GOLD (XAUUSD): Market Outlook & Short Update
Regarding Gold.
I received multiple requests to provide the update after
the price bounced to a target level, as I predicted earlier on Sunday.
At the moment, we see a perfect example of a consolidation.
The price is trading within a horizontal parallel channel - range.
As always, the market will most likely continue staying within that till the release
of important high impact news.
The closest ones we can find in the economic calendar.
Tomorrow we are expecting US GDP and Personal Spending Data.
For now, probabilities will be high that a consolidation will continue.
Consider looking for trading opportunities from the boundaries of the range.
After a news release, a breakout of the range will provide a strong confirmation
and accurately indicate the future direction of the market.

Next Move?? Read CaptionHello my mates, I hope you are doing well and you have good days.
As you can see gold has touched almost 3500 last time and fallen, Gold was flying due to tariff. now the current price is 3337 and I expect that if gold breaks the 3368 gold can make another ATH and if gold breaks 3314 next move will be 3248.
What do you think about it??
Kindly share your ideas in comment section.
Gold rangingTechnical analysis: Gold naturally found Buyers as Buying pressure is evident on the charts from DX on Selling sequence and #3,262.80 Support preserved. It is important to note that #3,352.80 benchmark represents next Resistance zone, which was near Weekly (#1W) High’s as Price-action could find strong rejection there (as it did throughout Asian session) and deny the Buying response in extension. If broken, Price-action will be calling for #3,362.80 - #3,372.80 Resistance extension which may represent the local Top's for now and for current fractal. I will engage my orders accordingly and wait for suitable entry even though I have closed my Selling order on #3,288.80 ahead of the final push above the Resistance. However, Gold re-tested and was again rejected on the Hourly 4 chart’s Support keeping the Bullish bias alive. The Engulfing candle Bearish reversal candle on Hourly 1 chart succeeded at rejecting the Price-action and catching already the #32% Fibonacci level. I expect the last Daily chart’s candle to test again the #3,252.80 former Resistance now turned to Support when DX finds the Support zone and engages relief rally.
My position: I am currently Trading with caution as Fundamental side can deliver aggressive side Swing anytime, however I am taking excellent Scalp orders since Price-action is delivering optimal configuration to do so.
Gold double bottom 3262 formed, next week's ladder is bullish
Gold closed with an adjustment K-line on the weekly chart, and the downward rhythm slowed down at the end of Friday. Currently, gold stabilized at 3265, and formed an effective double bottom pattern with the decline and rebound on Wednesday. Can the market achieve an effective breakthrough based on the double bottom structure?
Trading at the beginning of the week continued the idea of oscillating bulls. Gold usually showed a strong upward trend during the Asian session, and the bullish momentum was mostly released before 10 o'clock. This week, gold continued to show a strong sideways or upward pattern before 10 o'clock. If there is no breakthrough during this period, it will turn into an oscillating downward rhythm before the European session. This rule is highly consistent with the recent gold decline cycle. The US market showed a regular trend of "opening weak, stabilizing and rising after 22 o'clock", and this fluctuation feature was verified from Wednesday to Friday.
Next week, focus on initial jobless claims, CPI and non-agricultural employment data. It is recommended to manage positions before the release of major data. The trading logic of the European and American markets continued at the beginning of the week. The reference support in the early trading session was 3300, and 3270/60 was used as the bottom of the range to arrange long orders. If it rises directly at the beginning of the week, the pressure level will focus on the 3380 line. The current long-term bullish pattern has not changed. The double bottom pattern formed on Friday provides support for the step-by-step rise. After an effective breakthrough, it can be expected to rise to the 3550 area.
Gold Trade plan 29/04/2025Dear Traders,
Gold is still ranging within a triangle pattern. I believe that, considering the dollar index is at a bottom and there’s a potential for a 300-pip rise, gold may come under selling pressure. That said, as long as the price remains inside the triangle, it’s better to stay on the sidelines and wait to see which side the triangle breaks. If there’s an upward breakout, I consider the 3380–3400 area a suitable zone for selling.

XAUUSD correcting to its 4H MA200.Gold (XAUUSD) has been trading within a Bullish Megaphone pattern since the start of the year. Last week's rejection on its top (Higher Highs trend-line) has resulted into a break below the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line).
This has technically been the signal that started the previous 2 Bearish Legs, which both bottomed upon touching the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) and once the 4H RSI got oversold below 30.00.
As a result, we expect more downside, targeting 3160.

