Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar (XAUUSD) 4-Hour Chart - OANDA4-hour performance of the Gold Spot price against the U.S. Dollar (XAUUSD) from late July to early August 2025. The current price is 3,362.895, reflecting a +72.775 (+2.21%) increase. Key levels include a sell price of 3,362.200 and a buy price of 3,363.590. The chart highlights a recent upward trend with a notable resistance zone around 3,395.716 and a support level near 3,336.129, as indicated by the shaded areas.
XAUUSD:BUYThere is no need to worry about holding long orders mentioned last Friday. Gold prices continued to rise this week after a pullback. The price has risen to 3372. According to the research team of our swing trading analysis team, the bullish trend will continue.
Earlier I informed members that some buy orders were closed at high levels. At that time, the short-term high was around 3370. After closing the long orders, the price subsequently fell. This is the advantage of swing trading. You can use accurate trading signals to trade in batches in the short term, thereby creating opportunities for quick profits.
After the pullback, there is still good room for buying and opportunities.
8/4: Watch Support at 3343–3337 and Resistance at 3372–3378Good morning, everyone!
Last Friday, gold rallied strongly, driven by a combination of favorable economic data and bullish technical signals, decisively breaking above the 3337–3343 resistance zone. During the subsequent pullback, price action remained firm above 3337, followed by a secondary upward move.
From a technical standpoint, the structure suggests the potential for continued upward consolidation, with the possibility of filling the gap near 3396. However, significant resistance remains between 3372 and 3378 — failure to break through this zone decisively may result in a short-term pullback before further gains.
Key levels to watch:
Initial support: 3348 and 3337–3343 zone
Major support: 3312–3300 zone (a break below could signal deeper downside risk)
Trading Strategy:
Focus on intraday setups around these critical areas. Look for buy opportunities on dips as long as support holds, while remaining cautious of sharp pullbacks near strong resistance.
Gold 4H timeframe Based on the chart my shared (Gold 4H timeframe with Ichimoku cloud), here are the identified target points:
📈 Upside Targets:
1. First Target: 3380
This is marked just above the Ichimoku cloud breakout.
It is a short-term resistance zone.
2. Second Target: 3420
This is the higher target zone indicated in the chart.
It aligns with a previous high and potential resistance area.

🟡 Key Support:
Support Zone: Around 3322 – 3353
Price needs to hold above this zone to maintain the bullish momentum.
Distribution Phase at the Top, Key Support in FocusFollowing a sharp breakout from the demand zone around $3,310, gold has entered a sideways consolidation range between $3,355 – $3,367. The price has repeatedly tested the support at $3,352 – $3,354 but failed to form higher highs beyond $3,367. This signals buyer exhaustion and a potential distribution pattern at the top.
The inability to push higher suggests increased risk of a bearish breakdown.
Key Technical Levels
Immediate Resistance: $3,367.77
Short-Term Support: $3,352 – $3,354 (blue box zone)
Major Support Below: $3,310 – $3,315 (previous breakout base, near 0.5 Fibonacci retracement)
Suggested Trading Strategies
Primary Scenario: Sell on Breakdown
Trigger Condition: Price breaks below $3,352 with increasing volume
Entry: $3,350
Stop Loss: $3,360
Target: $3,320 – $3,310
This is a momentum-following setup, ideal if the current support fails.
Alternative Scenario: Buy from Major Support
Entry Zone: $3,310 – $3,315
Stop Loss: Below $3,300
Target: $3,345 – $3,355
Suitable for counter-trend traders looking to catch a rebound off strong demand.
Additional Technical Signals
EMA 20 (15m): Flattening out, indicating loss of bullish momentum
RSI: Hovering around 50, showing a balance between buyers and sellers
Volume: Gradually decreasing, suggesting a potential breakout setup is building
Gold is currently in a distribution phase after a sharp upward move. If the $3,352 support zone breaks, a retracement toward $3,310 – $3,315 is likely. However, bulls may step back in around that zone for a potential rebound.

XAUUSD analysis - 1H FVG and OB setupsOn the 1H chart, price has made a sharp bullish move from the lower 1H OB zone (3,275 – 3,285) and is now hovering just below the 1H supply zone.
