XAU/USD Gold short from 2,360 back downThis week, I'm anticipating a bearish drop. I have a clean 12-hour supply zone that has caused a break of structure to the downside. At the start of the week, I expect the price to move towards this zone. If not, we might see a small reaction from the 2-hour zone, leading the price up to the 12-hour supply.
Once the price reaches the 12-hour zone, I'll look for a Wyckoff distribution to form on the lower time frame, then sell the price back down to target the liquidity below, which I have identified as trendline liquidity.
Confluences for GOLD Sellls are as follows:
- Price has been breaking down and confirmed with a BOS on the higher time frame.
- Lots of liquidity below in the form of asia lows and trendline liquidity.
- price is near a good supply zone that has caused a break of structure.
- ATH's was taken and enough liq for price to move back down.
- This trade idea is along the with the current bearish trend.
P.S. If the price breaks this 12-hour supply zone, I will wait for the mitigation of the 2-day supply zone.

THE KOG REPORTKOG REPORT:
In last week’s KOG Report we said we said the correction in gold was likely going to be profit taking and we were not ready to suggest it’s bearish as yet. We suggested that resistance may hold during the early part of the week and if it did, we felt the opportunity to short the market back down into 2330-35 and below that 2310-2295 would be available. We said these are the levels we wanted to see the RIPs, and would represent opportunities to long the market back up in to the levels we had given, and for us into Excalibur targets sitting higher. As you can see, apart from the extension of the move into 2310, we got our move again upside giving us another phenomenal week on Gold in Camelot.
Towards the end of the week, we gave traders the higher levels in which to look for the short trades, and again, perfect level to level trading implemented giving us the move down, then in Camelot, 2375 held for us to take it up again closing of the week. Great work by the team not only on Gold, but the numerous other pairs we trade.
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
We wanted to see if they could close this above the 2400 level which failed on Friday, so even though we’ve been saying it for a couple of weeks, we’re going to play caution again on long trades unless we get a really significant pullback on Gold. We have the resistance level 2395-2404 which is holding the price down at the moment with support 2375 giving us the bias bullish above. However, for this week, we’re expecting them to attempt to break that high at some point and rather than taking long trades into the higher levels, we’ll be looking to capture another decent short trade from higher up.
So, on open if we see support hold, traders could be presented with the opportunity to level to level long up into the 2404, 2410 and above that 2414-20 regions. We would suggest it is level to level with trades protected as soon as is viable and partials taken along the way. It may also be an idea to leave small runners with an open TP into the extension level 2340-55 which we’re identifying this week as an order region. It’s these levels where we’ll be looking for RIPs based on the set up if it is presented to short the market back down, with the view that we have potential to break below the 2375 price point.
Please note, breaking and holding above 2404-6 is needed for us to target those higher levels.
On the flip, although structure looks like we’re going higher, this range is confusing traders, not only getting them stuck mid-way but also whipsawing them into cutting and taking their stops. There is a small indication of a move down, but it’s not as significant as we would like at the moment, so we will say, if they do push this down, 2370-75 is the key support level which will need to break for us to go lower.
KOG’s bias for the week:
Bullish above 2370-5 with targets above 2404 and above that 2414
Bearish on break of 2370 with targets below 2355 and below that 2342
It's a simple on this week, caution is needed on the markets, so many traders are treating this like we’re in normal everyday market conditions as they haven’t experienced anything else.

THE KOG REPORT - Update (what a day on Gold)End of day update from us here at KOG:
Following on from the KOG Report published yesterday, what a move on Gold, point to point, level to level, as we like it here at KOG. Early session straight into support giving the short, then the RIP which was expected straight into the order region, and to top it off, the RIP from the order region for the short. Pip capture, unbelievable! We've been using the red box strategy for the rest of the move which has given us opportunities to capture the scalps 50-60pips a go in between.
To be honest, that should be the week all done and dusted in terms of trading.
So, what now?
We have immediate support below 2315-10 which will need a forceful break to go lower, otherwise, any attempt on support could result in another RIP to take away the liquidity now sitting above 2350! For that reason, unless you're already short from the region given and protected, caution on shorting low in this range unless we confirm the break. Resistance now stands at 2330-35 with a break taking us higher before we then attempt to target lower pricing again. They're not going to make it easy, so stay disciplined and control lot sizes, the trade will come!

