Will the gold market cool down after the easing of tariffs betweIf you want to use one word to describe the performance of the global financial market in the 2025 quarter, then in addition to the roller coaster, there is another word that will be particularly applicable: "safe haven is king".
After Trump launched the tariff storm, this directly pushed the gold price to a historical high, setting the strongest quarterly performance since 1986; and the increase in tariffs led to frequent surges in gold, and after the tariffs were eased, gold also experienced a sharp correction, and this week's gold market was very lively. The price of gold is like a roller coaster ride, making countless investors love and hate it.
Quaid's analysis:
Gold is adjusted in the short term, and it is still bullish in the long term.
In the short term, the US has a high voice for trade negotiations, the market risk appetite has rebounded, and Trump has forced the Federal Reserve to slow down. The independence of the Federal Reserve has been temporarily maintained. The short-term upward trend of gold prices may be weak, and the medium- and long-term bullish trend has not changed. The price adjustment space is also limited. In the short term, it is expected that the gold price will be mainly volatile and consolidated. Continue to pay attention to the progress of Sino-US trade negotiations and Trump's policy trends.
The long-term bullish view remains unchanged; the expectation of stagflation in the United States and the increase in the probability of recession if the Federal Reserve continues not to cut interest rates are the logic of medium-term bullish gold, and the continued cycle of US dollar credit contraction is the core support for long-term bullish gold.
There is no international explosive news for the weekend, and Donald Trump has not made any radical remarks for the time being. Quaid has no operational suggestions for the time being, and can only analyze based on the market trading situation this week. I hope to help everyone understand the current market situation and long-term analysis.
Quaid will continue to pay attention to international news and Mr. President's remarks in order to bring you real-time market analysis and suggestions at any time.

GOLD → Gold Market Forecast and AnalysisFor most of the period from 2025 to now, gold prices have risen almost continuously, hitting new all-time highs. Since October 2022, gold prices have almost doubled, rising by more than 25% in 2025 alone, reaching a new all-time high of $3,500 per ounce on April 22. The $4,000 price level, once considered untouchable, is now openly discussed in trading halls around the world.
The easing of global tensions, especially between the United States and China or in Eastern Europe, could significantly reduce safe-haven demand.
While this is not the base case for 2025, it is still an unexpected risk that traders must consider. In fact, gold prices have retreated from recent highs after US President Trump hinted that tariffs on China might be reduced.
The sharp rise in gold prices increases the possibility of a correction. If the upward momentum slows, profit-taking could trigger a rapid and violent sell-off. As with any parabolic rise, volatility is inevitable; prices often experience a short-term downward trend before setting new all-time highs. Traders with short-term strategies should be aware of such price declines and practice risk management: avoid large trades, set stop-losses, and diversify their portfolios.
Quaid wants to say:
Opportunities always come to those who dare to act. Be bold in the gold market, and the next winner will be you, my friend.
The gold weekly line is about to close and the short position coThe downward trend remains unchanged!
At the same time, after the current decline in gold, traders who have positions above should pay attention that the early morning rebound cannot exceed the stage pressure of 3292-3300. The larger the rebound, the weaker the downward momentum. After a continuous decline, the 3260 position can be seen below. After breaking, the 3230 point needs to be paid special attention to below. This is the golden section position of 50% retracement since the rise from 2956 to 3500 in this round. It is also a multiple resonance area in the trading concentration area. After reaching this point, traders who hold short positions should consider being more cautious.
Gold-----Buy near 3311, target 3340-3360Gold market analysis:
Gold has been volatile these two days. We said that we can buy and sell in the operational analysis, but in fact, it is more difficult. Think about it from another perspective. Intercepting it is a counter-trend transaction. Although the position you intercept is support, or even the low point of the shock, the possibility of it breaking is also increasing. In the past two days, the gold daily line has been a combination of one Yin and one Yang, and buying and selling have begun to fluctuate in structure. Today's idea is that we must first rely on yesterday's shock low point to go bullish on the big trend. Short-term operations need to chase, the amplitude is large, and the profit is also large. Today is Friday, plus the daily adjustment of the daily line, the weekly line also needs to close. Buying is expected to rise in the evening and the European and American sessions, but the Asian session will still fluctuate. The Asian session will intercept up and down. Pay attention to the closing of the weekly line today. If the weekly line cannot be closed today, selling will begin next week.

