Gold Prices Doubled in 5 years. What Does It 'Historically' MeanOver the past five years, Gold prices OANDA:XAUUSD have experienced a significant surge, doubling in value over the past 5 years, from mid-March 2020 to mid-March 2025. This is the 3rd time in history ever, the price of gold doubled in U.S. dollars (we counted only events when it has been observed first time only over 5-years time span). 🥇 The 1st time "A Doubling" event happened in the first quarter of 1973, when Gold hit $80 mark per ounce (google: "1973 Arab–Israeli War"). ⚒ What happened next with Gold prices after that? - Hmm.. Gold doubled in price again! (and even more) over the next three years. Watch historical charts to learn more. ⚒ S&P500 Index folded in half over the same next three years. 🥇 The 2nd time "A Doubling" event happened more than 30 years later, in the first quarter of 2006 when Gold prices hit $500 barrier by the end of the year 2005, for the first time since 1987. Some analysts blamed inflation in the US and concerns about the state of the global economy. ⚒ What happened next with Gold price after that? - Hmm.... Gold price also doubled in price again! (and even more) over next three years. Watch again historical charts to learn more. ⚒ S&P500 Index folded in half again over the same next three years (google: "2008 financial crisis"). 🥇 Now is the 3rd time "A Doubling" event has happened with Gold prices, first time over last almost 20 years. Several factors have contributed to this increase, including economic uncertainty, inflation fears, geopolitical tensions, central bank activity, and investment demand. Economic Uncertainty: Times of economic turmoil often drive investors towards gold as a safe haven asset. The increase in global economic uncertainty has been a primary driver of gold's price surge. Inflation: The threat of inflation also contributes to the rising price of gold. Investors often turn to gold as a hedge against the devaluation of fiat currencies during inflationary periods. Geopolitical Tensions: Geopolitical instability encourages investors to seek safe-haven assets like gold. The Ukraine war, along with conflicts in the Middle East, have further fueled the rise in gold prices. Central Bank Demand: Central banks' buying and easing cycles influence gold prices. Central banks often purchase gold to diversify their reserve holdings, and this demand can impact gold prices significantly. Investment Demand: Demand from technology, jewelry, and investors influences gold prices. Gold price movements are sometimes driven by investor demand. -- Best #GODL (Gold On Dear Life) wishes, @PandorraResearch Team

GOLD’s Next Big Play – Don’t Miss This $3000+ Setup!Gold has been following my analysis perfectly over the last two weeks and remains in a strong uptrend! 📈 For this week, the plan is to look for buying opportunities—but only at the right price. I don’t believe the bull run is over just yet. Despite Friday’s drop, gold recovered strongly and held above $3,000, signaling that buyers are still in control. ⚠ Caution for sellers: While there may be shorting opportunities if gold overextends, it’s risky to bet against this trend too soon. If I see a high-probability short setup, I’ll make a separate post about it. Let’s stay patient and trade smart! 💡💰 Traders, if you found this analysis valuable 🎓, feel free to give it a boost 🚀 and share your thoughts in the comments 📣. Let’s discuss!

XAU/USD Analysis: Bearish Pullback Towards $3,000 SupportXAU/USD (Gold Spot vs. U.S. Dollar) Technical Analysis - 1H Chart 1. Price Action & Trend Analysis The market has been in a strong uptrend, characterized by higher highs and higher lows. Recently, the price faced resistance near the $3,040 level, leading to a rejection. A pullback is currently in progress, suggesting a possible retracement to a demand zone. 2. Key Levels Resistance Zone (Supply Zone): Around $3,040 - $3,045 where price has been rejected multiple times. Support Zone (Demand Zone): Around $3,000 - $3,005, a previous accumulation area. Current Price: $3,023.695 3. Market Structure & Expected Move The price tested the resistance zone, failed to break above, and is now reacting downward. A bearish projection (as shown in the chart) suggests a potential move toward the $3,000 - $3,005 support zone. If the price reaches this level and finds buying pressure, we could see a reversal or continuation of the uptrend. 4. Indicators & Confluence Factors Support-Resistance Flip: The previous support at $3,000 could act as a strong support again. Bearish Momentum: Short-term price action suggests sellers are gaining control after rejection at resistance. Liquidity Zones: The highlighted purple zones represent institutional order blocks where significant buy/sell orders exist. 5. Trading Plan & Strategy Bearish Scenario: If price breaks below $3,000, we could see further downside pressure. Bullish Scenario: A bounce from $3,000 could provide buying opportunities for another attempt at breaking $3,040. 6. Conclusion The market is currently retracing from resistance, and a short-term bearish move is expected toward $3,000. Traders should watch for price reaction at $3,000 to determine if it holds as support or breaks for further downside.