THE KOG REPORT THE KOG REPORT:
In last week’s KOG Report, what can we said during the early part of the week we wouldn’t be looking to long the market, instead, we would look for a high to form and then short the market back down in to 2230 and below that 2220. We got the short into the initial levels which is where we suggested during the week that traders take the trades and wait for a RIP. We gave the bias level targets as bullish above 2220 and long trades to be take into 2250 and above that 2286 on the bounces, which as you can completed. Then came NFP and the long trade from the support level, again giving us a great capture enabling us to have traded this down and then up again level to level almost pip to pip entry and exit.
Please be aware, these levels are not small captures, you only need to look at the chart posted to see the distance that has been covered in this play.
Great week for us in Camelot, not only on Gold, but on the numerous other pairs we trade. Hit rate was amazing, pip capture through the roof!
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
Quick and simple KOG Report this week. Caution again on going long too high up as any movement like we’ve seen in the opposite direction will not give you time to manage your trades. Keep your lot sizes in check and make sure you're risk model is up to scratch. This is no normal market, we're in unprecedented times and markets reacting in extremes!
For this week, we’re looking at a potential stretch on gold so please be careful! These levels are to be tested, but one more little move to the upside to get the ideal entry would be perfect for us. So, we have the initial resistance right here on the close 2230-35, if held there is an opportunity to short the market back down into support regions 2310-05 which is where we want to see what happens and look for a potential RIP. A break here is what is needed for the price to continue downside, otherwise one more swing higher into the order region 2345-50 could be available which is where the ideal short may come from! Longs higher up are risky as the turn can be sudden and will leave traders left hanging a region where data is lacking, so caution please unless you’re scalping for quick captures from the intra-day levels we posts as well as the red boxes.
Use the levels on the chart and use the intra-day levels, don't marry the trade, don't marry the position. When you trade like this, it doesn't matter where the market goes, you trade it, take what it gives and come back again when your set up is right.
It’s really as simple as that this week, price goes up into our levels, we want to test the shorts, comes down we’ll either test the longs, or wait for the potential stretch and then short it from higher up.
KOGs bias for the week:
Bearish below 2350 with targets below 2310 and below that 2280
Bullish again on break of 2350 with targets above 2365 and above that 2372
Range in play – Support 2255 / Resistance 2372

Gold Sell Today Spot Gold remains confined to a tight intraday range on Wednesday, hovering around the $2,155 mark. The US Dollar advanced throughout the first half of the day but reversed gains with Wall Street’s opening as investors await the United States (US) Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision. The central bank is widely anticipated to keep rates on hold, with investors focusing on whether the dot pot or Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) will still suggest three rate cuts this year as it did in March.
GOLD ATH TAKEN - BEARISH TREND INCOMING!?This week's outlook on gold is intriguing given its recent high volatility and activity, reaching all-time highs. With liquidity now absorbed to the upside, I anticipate a shift in price direction towards the downside. This could signify the exhaustion of bullish momentum and the formation of a Wyckoff distribution pattern.
In response, I'll be observing for a pullback, although there aren't any valid supply zones yet. Instead, I'll wait for price to retrace to a demand zone, providing an opportunity to buy back up towards a new supply zone. While my bias remains bullish for now, I'm prepared for a minor pullback before considering potential selling opportunities.
Confluences for GOLD Sells are as follows:
- Bullish pressure is getting exhausted and I anticipate a wyckoff distribution to occur soon.
- ATH was taken which is a very strong point of liquidity which is enough to see a shift in trend.
- Price has left lots of imbalances below in which price needs to fill.
- There parabolic movement to the upside requires a pullback which hasn't yet occurred.
- Lots of liquidity below like asian lows that need to get taken as well.
P.S. Once price shifts its behavior on the higher time frame and breaks structure to the downside, I'll be more inclined to pursue selling opportunities and align my trades with the prevailing trend. However, for the time being, we should anticipate price consolidation and a gradual decrease in bullish momentum.
XAUUSD Shorts from 2030.000 down towards 1990.000My outlook for gold this week leans bearish, and I'm on the lookout for nearby shorting opportunities to drive the price towards the daily demand zone. Presently, I'm eyeing a clear 5-hour supply zone as a potential selling point. I'll be patient, waiting for a Wyckoff distribution pattern to unfold within this area before considering entry for my sell positions.