🔴 1H Supply Zone (OB):
3,354 – 3,368 → Price is consolidating here with no strong rejection yet.
🟢 1H Demand Zone (OB):
3,337 – 3,344 → First area to watch for potential bullish reaction.
👁 Mid-level support zone (waiting for confirmation):
3,310 – 3,320 → If price pulls back here and gives confirmation on lower timeframe, we’ll look for long setups.
📌 Trade scenarios:
1️⃣ Bullish: Wait for a retracement into 3,310 – 3,320, and if confirmed on LTF (3M–5M), go long.
2️⃣ If price drops deeper into the lower OB zone 3,275 – 3,285 and gives strong bullish reaction → potential long setup again.
3️⃣ Bearish: If price rejects the current OB zone (3,354 – 3,368) with confirmation → short entry targeting the green zones below (~3,320 or 3,310).
✅ Entry only after confirmation on lower timeframe
❌ No confirmation = no trade
Bullish Momentum Confirmed with Strong Breakout ZoneGold (XAUUSD) on the 15-minute chart has shown a powerful bullish breakout from the accumulation zone near 3,305 USD, followed by a strong rally and subsequent consolidation above the new demand zone at 3,340–3,346 USD.
Key Observations:
- Support Levels:
3,305 USD: Origin of the impulsive breakout move – key bullish order block and high-volume demand zone.
3,340–3,346 USD: Newly established support from post-breakout consolidation.
3,331 USD: Minor intraday support, previously tested resistance level.
- Resistance Levels:
3,367–3,370 USD: Current short-term resistance zone where price is facing rejection.
Break above 3,370 USD would open potential toward 3,385 USD based on Fibonacci extensions.
- Trend & Indicators:
Price is forming a bullish flag pattern after a vertical impulsive move.
EMA 21/50 likely aligning beneath price on this timeframe, supporting trend continuation.
Volume surged heavily during breakout from 3,305 USD, confirming institutional involvement.
RSI (not shown) is expected to be cooling off from overbought, setting up for another leg higher.
Fibonacci Analysis:
Applying Fib from 3,305 low to 3,359 high, the 0.382 level sits near 3,339, aligning with the current demand zone.
Any pullback into this region may be treated as a buy-the-dip opportunity.
- Suggested Intraday Trading Strategy:
- Buy on Retest
Entry: 3,342–3,346 USD (demand zone)
Stop Loss: Below 3,331 USD
Target 1: 3,367 USD
Target 2: 3,378–3,385 USD (Fibonacci extension and structure projection)
- Avoid short-selling unless price closes below 3,331 USD with volume confirmation.
Conclusion:
Gold is maintaining bullish structure on lower timeframe, and current price action suggests potential continuation after consolidation. Patience for retest entries at key zones can yield high R:R setups.
XAUUSD shows short-term bearish divergence.XAUUSD shows short-term bearish divergence.
On August 1 gold increased dramatically after the NFP report data came out. No wonder, recession risks generally drive XAUUSD higher due to increased safe-haven demand, a weaker dollar, and expectations of lower interest rates. Gold’s negative correlation with equities and its role as an inflation hedge make it a preferred asset during economic uncertainty.
However, on short-term timeframe, the bullion shows bearish divergence, the asset is to overbought and needs some downward correction in order to cool down a bit. Additionally, the price is retesting former trendline from below. The decline towards 3,300.00 is expected.
Gold price analysis week 32The recently released Nonfarm data has become an important catalyst, officially breaking the previous bearish wave structure and shaping a completely new uptrend for gold prices. Breaking above the wave 1 peak at the 3315 area is a clear confirmation signal that the downtrend has ended.
In that context, the trading strategy for next week should prioritize buying orders. This rally has the potential to push gold prices to historical peaks if the bullish momentum is maintained with stable trading volume.
Specific trading strategy:
Important support zone: 3333 – 3315
Short-term resistance zone: 3373 – 3416
Weak non-farm payroll data injects newconfidence into gold bullsGold rebounded strongly late last week, shaking off early-week losses and surging toward key resistance at $3,400 per ounce as weak US jobs data rekindled hopes for a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
Spot gold closed at $3,363.16 on Friday (August 1st), up 2.23% on the day, or $73.24, after hitting a high of $3,363.37.
