Could India-Pak ceasefire & China-US talks trigger gold's declinNews
From May 5th to 9th, trade tensions and geopolitical conflicts have driven the gold market to rise 📈. The spot gold price has once broken through 3,438. As the bullish momentum has waned, investors have taken profits at high levels, and the weekly increase has narrowed to about 3.1%. Trump's remarks on tariffs, uncertainties in trade negotiations, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the military standoff between India and Pakistan have stimulated the demand for safe-haven assets, pushing up the gold price 💹. Technical indicators show that the short-term correction pressure has increased, and the market may enter a phase of volatile consolidation 🤔.
Gold Trend
At the beginning of this week, influenced by the safe-haven property of gold, its price has increased. However, this tariff news has less of an impact on the gold price than before, and the upward trend has stopped at 3,439. After the Federal Reserve maintained its interest rate policy unchanged, the gold price has declined for two consecutive days 📉, and yesterday's closing price was above 3,300.
Looking ahead, with the ceasefire of the conflict between India and Pakistan and the advancement of the China-US talks, the gold price is likely to drop significantly next week ⬇️. The ceasefire between India and Pakistan has alleviated the geopolitical tensions, weakening the driving force for gold to rise as a safe-haven asset. If the China-US talks achieve positive results, the market's risk appetite will increase, and investors are likely to shift their funds from gold to risky assets such as stocks. In the past, when there has been progress in trade negotiations, the gold price has dropped significantly. Overall, there is an obvious downward trend for the gold price next week 😟.

Gold will form a double top next week and then fall toward 2600.Gold will form a double top next week and then fall toward 2600.Of course, everything is hypothetical. If the correction trades time for space, it may not fall as much. It could consolidate sideways for a long time. In short, I think the uptrend has paused for now. If a double top forms next week, it’s a good opportunity. Let’s wait and see.
Two Shots at NQ: Because One's Never EnoughAlright, here’s the game plan – because let’s be honest, the market loves nothing more than pretending to break out, then snapping back just to mess with us.
🔥 The Setup:
I’m eyeing the Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures (June 2025), and I’m giving myself two shots at this breakout. Yeah, I know – ambitious. But the market’s been playing hard to get lately, so I’m hedging my enthusiasm.
💡 Why Two Long Entries?
Because, let’s face it, the first entry will probably get stopped out. I like to think of it as a “testing the waters” trade. If it works, great – I’m a genius. If not, well, it was just practice.
First Entry (The Optimist):
I’m jumping in if it breaks out, keeping the stop tight – because nothing says confidence like a cautious stop loss.
Second Entry (The Realist):
If the first entry faceplants, I’ll wait for the market to freak out and then calm down. Then, I’ll slide back in when it looks like it’s actually serious this time.
🧠 Managing the Chaos:
Short-Term Target: The last high – because if it doesn’t clear that, what’s the point?
Long-Term Target: The equal move – assuming the market doesn’t chicken out halfway.
Stop-Loss: Snug and sensible, because I’d rather not watch my account do a disappearing act.
Take profit targets are set where the equal move would complete – assuming the market cooperates for once.
💭 The Thought Process:
I’m not here to pretend I can predict the future – if I could, I’d be on a yacht, not posting on TradingView. But this setup gives me two chances to be right, which is at least one more than usual.
🔥 Your Thoughts?
If you’re also giving your trades a second (or third) chance, drop a comment. Or just let me know how your latest breakout fake-out went – because misery loves company. 😅
NASDAQ Harmonic pattern indicating strong bounce incoming.AI vs. Dot-Com Bubble
When drawing parallels between #AI and the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s, many express concerns that current valuations may be excessively inflated. However, significant differences are apparent.
To begin with, the current price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of the NASDAQ-100 is approximately 30, whereas during the dot-com bubble, it skyrocketed to 200, with many companies lacking any earnings in sight.
Additionally, the market capitalisation to #GDP ratio reached unprecedented levels in the late 1990s, while today's figures, although still high, are supported by robust earnings and solid cash flows from established business models.
Innovations in AI, cloud computing, and digital transformation have fuelled revenue growth, exemplified by #NVIDIA's data centre sales, which surged 409% year-over-year in Q4 2024, and Microsoft's Azure, which experienced a 28% year-over-year increase in 2024. This surge in productivity is being driven by individuals, businesses, and governments alike.
As a result, major tech firms are making substantial investments in AI research and development, with clear strategies for monetisation.
AI is poised to become a transformative force, akin to the transistor, a groundbreaking invention that scales effectively and permeates various sectors of the economy.
Lastly, the Federal Reserve raised interest #rates to 6.5% to tackle inflation after previously lowering them to address Y2K concerns before the bubble burst in 2000.
In contrast, current expectations suggest that interest rates will stabilise or decrease, which would support valuations.
On May 9, the London market XAUUSD real-time trading strategyXAUUSD's huge drop hit 3274. From the side news, there is no huge potential impact. Because almost all important data are updated. From the larger level of K-line cycle, the top structure appears, which is why I remind everyone to continue to sell.
In the trading process, it is very important to switch from long to short. Often some traders always suffer huge losses in their accounts due to misjudgment. This week, under my accurate prediction, the market trend is exactly the same as I expected.
Summary: There is no major news affecting the current situation. And it is the last trading day of this week. For XAUUSD, maintaining high selling is the current trading direction. There are signs of returning to the weekly opening price at the daily level. Observe whether the pressure range of 3330-3340 can stabilize during the day. If not, we can focus on the lower profit range. 3260-3220.

