Gold surged by $120 in a single day!Technically, after breaking through $3054 this week, the key resistance above moved up to the $3100 area. This position is the historical high and the dividing line between long and short positions. If it can stand firm, the gold price may further test the previous high and open up upward space. On the contrary, if the rebound encounters resistance and falls back, the 3050 line will become a short-term support belt, and breaking it may expand the adjustment range.
Gold recommendation: Go long when it falls back to around 3060-3065, stop loss 3053, target 3085

Will gold fall after its strong rise?From a technical perspective, if gold breaks through 3054 this week, the next major resistance level will be in the 3100 USD area. We need to pay special attention to this position on Thursday and Friday, as it is a key dividing line between long and short positions. If this position can be re-established this week, the upper side may test the historical high target again. At present, the downward momentum of gold has basically weakened compared with last week. If you want to operate, you can pay attention to the support near 3053. Before breaking through, any decline is a long opportunity. The upper pressure will first look at the competition near 3100. If it stands above, you can try to chase more aggressively. On the whole, the short-term operation strategy for gold is to short on rebounds and to buy on pullbacks. The upper short-term focus is on the 3095-3100 resistance line, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3035-3040 support line.
Gold operation strategy reference:
Short order strategy: Short gold rebounds near 3095-3098 in batches, stop loss 6 points, target near 3070-3050, break to see 3035 line;
Long order strategy: Long gold pullback near 3035-3038 in batches, stop loss 6 points, target near 3055-3065, break to see 3075 line;

Has the gold tariff peaked?The 4H cycle failed to open upward. According to the general rule, there is a certain probability of a downward kill. The watershed below is still 3100. Only if it falls below this position can it gradually turn to short. At the same time, the current volatility is very large, and any fluctuation starts at ten points. It is recommended to reduce the position to trade; the current long structure of gold has not changed. The key support watershed below is still 3100. Above 3100, the strong bullish idea remains unchanged. Short-term operations rely on 3100 for defense, and enter the market near 3116 to gradually look up. Focus on the strength of the European session. If the European session rebounds and does not break the high, then short the US session at highs, and pay attention to the resistance of the 3148-50 area above.
Today's gold short-term operation ideas suggest that rebounding should be the main focus, and callbacks should be supplemented by longs. The upper short-term focus is on the first-line resistance of 3148-3150, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3100-3110 first-line support.
Short order strategy
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches when it rebounds to around 3148-3150, stop loss 6 points, target around 3135-3125, and look at 3115 if it breaks;
Long order strategy
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3115-3118, stop loss 6 points, target around 3130-3140, and look at 3150 if it breaks;
Gold platform diving has peaked in the short term!Gold is now covered by dark clouds at its daily high level, and a rebound will give shorts an opportunity. The 1-hour moving average of gold has begun to turn downward, and the bulls have suffered a heavy blow. After the rebound is repaired, the only way to go short is to continue. The support below the range of gold 1 hour ago was 3135. Now the US market rebounded and was under pressure for the second time, so the short-term support of gold at 3135 has formed an effective suppression. The US market rebounded at 3135 and continued to go short under pressure.
Today's short-term gold operation ideas suggest that rebounding is the main focus, and callbacks are supplemented by longs. The upper short-term focus is on the 3135-3138 first-line resistance, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3054-3066 first-line support.
Short position strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches when it rebounds to around 3133-3135, stop loss 6 points, target around 3105-3085, and look at 3065 if it breaks;
Long position strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3065-3068, stop loss 6 points, target around 3090-3100, and look at 3110 if it breaks;
Gold fluctuates bearishly to welcome non-farm payrollsGold's 1-hour moving average continues to show signs of turning downward. If a death cross is formed downward in the 1-hour moving average, then the gold shorts will have a greater advantage. The 1-hour downward trend line also suppresses the rebound of gold. The rebound is still short. The trend suppression has now moved down to around 3110. Gold rebounds under pressure and continues to short at 3110. If the European market is strong in the afternoon, then give up the idea of shorting. Continue to wait for the market to stabilize.
Today's gold short-term operation ideas suggest that rebounding is the main focus, and callbacks are supplemented by longs. The top short-term focus is on the 3110-3115 first-line resistance, and the bottom short-term focus is on the 3054-3066 first-line support.