Lukman Otunuga, senior market strategist at FXTM, said Friday's rally in gold prices was impressive, driven by a plunging US dollar.
"From the chart, bulls were on a rampage that day, with $3,400 within 2% of the price at that point," he said. "With prices breaking through $3,330 resistance, the weekly chart is significantly bullish. A weekly close above this level could signal a move toward $3,400."
Last week, gold faced significant selling pressure after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady and Chairman Powell raised uncertainty about a possible September rate cut.
"We haven't made a decision about September yet," Powell said at a press conference following the Fed's decision.
After disappointing U.S. job market data, lingering doubts about a September rate cut dissipated. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. economy created only 73,000 jobs last month. Furthermore, total job growth in May and June was revised downward by 258,000. According to the revised data, only 14,000 jobs were created in June and 19,000 in May.
"This weaker-than-expected jobs report has dented confidence in the U.S. economy and put pressure on the dollar as markets anticipate a more dovish Fed, potentially leaning toward rate cuts to stimulate growth," said Aaron Hill, senior market analyst at FP Markets. "For gold, the disappointing jobs data reinforces its role as a hedge against economic uncertainty, supporting prices as investors seek stability."
According to the CME FedWatch tool, the market currently sees a 92% probability of the Fed easing monetary policy in September. Last Thursday, the market saw only a 38% chance of a rate cut.
Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group, said the Federal Reserve may ultimately regret its decision to hold interest rates steady earlier this week.
"A rate cut in September is a definite possibility, perhaps even a 50 basis point cut, to make up for lost time," he said.
Naeem Aslam, chief investment officer at Zaye Capital Markets, said he sees the potential for gold prices to steadily rise to $3,400 an ounce given the sharp shift in interest rate expectations.
"If the Fed signals a dovish stance, speculative inflows could push gold prices above the psychological $3,400 level, especially as investors seek safe havens during economic uncertainty," he said. "Technical indicators, such as a bullish trend in gold ETFs and rising open interest, support this potential breakout. We believe traders are already positioning for a dip bounce, with some analysts pointing to seasonal patterns in gold that typically gain traction after August. While volatility may still limit near-term gains, the overall trend looks positive, and the typical summer lull may be over."
This week will be light on economic data, with investors continuing to digest Friday's jobs report. Meanwhile, some analysts expect the economic uncertainty stemming from President Trump's ongoing trade war and global tariffs to further boost safe-haven demand for gold.
Trade tensions are providing another layer of support for gold. President Trump set an August 1st deadline for countries to finalize a trade deal. While the United States reached agreements with Japan and the European Union, resulting in a 15% increase in import tariffs, many major trading partners still face the risk of tariff increases.
As a result, exports from many countries now face significant cost increases. Specifically, Canada, the United States' second-largest trading partner, faces a 35% tariff increase. Meanwhile, India faces a 25% increase, Taiwanese exports will be subject to a 20% tariff, South African products face a 30% tariff, and Swiss goods face a 39% tariff.
Pepperstone market strategist Michael Brown said he remains bullish on gold, citing global trade uncertainty as a key factor driving its value as a monetary asset.
He said: "The diversification of reserves away from the US dollar and into gold, particularly in emerging markets, will continue for the foreseeable future. Of course, potential safe-haven demand stemming from concerns about the state of the US economy will further support the bullish view. The upside levels to watch remain the $3,400 mark, followed by a high of around $3,445, and then a potential run towards the all-time high of $3,500. I certainly wouldn't rule out the possibility of new highs in gold prices before the end of the year."
Chris Vecchio, Head of Futures Strategy and FX at Tastylive, said he sees gold as a very beneficial global currency.
"Tariffs mean that countries will trade less in US dollars, so I expect gold to continue to perform well as the world searches for an alternative monetary asset."
Smart Money / Price Action 5min scalping road map# 📈 ABC Pattern Explained for TradingView (Smart Money / Price Action)
The **ABC pattern** is a 3-leg corrective move in market structure, commonly used in price action, Elliott Wave, and Smart Money trading. It's mainly used to identify **pullbacks** or **correction zones** before a continuation of the main trend.
---
## 🔹 Structure of the ABC Pattern:
- **Point A**: The beginning of the move — often the end of a strong impulsive wave.
- **Point B**: The first retracement or pullback from Point A.