Chips Off the Table or Buy the Dip ?Hello Traders 🐺
I hope you're doing well — especially if you followed my last idea, because you probably took some chips off the table and got prepared for a healthy correction.
As I mentioned before, if BTC (aka digital gold) starts to bounce, there's a strong chance we’ll see a correction in GOLD — because these two assets are starting to decouple. At the time of writing this idea, BTC is up nearly 10% compared to two days ago, while GOLD has dropped around 6% and printed a very bearish candlestick pattern. Let me show you:
BTC vs GOLD:
As you can see on the chart above, BTC has broken out of a bullish flag, while GOLD is printing a potential local top — at least in the short term.
📉 My personal price targets for GOLD:
First Target: Around the support trendline at 3088$. If you want to be more conservative — since we’re still in an uptrend — it’s smarter to take profits and buy back around the 0.5 Fibonacci level.
Second Target (Worst-case scenario): Around the blue monthly support trendline — near the 0.786 Fibonacci level — somewhere around 2850$. Why? Because the RSI shows a triple top and a strong bearish divergence. If this pattern plays out, we could see more short-term pain in GOLD.
I hope you enjoyed this idea — and as always, remember:
🐺 Discipline is rarely enjoyable, but almost always profitable. 🐺

Gold extends slump as risk assets rallyGold has extended its slump, now off by more than $230 (-6.5%) from yesterday's record high of $3.5K. Unwinding of "Sell America" trades continue as risk assets rally on Trump's trade optimism.
Key levels to watch
With short-term support broken at $3,342, this level has already turned into resistance.
The next support was at $3,284. This level has just been taken out. Therefore, we could this level turn into resistance in the next few hours.
Untested old resistance at $3,245 is now the next downside objective. Below that $3,200 and then $3,167 (old resistance).
How to trade gold?
Trade gold from level to level, as it unwinds from significantly overbought levels. Could be a while before it starts trending higher again. Equally, given the long-term bullish trend, the bears should be looking to book profit some profit at every potentially key support.

Can gold continue its decline and hit a new low?Gold price is currently trading below 3330. The downward trend in the Asian session fell below 3313, and our short position also successfully harvested a wave of big profits. Gold price showed signs of rebound at the beginning of the European session. Now the upper suppression level can be moved down. The short-term suppression refers to 3330, followed by the second highest point on the way up to 3357; the lower support focuses on 3285, and after effectively breaking it, we can focus on 3245. Now the gold price is trading near the low point of 3318. The prudent operation idea is to short at 3320 for protection at 3331 to see the gold price go to 3285. After the break, wait for the rebound of 3300 and go short again to see the position of 3245. It is not recommended to participate in long positions.
On the whole, today's short-term operation of gold recommends shorting mainly on rebounds, supplemented by longs on callbacks. The top short-term focus is on the first-line resistance of 3320-3330, and the bottom short-term focus is on the first-line support of 3285-3245.
Short order strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches when it rebounds to around 3320-3325, stop loss 6 points, target around 3290-3260, and look at 3245 if it breaks;
Long order strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3245-3250, stop loss 6 points, target around 3280-3290, and look at 3300 if it breaks;
Gold plummets and peaks in stages, price trend in the futureGold prices retreated from a record high of $3,500, attracting some selling for two consecutive days. U.S. President Donald Trump softened his rhetoric toward the chairman of the Federal Reserve and sent signals that trade tensions may be easing, weakening market demand for safe-haven assets.
The fluctuations will depend on technical points. When the market returns to the technical level, the next operation will be much more stable. At least there are high points above for reference. It is just a matter of timing. However, the crazy time is over, but the bull market is not over.
At present, the price has peaked at 3500 USD. The short-term market will enter a consolidation phase. The callback will focus on the 382 split support of 3292 and the 50 split support of 3228 in the 2956-3500 segment. The limit is that it will not fall too far from 3167. These positions are also waiting for the opportunity to rise again. Each squat adjustment is to further continue the bullish trend. The next stage of pull-up height should pay attention to 3746;
In the intraday, gold opened lower in the early trading, rebounded to the gap of 3385 US dollars and continued to break the bottom. In the short term, 3385 will form a new pressure point. For today's market, the high and high are the main rhythm. The morning low of 3315 is the watershed. If it falls below it during the day, the US market will inevitably retreat for the second time. The double bottom support is 3283, which is the point for long today.

XAUUSD Weekly-Daily-H4 Outlook – April 28, 2025"Gold’s Game: Range Trap... or Breakout Incoming?" 👀⚡
🔥 Macro + Micro Context:
Macroflow: No major macro catalysts today — market sentiment driven mostly by technicals, liquidity behavior, and late-week reactions.
Bias:
HTF (D1–W1): Still bullish-biased long-term, unless 3220–3235 breaks cleanly.
LTF (H4–M30): Currently trapped in a wide distribution range 3380–3260, showing signs of both liquidity sweeps and engineered traps.
Liquidity Dynamics:
Both upside and downside liquidity have been targeted multiple times. Equal highs/lows patterns forming, suggesting fakeouts are highly probable before any real move.
📈 STRUCTURAL RANGE:
🔵 Main Range:
• Top: 3380–3395 → major flip zone (premium side)
• Bottom: 3260–3280 → major demand zone (discount side)
📚 Inside the range:
• Liquidity is being farmed on both sides — expect fake spikes, stop hunts, and whipsaw moves before breakout.
🔑 H4 Key Zones (Above Current Price):
Level Type Notes
3380–3395 Major Supply + Flip Zone HTF orderblock + FVG + previous sell trap
3410–3415 Minor Supply Zone M30–H1 imbalance + small FVG
3448–3455 Major Premium Supply HTF OB + FIBO 1.618 extension + historical premium trap
3490–3500 ATH Area Strong psychological level + institutional interest
🔑 H4 Key Zones (Below Current Price):

3260–3280 Major Discount Demand Strong H1-H4 unmitigated OB + liquidity grab zone
3220–3235 HTF Reversal Demand Last HTF pivot for bullish bias
📊 Expected Scenarios:
Bullish Path:
Hold 3260–3280 → Break 3380–3395 → Target 3415 → Then 3450–3500 range sweep.
Bearish Path:
Fail at 3380–3395 → Sharp rejections back into 3280 → Potential crash toward 3235 and 3210.
👀 EYES ON:
Watch the 3380–3395 flip zone closely.
If price fails there with heavy wicks and low volume, bulls are trapped again.
If price holds above 3395–3415 cleanly, bulls regain control for 3450+.

