XAU/USD 10 February 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Analysis/bias remains the same as yesterday's analysis dated 09 February 2025 as H4 candle is still open, however, it is highly likely price will print a bullish iBOS and will be classified as such due to time spent and price almost trading down to discount of 50% internal EQ. As mentioned in analysis dated 04 February 2025 that price could continue bullish to bring CHoCH positioning closer to recent price action. This is how price printed. Price proceeded to print a bearish CHoCH which is in-line with previous intraday expectation. Price is now trading within a confirmed internal range, however, I will be closely monitoring this. You will note price has targeted weak internal high but failed to close above. This is potential liquidity grab to fuel the bearish pullback phase to facilitate HTF bearish pullback phase initiation. Intraday Expectation: Price to continue bearish and react at either discount of internal 50%, or H4 demand zone, before targeting weak internal high, priced at 2,882.310. Alternative scenario: Given HTF (Daily and Weekly) have also printed iBOS' it would not come as a surprise if price printed a bearish iBOS. 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. Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty. H4 Chart: M15 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Since last analysis price has printed a double iBOS Intraday Expectation: Price to print bearish CHoCH to indicate bearish pullback phase initiation. CHoCH positioning is denoted with a blue dotted line. Until then, it is advisable to sit on our hands. 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 4H CHART ROUTE MAP ANALYSISHello Traders, Here’s our updated 4H GOLD analysis. To fully grasp this setup, we highly recommend reviewing our previous 4H chart and carefully reading its caption for a complete context. Key Breakdown: Previously, we marked KEY LEVEL 2733 as a crucial support zone. Our strategy was straightforward: If EMA5 crossed and locked below 2733, we would shift our focus to bearish targets. If EMA5 crossed and locked above 2733, we would pivot towards bullish targets. That’s exactly what happened! If you look at the purple circle at the center of the chart, you’ll notice how EMA5 successfully reversed from our 2733 support, triggering a strong bullish momentum. Recent Performance & Target Updates: ✅ First Bullish Phase: Buying at the dip allowed us to hit TP1 (2758) and TP2 (2765) twice. A new Entry Level at 2762 was established. That entry successfully achieved TP1 (2788) 🚀 Next in Line: TP2 (2815) and TP3 (2841) is on its way—stay patient and watch price action unfold! Why This Matters: This is the power of structured trading. Every move is carefully mapped out, ensuring we trade with precision and patience. However, it’s crucial to read the captions thoroughly to fully understand the setups—missing key details could lead to misinterpretation of the chart. What’s Next? 📌 We’ll be back on Sunday afternoon with the next GOLD ROUTE MAP for the upcoming week! 🔥 Support us by commenting, liking, and boosting our chart.

Gold’s Next Big Move: Rally to $3K or a Sharp Pullback?The big question on everyone’s mind is whether FOREXCOM:XAUUSD will reach $3,000 in 2025. In my opinion, it probably will. Looking at the weekly chart, gold has been trading in a well-defined ascending channel for exactly a year. Each time the price dips near the trendline support, buyers step in, keeping the uptrend intact. The last time this happened was at the start of the year, and since then, gold has climbed more than 2800 pips from its low to its Friday's ATH. With this in mind, we can reasonably expect Gold to maintain its bullish trajectory— an assumption supported not only by technical analysis but also by fundamental factors. ________________________________________ 📊 Shorter Time Frame: Signs of Exhaustion? Although the long-term trend remains bullish, trends are not linear—they consist of ups and downs. If we refine our analysis to a shorter time frame, the situation looks a bit different. • The 4-hour chart still reflects a strong uptrend that began earlier this year. • However, last week, signs of exhaustion emerged: - Tuesday’s all-time high of $2,880 was followed by a normal pullback to the $2,840 zone (which I highlighted in last week’s analysis). - On Friday, a new ATH near $2,890 was reached, but the market saw a sharp reversal after the initial NFP-driven rally, with further weakness into the closing hours. ________________________________________ 🔍 Key Levels to Watch: • Support Levels: - $2,840–$2,835 (previous support zone) - $2,800 (psychological level) - $2,775–$2,760 (deeper retracement area) • Resistance Levels: - $2,890 (recent ATH) - $2,900 (psychological barrier) - $2,980–$3,000 (major upside target) ________________________________________ 🎯 Potential Trade Setups: ✅ Bullish Scenario: • If Gold holds above $2,840 and rebounds, a breakout above $2,880–$2,890 could drive prices towards $2,900+, with the final target at $3,000. 🚨 Bearish Scenario: • If gold fails to hold $2,840, a deeper pullback to $2,800–$2,775 is likely. • A weekly close below $2,800 could trigger an extended correction toward $2,760. ________________________________________ 📉 My Strategy for Next Week: While the long-term uptrend remains intact, I anticipate a short-term correction. • I will be looking to sell rallies, targeting a pullback toward $2,800 or slightly below. • If Gold tests key support and shows strength, I’ll switch to a buy-the-dip approach for the next leg higher. ⚠️ Note: This is a high-risk strategy, as we are still in a strong bull market. Proper risk management is essential. Regards! Mihai Iacob