Intercepting it is a counter-trend transaction. Although the position you intercept is support, or even the low point of the shock, the possibility of it breaking is also increasing. In the past two days, the gold daily line has been matched with one Yin and one Yang, and the buying and selling have begun to fluctuate in structure. Today's idea is that we must first rely on yesterday's shock low point to go bullish on the big trend. Short-term operations need to chase, the amplitude is large, and the profit is also large.

Pay attention to the closing of the weekly line today. If the weekly line cannot be closed today, selling will begin next week.
In the Asian session, we focus on the large range of 3311-3360. The low point is 3305. The Asian session 3305-3311 is a super support and suppression position. The high point of yesterday's rebound was 3344. This position is a small suppression position in the Asian session. The rebound high point of the Asian session 3370 is estimated to be a big suppression in the Asian session. The hourly pattern suppression position is 3353-3360. The Asian session range is out, and we can operate well. If the Asian session does not break 3305, we will see a structural rebound at night. If it breaks, we will sell.
Support 3311-3305, suppression position 3344, strong pressure 3353-3360, and the watershed of strength and weakness in the market is 3330.
Fundamental analysis:
It's Friday again. The US dollar has fallen continuously and gold has risen continuously. The fundamentals and data released have long supported gold to suppress the US dollar.
Operation suggestions:
Gold-----Buy near 3311, target 3340-3360
4.25 gold short-term operation technical analysis!Spot gold suddenly fell sharply during the Asian session on Friday (April 25). At the end of the session, the current gold price was around $3,307/ounce, a plunge of more than $40 during the day.
Gold prices turned lower on Friday as hopes of a trade deal between China and the United States weakened safe-haven assets. The positive risk tone weakened the demand for safe-haven assets. In addition, optimistic US macroeconomic data on Thursday supported the dollar, which also hit gold prices.
Cleveland Fed President Hammack made it clear in an interview on Thursday that the Federal Reserve has basically ruled out the possibility of a rate cut in May. But she also released key information that if there is clear evidence of the direction of the economy, there is room for policy action in June.
Gold prices are currently supported near the $3,300/ounce mark, which is also the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of gold prices from this month's low (around $2,950/ounce) The latest round of gains is located.
If gold price falls below the $3300/oz mark, the next support for gold price is the weekly low near the $3260/oz area; if it falls below the above area, gold price may accelerate its decline and fall to the 50% retracement level (i.e. the area near $3225/oz) and finally fall to the $3200/oz mark. Some follow-up selling will indicate that gold has peaked and turn the short-term bias in favor of bearish traders.
Gold price resistance is around the $3368-3370/oz area, which should be a key level now. If it breaks through the above area, gold price may return to the $3400/oz mark. The subsequent rise may push gold price further to the $3425-3427/oz barrier. Once this barrier is overcome, bulls may retry to conquer the psychological $3500/oz mark.
Interpretation of 4.25 Gold Short-term Operation IdeasFrom the technical analysis of the hourly market, yesterday's low was at $3,306, and the rebound just now showed an obvious stop signal at this position. Based on this, the current short-term suppression level can refer to $3,315, and the higher level is $3,328. For short-term investors, you can consider waiting for the gold price to rebound to around $3,315 to arrange short orders and continue to be bearish on the gold price. The first thing to pay attention to below is the support of the low point just touched at $3,287. If this support level is lost, the next key support level will be $3,260, the first low point on the previous downward journey. If $3,260 is also effectively broken, the short-selling force will be further released, and the gold price may face a larger decline.

Interpretation of gold short-term operation ideasAfter a surge in the morning, gold was suppressed and fell again in the afternoon and has been in a narrow range of fluctuations!
Evening operation ideas:
If the European session does not continue the Asian session's pull-up and continue to strengthen, the probability of evening fluctuations will increase. After a sharp pullback, it is not easy for gold to turn strong in the short term, so before yesterday's opening is broken, the possibility of continued pullback will increase!