"The best traders don’t predict. They prepare."
"Trap or breakout — it’s all about reaction, not prediction. Stay sharp, stay liquid, and don’t chase the donkey moves."

4/24 Gold Trading StrategyYesterday's intraday recommendation to buy near 3260 has paid off, with gold trending upward after the market opened today and generating solid profits.
The current pullback appears to be a healthy support retest. However, caution is needed—if the price breaks below 3306, momentum could drag it under 3300 again.
Should that happen, a renewed long position at lower levels is still worth considering. The rebound so far lacks both strength and duration, suggesting a potential shakeout. While it could also be a bull trap, entering at lower levels limits downside risk—with the worst case being reduced profits, not significant losses.
Today's Trading Strategy:
Sell Zone: 3410–3440
Buy Zone: 3267–3230
Flexible Trading Zones: 3383–3340 / 3288–3336
GOLD recovers, market sentiment correction may stopAfter US President Trump hinted that tariffs on China could be reduced and that he had no intention of removing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, the market's risk-off sentiment cooled and international gold prices fell on Wednesday (April 23) before recovering slightly in early trading today, Thursday (April 24).
Last night, Trump made some important comments, not only clearly showing a softer stance on China but also making it clear that he had no intention of removing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell (in fact, he has no authority to do so).
The current bullish cycle in OANDA:XAUUSD is largely driven by the market pricing in the risk of “stagflation”, but as this risk is gradually eliminated, gold could see a significant correction.
Looking at the big picture, gold remains in an uptrend as real yields are likely to continue to fall amid the Fed’s easing policy. But in the short term, if positive tariff news continues to emerge, gold could fall further and the market will adjust to the new environment.
Earlier, after days of harsh criticism of the Federal Reserve for not cutting interest rates, Trump withdrew his threat to fire Chairman Powell. At the same time, he also expressed confidence in reaching a deal with China to significantly reduce import tariffs from China, but also warned that "if they don't make a deal, we'll make a deal."
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday cut its forecast for global and US economic growth this year, citing Trump's tariff policies as the main reason for the downgrade.
As a traditional safe-haven asset, gold has set new historical highs several times since the beginning of 2025, with a cumulative increase of more than 26%.
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
After 2 days of significant correction, gold recovered in today's Asian trading session (24/4) with the recovery level taking the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement point as the nearest support. As noted to readers throughout the publications, gold is still in an uptrend with the price channel as the main trend and the main support from the EMA21, as long as the price decline does not break below the above supports, it should only be considered a short-term correction or a buying opportunity.
As of now, gold is trading around $3,333/oz, up 1.38% on the day and around $45 and the upside momentum is expected to test the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level followed by $3,430.
For the day, the main technical outlook for gold is bullish recovery, and the notable positions are listed as follows.
Support: $3,300 – $3,292 – $3,245
Resistance: $3,371 – $3,430

GOLD falls more than 40 Dollars, widening correction rangeSpot OANDA:XAUUSD unexpectedly accelerated its decline during the Asian trading session on Monday (April 28). The current price of gold is around 3,280 USD/ounce, down more than 40 USD on the day. The price of gold has gradually decreased compared to the intraday high of 3,336.98 USD/ounce reached at the beginning of the trading session.
The easing of trade tensions between China and the United States has weakened gold’s appeal as a safe haven. Gold prices have fallen more than 5% since breaking above $3,500 an ounce last Wednesday.
The latest developments around US-China trade relations and the release of key US macroeconomic data will trigger gold’s near-term price action. Market participants will be closely watching US economic growth and employment data this week.
The latest data from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showed that hedge fund managers cut their net long positions in gold futures and options to a 14-month low.
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold has dropped below the raw price of $3,300 and at its current position it could continue to decline further with a short-term target of around $3,245 where the price confluences with the upper edge of the price channel.
Although gold has fallen significantly from $3,500, looking at the overall chart, gold still has bullish conditions with support from EMA21 and the rising price channel as the long-term trend. On the other hand, the down trending RSI is also approaching the 50 level, in this case the 50 level is the closest support at present, indicating that there may not be much room for decline in the short term.
Once gold is back in action above the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement level, it will be in position to rebound with a target of around $3,371 in the short term.
During the day, the bearish correction could continue but will be limited by the EMA21 and the price channel. Along with that, the bearish correction along with the main uptrend will be noticed by the following technical positions.
Support: $3,245 – $3,228 – $3,200
Resistance: $3,292 – $3,371
