance levels: 2023, 2029, 2037
Support levels: 2020, 2016, 2010
A rise towards 2029 may soon follow, a quick move up will allow to reach the liquidity area. But because of this distribution we have a high chance to see a false breakdown of 2029 with further decline to support