here what is the possible scenario for Xauusd"XAUUSD (Gold) is presenting a strong bullish setup driven by multiple factors. Here’s why it’s a prime time to consider buying: Safe-Haven Demand: Geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty are driving investors toward gold as a reliable store of value. Weakening USD: The US Dollar is showing signs of weakness, which typically boosts gold prices as it becomes cheaper for foreign buyers. Inflation Hedge: With rising inflation concerns, gold is attracting attention as a hedge against currency devaluation. Technical Breakout: XAUUSD has broken key resistance levels, confirming a strong upward trend with potential for further gains. Central Bank Buying: Increased gold purchases by central banks worldwide are supporting long-term price appreciation. Don’t miss this opportunity to capitalize on gold’s upward momentum. Always manage risk and set appropriate stop-loss levels. 🚀📈" Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Do your own research before trading.

XAU/USD 10-14 February 2025 Weekly AnalysisWeekly Analysis: Swing Structure -> Bullish. Internal Structure -> Bullish. 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. Since my last weekly analysis price has printed a bullish iBOS. Bias and analysis has been accurate over the last few months. Price is now trading within a fractal high and internal low. Bearish ChOCH positioning is denoted with a blue shorter dotted line and is very well positioned to print bearish CHoCH which is the very first indication, but not confirmation of bearish pullback phase initiation 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. Daily Chart: H4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. As mentioned in analysis dated 04 February 2025 that price could continue bullish to bring CHoCH positioning closer to recent price action. This is how price printed. Price proceeded to print a bearish CHoCH which is in-line with previous intraday expectation. Price is now trading within a confirmed internal range, however, I will be closely monitoring this. You will note price has targeted weak internal high but failed to close above. This is potential liquidity grab to fuel the bearish pullback phase to facilitate HTF bearish pullback phase initiation. Intraday Expectation: Price to continue bearish and react at either discount of internal 50%, or H4 demand zone, before targeting weak internal high, priced at 2,882.310. Alternative scenario: Given HTF (Daily and Weekly) have also printed iBOS' it would not come as a surprise if price printed a bearish iBOS. 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.

XAU.USD Longs from 2.820 back up I expect gold to continue pushing higher due to strong bullish momentum and the consistent bullish market structure. Now that price has taken last week's all-time high (ATH), a correction is likely this week before further upside movement. The previous low was mitigated and showed a small reaction, but I anticipate it may fail, leading to a deeper retracement into the 6-hour demand zone that previously caused a Break of Structure (BOS). If price accumulates well in this area, we can expect a strong bullish rally. Confluences for Gold Buys: - Gold has been consistently bullish, forming strong higher highs and higher lows. - Clean demand zones remain unmitigated below, which may need to be tapped before further upside. - Fundamentals: Rising geopolitical tensions and policy shifts by Trump have increased uncertainty, strengthening gold as a safe-haven asset. - There is still liquidity above that price may target. Note: If price breaks the low and forms a clean supply zone, we could see the start of a short-term bearish trend, as the recent ATH sweep has taken a significant amount of liquidity.

