Gold Falls from Peak, but Rate Cut Hopes Keep Outlook Positive● Gold prices fell after hitting a high at $3057.59 due to a stronger US dollar, making it more expensive for overseas buyers.
● Despite this, gold is set for its third consecutive weekly gain, up 0.7% this week.
● Market participants expect at least two US Federal Reserve rate cuts this year, supporting gold's long-term bullish outlook.
◉ Technical Observations
● While moving through the rising parallel channel, the price has just faced resistance from the upper boundary and is expected to have a pullback towards $2,950.
● If the price slips below this level, the next strong support is expected near $2,790.

XAU/USD 24-28 March 2025 Weekly AnalysisWeekly Analysis:
Swing Structure -> Bullish.
Internal Structure -> Bullish.
Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 16 March 2025.
In my analysis dated 27 October 2024 I mentioned (below) that price could potentially print higher in order to reposition CHoCH. This is exactly how price printed. CHoCH positioning has been brought significantly closer to current price action.
The remainder of my analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 09 February 2025.
Price has printed a further bullish iBOS.
Price is currently trading within an internal low and fractal high. CHoCH positioning is denoted with a blue dashed line.
Price Action Analysis:
In my analysis dated 27 October 2024, it was noted that the first sign of a pullback would be a bearish Change of Character (CHoCH), indicated by a blue dotted line. Price's consistent upward momentum had repositioned previous CHoCH much closer to recent price levels as expected for weeks. Current CHoCH positioning is quite a distance away from price, therefore, it would be viable if price continued bullish to reposition CHOCH.
Note:
It is highly unlikely price will "crash" as many analysts are predicting. My view is this is merely a corrective wave of the primary trend.
Given the Federal Reserve's dovish policy stance alongside heightened geopolitical risks, market volatility is likely to remain elevated, influencing intraday price swings.
Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty.
Weekly Chart:
Daily Analysis:
Swing -> Bullish.
Internal -> Bullish.
Price continued bullish repositioning bearish CHoCH positioning closer to current price action.
Price is now trading within an internal low and fractal high.
Expectation is for price to print bearish CHoCH to indicate, but not confirm bearish pullback phase initiation. CHoCH positioning is denoted with a blue dotted line.
Note:
With the Fed maintaining a dovish policy stance and the continued rise in geopolitical tensions, we should anticipate elevated market volatility, which may impact both intraday and longer-term price action.
Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty and the repricing of Gold.

Intraday Expectation:
Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or nested Daily and H4 demand levels before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,057.590.
Note:
With the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and persisting geopolitical uncertainties, heightened volatility in Gold is expected to continue. Traders should proceed with caution and adjust risk management strategies in this high-volatility environment.

H4 Chart:
Gold fluctuates and rises, breaks out, rebounds and goes shortGold has been rising for several consecutive trading days, and the general trend is still bullish. We can continue to trade gold after it falls sharply. In the short term, gold has fallen below the rising trend line. It can be seen that gold has been running above the trend line recently. It has now fallen below the trend line, so we can rebound and short gold.
Recommendation: Short gold near 3032 and 3038, stop loss at 3046
Gold is making big profits above 40, and may fall again in the eGold has been rising again and again. It broke through the high in the morning and continued to rise. The price is close to 3040. There is almost no callback in the whole rising process. There is a possibility of accelerating to the top. It is very close to 3050. Don't blindly chase the price when it reaches here.Therefore, it is not recommended to chase high gold today. You can short it in batches around 3040-3050. The support below is 3027-3018-3006! If you want to be stable, try to do less and wait and see. Let's see how it goes today and look for opportunities in the evening.
Gold induces bullish crashGold bulls are still showing a strong momentum. After successfully breaking through the $3,000 mark, it is likely to enter an accelerated upward phase.Gold opened at $3033, and the bulls are currently in a high-level oscillation state.There is still a possibility that the bulls will further push the price up to the range of 3040-3050 USD. The main reason is the lack of momentum for the decline. Gold has experienced a sharp rise of more than 100 points, from $2,981 to $3,038. The bulls have undoubtedly ushered in a nearly 60-point increase again.Therefore, shorting today is a more reasonable choice
XAUUSD - Daily, Gold’s Next Big Move: Be Ready!XAUUSD - Daily Update 📈
With most analysts focusing on Gold’s bullish momentum, let’s step back and analyze where we are in the bigger picture and where we should secure profits before a potential correction.
Gold has been in a strong uptrend since the $2,000 zone, forming three major bullish legs as highlighted in the chart:
🔹 First leg correction: ~$150 drop
🔹 Second leg correction: ~$250 drop
🔹 Third correction may be deeper, so caution is needed in the target zone.
Key Levels to Watch:
📌 Potential Target Zone: $3,050 - $3,150
✔️ Measured Move: Previous legs suggest an extension into this zone.
✔️ Liquidity Grab: Gold tends to hunt liquidity over round numbers—just as it did at $2,000 → $2,060, it may break $3,050 before reversing.
✔️ Ascending Channel: The price is approaching the top of the channel, where market makers may trigger a fake breakout before a significant pullback.
🚨 Trading Strategy:
Swing traders: Secure profits near $3,050 - $3,150.
Daily traders: Use pullbacks as short-term profit opportunities.