- **Point C**: The second corrective move that often goes beyond A, forming the completion of the correction phase.
The ABC legs can be:
- **A to B**: Impulsive or corrective.
- **B to C**: Generally a counter-trend retracement.
---
## 🔸 How to Identify on Chart:
1. **Find a strong trend** (uptrend or downtrend).
2. **Look for the first correction** — mark it as Point A to B.
3. **Next wave** that attempts to continue the trend but fails — mark the end as Point C.
4. **Use Fibonacci tools** to measure:
- **B retracement of A** (typically 50%–78.6%)
- **C extension** of AB (typically 127.2%–161.8%)
---
## 🔧 How to Draw on TradingView:
> You can use the `Trend-Based Fib Extension` tool or draw manually using the `Path` or `ABC pattern` tool.
### Step-by-Step:
1. Select the `ABC Pattern` tool from the **left toolbar** under “Prediction and Measurement Tools”.
2. Click on **Point A** (3320$).
3. Click on **Point B** (3350$).
4. Click on **Point C** (final corrective wave 3300$ ).
5. TradingView will automatically plot the shape with labels.
---
## 🧠 Pro Tips:
- Look for **liquidity sweep** or **order blocks** near Point C.
- Entry opportunity is often **after C**, targeting a **continuation** of the main trend.
- ABC is often part of **larger structures** like **complex pullbacks** or **smart money retracements**.
---
## ✅ Example Use:
- **Buy Scenario**:
- Strong uptrend → Price drops from A to B (retracement).
- Then price rises to C, failing to break above A → Possible new higher low formed.
- Enter long if price breaks above Point B again.
- **Sell Scenario**:
- Strong downtrend → A to B is a pullback.
- C attempts new high, fails → short entry after break of B.

Nonfarm Pay Attention Zone✏️ OANDA:XAUUSD is recovering and increasing towards the resistance zone of yesterday's US session. The 3315 zone is considered a strategic zone for Nonfarm today. A sweep up and then collapse to the liquidity zone of 3250 will be scenario 1 for Nonfarm today. If this important price zone is broken, we will not implement SELL strategies but wait for retests to BUY. It is very possible that when breaking 3315, it will create a DOW wave with the continuation of wave 3 when breaking the peak of wave 1.
📉 Key Levels
SELL trigger: Reject resistance 3315.
Target 3250
BUY Trigger: Break out and retest resistance 3315

Gold (XAU/USD): Supply Zone Rejection & Bearish Breakdown Chart Breakdown:
Supply zone rejection: Gold revisited the “supply zone” (light green/grey area) and failed to break above — a classic signal of seller dominance.
Uptrend invalidated: A sharp rise (steep black trendline) ended with a peak marked by the green arrow, followed by a decisive breakdown.
Ichimoku Cloud test: Prices slipped through the Ichimoku components, reinforcing the shift to bearish sentiment.
Potential targets: The red/green risk‑reward box highlights a short position, targeting ~3,347 then ~3,318 levels (blue labels) as initial support zones.
Strong supply base: The extensive grey zone below marks a "stronger supply zone" — this could cap any modest bounce and keep the downtrend intact.
🔍 Interpretation:
Bias: Bearish — sellers have taken control after a failed breakout.
Strategy: Short on rallies toward the mid‑green/red box (~3,373–3,380), targeting ~3,347 first and then ~3,319. Watch for support at the strong supply region (~3,292) for potential reversal or consolidation.
Risk management: Keep stop above the red zone—above recent highs (~3,380+) to limit risk.
🚀 In a nutshell: After failing to break supply and losing its short‑term uptrend, gold appears poised for a pullback. The next key levels to watch are ~3,347 and ~3,319—where buyers might step back in, or the downtrend continues toward the deeper supply base.

Traders Union
Time Price Research
.
A drop below $3,326–$3,320 risks further decline, targeting $3,300, $3,297, and eventually $3,255 if breakdown momentum builds .
📉 Market Context & Drivers
U.S. dollar strength, easing safe-haven demand, and optimistic trade sentiment are constraining gold’s upside unless breakout forces emerge .
Key upcoming catalysts: FOMC guidance, U.S. macro data (GDP, inflation), and geopolitical developments—their tone could tip the bias direction .