Profit of 130pips, retracement is an opportunity to buy goldDear traders, did you follow my trading strategy and go long on gold in the 2860-2850 zone? As I emphasized in my previous analysis, if gold holds above the 2850-2840 support level during its pullback, it retains the potential to rally toward 2900. Based on this logic, we executed a highly successful trade in the NFP session, going long on gold within the 2860-2850 range as per my outlined strategy. Following the NFP data release, gold briefly dipped to around 2852 during the retracement. I strictly adhered to my trading plan and entered a long position at 2853. As expected, gold extended its rally above 2880, precisely hitting my projected take-profit (TP) target. This outcome reaffirms the accuracy of my trading strategy, and the gold market has indeed moved in line with my expectations. Cheers to our victory, everyone! At this point, there are still no clear signs of a market top, and gold may attempt to test the 2900 level. However, as it approaches or touches 2900, we must remain cautious about the risk of a potential retracement. Bros, have you followed me to do long gold?

Gold Market Update: Bullish Momentum ResumesYesterday, gold experienced a pullback, dropping to an intraday low of around 2835. However, the price quickly rebounded, and overnight, bulls regained control, pushing it back above 2860—a key confluence resistance level. This move suggests that the correction may be over. Looking ahead, the upcoming NFP data could drive further momentum, potentially leading to a new all-time high by the end of the week. From a broader perspective, the bullish outlook remains intact as long as yesterday’s low holds. A more significant correction would only come into play if we see a weekly close below this level.

Gold before NFP: A general outlookYesterday, OANDA:XAUUSD pulled back to an intraday low of 2835, but buyers quickly stepped in, driving the price back above 2860—a key confluence resistance level. This strong rebound suggests that the correction may be over, with bulls regaining control. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: Support: 2835 (recent low), 2800 (psychological level), 2785 (next key demand zone) Resistance: 2880 (recent high), 2900 (round number), 2925 (potential breakout target) 📈 What’s Next? With NFP data on the horizon, volatility is expected. The market's reaction will depend on how the data impacts rate cut expectations. If the report is strong but inflation concerns persist, Gold could rally toward a new all-time high, targeting 2900+. On the other hand, a weak NFP could either lead to a pullback or further upside, depending on how traders interpret the Fed’s potential response. Key support remains at 2835–2800 for buy-the-dip opportunities. ⚡ Trade Setups to Consider: ✅ Bullish Scenario: A confirmed breakout above 2880 could open the door for a rally towards 2900–2925. 🚨 Bearish Scenario: A weekly close below 2835 could indicate a deeper correction, with downside targets near 2800 and 2785. 📊 Final Outlook: As long as gold holds above 2835, the bullish structure remains intact. A break and weekly close below this level would be the first sign of a deeper pullback. For now, dips remain buying opportunities unless price action suggests otherwise.

NFP, continue to buy goldDear traders， Gold is currently trading around the 2865 level. To be honest, there are no clear signs of a market top at this stage, which indicates that gold still has upside potential. From a technical perspective, as long as gold holds above the 2850-2840 support zone (yesterday’s low), it retains the potential to continue its rally toward the 2900 level. However, with the upcoming NFP release, market uncertainty will increase. Even if the data supports further gold appreciation, the sustainability of the move remains uncertain. Additionally, after a prolonged rally, gold may require a corrective pullback for price consolidation. Therefore, it is crucial to lock in profits in a timely manner and avoid excessive greed or unnecessary risk-taking. From a trading perspective, long positions can be considered around the 2860-2850 support zone.Bros, do you have the courage to join me in continuing to be long gold?