HelenP. I Gold will continue to move up in rising channelHi folks today I'm prepared for you Gold analytics. After a strong bullish rally, Gold broke above the resistance around 3000 and continued moving inside the ascending channel. The price reached the 3060 area before starting a correction. This pullback brought the price back to the previously broken resistance — now acting as support — and also to the trend line and lower boundary of the channel. Buyers quickly reacted from this zone, confirming their strength and interest in higher levels. Now the price is trading above the Support Zone, and the overall market structure remains bullish. The reaction from the 3000 level shows that this area is well protected by buyers, and the trend line continues to hold. This setup creates a high-probability scenario for a further upward move. As long as the price stays above 3000 and within the channel, I expect XAUUSD to continue rising toward the 3080 points — my current goal. This level aligns with the upper boundary of the channel and represents the next resistance area, where we may see some profit-taking. Given the recent price action, the impulse move, and the bounce from the support zone, I remain bullish and anticipate further growth.

Gold (XAU/USD) – Possible Reversal from Resistance XAU/USD (Gold Spot vs. U.S. Dollar) on the 1-day timeframe and shows an ascending channel with key price levels and technical annotations. Key Observations: Trend Direction: The price has been in a strong uptrend since late 2024. It is currently near the upper boundary of the ascending channel. Liquidity & Market Structure: INT.LQ (Internal Liquidity): This suggests an area where liquidity is expected to be taken before a potential move. MB Unfilled (Market Balances Unfilled): These indicate inefficiencies in price movement that the market may revisit. Projected Price Action: The chart shows a potential short-term pullback from the upper boundary. Expected retracement towards the "fair value range" around $2,800–$2,850. If this scenario plays out, it would align with price rebalancing and a healthier uptrend continuation. Key Levels: Resistance: Around $3,050, which aligns with the upper trendline. Support Zones: Around $2,950 and deeper at $2,800. Potential Trading Strategy: Bearish Case: If rejection occurs at $3,050, short opportunities could exist targeting $2,900–$2,850.

Silver's Limited Rebound at $33.06Posting a modest rebound after last week’s dip, silver currently trades around $33.06 per ounce. The recovery is limited as easing geopolitical tensions compete with the pressure from a strong U.S. dollar. Demand stays strong due to tariff uncertainty and inflation risks, but weak industrial outlook, mainly from China, and hopes for a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire are limiting silver’s gains. Still, tightening supply and global economic concerns are helping keep silver near five-month highs. If silver breaks above $33.75, the next resistance levels are $34.05 and $34.85. On the downside, support is at $33.10, with further levels at $32.50 and $32.15 if selling pressure increases.

GOLD at absolute fundamental support but RSI overboughtOANDA:XAUUSD have now fallen to around $3,048/ounce, down $9 from the historic high reached in early Asian trading today, March 20. On Thursday, the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced its interest rate decision and summarized economic expectations; Federal Reserve Chairman Powell held a press conference on monetary policy. The FOMC kept its policy rate unchanged at 4.25% - 4.50% after the Trump administration imposed tariffs, while officials raised their inflation forecasts for this year and lowered their economic growth forecasts. After concluding a two-day monetary policy meeting, the Federal Reserve announced at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday that it would maintain its benchmark interest rate at 4.25% to 4.5% and announced it would slow the pace of its balance sheet reduction starting in April. The Fed also released its FOMC statement, predicting rising U.S. inflation and lowering its economic growth forecast. Amid signs of stagflation, the Fed still announced that it would cut interest rates twice by 2025, similar to the dovish signal it gave when it cut interest rates sharply last September. The statement noted that recent indicators show that economic activity continues to grow at a solid pace. In recent months, unemployment has remained low, labor market conditions have remained strong, and inflation has remained moderately elevated. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell first mentioned tariffs at a press conference after the meeting, acknowledging that Trump’s policies have affected the economy. Powell also indicated that the policies of the new Trump administration will affect the economy, but he will be careful to avoid making too clear assessments of this impact. Powell also used the word “uncertainty” several times. He reiterated that there is still uncertainty about the potential impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy and highlighted the risks to the Fed’s expectations for employment and inflation. – Bloomberg – Last week, US President Trump raised tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 25% and said new reciprocal tariffs and industrial duties would take effect on April 2. On the geopolitical front, hostilities between Russia and Ukraine continued despite a 30-day ceasefire aimed at halting attacks on energy facilities. Meanwhile, conflict in the Middle East escalated as Reuters reported that an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday killed 400 people. Two UN staff were killed in an attack on the UN building in Deir el Balah, central Gaza Strip, a UN source told AFP on Wednesday. Gold prices have risen more than 15% this year. Gold has long been seen as a safe investment in times of economic or geopolitical uncertainty, and since it does not yield interest, it is even more attractive in a low-interest-rate environment. Technical outlook for OANDA:XAUUSD Gold continues to refresh its all-time highs as it finds support from the 0.50% Fibonacci extension noted by readers in yesterday’s edition and currently has no technical barriers ahead, with the next upside target being the 0.618% Fibonacci extension. While all technical conditions are in favor of the upside with the channel acting as short-term support and the RSI showing no signs of a significant downside correction, downside corrections when they do occur are typically strong after a long period of hot growth like the current one. Traders can definitely prepare for a downside correction with a target of around $3,037 in the short term and the 0.618% Fibonacci extension is a position that can fit this expectation. I will try to describe that if you try to sell around the 0.618% Fibonacci level is a counter-trend decision, but since the RSI has been operating in the overbought area and 6 consecutive bullish sessions have occurred, there is a possibility for a downside correction. However, the need to do for the expectation (Adjustment) means that the open short positions should be completed in the short term because it is counter-trend. During the day, the uptrend in gold prices with the expectation of a downside correction will be noticed again by the following technical levels.

