June Nonfarm Data: Gold PlungesThe US June nonfarm payrolls data is out: 147,000 jobs were added, exceeding the expected 106,000 and the previous 139,000, with slight upward revisions to the prior two months’ figures. The unemployment rate dipped from 4.2% to 4.1%, beating the forecast of 4.3%. While the US economy slows, the job market remains robust. 🌟
Post-data release, market bets on a July rate cut have evaporated, with the probability of a September cut dropping to around 75%. US stock futures extended gains, Treasury yields rose across the board, the US Dollar Index surged, and gold plunged nearly $40 in a short squeeze—signaling an unexpected major bearish hit to gold. Weng Fuhao advises trading with the trend, focusing on shorting on rebounds. 😲
Gold, jolted by the nonfarm data, slid sharply in the short term before a minor rebound, with bearish signals across all timeframes. The data triggered an immediate breakdown, shifting the short-term trend to downward: on the 3-hour chart, moving averages formed a death cross, MACD showed a death cross with expanding volume, and gold prices fell below the Bollinger Band lower track, confirming a clear bearish momentum. 📉

GOLD | Pressure Below Pivot – Eyes on 3255 and 3238GOLD | Market Outlook
The overall momentum remains bearish as long as the price trades below the pivot line at 3297.
Currently, the price is attempting to stabilize below 3281, suggesting a potential continuation of the downtrend toward 3270 and 3255.
A confirmed 1H close below 3255 would further strengthen the bearish scenario, opening the way toward 3238.
Sell Setup:
Valid if 1H candle closes below 3281→ Targets: 3270 and 3255
Buy Setup:
Valid if 1H candle closes above 3297→ Targets: 3314
Key Levels:
• Pivot: 3281
• Support: 3255 / 3238
• Resistance: 3297 / 3314
Excellent start of E.U. sessionAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: "My position: I am Highly satisfied with my Profit and will take early weekend break, not catching a Falling knife."
I have monitored the Price-action from sidelines throughout Friday's session as explained above however mid E.U. session I have engaged two #100 Lot Buying orders on #3,278.80 few moments ago and closed both of my Scalps on #3,285.80 with excellent Profit.
Quick update: No Swing orders today, only aggressive Scalps similar to Scalp orders I mentioned above from my key re-Buy points. If #3,300.80 is recovered, newly formed Bullish structure will push for #3,313.80 and #3,327.80 test. If #3,300.80 benchmark is preserved, I will still keep Buying (Scalp only however). I will have Gold's major move revealed after today's session.

Excellent opportunities on GoldAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: "My position: I have engaged #4 Scalp orders throughout yesterday's session (all in Profit) and will continue to do so however on the other side (Buying) from my key entry points. Keep in mind that overall trend remains Bullish and Trade accordingly."
As I expected upside extension as per above, I have waited for #3,352.80 - #3,357.80 my local Top's for the sequence and started aggressively Selling Gold from #3,348.80 first, then #3,352.80 #4 aggressive Selling Scalps and #3,357.80 final two Scalps which I held all the way towards #3,345.80 Support for the fractal (cca #130k Profits Intra-day).
My position: Since #3,337.80 was neckline for upside Bull structure, I was aware if it gets invalidated to the downside, it will open doors for #3,327.80 extension (which held twice throughout late U.S. and Asian session). I don't expect much Selling action today however Bulls need another Fundamental push to invalidate wall of Resistances at #3,340's and #3,350's. I will continue Scalping as opportunity arise / no Swing orders.
Gold on relief rallyAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: Quick update: No Swing orders today, only aggressive Scalps similar to Scalp orders I mentioned above from my key re-Buy points. If #3,300.80 is recovered, newly formed Bullish structure will push for #3,313.80 and #3,327.80 test. If #3,300.80 benchmark is preserved, I will still keep Buying (Scalp only however). I will have Gold's major move revealed after today's session."
Technical analysis: I have been aware that another failed attempt to invalidate #3,272.80 - #3,278.80 local Support zone will most likely result into firm rejection and yet another push towards #3,302.80 psychological benchmark and ultimately the #3,327.80 level which represents Short-term Resistance line which is now invalidated to the upside (as discussed above already). Keep in mind that the current Bullish Short-term set-up can offer a great opportunity for those who missed the last rally to enter at almost (# +1.00%) of the Price so many Sellers which were liquidated will now engage multiple Buying orders so Buying pressure will be significantly Higher. Gold is extending the Trade nicely inside the healthy Hourly 4 chart's Ascending Channel and after failed Support zone reversal. Price-action has even more probabilities now to test #3,352.80 psychological benchmark. Gold is Fundamentally Bullish as well due Tariffs announcement.
My position: I have engaged #4 Scalp orders throughout yesterday's session (all in Profit) and will continue to do so however on the other side (Buying) from my key entry points. Keep in mind that overall trend remains Bullish and Trade accordingly.
GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
A fantastic close to the week as our analysis once again played out level to level with precision!
As a follow-up from yesterday's post:
- The swing range completed the move into 3348, as expected.
- However, we had no further EMA5 lock above, confirming rejection back into the swing range.
- This was followed by an EMA5 cross and lock below 3306, opening the secondary swing range.
- That range played out perfectly today, hitting both 3288 and 3271 targets.
We’re now seeing a bounce off those levels giving the 20 to 40 pips, and we will now be observing to see if the full secondary swing is completed.
It's Friday, and it's been a PIPTASTIC week across the board. Well done to everyone following the plan and sticking to the levels.