Short position strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches when it rebounds to around 3110-3112, stop loss 6 points, target around 3090-3075, and look at 3065 if it breaks;
Long position strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3065-3068, stop loss 6 points, target around 3090-3100, and look at 3110 if it breaks;
The battle between long and short will be decided in the US markFrom the 4-hour analysis, today's upper short-term resistance is at 3055, and the lower line is at 3000-3008 support. In terms of operation, if the rebound is under pressure at this position, continue to short and look for a decline. You should short once based on the rebound relying on 3055-60, and continue to look to break the bottom for the lower target. Be cautious with long orders at high levels.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Gold rebounds at 3055-3058, stop loss at 3066, target 3015-3020, continue to hold if the position is broken;
2. If gold returns to the 3000-3006 line, you can buy more if it does not break, stop loss 2993, target 3045-53 line, and continue to hold if the position is broken;
Gold's decline is difficult to stop under the impact of tariffsGold is currently in the fourth trading day of decline and adjustment. Although there is a rebound, the 1-hour moving average is still in a downward dead cross short arrangement, and the short volume has not decreased, indicating that the short-term short trend is still continuing. Gold prices are also trying to recover lost ground after falling, but the rebound is weak. The bottom signal has not been confirmed yet. At present, given the obvious short trend, Xu Gucheng recommends rebounding shorts as the main, and callback longs as the auxiliary, and pay close attention to the upper 3025-3030 resistance and the lower 2956-2950 support.
Operation strategy 1: It is recommended to go short at 3025-3030 on the rebound, stop loss at 3040, and the target is 3000-2970. If it breaks, it will be 2050.
Operation strategy 2: It is recommended to go long at 3000-2994 on the pullback, stop loss at 2988, and the target is 3020-3030.
Have the gold bulls made a comeback?From the 4-hour analysis, the upper resistance is around 3055-60 in the short term. If the pullback does not break this position, the decline will remain unchanged. The lower target continues to break the bottom. The short-term long and short strength watershed is 3077-3085. Before the daily level breaks through and stands on this position, any pullback is a short-selling opportunity. The main tone of participating in the trend remains unchanged.
Gold operation strategy:
Gold rebounds at 3056-3060, short line, rebounds at 3077-85, covers short position, stop loss at 3089, target 2985-2990 line, continue to hold if position is broken;
Gold roller coaster market is in a state of chaos!There are also signs of bottoming out at the 4-hour level. Bollinger has also closed temporarily, forming a head and shoulders bottom pattern at 2955 and 2970. Today, we will focus on the gains and losses of the double top at 3055, and then see whether it can form a unilateral surge. If the European session cannot break through 3055, you can go short in the 3050-3052 area below 3055. For gold today, it is still viewed as a shock. The rebound stabilizes above 3000, and the European session may continue. The support below is at the 3000 mark, and the pressure above is 3052-3055, with strong pressure at the 3055 line. If the European market still fluctuates sideways and has no performance like yesterday, then beware of repeating yesterday's trend and turning downward.
Today's short-term gold operation ideas suggest that callbacks should be the main focus, and rebound shorts should be supplemented. The upper short-term focus is on the 3035-3045 first-line resistance, and the lower short-term focus is on the 2975-2970 first-line support.
Short position strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the position in batches when gold rebounds to around 3050-3052, stop loss 6 points, target around 3030-3010, and look at the 3000 line if it breaks;
Long position strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the position in batches when gold falls back to around 2998-3000, stop loss 6 points, target around 3025-3040, and look at the 3050 line if it breaks;
Buy the Dips Towards 3080 – Gold Builds a Strong Base 🟡 What happened with Gold (XAUUSD) yesterday?
In yesterday's analysis, I mentioned that I was bullish on Gold, expecting a resumption of the upward move with targets extended to 3080 and interim resistance at 3050.
Although the price rose, it found strong resistance at the 3020 zone, which prompted me to close my buy trade with around 400 pips profit (although I was aiming for closer to 1k pips).
Afterward, the market started to drop and breached under 3000 again.
However, once the price reached the 2970 zone, bulls entered the market strongly and pushed the price back above 3000.
❓So now what? Is the correction over or will it continue?
Looking at the chart, we can clearly see two things:
✅ A solid support has formed around 2960-2970 zone
✅ A double bottom is in the making, with a well-defined neckline at 3020
________________________________________
📌 Why the bullish bias remains valid:
• 2960-2970 proved to be a strong demand zone
• Price reclaimed the 3000 level after the dip
• Double bottom structure is forming = possible breakout ahead
• 3020 is the key level to break for continuation
________________________________________
🎯 Trading Plan:
The preferred strategy remains:
➡️ Buy the dips
🎯 Main target: 3080
❌ Invalidation: daily close below 2960

Gold 3055 is very important!gold chose to break upward and is currently trading around 3043. For the next market, Monday's high of 3055 is very important. If gold stands above 3055 again, then the hourly chart will be a double bottom pattern, and the next rebound target will continue to advance towards 3115. On the contrary, if it cannot stand above 3055, then the market is still expected to fall back!!!