The presence of this supply zone has triggered a slight shift in momentum to the downside and left an imbalance, indicating its strength. However, I'm mindful of the trendline liquidity above the zone, which might attract price action to breach it, possibly prompting a reaction from the 22-hour supply zone above.
Confluences for GOLD Shorts are as follows:
- Price is approaching a 5hr supply zone that has caused a CHOCH to the downside.
- Theres an imbalance below that needs filling as well as some liquidity that can be taken.
- Zone also lies within the 0.78 fib range and price is also at a psychological level of 2030.
- Theres lots of liquidity to the downside that needs to be swept as well as an imbalance.
- Price has been moving temporarily bearish short term so this is pro trend idea.
- sentimental analysis also shows that gold is bearish as well.
P.S.While I hold a temporary bearish stance and focus on the 5-hour supply zone, I'm also considering the possibility of price declining without touching my zone to break its structure and reach the daily demand area. In such a scenario, I'll be on the lookout for buying opportunities to ride the upward movement.
XAUUSD (BEAR TO BULL) BLUEPRINTXau has created a mitigation zone at the 2040's, a new weekly candle formed as its the beginning of a new week ( its an initial bearish movement on the liquidity sweep below) till the 1990's and then we go bullish
BOOST 🚀, COMMENT 📑 and FOLLOW 🏷 for more helpful analysis 👍 ....
XAUUSD Shorts from 2050.000 down towards 1990.000This week's perspective on gold is quite interesting, considering the recent break to the downside. The current retracement, triggered by a reaction from an imbalance, has my attention focused on the 22-hour supply zone. This particular zone played a significant role in causing the downward break.
Given that price has cleared liquidity from its all-time highs, there's potential for a continued downtrend. Therefore, I'm patiently waiting for a Wyckoff distribution to unfold within the 22-hour supply zone. The goal is to capture selling opportunities, anticipating a move back down towards a robust daily demand zone where I expect a bullish reaction to occur.
Confluences for gold Sells are as follows:
- Price has recently broken structure to the downside on the higher time frame.
- ATHs of the chart got swept, enough liquidity to generate a bearish trend.
- Theres still imbalances below to fill as well as a daily demand that needs mitigating.
- Price formed a clean 22hr supply zone that has caused this BOS to happen and in the 0.78 fib range.
- Even if price wants to maintain a bullish trend it must come down to mitigate a demand.
- Sentiment analysis also suggests gold to be bearish.
P.S. While I'm currently bearish, there's a possibility that this could unfold as a temporary move toward a more favourable demand zone. This scenario might set the stage for a continuation of the bullish trend on the higher time frame. However, my immediate focus is on seeking selling opportunities to drive the price back down.
Have a great trading week ahead and let's catch some pips!
XAU/USD Shorts from 2077.000 down towards 2032.000My Gold forecast for this week anticipates a temporary bearish move to clear the liquidity below. With the bullish pressure fading and a shift in character to the downside, there are indications of a brief bearish phase. Given the substantial liquidity below, I expect a descent towards 2032, where a 19hr demand zone is located.
Currently, my strategy involves waiting for a minor upward movement to facilitate a redistribution within my 10hr supply zone. Subsequently, I will explore selling opportunities from that point. Since this entails a counter-trend trade, I'll exercise caution and seek additional confirmation, such as a Break of Structure (BOS), to ascertain that the market is ready for a bearish trajectory.
Confluences for Gold sells are as follows:
- Price has changed character to the downside and has left unmitigated 10hr supply zone.
- Lots of liquidity to the downside in the form of trend line liquidity and Asian lows.
- Price has been moving very bullish recently and is due for a correction.
- If price wants to continue in a bullish direction I expect for price to tap into the 19hr demand.
- Price has recently reacted off a 2hr supply which initiated a downward trend.
P.S. As this is a short-term perspective, my overall outlook for this market remains bullish. I anticipate that price will continue its upward momentum, but it needs to retrace to a more favorable level before embarking on another rally. Hence, I expect a drop to reach and interact with a 19hr demand zone, serving as a potential catalyst for another bullish rally.
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL OF YOU AND HOPE THIS YEAR BRING EVERYONE PROFITABILITY AND CONSISTENCY. LETS CATCH THESE PIPS!