XAU/USD:the extreme market conditions will continue.There was significant progress in the Sino-US negotiations over the weekend, and it was announced that a Sino-US "joint statement" would be released today. The news led to a gap-down opening of gold by $51 in the early trading, and after the gap-down, it is currently fluctuating weakly below $3290.
From a fundamental perspective, geopolitical events such as the India-Pakistan conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Middle East situation have limited boosting effects on the gold price. The market's attention is focused on the Sino-US tariff issue. The significant breakthrough in the Sino-US tariff negotiations is bearish for gold, and the gap-down opening of the gold price in the early trading has fully reflected this news. With the alleviation of the tariff dilemma, the market has shifted to a volatile pattern dominated by bears. However, the tariff negotiations are complex, and the subsequent games will continue. Moreover, the disturbances in the geopolitical situation will still support the gold price from time to time. It is expected that the gold price will maintain a wide range of fluctuations.
Focus on:
resistance levels: 3345-3315-3295
support levels: 3260-3220-3180

XAU/USD – May 12, 2025📊XAU/USD – May 12, 2025
🔹Current Price: 3,277.10
🔹Timeframe: 15M
📌Key Supply Zones:
🔴 3356–3368 – Higher-timeframe supply (strong rejection zone)
🔴 Mid-level untested supply zone near 3,300 (minor reaction observed)
📌Key Demand Zones:
🟢 3257–3269 – Current support zone; holding price for now
🟢 3222.9–3226 – HTF demand base (critical if breakdown continues)
📉Bearish Bias:
Price remains in a clear downtrend with lower highs and lower lows. Currently reacting from the 3257–3269 demand. If this zone fails, expect deeper selloff toward 3222.
📈Bullish Setup (If Confirmed):
Only a strong bounce and BOS from 3269 can open short-term longs toward 3300+. Watch for reaction and engulfing on lower timeframes.
⚠️Execution Tip:
✅ Don’t trade blindly into zones – wait for confirmation
✅ Focus on RR setups only when structure shifts
✅ Use 5M/15M BOS to align with direction

Gold Breaks Support Level – The Downtrend May Not StopAfter peaking at $3,500/ounce in April, gold is in a clear correction phase. On the H4 chart, the price has broken through both the EMA34 and EMA89, indicating that a short-term downtrend has been established. The most recent session closed at $3,223, losing nearly $130 in just a few sessions.
The sharp decline appeared after a long rally and the peak was rejected many times. The break through the EMA89 support has triggered technical selling pressure, reflecting the psychology of profit-taking after failing to surpass the old peak.
High-level strong pressure rebound continues to shortSince the opening gap at 3275, gold rebounded to 3292 and then started to fall. So far, gold has hit 3216 and then fluctuated upward. The bulls are temporarily suppressed. We still focus on rebounding and shorting. After all, the general trend is bearish. The upper 32775-3281 is the main short-term suppression level. If the rebound does not break, you can continue to short. The short position may continue to reach a new low. Pay attention to the support of 3200.
Judging from the current gold trend, the support at 3206-3215 is the focus below, and the short-term resistance at 3275-81 is the focus above. The strong resistance is near 3290-3300. This position is also the watershed between long and short positions. Before the daily level breaks through and stands on this position, the main short rhythm of the pullback will continue to remain unchanged.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Short gold at 3275-83 when it rebounds, short at 3290-95 when it rebounds, stop loss at 3303, target at 3206-3215, continue to hold if it breaks
FCPO WEEK 21 2025: Towards 4000?There are 2 scenarios for this week:
Scenario #1 - if price to close and stay above 3857 then there is possibility that it will continue going higher towards 4000 area. However this might be a limited move higher because the overall trend is still bearish. I think that the price will likely retest the 3700 and consolidate for a bit before going bullish.
Scenario #2 - if price to close and stay below 3745 then it should open a move lower towards 3638 area. It would be the lowest price since Aug 2024. This might be the lowest low that we need for price to establish a bullish trend.
If Scenario #1 happens then it will be interesting to analyse the price action to determine the momentum and see whether price already establish a sign that it is ready to go even higher.
Happy trading!
Nasdaq – Daily Breakout Alert!📈 Nasdaq – Daily Breakout Alert!
Wonderful breakout spotted on the Nasdaq Daily Chart after a prolonged consolidation of nearly 2 months. If the price sustains above 19,945 and breaks past the key resistance at 20,060, we could witness the beginning of a fresh rally in the index.
🔍 All eyes now on the price action in this critical zone. Continuation above these levels could trigger strong bullish momentum — assuming no major global turmoil disrupts the setup.