Don't make things difficult for yourself, don't waste the time, don't expect any sudden surprises, just hope there will be no sudden troubles, and that will be good enough.
Today, we will focus on the suppression of 3361-67. If this level is not broken, it may weaken and fall. Of course, if it breaks and rises, the price may still be strong. Therefore, short-term operations around this range today can be carried out with a stop loss of 3175 and a take-profit of 3317/3300. Only when it falls below can we further look at 3280-3250
Gold short-term trading: short near 3365, stop loss 3375, take profit 3317/3300

Gold re-surged at $3,400. China denies tariff negotiations with International gold prices rebounded as investors bought on dips after a sharp drop in the previous trading day, while the market focus remained on U.S.-China trade tensions.
As of press time, spot gold rose 1.6% to $3,340.79, reaching a high of $3,367 in the Asian session. Gold fell more than 3% on Wednesday, the biggest one-day drop since late November last year.
In addition, the decline in the U.S. dollar index made dollar-denominated gold cheaper for overseas buyers, which also supported gold prices.
Quaid's analysis:
Although the White House has repeatedly released signals this week that relations with Beijing may ease, China said on Thursday that there are currently no ongoing negotiations with the United States on tariffs. China's strong attitude also affects the current trend of gold.
In addition, the data released by the United States today on the number of initial jobless claims in the United States for the week ending April 19 and the monthly rate of durable goods orders in March also directly guided the trend of gold.
Quaid believes that the current trend of gold is still in an upward stage; gold is still supported by many favorable factors, and the "gold bulls" may eventually break through the $3,500 mark firmly.
Quaid recommends the operation strategy:
3335 long, 3330 stop loss, and look up to 3380.
Every decisive decision is paving the way for account value-added. Every decisive decision paves the way for account appreciation. Trust your own judgment, and gold will crown you.
Technical analysis of short-term gold operationsGold rebounded to $3,339 and fell back after encountering resistance. It accelerated its decline after the opening of the U.S. market. After falling to $3,260 and stabilizing, gold began to rebound, and was still suppressed by the integer of $3,300 until the closing. Gold broke upward at the opening of Thursday, rising to $3,367, and fell back to $3,314 after encountering resistance and stabilizing. It is currently trading at $3,337. Overall, gold further retreated to $3,260 to stabilize, and rebounded to $3,367 and encountered resistance, which is basically consistent with the lower space of $3,250 and the upper space of $3,385 given by us.
Gold rebounded after hitting a new low in a week on Wednesday, mainly because Bessant said that tariff negotiations will not start soon and will be conducted at the current trade level between China and the United States. Trump did not propose unilateral reductions in tariffs on Chinese imports and denied any upcoming tax cuts, which increased uncertainty and caused some safe-haven funds to flow back into the gold market.
Gold surged and then fell back to fluctuate, pay attention to 33
The first goal of trading is survival, and the second is profit.
📌 Driving events
After experiencing the biggest drop in five months, gold prices rose on Thursday (April 24) and returned to above the 3300 mark.
After US President Trump hinted that tariffs on China might be reduced and expressed no intention to remove Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, the market's risk aversion has cooled down. Gold hit a high of $3,367 during the Asian trading session, which can be regarded as ice and fire!
📊Comment analysis
For participants in the gold market, the impact of this price plunge is self-evident. The stock prices of gold mining companies have fallen accordingly, and the production capacity that expanded in the early stage due to the rise in gold prices may face the risk of shrinking profits.
At present, gold is under obvious pressure from above, and what needs to be paid attention to now is that the current round of gold adjustments is likely to continue, which means that it is not time to buy the bottom yet!
💰Strategy Package
Except for the early morning wave, the strength of the hourly line rebound is actually somewhat weak. As for the European session, Labaron is more inclined to continue to be bearish, and the current first round of rebound pressure is around 3350! If the rebound is in place, you can continue to try short orders!
⭐️ Note: Labaron hopes that traders can properly manage their funds
- Choose the number of lots that matches your funds
- Profit is 4-7% of the fund account
- Stop loss is 1-3% of the fund account
Gold fluctuates in a wide range, and the short-term trend is upwGold fell by $240 in two trading days, but the rebound was also very fierce, from yesterday's low of 3260 to 3367 in the early trading. The current volatility is still very large. The high and low points of $100 often appear, and it is normal to fluctuate by dozens of dollars. So pay attention to the market. There is no shortage of opportunities. Just grab what you can grasp.
The daily cycle has stepped back to the MA10 position. It has entered a critical stage. If the bulls recover, the strong rhythm is still there. It is too early to say that the peak has been reached. Pay attention to follow the market and don't be stubborn. The short-term resistance is 3386 and the 618 position of the decline and rebound is 3408. It is recommended to wait and see in the European session and look at the trend. Intervene in the US session.
Gold profit taking continuesThe gold market opened at 3337.5 yesterday due to the profit-taking of the previous day. After the market fell back to 3315.6, the market rose strongly to fill the gap. The daily line reached a high of 3386.7 and then fell strongly. The daily line reached a low of 3259.6 and then the market consolidated at the end of the day. The daily line finally closed at 3287.9 and the market closed with a long upper shadow line. After this pattern ended, today's market continued to be empty. In terms of points, the short positions at 3496, 3468 and 3442 the day before were reduced and the stop loss was followed up at 3400.

