Gold's Crossroads – Dip Before the $3K Breakout? ⚖️ Gold's Crossroads – Dip Before the $3K Breakout? 🤔📉
Gold has almost hit the $3,000 mark—but not quite. 🚀 While many are ultra-bullish, let’s take a step back and consider the potential for a pullback before any new highs.
Gold is expensive, and even my jeweler friend admits it’s becoming more of a store of value than a commodity for luxury. That brings us to a key question: Is a drop coming first?
🔄 Two Possible Scenarios:
1️⃣ Pullback First (More Likely) – Gold could drop toward $2,794, or even deeper to $2,575, where the all-time trendline support sits. A cooling-off period makes sense, especially after such an extended rally. 📉
2️⃣ Breakout to New Highs – If buying pressure holds, a clean push above $3K could send gold toward $3,294 - $3,600, and even EUROTLX:4K later in the cycle. 🚀
🔍 The Fort Knox Question 🤯
There’s growing speculation about the $400 billion in gold reserves at Fort Knox. If something unexpected is uncovered, could that fuel a major gold rally? Or will Bitcoin, the digital gold, start to steal some of its shine?
It’s a fascinating time for gold traders. While the long-term outlook remains bullish, a dip before liftoff seems like the logical play. Let’s stay sharp. ⚡📊
P.S. Gold has risen even with the USD remaining expensive and interest rates still high—which is not the norm. Could it be that we see gold detach from its historical correlations and trade in a completely new paradigm? 🤔

Gold Temp Bearish Pressure Price looks like its going to sweep the lows. I mentioned this in my previous update. Being that it is the end of the month and coming up to end week we might not get the bullish play this week but if they move inside of the Weekly FVG then they have my attention.
LETS GOOOO!!! NEW WEEK ON GOLD!!!Looking for the moves an I think we will come out the gate moving bullish all week. Practicing patience and waiting for the killzone before getting active on anything. Expecting some good moves starting tonight.
MASSIVE Bull Run Pending for Gold!!!Been looking for this drop! Waiting for a great entry for a bullish swing. Price looks like it might have made lows right at a H4 Gap but there is a larger one lower that I want to wait and see if they go for. I'm just not interested in a Long until I see price sweep the recent lows first.
Gold Futures - Potential Springtime ReversalGold futures have been on a rally, but recent price action suggests a potential shift. Could we be witnessing a Wyckoff distribution forming?
Understanding Wyckoff Distribution
The Wyckoff distribution pattern occurs when large institutions begin selling off their positions to retail traders before a downtrend begins. This phase is often characterized by sideways price movement, false breakouts, and key "Signs of Weakness" (SOW) that hint at an impending sell-off.
A Recent Sign of Weakness in Gold Futures
A possible sign of weakness in gold futures was observed recently when prices gave a false break out at what retail traders would label "key levels".
Historical Seasonal Trends: Spring Reversals
Looking at historical data, Moore Research Center, Inc. (MRCI.com) has tracked seasonal gold price patterns for over 40 years. Their findings indicate that gold often experiences price reversals during the spring months. This aligns with the idea that we could be heading into a seasonally weak period, increasing the likelihood of a distribution phase playing out.
What Traders Should Watch For
As Gold rallies back towards a new all time high we should be aware that it may be just a false break to form the final phases of a distribution schematic. This would form an upthrust, and upthrust after distribution, followed by a sharp retracement back into the range and ultimately leading to a sell off and market reversal.
Final Thoughts
While nothing is certain, the combination of the financial institutions footprint and historical seasonal data suggests gold traders should proceed with caution. Whether you’re trading futures or investing in physical gold, staying aware of these patterns can help you make informed decisions.

GOLD CORRECTION AND THEN RALLYGold may fall to fill the gap of 2773.00 and test 2735.00 area before rallying back to 3000.00
JOURNAL FOR MGC1!Today I placed two trades on MGC1! my first entry was a sell scalp which was strictly a technical entry and the second was the buy back up because it goes with the bias of gold being bullish, and inflation fears, so for each trade Ive wait on a area of consolidation (order block) then wait on a break out in this case after that impulsive move to the downside on gold I waited for an area of support to form with rejections of pushing lower at this point an order block should start forming, I tend to get a better structure of an order block forming on the 5min, once a bullish engulfing to print above the last high then I take the trade, today I had no draw down my entry was precise!
Bullish Hourly Setting up on Gold ChartsGold is showing strong potential for an upward move. With a solid support level in place and bullish momentum building, this could be an excellent time to position for a breakout. If the price holds above key support, we may see significant gains in the near term.
GOLD AssertationNot 100% confident in this trade Based on whats been happening in the market Missing about two confluence to be More Confident But Will See How This Works Out and Learn From my Mistake Even if i Am Right Originally my confidence in this wasnt there So i will dissect That Reason To better Pin Point High Confluence Trades
Gold's Resilience: A Bounce Back from Key Support Demand ZoneGold has rallied off a key demand area of support as the US Dollar peaked and then retraced. This precious metal is currently navigating challenges stemming from forecasts regarding US interest rates and ongoing economic policies tied to the Trump administration.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell has indicated that the US economy is in "remarkably good" shape, which has bolstered the Dollar while putting downward pressure on Gold. However, analysis of the Commitment of Traders (COT) report reveals that smart money remains positioned on the long side, suggesting that there is still potential for upward movement in Gold.
Despite its recent performance, Gold appears to be in a relatively oversold position, supported by favorable seasonal trends that could lead to a bullish outlook. The current demand area presents a crucial opportunity for Gold to retrace and gain momentum once again, making it an interesting point of observation for traders looking to capitalize on potential price recovery.