⚙️ Trade Rules & Risk Management
Wait for a confirmed breakout or breakdown—do not trade mid-range.
Confirm break with at least one close outside the triangle and rising volume .
Position sizing: Risk 1–2% per trade, adjust stop-loss to price structure ($8–$15 depending on volatility).
Take profits in stages: scale out at minor milestones (first targets), trail stop for extended targets.
Avoid chasing price within the middle of the triangle—risk/reward is unfavorable.
🧠 Why This Plan?
Follows textbook symmetrical triangle trading methodology: entry on breakout, stop beyond pattern opposite side, projection based on triangle height .
Aligns with broader outlook: bearish unless convincing upside breakout appears, consistent with analyst consensus hedging current bull exhaustion and wait‑and‑see on policy signals .
✅ Summary
Gold is coiling inside a tight triangle range near $3,326–$3,334, with breakout potential identified to either side:
Bullish breakout over $3,344–$3,350 targets up to $3,550 or beyond.
Bearish breakdown under $3,326–$3,320 risks slide towards $3,300–$3,255.
Wait for confirmation, apply disciplined risk controls, and let volume validate the move.
GOLD: $4000 on the way! Bulls has the controlGold is on the way hitting a record high since the global tension rising we can see gold creating another record high. Please note that it is a swing trades and may take weeks and months to hit the target or it may not even reach the target itself. This is prediction only so do your own due diligence.
Gold Surges on Non-Farm Data; 3330 Key Next WeekGold was strongly boosted by the significantly bullish non-farm payroll data, surging sharply like a rocket 🚀, with gains that completely "wiped out" all the weekly losses. The current gold trend, as if injected with super momentum, has completely broken the previous long-short stalemate. Starting from the 3300 level, it has been breaking through obstacles all the way up to 3350. At present, 3330 is like a critical "battleground" ⚔️ fiercely contested by both long and short sides.
This week, when gold was still "lingering" below 3300, I emphasized repeatedly that a rebound was inevitable – we just needed to stay calm and wait for the opportunity. As it turns out, our judgment was spot on, and we successfully took profits around 3340, reaping good gains 💴. Now, gold prices are oscillating back and forth in the 3340-3350 range. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the current trend, I boldly predict that gold is likely to pull back to around 3330 next week, so everyone can prepare in advance 🤗

How to seize the key turning points in the gold market?The market is ever-changing, and following the trend is the best strategy. When the trend emerges, jump in; don't buy against it, or you'll suffer. Remember not to act on impulse when trading. The market is a haven for all kinds of resistance, so don't hold onto positions. I'm sure many people have experienced this: the more you hold onto positions, the more panic you become, leading to ever-increasing losses, poor sleep, and missed opportunities. If you share these concerns, why not try following Tian Haoyang's lead and see if it can open your eyes? I'm always here for you if you need help, but how can I help you if you don't even offer a hand?
Gold did not fall below 3280 during the day on Friday and started to fluctuate in the range of 3280-3300. The non-farm payroll data was bullish, and it directly broke through the pressure of 3315, and then broke through the important pressure of 3335 again. As of now, it has reached a high near 3355. The non-farm payroll data market has almost been exhausted. Next, we will focus on the technical form adjustment. At present, you can consider light shorting in the area near 3355-3370. After all, chasing long is risky, and the technical side needs to be adjusted. If your current operation is not ideal, I hope I can help you avoid detours in your investment. Welcome to communicate with me.
Based on the 4-hour chart, short-term resistance is near 3355-3365, with a focus on the key resistance level of 3370-3375. Short-term buy orders should be taken if a rebound continues. I'll provide detailed trading strategies at the bottom of the page, so stay tuned.
Gold operation strategy: Short gold in batches when gold rebounds to 3355-3370, with the target being the area around 3340-3335. Continue to hold if it breaks through.
Gold is significantly bullish, where can we short?The positive non-farm payroll report pushed the market from 3300 directly above 3330, demonstrating overall bullish momentum. Congratulations again, everyone. Real-time strategies are like a beacon guiding your investment journey. The market will never disappoint those who persevere and explore wisely. Charlie advises against blindly chasing highs. Trading advice (first hit is valid): Focus on key support levels: 3300 and 3310. Go long if these levels are reached.