Revealed: Beware of a strong counterattack from gold bears!Perhaps due to the impact of the NFP market later, gold fluctuated relatively cautiously today, and neither the long nor the short side showed signs of breakthrough, and the overall trend remained volatile. However, as gold rebounded, the market bullish sentiment gradually tended to be optimistic. In the short term, the lower support area was relatively obvious, that is, the second pull-up point 3335-3325 area, followed by 3315-3305 area;
However, as gold rebounded twice and fell after touching 3365, the suppression above was also obvious. In the short term, it faced the suppression of 3375-3385 resistance. If gold cannot effectively break through this area, gold bears may make a stronger counterattack, so I don’t think gold bears have no chance at all.
Therefore, I think there is still a good profit opportunity to try to touch the top and short gold. You can consider trying to short gold in the 3365-3375-3385 area and look at the target: 3340-3330-3320.
Gold Bulls Back in Control as Trump Pressures Fed for Rate CutsHey Realistic Traders!
President Trump is ramping up pressure on the Fed to cut interest rates , saying the U.S. is falling behind countries with looser policies. As several Fed officials begin to shift their stance, expectations for rate cuts are growing. That’s putting pressure on the dollar and giving gold a fresh boost.
We’ll take a closer look at what this means for OANDA:XAUUSD (Gold) through technical analysis and explore its upside potential.
Technical Analysis
On the 4-hour chart, Gold has moved above the EMA-200, signaling a shift in momentum to the upside. Price has also broken out of a Descending Broadening Wedge (DBW) pattern, which often indicates the start of a bullish trend.
The breakout was confirmed by a Bullish Marubozu candle, reflecting strong buying pressure. To add further confirmation, the MACD has formed a bullish crossover, reinforcing the upward momentum.
Looking ahead, the first target is seen at 3417. If reached, a minor pullback toward the historical resistance zone (green area) may occur, with a potential continuation toward the second target at 3500.
This bullish outlook remains valid as long as the price stays above the stop-loss level at 3271 . A break below this level would invalidate the setup and shift the outlook back to neutral.

Gold Holds Above 3342 Ahead of Key U.S Data –Bullish Bias IntactGold Rises as Market Awaits Key U.S. Economic Data
Gold prices are pushing higher as investors position ahead of today’s major U.S. economic releases, including NFP and unemployment figures. Expectations of weaker data are supporting bullish sentiment.
Technical Outlook (XAU/USD):
Gold maintains a bullish structure as long as it trades above 3,342.
→ A push toward 3,365 is likely
→ A 1H close above 3,365 would open the path toward 3,375
However, if price closes below 3,342 on the 1H chart, bearish momentum may build, targeting 3,331 and 3,320
Key Levels:
• Resistance: 3,365 / 3,375 / 3,390
• Support: 3,341 / 3,331 / 3,320
XAUUSD – Gold at a Key AreaGold is now in a crucial zone with short potential.
If the market provides a valid bearish signal, I’ll take the short.
But if this zone breaks and confirms with a pullback, I’ll switch bias and go long.
💡 Remember:
We don’t control the market — we just try to profit using structure, setups, and solid risk management.
📌 Always risk max 1% per trade.
If the market goes against your bias, you only lose 1% — not your whole account.