Price is currently trading within an established internal range.
Intraday Expectation:
Price is now trading in premium of 50% internal EQ where we could see a reaction at any point. Price could also target H4 supply zone before targeting weak internal low, priced at 2,832.720
Note:
With the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and persisting geopolitical uncertainties, heightened volatility in Gold is expected to continue. Traders should proceed with caution and adjust risk management strategies in this high-volatility environment.

H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Analysis and bias has not been met, largely due macroeconomic events, particularly the Trump trade tariff war, which is causing uncertainty within the markets which is supporting Gold price.
Price has printed a bullish iBOS.
Within the structure following the iBOS, price has printed a several bearish CHoCH's with very minimal pullbacks before continuing bullish.
In order not to distort internal structure range I will apply discretion and not classify bearish CHoCH without considerable pullback.
Intraday Expectation:
Await for price to print Bearish CHoCH which is supported by a pullback relative to recent price action.
Note:
With the Federal Reserve maintaining a dovish stance and ongoing geopolitical tensions, volatility in Gold prices is expected to remain elevated. Traders should exercise caution, adjust risk management strategies, and stay prepared for potential price whipsaws in this high-volatility environment.
M15 Chart:
Gold Prices Rise as Inflation Fears Subside◉ Fundamental Rationale
● Gold prices remain steady despite a strong US dollar, supported by a softer-than-expected US CPI report.
● The US CPI report showed a 0.4% rise, lower than the forecasted 0.5%, easing inflation concerns.
● Weaker US inflation data reduces the likelihood of a rate hike, making gold more attractive to investors.
● The strong US dollar, fueled by a surge in US Treasury yields, failed to dent gold's appeal.
● Prices are expected to remain supported as investors seek safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainty.
◉ Technical Observations
● Gold prices have broken free from a Symmetrical Triangle pattern and surged upward.
● Currently trading near all-time highs, the rally is expected to continue, propelling prices beyond the previous high.
Gold is reversing before reaching the round $3,000 mark.Gold is reversing before reaching the round $3,000 mark.
As you can see on the chart, we’ve hit the 227% Fibonacci level.
— Back in 2008, after testing this level, we went into a correction.
— I think we might see a similar scenario play out from here.

Gold, An upward movement incoming ?Hello traders, I hope you are great. our latest analysis on Gold hit all its targets and we gained a profit of around 800 pips; but what's next ? Will the price continue its downward correction or not ? Let's clarify things a bit to make decision making easier for ourselves:
With the delayed possibility of a ceasefire in the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as existing tensions between the USA and other countries, the likelihood of a continued correction in gold has diminished at least in the short term.
We should also keep in mind that there is a possibility of renewed conflict between Hamas and Israel in the upcoming Days.
If we have consider these factors together, it seems to me there is at least a chance of another upward movement in Gold. Targets have determined by Blue dashed lines.

GOLD IS GOING BULLISH ALLOW IT TO TOUCH LINE 2719.730✅Smart Money Concept
Gold price (XAU/USD) reached a fresh one-month high during Thursday’s Asian session but struggled to sustain momentum above the $2,700 mark. Diminished worries over U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's proposed trade tariffs and the anticipation of two potential Federal Reserve rate cuts this year have fueled positive market sentiment. However, a slight uptick in the U.S. Dollar (USD) has constrained further gains for the safe-haven asset.

Gold Approaching Key Resistance Berish Rjction or Bullish BrkoutBased on the chart provided:
### Key Observations:
1. **Resistance Zone**:
- Price is approaching a strong resistance zone around 2,720–2,740, as indicated by the shaded area.
- Previous interactions with this level suggest potential rejection, making it a critical zone for monitoring price action.
2. **Target Levels**:
- **1st Target**: 2,680 – a minor support level where price might pause or bounce if rejection occurs.
- **2nd Target**: 2,640 – a key mid-level support area aligned with historical price structure.
- **3rd Target**: 2,623 – a stronger support zone near the previous low, offering a potential bounce zone.
3. **Risk-Reward Setup**:
- A clear risk zone (stop-loss) is placed above the resistance zone (around 2,759), indicating a bearish outlook.
- The trade setup assumes a rejection from the resistance area, with the first target likely to hit before deeper retracements.
4. **Market Context**:
- Recent bullish momentum may face exhaustion as it approaches resistance, especially if accompanied by reduced volume.
- The "Change of Character" (ChoCh) annotations suggest a possible shift in momentum around the resistance zone.
### Potential Trade Scenarios:
1. **Bearish Rejection**:
- Look for bearish confirmation signals (e.g., bearish engulfing candles, rejection wicks) around the 2,720–2,740 zone.
- Short entry: Near 2,720–2,730.
- Targets: 2,680, 2,640, and 2,623, in that order.
2. **Bullish Breakout**:
- If the price breaks above 2,740 with strong momentum, invalidate the bearish scenario.
- Look for a retest of the 2,740 level as new support for long positions.
- Target: 2,770–2,800.
### Additional Notes:
- **Divergences**: Check for any bearish divergences in RSI or MACD to confirm weakness near the resistance zone.
- **Economic Events**: Be cautious of news or data releases that may increase volatility in gold.

Analysis/Intraday expectation remains the same as analysis dated 16 December 2024.

for two possible reasons.
1. To assist price to complete bearish pullback phase, react at either discount of internal 50% or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal high.
