XAU/USD shorts from 2,760 or Longs from 2,720This week, my analysis suggests that gold may continue to drop, targeting the trendline liquidity formed below. Once that liquidity is taken out, I anticipate a bullish reaction, potentially around the demand zone I have identified. If the price retraces up to the supply zone, I’ll look for potential sell opportunities to follow this short-term bearish trend.
Since my overall bias is bullish, I am more inclined towards long positions due to the higher time frame outlook. However, if the price surpasses any of my nearby Points of Interest (POIs), I’ll watch for a deeper retracement around the demand at 2,680 or the supply at 2,780.
Confluences for Gold Sells:
- Price has shown a bearish shift on the higher time frame.
- Supply zones remain on both the 1-hour and daily charts.
- There is significant trendline liquidity below, providing a target for further downside movement.
- The dollar has been moving bullishly, which aligns with a potential drop in gold.
- Gold has been in a strong bullish trend and may be showing signs of exhaustion, hence the recent heavy decline.
P.S. I’ll stay vigilant and assess where the price moves first. If price breaks structure to the downside, I’ll have a stronger inclination to sell.
Have a great trading week!

Gold's Hourly Chart - M_Top Breach @ 2513.25 - Recovery?
Hello,
I was saying all week that the USDX was going to be strong in it's recovery from selling off the past few weeks.
I didn't think the economic data was all that bad during Friday, I think the damage set-in once the USDX started to rally on the retest and close above 101.50. As the NY session opened on Friday I saw a lot selling of the Gold-price as the USDX was making a sustained rally above 101.50 and then it skipped back under this level and buying of the Gold-price started to occur but it was a bull-trap.
The Gold market sold off and as can be seen on the hourly chart a breach below 2513.25 and the selling intensified. It is always harder to navigate in real time, I get it.
You can see here on the hourly that the 200 EMA is starting to slope down and the 9 EMA is about to cross it.
But it's not all bad. When Asia opens on Monday there is a bullish Head n Shoulders that has formed on a 5 minute chart. (Please see below). Indications are that this will retest and execute taking the market higher. However, for the market to recover, buying will have to continue following this pattern to keep the Gold price above important key moving averages. Otherwise, this 5M pattern will play out bullishly for a time and the Gold price could sell off again. The Gold market got its liquidity during Friday, so lets see where price goes.
+$380 Dollars on Gold TodayYes gold is bullish, yes I sold gold, yes I took 2 losses, Yes I am still in profit at the end of the day.
The more I grow as a trader the more I realize that it is much more about what decisions you make as opposed to just what trades you take.
Yes the trades you take are important but ultimately you have to make a decision to take that trade in the first place right?
Have a great rest of your day guys
How Probabilities Help Me win Trades on GoldAs much as I want to tell you that there is some magic set up that works for me, Unfortunately I cannot because there isn't.
The more I look at my own trading over the many years that I've been doing this. It literally boils down to probabilities.
What is the probability that X will happen if Y happened. This is literally how I process everything and as you can see it works wonders.
In this video breakdown I show you even a new trade LIVE. Admittedly, I wouldn't have taken it because it would have been counter momentum but even GUESSING I could make it work because of probabilities.
The reality is that we overcomplicate what we do too much and this is really not needed.
K.I.S.S - Keep it stupid simple
GOLD SELL IDEA XAUUSD Looking for sells on gold based on the hourly timeframe - the whole point of the play is that we want to see a liqudity grab up first, once we have that we can look for sells on the BREAK OF THE LOWS! We should ONLY take a sell in this scenario otherwise we risk price going for ATH again causing us to take a bigger loss.
Stop loss will be at ATH
Gold 4H Sell Continuation Idea 9/30/23At market close, price has closed below 50% of the 3/13/23 D B FVG, but price is in the top 50% of the 3/17/23 4H B FVG. PLUS price closed with a bearish engulfing on the 8H. Since price is in a downtrend I am looking for price to continue down another 300 pips to the 2023 yearly open. Depending on the type of trader you are I see 3 possible entries from where price currently is:
1. 4H S Fractal
If you trade fractals you should already be in this trade. You may see some pull back, but until I see some bullish pressure, I'm looking for price to continue a good 300 pips to the 2023 yearly open
2. 4H B FVG
If you are a counter trend trader, you can get a good 140+ pips out of a possible pullback to the 4H S FVG that has been created in the drop before market close Friday 9/29/23. If not stay out and wait for more sell confirmations to get back in the sell
3. 4H S FVG
If price does pull back, I'm not looking for more than a good 150 pips into the gap that was created at Friday market close. So from there you can catch the sell continuation down to the 2023 yearly open minimum. The next low is WAY below that.
As we know, price does what it wants to do, so be careful and wait on your confirmations. Happy Trading!!