7.2 Gold price continues to fluctuate! Non-agricultural positionGold is still temporarily maintaining a wide range of fluctuations in the daily trend, and the price is temporarily under pressure around 3360. In the 4-hour level trend, after continuous high-level narrow fluctuations, the technical pattern has begun to weaken. The short-term moving average has gradually flattened from the previous upward divergence. After the continuous small-scale high-rise and fall back, the upward momentum in the short-term trend is insufficient. In the hourly level trend, the current running space is very compressed, but in the small-level cycle trend, after continuous fluctuations, the technical pattern has begun to weaken. The price has begun to slowly move out of the narrow range of fluctuations. Pay attention to the short-term adjustment and repair.
XAU/USD Struggles Below 3352, Bearish Pressure Remains ActiveXAU/USD Below Pivot, Watching 3352 for Bullish Confirmation
Gold prices edged up today as investors shifted their focus to the U.S. fiscal situation and lingering uncertainty ahead of the July 9 deadline when U.S. tariffs are set to take effect. But at the same time, we have strong resistance on the way.
The price continues to move below the pivot level and the 3352 resistance, which together form a strong supply zone.
A confirmed breakout above 3352 on the 4H candle is needed to validate a bullish move toward 3365. However, the possibility of a renewed decline remains unless the price also breaks above 3365, which would confirm a continuation of the upward trend.
The bearish trend remains active as long as the price trades below the pivot at 3348 and the 3352 level. Sustained trading below this zone would likely lead to a decline toward 3320 and 3313.
Key Technical Levels
Resistance: 3352 - 3365 - 3400.
Support Levels: 3320 - 3313 - 3218.
Pivot Line: 3348
XAU/USD M5 – Bearish Fib Retracement & Downtrend Continuation SeXAU/USD M5 – Bearish Fib Retracement & Downtrend Continuation Setup
Gold is currently testing the Fibonacci 0.236–0.382 retracement zone after a clean bearish leg, aligning with the descending channel structure. Price is now forming a possible lower high, hinting at a potential continuation of the intraday downtrend.
🔍 Key Technical Highlights:
Bearish Market Structure: Price remains inside a well-respected descending channel, respecting both lower highs and lower lows.
Fibonacci Confluence: Retracement into the 0.236–0.382 zone (around $3,345 – $3,347) may act as a resistance.
Rejection Expected: Small distribution forming near $3,347 inside the channel resistance.
Downside Targets:
1.0 extension: ~$3,338
1.618 extension: ~$3,330
Extended target: Lower channel boundary
📊 Trade Setup:
Bias: Short (scalp/intraday)
Sell Area: $3,345 – $3,347 (Fibonacci + structure confluence)
Stop Loss: Above $3,350
Target: $3,330
Risk:Reward: ~1:3 (depending on entry)
🧠 Tactical Note:
Watch for a break and retest below $3,343–3,342 demand zone (purple box) to confirm continuation. A breakout from the descending channel would invalidate this scenario.
Gold Trade Plan 02/07/2025ِDear Traders,
On the 1-hour chart of XAUUSD (Gold vs. USD), we observe a breakout of the descending trendline, followed by a successful pullback and continuation to the upside.
The blue demand zone around 3295–3310 acted as a strong support and triggered a bullish move.
As long as the price holds above this support, we expect the uptrend to continue, targeting the resistance areas between 3360–3375 and potentially up to 3390–3400.
The RSI has pulled back from the overbought zone but is still holding above the 50 level, supporting the bullish sentiment.
📌 Conclusion:
If the price holds above the support zone, further upside towards the resistance zones is likely. If the support fails, the bullish scenario may be invalidated for now.
Regards,
Alireza!

Gold's Next Week Trend & Trading TipsGold Trend Analysis for Next Week
Fundamental Analysis
Friday (July 4th) marks the U.S. Independence Day holiday, with gold oscillating narrowly near 3333 in early European trading 📊. The metal fell nearly 1% on Thursday (July 3rd) to close at 3325.87, weighed by unexpectedly strong June nonfarm payrolls 💪. This boosted the dollar and Treasury yields, dimming Fed rate-cut hopes and curbing gold’s appeal.
Additionally, the U.S. Congress passed the Trump administration’s major tax cuts and spending bill, adding economic complexity 🔄. No key data is due today; markets will close early for the holiday, limiting volatility. Profit-taking on yesterday’s short positions may halt declines, leaving today’s trend likely range-bound or slightly rebounding 📈.
Technical Analysis
Gold rebounded from lows this week, with three straight bullish daily candles breaking above the middle Bollinger Band, signaling short-term strength 🐂. However, dual bearish triggers (nonfarm data and jobless claims) sparked a pullback Thursday, likely forming a bearish candle with a long lower shadow—a correction after three gains 🔄.
The daily chart shows high-range consolidation, lacking sustained momentum. Dollar volatility has capped gold’s moves, with repeated tests of highs failing to break through and pullbacks lacking downside conviction. The daily Bollinger Band is contracting, with gold swinging between middle and lower bands; 3360 acts as resistance 🛑.
Last night’s nonfarm data caused a nearly $40 drop, but markets stabilized, and gold has recovered half those losses, with bearish momentum ebbing 🐻. A secondary support base formed at 3322, and after overnight consolidation, gold is showing rally signs with higher lows 🔄
Strategy:

🚀 TP 3335 - 3325 - 3315

Gold fluctuates frequently, how to seize the opportunity?We started high-altitude layout from 3365. We took the lead in seizing this wave of decline opportunities and firmly held the bearish view. We harvested short orders all the way to 3325. The gold short orders were continuously stopped at profit, and the rhythm was very steady. The current market fluctuated repeatedly and the direction was chaotic, but we always insisted on executing the strategy - do it when you see it, and you can reap good rewards if you can hold it. Although there is support and resistance at the 3333 line in the short term, it is not recommended to chase more. The risk is relatively large. The key is to step back more. Wait for the 3325-3315 area to consider laying out long orders. We do not do dead shorts, nor do we blindly do more. We always maintain flexible response and rational judgment on the market.
From the current trend of gold, pay attention to the short-term support of 3325-3320 below, focus on the support position of 3315-3310, and pay attention to the short-term resistance around 3345-3350 above. The overall main tone of high-altitude low-multiple cycle participation remains unchanged. In the mid-line position, keep watching and do less, chase orders cautiously, and wait for the opportunity to enter the market after the key points are in place. For more specific operational details and strategy updates, please pay attention to the notification at the bottom 🌐 and pay attention in time.
Gold operation suggestions:
1. Go long near 3325-3315, target 3335-3345.
2. Go short near 3340-3350, target 3330-3320.
