How to Find Key Levels on Gold XAUUSD Chart Easily
In this short article, you will learn how to find powerful levels on a gold chart.
I will explain to you what is a key level, how to apply it in trading. We will discuss key levels and different time frames, valid and invalid key levels. I will share with you a lot of useful trading tips.
First, let's start with a definition of a key level.
Key level is a single important historic price level on the chart,
from where a significant price movement initiated.
Usually, key levels are based on the edges of candlestick wicks.
Look at Gold chart on a 4H time frame.
I underlined a key level. You can see how strong was a bullish reaction to that. The price tested that level, bounced up and formed a long wick.
Key levels that are above current prices will be called resistances .
We will assume that sellers are placing their selling orders there.
Above is the example of a key resistance on Gold on an hourly time frame.
The price tested 2479 level, dropped rapidly and formed a long wick.
From a key resistance level, a bearish movement is expected.
Key levels that are below current prices will be called supports.
We will assume that buyers are placing their buying orders there.
That is the example of a key support level on Gold chart on a daily.
From a key support level a bullish movement is expected.
Key levels that are lying close to each other will compose support and resistance clusters.
Look at 2 key support levels on Gold on a 4H time frame.
These 2 levels are lying very close to each other and compose a support cluster.
3 key resistance above will compose a resistance cluster on Gold on a daily time frame, because these levels lye close to each other.
With time, the market tends to break key levels.
If the price violated a key support level and closes below that, it turns into a resistance level.
Look at a breakout of key support on an hourly time frame on Gold chart.
After a candle close below that, the broken key level turned into resistance.
If the price violates a key resistance level and closes above that, it turns into a support level.
Above is a recently broken horizontal resistance on Gold on a 4H time frame. After a breakout, that key level turned into support.
Key levels tend to lose their significance with time.
Key level that is broken by the buyers and the sellers or vice versa loses the status of a key level.
The underlined level was a significant resistance in the past.
However, the market stopped respecting this level and it lost its importance.
Remember that you can find key levels on any time frame.
But key levels are not equal in their significance.
Key levels that are spotted on higher time frame will be stronger than key levels that are spotted on lower time frames.
On the chart on the left, I underlined key support and resistance levels on a daily time frame on Gold.
While on the right, I market key support and resistance levels on a 4H time frame.
Daily structures will be considered to be more significant structures.
Hence, the market reaction to such structures tend to be stronger.
In comparison to support and resistance areas,
key levels provide the safest points to look for a trading opportunity from.
Once you spotted a confirmation after a test of a key level,
simply set your stop loss below a support or above a resistance.
You will have a very good reward to risk ratio.
Key levels play a crucial role in technical analysis of Gold.
No matter whether you are day trader, scalper, swing trader or investor, key levels is the first thing that you should always start your analysis from.

SL1 ---> Low-risk status: 3x-4x Leverage
SL2 ---> Mid-risk status: 5x-8x Leverage
(If there is just one SL on the chart, I suggest, low risk status)
Considering the price trend in its previous channel, by repeating the stabilization of the price at the bottom of the second parallel channel, it can be expected that the price will continue to move up to the top of the new channel.
The price breaking above the specified level can increase the certainty of the realization of the price target.
The price falling below the red level cancels the bullish scenario of Binance Coin.
Potential price targets for the levels will be $950 and $1,447.

Bull Market Begins NowFor several years now, I've been tracking variations of this chart, and Bitcoin's adherence to its four-year cycle remains striking. Every bear market, people speculate that the cycle has been “broken,” yet Bitcoin consistently follows its historical trajectory, nearly to the day. This pattern isn’t directly impacted by external events but is subtly shaped by the U.S. macroeconomic landscape, which can either dampen or amplify its moves.
From each halving, we typically see about 154 days of consolidation before Bitcoin breaks the all-time high of the previous cycle. Technically, we did breach the previous high briefly due to ETF-driven news, though it was just a wick. Now, we’ve just tapped that previous all-time high again, but it’s possible we’ll need to cool off and consolidate until the election before we see another major move. During this time, Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) tends to rise for another month, after which we often witness a significant rotation into altcoins as “old money” seeks higher volatility. With the upcoming election and the possibility of a Trump victory, there’s likely to be renewed enthusiasm and optimism for crypto markets.