Gold Trend Analysis and StrategiesFrom the daily chart, gold prices regained their upward trend after struggling to stand firm at $2,800. Any pullback at the beginning of the week is seen as an opportunity to buy on dips. It has killed shorts all the way up. Combined with fundamental news, it continues to refresh the historical high to around 2,880, further extending the space, but there is a sell-off above 2,880. Combined with the overbought divergence of bulls, it continues to fall. After breaking the 4-hour cycle middle track of 2,845, the gold rising pattern has initially changed! At present, it is necessary to test the pressure conversion support of the previous high point near 2,830. Before breaking, the gold bull sentiment always occupies the market. At present, gold has not yet reached the bottom of the retracement. The 5-day moving average of 2830 cannot hold up. There will be another retracement next week. The closing line is above 2850, so it depends on the impact after the release of non-agricultural data. After the risk aversion of gold eased yesterday, gold bottomed out, but the risk aversion sentiment was not fully released. Gold bottomed out and rebounded to stabilize again. The gold shorts made a false move, and the gold shorts did not continue. The gold longs reversed in a deep V, and the gold deep V basically had no major correction, which means that the gold longs are relatively strong and are likely to accelerate the rise. Although gold fluctuated downward last night, it has now begun to bottom out and rebound. The gold longs reversed in a deep V. Gold fell back or continued to go long. After gold bottomed out, it began to maintain around 2850, and then continued to rise after a rest. So gold continued to go long after stepping back to 2850 in the Asian session. Key points: First support: 2850, second support: 2842, third support: 2831 First resistance: 2873, second resistance: 2882, third resistance: 2900 Operation ideas: BUY: 2847-2850, SL: 2839, TP: 2870-2880; SELL: 2880-2882, SL: 2891, TP: 2860-2850;

XAUUSD:7/2 Today's Market Analysis and StrategyGold technical analysis Daily resistance 2900, support below 2772 Four-hour resistance 2900, support below 2855 Gold operation suggestions: Yesterday (2.6), gold was under pressure at the 2870 mark and was suppressed and fell back to fluctuate downward. The US market accelerated downward to break through the 2850 mark and reached near 2834, stabilized and rebounded, and returned to the 2850 mark and closed in a volatile manner. The daily K-line chart was blocked and fell back. The overall price continued to be suppressed below the 2870 mark yesterday after being under pressure at the 2880 mark the previous day. It ushered in a volatile adjustment. From the 4-hour analysis, pay attention to the support of 2855 below, the support near 2772 at the daily level, and the short-term resistance above pays attention to the 2872 line. In my opinion, today's NFP data will fall first and then rise. Shorting first looks at the 2800 mark and then buys with a light position with a stop loss, and then looks at the 2772 mark to buy and continue to be bullish. Overall, rely on this range to maintain high selling and low buying. BUY:2772near SL:2768 BUY:2800near SL:2795 Technical analysis only provides trading direction!