Early Asian session. Latest market analysisIn early Asian session, spot gold rebounded slightly and is currently trading around $3,345/oz, supported by bargain hunting. The U.S. session continued its trend of retreating from record highs, falling nearly 3%, hitting a low of $3,260.08/oz and closing at $3,288.18/oz.
People familiar with the matter revealed that the Trump administration is considering reducing tariffs on imports from Asian powers, adding that any action would not be unilateral.
Quaid Analysis:
People are very relieved about the possibility of negotiations between major powers, and we are seeing this trend have a significant impact on the market.
Driven by central bank buying, tariff war concerns and strong investment demand, gold prices have risen by more than 26% since the beginning of 2025. A large number of long orders are facing profit-taking needs, and investors need to beware of the risk of further correction in gold prices.
From a technical perspective, gold prices hit $3,500, soared before this level, and then reversed sharply, which increases the risk of further correction in the short term.
The preliminary monthly rate of durable goods orders in the United States in March and the number of initial jobless claims in the United States for the week ending April 19 will be released on the Asian trading day. Investors need to pay attention to them. In addition, they need to continue to pay attention to the relevant news on the international trade situation and the geopolitical situation.
Action suggestions:
Go long at 3345, stop loss at 3340, watch 33380
If Quaid's analysis can help traders, then Quaid will be very happy.
Gold continues to pull back to the turning point!!!In the 4-hour chart, the price found support near the 3284 area (the recent swing low) and rebounded. Buyers stepped in at this position and set risk below this support level in an attempt to push prices higher again. Sellers hope that the price will fall below this level to push the price further down to the 3167 area.
1-hour chart
On the 1-hour chart, a short-term downward trend line can be seen, which is currently limiting the market's bullish sentiment. Sellers may establish positions near this trend line and set stops above the trend line with a target of 3167.
GOLD: Two Prominent Buying Areas to buy Gold From!Hey there! So, gold took a dip after hitting the $3500 mark, and it’s now at $3370.

Keep an eye on it and trade safely! Good luck!