India's Gold Imports Surge Amid Strong Domestic Demand
India's gold imports increased by 21.78% to $27 billion during April-September of this fiscal year, influenced by strong domestic demand, according to government data. This rise in imports impacts the country’s current account deficit (CAD). For the same period in the previous fiscal year (2023-24), imports stood at $22.25 billion.
An industry expert highlighted that the ongoing festival season has significantly boosted demand, contributing to the increase in imports.

THE KOG REPORTTHE KOG REPORT:
In last week’s KOG Report we said we wouldn’t be looking to long for the early part of the week, instead gave the path moving up into the 2727 and 2742 price targets where we wanted to attempt the short. This worked well during the early part of the week, but we didn’t get to complete the move, instead our red boxes kicked in and we continued to look upside into the 2739 and 2745 price point. We then updated traders with the hotspots at the 2750-55 region and suggested looking for a reaction in price there mid-week which was tapped into and rejected giving the lovely move down that we experienced completing the first red box target 2710 before the bounce upside.
It wasn’t an easy week, very choppy and frustrating with burst of volume but we didn’t do to badly completing 6 gold Excalibur targets on top of the bias level targets and the red box targets. Small stops and big captures should have given our followers a decent week on Gold moving level to level with the red boxes we share as well as KOG’s bias of the day. Excalibur performed again with 21 targets completed across the other pairs we trade.
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
For this week we’re seeing a little more bullish movement on Gold but there’s a level above which needs to be watched and needs to be broken for us to go higher and target that 2800 level! So we’ll look for price to attempt the 2750-55 region during the early session and if rejected there is potential for the pullback to present itself into the 2735-32 red box defence. It’s this 2732-35 region we feel an opportunity to the long is available back up to attempt 2763 and above that 2765. Please note, 2765 is the level we need to break and hold above for us to attempt to target higher pricing for now.
Those looking to attempt the short trades should be looking at the levels of 2760-5 and if broken 2780-5 for opportunities to capture the pullbacks and maybe even a short swing.
Now, we have a slight issue here with the extension of the move this week and with a lot of news to come together with it being the end of the month, we’re concerned about profit taking and a potential sell off, so for that reason, we’ll play level to level on the upside picking the right levels and using the red boxes for our entries and exits which have proven to give the 50-70pip captures quite easily.
KOG’s BIAS FOR THE WEEK:
Bullish above 2730 with targets above 2755, 2762 and 2779
Bearish on break of 2730 with target below 2709
RED BOXES:
Break above 2755 for 2762, 2768, 2780
Break below 2742 for 2732, 2720, 2709
Good luck for the week.