Latest gold update today: Price continues to increase sharplyHello to all dear traders! Gold declined yesterday after establishing a short-term peak at $3058 - close to the 1.786 Fibonacci extension level, supported by the dollar's correction. The main reason for this corrective move stems from the price rising too quickly and too far from the equilibrium zone, particularly the OB ZONE. Theoretically, this is an area that previously accumulated strong buying pressure - where institutions and whales may have placed large buy orders. Now the price has returned to retest that exact zone, demonstrating healthy and necessary corrective behavior before continuing the upward trend. Additionally, this correction serves as a market cleansing mechanism that helps shake out late buy orders or FOMO trades, helping to create a more solid foundation for the next upward move. The Fibonacci 1.236 level at $3002 is currently playing a crucial technical support role - an area where buying pressure is expected to return. Would you like me to continue writing about entry strategies from this correction zone? Or would you prefer adding economic news comparisons to strengthen the argument?

Gold Buy IdeaBased on the gold charts with the requested indicators (Bollinger Bands/MBB, VWAP with bands, and RSI 14), here's my analysis across the three timeframes: Buy at 3,025 SL: 3,021.50 TP 1: 3,029.50 TP 2: 3,035.00 Current price: 3,024.10 with slight negative movement (-0.02%, -0.655) 5-minute chart: Price is trading between the MBB (3,024.78) and lower Bollinger Band, with RSI at 62.13 showing positive momentum but not overbought 15-minute chart: Price is near the MBB (3,021.52) with RSI at 57.55, indicating moderate bullish momentum 1-hour chart: Price is testing the MBB (3,015.66) as support, with RSI at 46.80 showing a potential shift from bearish to neutral/bullish momentum The VWAP session bands on all timeframes show price currently within the bands but starting to approach the upper band. The 1-hour chart shows resistance at around 3,028-3,029 (previous VWAP upper band area). This setup takes advantage of the potential upward momentum indicated by the RSI readings across timeframes, with price finding support at the middle Bollinger Bands. The stop loss is placed below the recent support level and below the lower VWAP band on the 15-minute chart, while take profit targets aim for the upper Bollinger Band and recent resistance levels.