The impact of tariffs on goldThe 4-hour chart has a strong structure. In the future, we will focus on the attack and defense of the 61.8% node 3086. Below this, we will maintain a short-term mindset. If it breaks through, we will look back to the highs. The short-term support in the evening is 3052, and the strong support is 3044-3040; the short-term resistance is MA10-3070 on the daily chart, and the strong resistance is 3078-3082. In terms of operation strategy, it is recommended to follow the trend to 3086 and then adjust the direction.
Operation strategy:
1. It is recommended to buy gold near 3052, stop loss at 3042, and target at 3080;
2. It is recommended to sell gold around 3086, stop loss at 3096, and target at 3056;
Gold roller coaster market washoutThe 4-hour Bollinger Bands also closed, forming a head and shoulders bottom pattern at 2955 and 2970. Today, we will focus on the gains and losses of the double top at 3055, and then see whether it can form a unilateral surge. If the European session cannot break through 3055, you can go short in the 3050-3052 area below 3055. For gold today, it is still viewed as a shock. The support below is at the 3000 mark, and the pressure above is at 3052-3055, with strong pressure at the 3055 line. If it is still sideways and oscillating like yesterday, then be careful not to repeat yesterday's trend and turn down at night. On the whole, it is recommended to do more on pullbacks and short on rebounds in the short-term operation of gold. The upper short-term focus is on the 3035-3045 line of resistance, and the lower short-term focus is on the 2975-2970 line of support.
Gold operation strategy reference:
Short order strategy: Short gold rebounds near 3050-3052 in batches. Stop loss 6 points, target near 3030-3010, break to see 3000 line;
Long order strategy: Long gold pullback near 2998-3000 in batches, stop loss 6 points, target near 3025-3040, break to see 3050 line;
Tariffs increase market risks!From a technical point of view, although there is no new low, there is no bottoming performance, but the Bollinger band is closing more and more obviously. The technical conditions for this wave of bottoming are about to be met. There is a lack of market stimulation to drive the transformation of strength and weakness. The daily line closed with a big positive today. After standing firm at 3055, it can continue to look at 3100 and 3150. At present, the four-hour line of gold is an obvious bottom signal, or it can be a double bottom. The big positive line at the bottom directly soars into the sky, unstoppable, and directly breaks through the suppression of the moving average. More, 3003 directly more
Investment strategy: Gold 3003 more, stop loss 2903, target 3035
Gold TrendSince the decline from 3167, gold has gone through a wave of ABC decline from a technical point of view. It is now in the C wave of decline. From the technical indicators, the end of this wave is between 2920 and 2940. However, there is a need for adjustment in the C wave. Yesterday, the gold price rose and fell. After three days of decline, the gold price has fallen by hundreds of points. At the beginning of this week, we still need to pay attention to the strength of the rebound. Now the gold price has stopped falling after rebounding at 3022 and lost the 3000 integer mark. The main idea today is still a high-altitude bearish.
Gold Short Setup: Targeting 3030 & 3015 from 2st Resistance ZoneGold (XAUUSD) is currently trading around 3049 after bouncing strongly from the highlighted support zone near 2950. Price is now testing the 2st resistance area, and a rejection here could lead to a bearish move toward the target zone just below.
🔻 XAUUSD Bearish Trade Plan
Entry Zone: 3045–3050
1st Target: 3030
2nd Target: 3015
Stop-Loss: Above 3060 (just above recent highs and the edge of the 2nd resistance zone)
🛡️ Why 3060 as Stop-Loss?
It's above both the 1st and 2nd resistance zones.
If price breaks above 3060 with momentum, it could signal buyers are in control and invalidate the short setup.
This gives you about 30–35 pips of risk for a potential 30–35 pips gain to the 1st target, and up to 60–65 pips to the 2nd — offering a solid risk-to-reward ratio.

Gold's Resilience Amid Market Uncertainty.Greetings..
Since November 2024, gold prices have been consolidating within a rising wedge pattern. Amidst market uncertainties, prices declined but found robust support around the $2,960 level, underscoring gold's role as a safe-haven asset. Following this support, prices have begun to align with underlying fundamentals. With the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release scheduled for tomorrow, there is anticipation that gold prices may retest the $3,165 resistance level.