Gold 4H S Idea 9/23/23Looking for Gold to continue bearish when market opens. Price is currently wicking and refusing to go higher at market close on Friday. There is a 4H liquidity zone where price is refusing to break. I'm expecting a 4H sell fractal to print after market opens. Lets see what happens
XAUUSD 1H timeframe sellsWith the higher timeframes all being bearish, it would make most sense to be looking for sells, especially on the lower timeframes as we do not want to be fighting the trend unless we look on a smaller timeframe.
Should we see price close below our key area of support at 1881.9 then I will look for a retest of this level where we can take a sell-limit and aim for a full TP of 1873. This does not mean we won't take partial profits and move stop loss to break even at 10+ pips as risk management is key!
For buys I would need to see structure form on the lower timeframe, but right now with us being stuck in a range on higher timeframes it would be risky unless we aimed to trade within the range however something like this could take hours to play out.
XAUUSD Gold weekly timeframe breakdownAnother week of more bearish price action. All in all it was a good week for trading with no losses being taken and successful trades (all have been reviewed and broken down here)
So with price closing below another key area of support, the expectation is going into the final week and a half of August price should continue down with little to no support remaining. At this point 1860 is the next level where we could see a rejection however given how price action in the past has reacted to this level I wouldn't be surprised if we drive straight down, but I feel that's not as likely as the bull case of tapping that level and moving back up into the 1900's.
XAUUSD Gold 4h breakdownWith sells still being the primary bias, we can look for sells at 1901 down to a potential 1895 where we may see rejection and price bounce towards the 1920 level.
I wouldn't be taking sells during asia session purely down to the fact it's unlikely we have volatility given no news from the US yesterday but anything can happen in these markets.
XAUUSD Gold daily breakdownoverall compared to last friday not much has changed on the daily timeframe. We have a weak bullish candle print to close the week off, despite a pump from the news released on Friday price continued to make it's way down and overall the target remains the same as what we saw on the weekly, expecting a liquidity grab at 1870 before price bounces and moves back up. We are currently in the middle of the month so how this goes from here is anyones guess, but most likely we see 1903 at the very least.
XAUUSD Gold Weekly breakdownAnother bearish week, another closure below a key level on the weekly.
The close below 1917.318 is key because this was a previous level of support when looking back over the past 3 years. With this in mind, when we have seen the weekly candle close below this level there is a high probability of price driving down to 1873, with some resistance at the 1900 level due to it being a psychological level.
Overall, my bias remains bearish.
XAUUSD Daily breakdownGold closed below the 1922.62 support level - in the past when price has closed below here we see price tap 1903
With this in mind, the most optimal trade entry would be taking a sell at 1927 - why? because if you look at price action in the past, there is always a tap on that price level as price moves down and we haven't seen that yet.
Keep in mind we have CPI news today for the USD so we will have volatility no matter what, we may wait until after news to take trades to be safe.
XAUUSD Gold sells on lower TFLooking at further sells predominantly on the 5 minute timeframe, easy scalp for 10-20 pips with stop loss greater than the current range.
Previous trade we got stopped out at break even so this could be a second try at price making its way out of the range towards the next level.
XAUUSD Gold scalp ideas for buy and sellsWe are currently in a tricky range, despite price looking heavily bullish on the lower timeframes I would be cautious as price is known to reject and range within this area
Look for trades outside of this range and we can see a much clearer picture on where price wants to go and take trades based on that
Patience pays.
XAUUSD Gold daily breakdown - sell biasThursday was one of those days, nothing but ranging which was to be expected given NFP tomorrow and the major moves being earlier this week.
To keep this short and sweet - I still expect price top continue down, however, first we need to see a liquidity grab to the upside because we can continue going down.
Overall swing bias is sells. Sell sell sell. 1900 remains my target and I have no doubt we will see it, especially with the current strength of the USD and all it takes is NFP numbers tomorrow to be higher than expected and Gold will be a bloodbath.
XAUUSD Gold weekly breakdownHistorically, whenever price has rejected the red zone price has continued down towards the 1800 level, so we continue to anticipate the weekly candle price action to continue down.
The only obstacle may be NFP this week, however outside of that expectations are for gold to continue down.
XAUUSD Gold 1 month swing trade breakdown1st day of the month and we are off to a cracker. We said yesterday that we can anticipate swing sells based on the monthly candle rejecting strong resistance and that is exactly what we saw. Plan remains to visit the low 1900s and even 1800s, after such a heavy move down beware of consolidation/retraces before price continues down.
XAUUSD Gold monthly breakdownDespite gold closing bullish for the month of July, Price action indicates bears are still in control and there are opportunities for swing-sells
The reason for this is due to the fact that the 1970-1990 levels were rejected in the month, showing strong resistance is still intact and we can anticipate the support created at the 1900 level to be broken for a continuation down to 1825.