Gold's Rally and Bitcoin's Dip: Decoding the SignalsIs Gold's Glitter a Warning Sign? Bitcoin-Gold Ratio Plummets as Physical Gold Demand Soars Gold, the timeless safe-haven asset, has been experiencing a resurgence, raising eyebrows and sparking discussions about potential economic headwinds. Its recent outperformance, coupled with a dramatic drop in the Bitcoin-gold ratio and a surge in physical gold deliveries, suggests growing concerns about the global financial landscape. Are these developments harbingers of fiscal worries ahead? Gold's Allure Returns Gold's appeal as a store of value and hedge against uncertainty has been rekindled. While the yellow metal has historically played a crucial role in portfolios seeking diversification and stability, its recent performance has been particularly noteworthy. Gold prices have reached all-time highs, driven by a confluence of factors, including geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, and fears of economic slowdown. One significant factor contributing to gold's rise is the escalating trade tensions between major economic powers. Past trade disputes, such as the tariff exchanges between the US and China, have historically fueled safe-haven demand, benefiting gold. The current geopolitical climate, marked by increasing uncertainty and potential for conflict, further strengthens this narrative. Bitcoin-Gold Ratio Plummets: A Shift in Investor Sentiment? The Bitcoin-gold ratio, a metric that compares the price of Bitcoin to that of gold, has recently plummeted to a 12-week low. This decline suggests a shift in investor sentiment, with many seemingly favoring the traditional safe haven of gold over the more volatile cryptocurrency. While Bitcoin has often been touted as "digital gold," its price volatility and perceived regulatory risks may be driving investors back to the established stability of physical gold. This shift could indicate a broader move away from riskier assets and towards more traditional safe havens. Physical Gold Demand Soars: A Flight to Tangible Assets Adding fuel to the gold fire is the dramatic increase in physical gold deliveries. Reports indicate a surge in gold shipments to the U.S., with traders actively loading the precious metal onto planes bound for American shores. Furthermore, major financial institutions are playing a significant role in this trend. Investment banking giant JPMorgan, for example, is reportedly planning to deliver a staggering $4 billion worth of gold to New York this month. This substantial demand for physical gold underscores a preference for tangible assets, potentially signaling a lack of confidence in the stability of financial markets or fiat currencies. Global Gold Demand Hits Record High: India Sees Uptick The global appetite for gold is not limited to the U.S. According to the World Gold Council, global gold demand has reached record highs in 2024. Even in price-sensitive markets like India, gold demand has seen a 5% uptick. This widespread increase in gold consumption further reinforces the narrative of a flight to safety and a growing unease about the global economic outlook. Is Gold's Outperformance a Sign of Fiscal Worries Ahead? The confluence of factors driving gold's resurgence – geopolitical uncertainty, trade tensions, declining Bitcoin-gold ratio, and soaring physical gold demand – raises the critical question: are these indicators of deeper fiscal worries on the horizon? While it's impossible to predict the future with certainty, the historical precedent suggests a strong correlation between periods of economic uncertainty and increased demand for gold. Gold's role as a hedge against inflation and economic turmoil is well-established. When investors perceive heightened risks in the global economy, they often flock to gold as a safe haven, driving up its price. The current environment certainly exhibits many of the characteristics that have historically triggered such a flight to safety. The Potential Implications If the current gold rush is indeed a sign of growing fiscal concerns, the implications could be significant. Increased demand for gold could put further upward pressure on prices, potentially exacerbating inflationary pressures. Furthermore, a shift away from riskier assets could lead to increased volatility in financial markets and potentially trigger a broader economic downturn. A Word of Caution While the evidence suggests a potential link between gold's outperformance and fiscal worries, it's essential to exercise caution. Market dynamics are complex and influenced by a multitude of factors. Gold's price can be volatile, and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. It's crucial to avoid drawing hasty conclusions based solely on gold's price movements. Conclusion Gold's recent surge, coupled with the decline in the Bitcoin-gold ratio and the surge in physical gold deliveries, presents a compelling narrative. While it's too early to definitively declare a looming fiscal crisis, the confluence of factors driving gold's resurgence warrants close attention. Investors should carefully consider these developments and assess their potential impact on their portfolios. Whether gold's glitter is a mere reflection of market jitters or a harbinger of deeper economic troubles remains to be seen. However, the current trends certainly raise important questions about the health of the global economy and the potential for increased volatility in the near future.

Gold Approaches $2,900 Per OunceGold has been one of the most prominent assets in recent sessions, recording a valuation increase of over 4% in the last five trading sessions. This surge is primarily driven by investors flocking to the safe-haven asset as concerns grow over the economic tensions generated by the White House in recent days. The global economic growth outlook has weakened due to potential tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, with discussions only suggesting a temporary pause that could eventually materialize. As a result, demand for gold in the short term continues to rise, keeping bullish pressure at historically high levels. Stable Trend The current strong buying bias has completely broken the previous sideways range, which was holding between $2,700 and the $2,600 per ounce floor. Currently, the historical high zone above $2,800 remains intact , but recent sharp price fluctuations could trigger short-term corrections. RSI Indicator The RSI line has shown remarkable growth, confirming that buying momentum continues to dominate gold. However, the indicator has now officially crossed into overbought territory at the 70 level , suggesting that selling pressure may momentarily take over the market, as reflected by the current bearish candle on the chart. If overbought conditions persist, downward corrections could become more relevant in the coming sessions. Key Levels $2,776: A nearby support level, aligning with the top of the previous sideways channel. This zone could act as a key level where potential short-term bearish corrections may take place. $2,900: The next tentative resistance level, representing the price gold has attempted to reach in recent trading sessions. Sustained buying pressure above this level could reinforce the bullish bias, leading to a more accelerated uptrend on the chart. By Julian Pineda, CFA - Market Analyst