Recent analyses indicate that gold has surged to record levels, surpassing $3,000 per ounce and reaching $3,167.57, driven by mounting geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Additionally, HSBC has revised its gold price forecasts upward, now projecting average prices of $3,015 per ounce in 2025, citing increased geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties. These factors contribute to the expectation of gold approaching the $3,165 level once more.
Following President Trump's inauguration, gold prices experienced a notable surge, underscoring its status as a safe-haven asset amid market uncertainties. The implementation of substantial tariffs and escalating geopolitical tensions have introduced significant uncertainty, adversely affecting various markets, including cryptocurrencies, equities, and currencies. Despite this widespread market volatility, gold has maintained its appeal as a refuge for investors during periods of uncertainty and fear. Given the current climate, there is an anticipation that gold may reach new all-time highs.

Gold: Economic Risks May Drive Prices UpGold Surges Amid Global Uncertainty, Testing Key Resistance
Gold has continued its impressive rebound, climbing steadily from its recent trough at $2,957 to reclaim territory above the psychological $3,000 mark. This upward momentum is being driven by a confluence of macroeconomic factors, including a softening US dollar and a pause in the previously relentless climb of US Treasury yields. With markets recalibrating their expectations around interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, investor appetite for safe-haven assets like gold has gained renewed strength.
At the heart of the current rally lies mounting geopolitical tension, particularly the intensifying trade standoff between the United States and China. Washington's proposal to impose 50% tariffs on a broad array of Chinese goods has rattled global markets. In response, Beijing is signaling potential retaliatory measures, further stoking fears of a prolonged economic conflict between the world's two largest economies. These developments are injecting volatility into risk assets and increasing demand for traditional hedges such as gold.
From a technical standpoint, the precious metal is currently grappling with a significant resistance level near $3,013. If the price manages to consolidate above this threshold following the current retracement, it could pave the way for a continued upward drive toward the next resistance zones at $3,033 and $3,057. These levels represent key pivot points that could dictate the short- to medium-term trajectory of gold.
On the downside, immediate support lies at $2,996, with stronger backing at $2,981. These levels may provide a cushion for any near-term pullbacks, especially as traders look for opportunities to re-enter the market during dips.
The broader narrative remains highly fluid, shaped by the ever-changing dynamics of global trade policy and monetary strategy. As the tug-of-war between Washington and Beijing intensifies, markets are left navigating a highly politicized and uncertain environment. With neither side showing signs of capitulation—China maintaining its firm stance, and the US administration likely to resist backing down—the potential for further escalation remains high.
In this context, gold’s appeal as a strategic asset grows stronger. The current setup suggests that the metal may gain additional bullish traction if it finds support around the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level or holds above $3,013. Investors are keenly watching these technical and fundamental cues, weighing the growing economic risks that could propel gold into a sustained rally.
GOLD's under Geopolitical Tension (US-CHINA TRADE WAR, TARIFFS)Hey fellas,
Long time no see...
Technical side stays bullish.
Price has failed to break 2960 zone aimed Tariffs.
It has pushed more than 500 pips during Asian session
and clearly broke above 2920 zone.
As soon as price stays under 2920 till NY session, we
might see another push back.
However, if prices continues to breakup and hold 2920 as
support then we'll surely have new ATH soon enough.
DON'T FORGET UPCOMING'S CPI TOO.
Gold started current week within a range of 2965 to 3020. However,
geopolitical tension between US-CHINA trade war and TARIFFS ofcourse
caused huge uncertainty in the market.
GOLD has always been in favour of geopolitical situations.
Market is clearly reacting based on fundamental.

XAUUSD Today's strategyYesterday, the market trend on the trading chart continued to decline. However, it did not set a new low compared to the previous low point. Instead, the lows gradually showed an upward trend. Today, the crucial price level of 3,025 US dollars requires our close attention. Once it is successfully broken through, the market will continue to make an upward assault on the range between 3,045 and 3,055 US dollars. Overall, the current market is mainly characterized by a washout and sideways movement, and it is still too early for the price to reach its peak. Given the continuous impact of the trade conflicts, this will serve as a powerful factor driving the price of gold to new heights rather than causing the price of gold to collapse.
In particular, we must keep a close eye on the breakthrough of the 3,025 US dollars level. After this price level is broken through, we should focus on the pullback and confirmation movement. If the pullback does not break below this level, we can set the area below 2,980 US dollars as the stop-loss line. Under this premise, we can consider entering the market to go long, with the target set at the range between 3,040 and 3,045 US dollars, so as to capture the profit opportunities brought about by the rebound.