Analysis of gold short-term operation ideasGold price is currently trading below 3330. The downward trend in Asian session broke through the 3315 position in the morning. Our short position also successfully harvested a wave of big profits. Gold price showed signs of rebound in early European session. Now the upper pressure level can be moved down. The short-term pressure level is 3318, followed by the second highest point on the way up at 3357. The lower support level focuses on 3285. After effectively breaking through, we can focus on 3245. Now gold price is trading near the early low of 3315. The prudent operation idea is to go short at 3320 for protection at 3331 and wait for the gold price to reach 3285. After the break, wait for the rebound to 3300 and go short again to see the position of 3245. Long positions are not recommended.
Gold operation strategy, how to grasp the ups and downs of the mAt the end of the Asian market, spot gold maintained a sharp decline in the day. The current gold price is around $3,305/ounce, and it plummeted during the day.
Gold prices fluctuated this week, hitting a record high of $3,500/ounce, and then encountered resistance and fell to the $3,300/ounce level. The main reason for the record high in gold prices was that the market was worried that the Federal Reserve would lose its independence after US President Trump verbally attacked Federal Reserve Chairman Powell.
US President Trump said on Tuesday evening local time that he had no intention of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. Trump also said that tariffs on Chinese imports would be "substantially" reduced from the current 145%.
Quaid believes that the hope of easing Sino-US trade tensions has driven a positive shift in risk sentiment and a recovery in the US dollar. Investors used this as an excuse to take profits on their gold long positions.
Latest trading analysis:
The gold daily chart shows that the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) has fallen back from the overbought area to the bullish area. The latest decline in this leading indicator supports a new round of decline in gold prices. However, as long as gold prices can hold the $3,300/oz level, gold buyers still have hope.
If the gold correction deepens, gold prices may challenge the 21-day simple moving average (SMA) of $3,163/oz. Before that, the $3,200/oz mark may provide some support for buyers.
On the other hand, if the upward trend resumes, gold prices may re-break through $3,400/oz and then aim for the historical high of $3,500/oz.
Gold has been volatile recently. If traders are not doing well in gold operations at present, I hope Quaid's analysis can make your investment smooth. Welcome all traders to communicate.
Interpretation of gold short-term operation ideasThe gold market opened at 3423.4 in the morning yesterday, and then the market fell back to 3411.6, and then the market rose strongly. The daily line reached a high of 3500.4, and then the market fell under technical pressure. Subsequently, the market took profits and went down. The daily line gave a low of 3365.8 and then the market consolidated. The daily line finally closed at 3381.2, and the market closed in an inverted hammer pattern with a very long upper shadow. After the end of this pattern, the market continued to be short after opening low today. In terms of points, yesterday's short positions at 3496, 3468 and 3442 were reduced, and the stop loss was followed up at 3445. If it opens low today and falls directly, give 3292 long stop loss 3285. The target is 3336, 3350, 3365 and 3374. Exit the market and continue the short stop loss at 3381. The target is not released and the loss is held in stages.
Tariffs ease, risk aversion drops, gold continues to be bearishAfter hitting the integer mark of 3500 yesterday, gold fell back by nearly 200 US dollars. Today's early trading opened lower and directly swallowed up the overall rise of yesterday. Will gold continue to correct or turn around?
From the current decline, the range from the high point of 3500 to the current low point of 3315 is close to 200 US dollars. Considering this round of decline, it has exceeded the range of short-term correction. Therefore, traders should guard against the probability that the gold price will enter a turning point in the short term!
After the current decline is too large, the main area is to go sideways to correct the main force. The overall rebound will not be too large.
Main area: around 3380-3400
Defensive support below: double bottom around 3280
Operation suggestion: Do not carry orders, heavy positions, lock positions in sudden change cycles, and bring stop losses! "Specific operations are subject to actual trading"
Gold price plunged nearly $200. The signal of cooling down the tIn the early Asian session on Wednesday, spot gold opened nearly $40 lower and hit $3,313.51 per ounce, down nearly $200 from the historical high of 3,500 hit on Tuesday. Because U.S. Treasury Secretary Benson hinted that international trade tensions would ease, which stimulated optimism in the stock market and boosted the dollar to a near one-week high; spot gold closed down 1.2% on Tuesday, closing at $3,380.95 per ounce.
Bob Haberkorn, senior market strategist at RJO Futures, said: The latest remarks suggest that the trade war with the Asian giant may ease, but this is the time to start selling.
After Benson said that the tariff deadlock was unsustainable, the U.S. stock market rose by more than 2%, suppressing the safe-haven buying demand for gold, and the rebound of the U.S. dollar also suppressed the price of gold.
Quaid believes that its roller coaster trend is still continuing. I hope traders will pay attention to the speeches of several Fed officials later this week, hoping to find clues to future monetary policy at a time when people are worried about the independence of the Fed. And I will analyze it for you as soon as possible and give you reasonable suggestions.
Current strategy:
Relative to the market situation: as long as the price can continue to rise, it means that the current situation is just a volatile market, not a peak retracement, which is also a feature of the volatile trend; at the same time, the current market is not extremely strong after a sharp drop, and it is still in a volatile rise; therefore, do not go long, but go long after the retracement support.
Gold hits 3500 retracement adjustmentGold Technical Forecast:
From a technical perspective, gold is confidently moving along a bullish trajectory. There is no doubt about that. But the signals now sent by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and other momentum indicators are worth paying attention to. The daily RSI reading is close to 80, which has entered the severely overbought area. However, this does not necessarily indicate impending doom. It just confirms what we already know: buyers are in control.
So, is the price close to a top? Possibly. But I would not sound the alarm bells just yet. These high indicators are more of a warning than a battle cry. It is more of a "stay alert" than a "get out of here".
Spot Gold Technical Levels to Watch
Gold's climb to a record $3,500 was impressive, but as expected, it has begun to retreat slightly from this psychological high, most likely due to some conventional profit-taking. There is no natural resistance above this level; all we have are round numbers. However, on the way down, the situation is different.
Technical Analysis
Initial support includes Monday's high of $3,430 and the round number mark of $3,400 on the daily chart. Looking further down, $3,357 is last week's breakout level, followed by reliable support at $3,300. If a more meaningful pullback occurs, $3,245 and $3,167 will be worth watching, both of which were previous resistance ranges and are now likely to become support levels.