Silver (XAG/USD) – Rising Wedge Breakdown & Bearish Setup📊 Overview of the Chart This 4-hour chart of Silver (XAG/USD) provides a classic example of a Rising Wedge Breakdown, a bearish reversal pattern. The price initially followed a strong uptrend, forming a series of higher highs and higher lows, but failed to sustain momentum at the key resistance zone (~$34.00 - $34.50). This led to a breakout to the downside, which has now confirmed a shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish. This analysis will break down each key level, the technical indicators supporting this trade setup, and how traders can approach it effectively. 🛠️ Breakdown of the Chart Components 1️⃣ Rising Wedge Formation (Bearish Pattern Identified) The price action created a Rising Wedge, which is a bearish pattern characterized by an uptrend where the higher highs and higher lows start converging into a narrowing range. This shows that while buyers were pushing prices higher, their strength was gradually fading. The breakdown of this structure signaled a loss of bullish momentum, leading to a shift in trend. 2️⃣ Resistance Level & Sell Zone Identified The resistance level at $34.00 - $34.50 has acted as a supply zone where sellers stepped in, preventing further upside. A bearish rejection at this zone confirms that sellers are still dominant. 3️⃣ Retest of the Broken Support (Key Confirmation) After the breakout from the wedge, the price made a retest of the broken trendline, a classic move before further downside. Retesting this area confirms that it is now acting as resistance rather than support, further strengthening the bearish case. 4️⃣ Trendline Breakout – Shift in Market Structure The dashed trendline was previously supportive, but now that the price has broken below it, it has turned into a resistance level. This shift in market structure is a strong bearish signal. 5️⃣ Key Support Levels & Target Projection The next major support level is at $32.00, a level where price previously found demand. The ultimate target price is around $31.18, which aligns with historical support and Fibonacci retracement levels. 📉 Trading Strategy – How to Trade This Setup? ✅ Entry Point (Short/Sell Setup) A good shorting opportunity arises if the price retests the resistance at $33.50 - $34.00 and shows bearish confirmation (like a rejection candlestick or a bearish engulfing pattern). 📍 Stop Loss (SL) Placement SL should be above $34.20 to avoid getting stopped out by potential fakeouts. 🎯 Take Profit (TP) Levels TP1: $32.00 (First support level) TP2: $31.18 (Final bearish target) 📊 Risk-Reward Ratio Entry at $33.50 - $34.00 with SL at $34.20 and TP at $31.18 provides an excellent risk-to-reward ratio (~1:4). 📌 Market Sentiment & Conclusion 🔴 Bearish signals are dominant, suggesting further downside potential. 📉 A strong bearish move is expected if the price fails to reclaim $34.00. 🎯 Targeting $31.18 in the upcoming sessions. 📢 Final Advice: Traders should watch for confirmation before entering trades. A successful retest and rejection at $33.50 - $34.00 will be a high-probability short setup. 🚀 🔥 Follow price action and risk management principles for a successful trade! 🔥