Bearish on Gold (14/06/2023)Important financial data: PPI will be announced this morning (8:30 AM New York time), EIA U.S. crude oil inventory data (10:30 AM New York time), and at 2 PM the major U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate decision will be released, with a 99% probability that the rate hike will be paused.
Fundamentals:
• The Biden administration is preparing to provide depleted uranium bombs (potentially exacerbating the risk of prolonging the war), and there are opinions that the Biden administration needs to resolve the Russo-Ukrainian war within this year because there will be a general election next year.
• The May CPI has seen an eleven-month consecutive decline, mainly due to a significant drop in energy, with reports showing that energy prices have dropped by 11.7% compared to the same period last year, and energy fell by 3.6% last month.
These are some personal summaries and should not be taken as investment advice. Investing involves risks, and caution is advised when entering the market.
As we all know, the U.S. has been releasing strategic crude oil reserves, and for the U.S., which is at war every day, having a low strategic oil reserve is definitely not viable. They should consider buying when crude oil is below 70, so pay special attention to this morning's EIA U.S. crude oil reserves. Personally, I think in the coming weeks, the increase in U.S. demand for crude oil coupled with further cuts by OPEC could continue to push up the price of crude oil. I estimate it could rise to at least 75-80. The rising trend in oil will definitely put pressure on the upcoming U.S. CPI data. If the CPI rebounds, the Fed may start raising interest rates again, and then gold can be more bullish at a lower level. But at this stage, I estimate that gold will likely remain bearish in the short term.
Gold: I have placed a short at 1955, with a profit target of around 1930, and a stop loss at 1960, as there is data this morning, I've set a more conservative stop loss.
Crude Oil: I think there's nothing wrong with a bullish view, so I'll place a long at 69.8 and see if it can reach it after this morning's pullback.
Gold is under Pressure 29/10/2022General Commentary: on 21 Oct 2022 gold rose more than 3% to our OB again #1,663.27 - #1,672.42 which we have set our sell order after the price action triggered from #1,670.00 towards #1,657 on a satisfactory #13 point profit run, the market has created more OB at #1,670.09 - #1,665.25 which the Change of Structure has appeared, we have opened our sell order at Re-Sell zone towards to #1,651.22 on a satisfactory #16 point profit run.
Next Position: The news is big next week and we have 2 scenarios to create a profitable setup, either gold will retest again zone #1,656.93 - #1,660.99 and we will re-sell again from our bearish Order Block, Or Gold will go down towards #1,617.10 - #1,627.18 and we will wait to retest again to enter our Sell Order.
Note: Gold is under heavy selling pressure, and we do not buy the retest, we wait for the retest to happen then we follow the market trend :).

A GREAT WEEK WAITING US ON GOLD!!Keep you eyes on gold this weekend, as you can see the xauusd has been under a trend line since the 9th of march on bullish movement. The 4th of august, the market broke the trend line, and started a "probably pullback" on the trend line.
SO NOW WHAT CAN WE WAIT FOR?
There is two probabilties, the market may break down that trend line again and go all the way down to the last level drawn in green, or the market can do the opposit, which is more likely to happen, by doing a pullback on the trend line, and around the 1736 level and then go all the way up.
And the Fibonnacci, will help me take my decision to make a better entry!
Personnaly, i'll be waiting for a good entry on the level mentioned before (1736), and then go long on gold.
XAUUSD - Massive Double Tops, Final Support ApproachingAs mentioned in my previous idea I published about Gold, bears are totally in control of the XAUUSD market. As it appears on the price chart, we have entire pandemic and post pandemic period covered in massive double tops. As circumstances have approached to normalcy all around the world, fears of uncontrolled inflation has triggered the response of Feds in terms of drastically increasing interest rates on public debt.
USD is one of the top performing currencies globally today for the last few months (almost since the beginning of war). Metals have taken serious impact from the strengthening USD and exhibiting a strong bearish trend.
As far as chart analysis is concerned, the last nail in the coffin of people holding gold long is the support level of 1680, if this holds, there might be a chance of a bullish revival but if it does not, we are looking at a price of 15xx on gold (target zone 1) and possibly 11xx as target zone 2. It will not rest as long as FEDs do not give it a break on the their Hawkish policies to fight inflation.
As for the trading advice, do not hustle to conclusions around 1680, let the market decide about this level and enter accordingly. However, considering the circumstances, selling is a sure shot on metals. But still wait for the support (1680) to break, as a responsible trader.