AUDUSD - Inflation in Australia, under control?!The AUDUSD currency pair is below the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4H timeframe and is moving in its medium-term bearish channel. In case of an upward correction due to the release of today's economic data, we can see a supply zone and sell within that zone with a suitable risk reward.
Yesterday, China urged the United States to change its stance on Taiwan’s independence, asking it to clearly state “we oppose Taiwan independence” instead of “we do not support Taiwan independence.” The United States, however, refused to make this change and continues to maintain informal relations with Taiwan, providing support and military supplies to the island.
Additionally, reports indicate that China’s top legislative body is reviewing a new financial package valued at over 10 trillion yuan, likely to be announced on November 8. China plans to raise 10 trillion yuan in new debt over the coming years through special treasury and local government bonds. This financial package includes 6 trillion yuan to mitigate local government debt risks and up to 4 trillion yuan for purchasing idle lands and properties.
Should Donald Trump win the U.S. presidential election, China may unveil an even stronger financial package. Moreover, China is planning to issue over $1.4 trillion in additional debt in the coming years.
A poll by Ipsos shows that the popularity gap between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump among registered voters has narrowed to one percentage point, with Harris at 44% support, just one percent ahead of Trump at 43%.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has predicted that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points at least once more in 2024. He also remarked that the decline in U.S. interest rates will be less than people expect.
Australia’s inflation data largely met expectations and was insufficient to prompt any change in the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) rate decision. Annual inflation for the third quarter stood at 2.8%, slightly below the expected 2.9%. The monthly rate was 2.1%, with the total inflation at 2.8%.
This annual inflation rate is the lowest since early 2021; however, core inflation remains above the RBA’s 2-3% target. The reduction in annual inflation is mainly due to government subsidies and lower gasoline prices, although service inflation remains high.
The RBA will hold a meeting on November 4-5, and given these figures, no rate cut is expected during this session. The final meeting will be on December 9-10, and no rate cut is anticipated for that session either. February remains the anticipated timeframe for analysts, though if the labor market remains strong and core inflation is high, a rate cut may be delayed until April or May.
XAU/USD 30 October 2024 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Gold’s rally continues, driven by the Fed’s dovish tone and escalating geopolitical tensions, further reinforcing its safe-haven appeal.
Price has printed a bullish iBOS, positioning it within an internal low and a fractal high, with the bearish CHoCH level denoted by a blue dotted line.
Intraday Expectation: Since the internal range has yet to establish, I’ll remain on standby for now.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
As noted in the weekly analysis from 27 October 2024, the daily timeframe’s CHoCH positioning was distant, making it likely for both H4 and M15 to print bullish iBOS, which has since materialised.
Price has now printed two bullish iBOS' within a significantly narrowed internal range, and we’re currently trading between an internal low and a fractal high, with CHoCH positioning marked by a blue dotted line.
Intraday Expectation: Technically, price is expected to react at the internal 50% EQ discount to target the weak internal high. However, a bearish iBOS is also plausible.
As emphasised before, price remains highly volatile due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and the Fed’s softer stance.
M15 Chart:
KAVA is really bullishWe have signs of a trend reversal at the bottom for KAVA.
Many buy orders have been collected. In our opinion, the upcoming resistances will be broken and the price will reach the red box.
The target is a red box.
Closing a daily candle below the invalidation level will violate this analysis.
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management

US30 REVERSAL MIGHT BE LURKINGThe US30 is currently in a corrective phase but approaching key support and liquidity levels. A potential bullish reversal is expected from around 42,530, targeting the buy-side liquidity near 43,330. I'll be watching for reactions around the SSL and FVG for entry opportunities, with a stop below 42,393 for risk management.

GBPUSD - UK is on the verge of an important economic decisioThe GBPUSD currency pair is located between EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4H timeframe and is moving in its medium-term bullish channel. In case of correction due to the release of today's economic data, we can see demand zone and buy within zone with appropriate risk reward. If the upward trend continues, this currency pair can be sold within the specified supply zones
The UK budget is set to be announced today, Wednesday, October 30, 2024. Analysts at Commerzbank predict that if the budget combines austerity measures with long-term investment optimism, it could positively impact the pound and bolster the UK’s long-term growth potential.
The government faces the challenge of stimulating investment to address years of underfunding in the public sector. The difficulty lies in the fact that the UK has been spending beyond its income in recent years, which has complicated its financial situation.
Meanwhile, prices in UK stores have fallen at their fastest rate in over three years. However, the budget announcement by Finance Minister Rachel Reeves could help inflation rebound. The annual store price index has decreased to 0.8%, marking the weakest level since August 2021. Food prices have risen by 1.9%, and clothing prices have also increased for the first time since January. Data shows that consumer inflation fell to 1.9% in September.
On the other hand, in the U.S., Professor Jeremy Siegel from the Wharton School believes the Federal Reserve may choose to hold rates steady next week if the October non-farm payroll (NFP) report proves very strong. Siegel notes that if the labor market report is robust, many FOMC members may conclude that it’s time to pause. He also predicts that the rate-cutting cycle will include three to four rate reductions, but long-term rates are likely to remain high. In August, Siegel advocated for an emergency 75 basis-point rate cut by the Fed.