Use trailing SL to safeguard your money 💰. 📰🗞️Read the Fundamental, Macro Economics, COT Report, Seasonal Factors, Intermarket Analysis, Sentimental Outlook: XCU/USD "The Copper" Metals Market is currently experiencing a bullish trend,., driven by several key factors. ⭐Fundamental Analysis⭐ Overview: Fundamental analysis of XCU/USD involves evaluating the intrinsic value of copper based on economic, industrial, and external influences. At $9.70/lb, copper is at an unusually high level, suggesting strong demand, supply constraints, or external pressures. Economic Growth: Copper is a key industrial metal tied to global GDP growth, particularly in manufacturing, construction, and electrification (e.g., EVs, renewable energy). A price of $9.70 could reflect robust economic expansion, especially in emerging markets like China and India. Inflation and Currency: High inflation in 2025 could weaken the USD, pushing commodity prices like copper higher. Alternatively, a strong USD might temper this rise unless offset by other factors. Industrial Demand: Increased demand from green energy (e.g., solar, wind, EVs) and infrastructure projects could justify this price. Supply Constraints: Disruptions in major copper-producing countries (e.g., Chile, Peru) or reduced mining output could tighten supply, driving prices up. ⭐Macroeconomic Factors⭐ Interest Rates: If the Federal Reserve maintains high rates in 2025 to combat lingering inflation, this could strengthen the USD, typically pressuring commodity prices downward. However, at $9.70, demand might outweigh this effect. Global Growth: Strong GDP growth in China (a top copper consumer) or a global infrastructure boom (e.g., post-2024 recovery) could support high prices. Conversely, a recession would cap upside potential. Inflation: Persistent inflation in 2025 could make copper a hedge, boosting prices. A cooling inflation trend might signal a peak. USD Strength: A weaker USD (e.g., due to Fed rate cuts) would naturally lift XCU/USD, while a stronger USD could challenge the $9.70 level unless supply/demand dynamics dominate. ⭐Geopolitical Factors⭐ Trade Policies: Escalating U.S.-China tensions or tariffs in 2025 could disrupt copper flows, raising prices if China stockpiles or seeks alternative suppliers. Regional Instability: Political unrest in copper-rich regions like Peru or Chile (e.g., protests, strikes) could reduce output, supporting high prices. For instance, Peru’s flat production trends (noted in prior data) might persist. Sanctions/War: Geopolitical events, such as sanctions on Russia (a minor copper player) or conflicts affecting shipping routes (e.g., Red Sea disruptions), could increase costs and prices. Energy Transition: Global commitments to net-zero (e.g., post-COP29 agreements) might amplify copper demand, reinforcing the $9.70 level. ⭐Supply and Demand Factors⭐ Demand: Copper’s role in electrification (EVs, grids) and construction suggests strong demand. At $9.70, industries might face cost pressures, potentially curbing consumption unless offset by growth. Supply: Multi-month low inventories (e.g., Shanghai warehouses) and challenges in mining (e.g., declining ore grades, environmental regulations) could limit supply. A price this high implies significant tightness. Substitution Risk: High prices might encourage substitution (e.g., aluminum in wiring), though copper’s conductivity makes this limited in key applications. Stockpiles: LME warehouse data showing declining stocks would support $9.70; rising inventories could signal a reversal. ⭐Technical Factors⭐ Price Levels: At $9.70, XCU/USD might be testing a major resistance (e.g., a psychological $10.00 level). Historical highs (around $4.90 in 2022) suggest this is a breakout, potentially overextended. Moving Averages: If the 50-day MA ($9.50) and 200-day MA ($9.00) are below the current price, this indicates bullish momentum. A drop below these could signal a correction. RSI: An RSI above 70 (overbought) at $9.70 suggests a potential pullback; below 50 would indicate bearish momentum. Support/Resistance: Support might lie at $9.00–$9.20 (former resistance turned support), with resistance at $10.00–$10.50. ⭐Sentiment Factors⭐ Market Sentiment: At $9.70, sentiment is likely bullish, driven by optimism about industrial demand and supply fears. However, over exuberance could lead to profit-taking. X Trends: Discussions on X about unexpected commodity price spikes (akin to trending weather surprises) might reflect surprise at this level, hinting at speculative froth. Media: Positive coverage of copper’s role in green tech could fuel bullish sentiment; negative economic outlooks might shift it bearish. ⭐Seasonal Factors⭐ Construction Cycles: Spring (March–May) typically sees higher copper demand due to construction in the Northern Hemisphere, supporting $9.70. Chinese Demand: Post-Lunar New Year (Feb 2025) often boosts industrial activity in China, aligning with this price spike. Historical Patterns: Copper prices can peak mid-year if supply lags seasonal demand, suggesting $9.70 might hold short-term but face pressure later. ⭐Intermarket Analysis⭐ USD Index: A declining DXY (e.g., below 100) would support higher XCU/USD; a rising DXY could cap gains. Gold (XAU/USD): Copper often correlates with gold as an inflation hedge. If gold is also at highs (e.g., $2,900+), this reinforces bullish commodity trends. Oil Prices: High oil prices (e.g., $90+/barrel) increase mining costs, supporting copper prices but potentially slowing industrial demand. Equities: Strong industrial stocks (e.g., mining, EV firms) suggest copper demand; a broader market sell-off could drag prices down. ⭐Market Sentiment Analysis of All Types of Investors⭐ Retail Investors: Likely bullish at $9.70, chasing the trend via ETFs or futures, but prone to panic selling on dips. Institutional Investors: Hedge funds and banks might be long copper, betting on supply shortages, though some could hedge if overbought signals emerge. Industrial Users: Manufacturers (e.g., EV makers) might lock in prices via forwards, supporting the market, but high costs could prompt hedging or substitution. Speculators: High volatility at $9.70 attracts traders; sentiment could turn bearish if momentum fades. ⭐Next Trend Move and Future Trend Prediction⭐ Short-Term: Likely a pullback to $9.20–$9.50 due to overbought conditions (RSI > 70) and profit-taking. Target: $9.30. Medium-Term: If supply remains tight and demand grows (e.g., China’s 5% growth goal), prices could test $10.00–$10.50. Target: $10.20. Long-Term: Sustained electrification trends might push prices to $11.00+, but economic slowdowns or substitution could cap at $9.00. Target: $10.50 (bullish) or $8.50 (bearish). ⭐Overall Summary Outlook⭐ Current Stance: At $9.70 on March 12, 2025, XCU/USD is in a Long/Bullish phase short-term, driven by strong demand, supply constraints, and a weaker USD. However, the extreme price suggests a Short/Bearish correction is imminent medium-term due to overbought signals and potential demand softening. Bullish Case: Continued supply disruptions (e.g., Peru/Chile strikes), robust Chinese growth, and green tech demand could push prices toward $10.50–$11.00 long-term. Bearish Case: Economic slowdown, USD strength, or inventory buildup could trigger a decline to $8.50–$9.00 within 6–12 months. Recommendation: Hold long positions short-term but prepare for a correction. Watch $9.50 support and $10.00 resistance for trend confirmation. 📌Keep in mind that these factors can change rapidly, and it's essential to stay up-to-date with market developments and adjust your analysis accordingly. ⚠️Trading Alert : News Releases and Position Management 📰 🗞️ 🚫🚏 As a reminder, news releases can have a significant impact on market prices and volatility.
