Gold maintains bullish mindsetThere is a fierce game between bulls and bears in gold prices, but we remain bullish in the long term. The intraday layout follows the general trend and focuses on the gains and losses of the 3260 support below. As long as it remains above 3260, we will maintain our bullish outlook and wait for the gold price to fall slightly to around 3275 before we can intervene and go long in batches!
Gold is long near 3275, stop loss 3260, target 3300

XAUUSD/GOLD: Gold remains offered below 3300Gold gave up Thursday’s gains and fell back toward the 3260 per troy ounce level by the end of the week, as improving market sentiment — driven by hopes for positive progress in the US-China trade dispute — weighed on safe-haven demand.
The overheated gold rally appears to be due for further cooling. Traders seem to be buying into rumors that a trade agreement between the US and China could be reached soon, even though China has publicly refuted those claims. The risk is that markets may be misreading the US’s language regarding whether the two sides are merely "talking" or actually "negotiating," which could mean that a deal remains far off — potentially leading to another move back toward 3500.
From a technical perspective, the daily Pivot Point at 3335 is the first key upside level that needs to be regained. Early in Friday’s session, there was a brief attempt to test the R1 intraday resistance near 3381. Should momentum continue, gold prices could extend the rally toward the R2 resistance at 3414, breaking above the 3400 mark.
On the downside, the S1 support was briefly breached this morning, but price action has since recovered back above it at 3302. Below that, the S2 support at 3256 comes into focus, followed by the key technical floor near 3245, which aligns with the April 11 high.
Golden three-game winning streak, next week’s market?Gold's 1-hour moving average continues to be short, but after gold bottomed out at first-line support near 3265, gold rebounded to more than 50 US dollars. So is this rebound a reversal? Not sure yet, because the fluctuations are basically around 100 US dollars every day, and a rebound of 50 US dollars can hardly be called a reversal. The strength of next week is the key.
If gold does not rebound very strongly next week, then gold will still fluctuate and be bearish. The resistance of the 1-hour moving average above gold is near 3354, and the top of the negative line of gold on Friday is near 3352. If there is no effective breakthrough of these two positions next week, it will still be a fluctuating and bearish trend.
Short gold directlyGold's 1-hour moving average is still in the form of a dead cross, and gold fell back again after rising high, so gold is now beginning to fluctuate. Although gold broke through the 3367 line, gold did not stand firm after the breakthrough. For the time being, gold is still fluctuating in a wide range.
Gold pullback time, resistance rejection? How does it go.The market bounced off the resistance and declined, with a correction of about -6% after the previous bullish momentum. The price action formed a gap, which was later filled. It is worth noting that this pullback movement is similar to a similar pattern observed earlier this month, when the market also pulled back by -6.6%. Currently, the price is testing the area of the previous week's high, which may constitute a support area. After such a rapid decline, the price usually enters a consolidation phase - we may see a period of sideways trading around 3300. However, if a rejection candle is formed at the current level, I expect the price to move higher and retest the recent resistance area. My target is the resistance area around 3500.
The market has rebounded strongly from the support level that I highlighted yesterday. The price is likely to trade sideways above the channel border and the support level of 3300. After the consolidation, the price may resume the upward trajectory. As I mentioned earlier, the market experienced a 6.83% correction, after which we may see a continuation of the bullish trend. As long as the price remains above the support level, the market is likely to continue to move higher. If the support level is lost, the market may fall and form a second round of bearish movement, eventually pointing to the support level of 3200 points. However, I expect the price to move higher and retest at least the 50% bearish retracement. My target is the resistance level near 3400 points.
Quaid is working hard to provide brothers with analysis and suggestions based on international and market trends. I hope you can see Quaid's efforts.
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.

Trading ideas: Buy gold near 3250, stop loss 3240, target 3280
4/15 Gold Trading StrategyYesterday, gold experienced a mild pullback and found support near the 3200 level. As mentioned during intraday updates, as long as 3188 holds, it remains a good opportunity to consider buying. Currently, the price has rebounded above 3220. From the candlestick formation, the trend remains strong, and there is still room for further upside. The previous high near 3245 is likely to be tested again, and there’s potential for a move towards 3260.
However, it’s important to pay close attention to the 3230–3240 zone, which was a key area of trapped long positions from last week. This supply zone hasn’t been fully tested since the last drop, and as prices revisit this area, those looking to break even may create significant selling pressure. If this pressure leads to a rejection, we could see a sharp pullback.
Structurally, a failure to break above this resistance could signal the formation of a short-term top, presenting a tactical opportunity for the bears. Conversely, if gold manages to break and hold above 3245, short-term bullish momentum may continue, though the 3250–3270 region remains a strong resistance zone.
On the downside, if prices retreat again and break below 3188, it will likely confirm a deeper correction. Key support then shifts to the 3158–3147 range, which represents a significant medium-term support zone.
Today’s Trading Recommendations:
Sell Zone: 3250-3270 – A strong resistance area, suitable for initiating short positions for aggressive traders.
Buy Zone: 3158 - 3147 – A technical support region ideal for light long entries if price pulls back.
Range Trading: 3240 -3200 and 3178 -3220 – These zones are suitable for flexible trading strategies based on real-time momentum and price behavior.
Summary:
Gold remains in a short-term bullish trend, but significant resistance lies ahead. Caution is advised when chasing long positions at higher levels. If holding short positions from the 3230+ area, avoid emotional stop-losses—patience could offer better exit opportunities as the market corrects. A bearish setup is brewing, and once a clear direction emerges, volatility may increase rapidly. Be prepared with a solid plan in advance.