GOLD, is it possible time to sell? Hello everyone! There is a high likelihood that gold may decline from its current level. The 2800 mark is a historical high and a critical level. Will the bulls be able to break through it immediately?
From a long-term wave perspective, the price of gold may currently be in corrective wave 4, which is likely not yet complete, as the time targets have not been reached. The RSI on the daily chart is near the overbought zone and is trending downward, while volumes have been declining for four consecutive sessions. Additionally, according to the CFTC report, speculative long positions have reached the peak levels of October 2024, when gold prices dropped, leading to profit-taking.
Taking all this into account, I believe the bulls currently lack sufficient strength to continue the trend, and some cooling is needed.
From a wave analysis standpoint, a triangle formation is possible, followed by gold entering wave ((C)) with a target in the range of 2660-2640.
It is important to exercise caution. For a more confident entry into a position, it would be preferable to see a false breakout of the level, which has not occurred yet. This should be kept in mind.
Equity Markets Lagging the Precious Metals
Equity indices slipped today as they are looking to retest all time high levels for the ES and the NQ. Traders saw economic data released today including a higher than expected initial jobless claims number along with a lower than expected Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing number. As the equity markets slipped, the precious metals complex saw gains today with Gold, Silver, and Copper all in positive territory.
As the week wraps up, traders can look ahead to the existing home sales number along with the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI tomorrow to add some volatility to the market. The CME Fed Watch Tool is currently indicating that rates will again be unchanged for the March meeting, and then a 43.6% chance of a rate cut of 25 basis points at the June meeting. These expectations can change as the year progresses based on different employment and inflation data and will help give a better indication of the strength of the equity and precious metal markets.

Tracking Crisis with Stocks/Gold RatioGold Surges with Three Major Crises
Over the past 25 years, we have witnessed three significant financial crises: the Dot-Com Bubble, the 2008 Financial Crisis, and the recent 9% inflation crisis. In each of these events, a distinct pattern emerged—gold surged before the crisis reached its full intensity.
Historically, gold's price has experienced notable gains before economic downturns:
• Dot-Com Bubble: +34% surge
• 2008 Financial Crisis: +89% surge
• Inflation Crisis (2022): +24% surge
Currently, gold has surged 83% from its trough in November 2022. Given this historical correlation, could we be on the verge of another financial crisis?
Why Are Central Banks Stockpiling Gold?
This current gold rally bears similarities to past surges but also has a crucial distinction. While demand for gold remains strong, this time around, central banks are leading the charge in purchasing gold at an unprecedented rate since 2022.
Gold serves a dual function:
1. Inflation Hedge – A safeguard against inflation.
2. Currency Hedge – Protection against currency devaluation.
Central banks' aggressive gold acquisitions suggest expectations of prolonged inflation and currency instability. As fiat currencies weaken, inflationary pressures mount, reinforcing gold’s attractiveness as a safe haven asset.
Fundamental Indicators Paint a Cautionary Picture
A deeper dive into key economic indicators suggests a challenging outlook. Here are some red flags:
• Treasury Bonds in a Downtrend – Indicating a loss of confidence in long-term debt
securities.
• Interest Rates Remain High – Despite inflation cooling from 9% to 3%, borrowing
costs remain significantly higher than pre-2022 levels. Elevated interest rates place
pressure on businesses and, eventually, stock prices.
• Inflation Remains Stubborn – The lowest recorded inflation since the peak was 2.4%,
but it has now ticked back up to 3%. With ongoing tariff escalations, inflation could
reignite.
These fundamental factors indicate that financial markets remain vulnerable to shocks, reinforcing the case for cautious positioning.
The Technical Outlook: A Bullish Trend Still Holds
Despite fundamental concerns, technical analysis suggests that the current AI-driven market rally, which began after the introduction of ChatGPT, remains intact. A strong uptrend line connecting all major troughs continues to act as a support level.
Timing the Bear with the Crisis
The bond market is already signaling distress. If equity markets break below this well-established uptrend line, my strategy will shift dramatically. Instead of looking for buying opportunities on dips, I will pivot to selling on strengths, anticipating a market downturn.
My Trading Strategy: Still Buying on Dips
I have provided a daily chart with updated trendlines, marking key support and resistance levels. My trading approach will be guided by these levels to manage risk effectively.
Preferred Instruments: Outright futures and call options.
Market Outlook: Cautiously bullish.
While economic conditions warrant vigilance, technical indicators suggest that the bullish trend remains intact—until proven otherwise. Happy trading!

XAUUSD Analysis & Projection This Week (Feb 24 2025-Feb 28 2025)Last week, XAUUSD reached a new All-Time High but got swept, as the weekly candle failed to close at its peak. On the H1 timeframe, the Order Block has been mitigated (refer to the attached chart).
For this week's setup, my bias is towards a retracement into the Order Block (not FVG) before a significant drop (DUMP). I anticipate a clearer price movement around the release of the New Home Sales (January) data.
GOLD week close review as we come to Month endLooking at how price has played out this week. Extremely bullish. We can get a continuation of the bullishness or get a significant pullback. We just have to be patient and wait for price to show us what it wants to do.
GOLD - WEEKLY SUMMARY 17.2-21.2 / FORECAST🏆 GOLD – 15th week of the base cycle (15-20+ weeks). A very mature cycle with a bearish setup on the daily chart. The new high on the February 11 pivot forecast has held for a week. Based on cycle timing, this pivot forecast may mark the top of the current base cycle. However, strong support remains at the October 28 extreme forecast level (2850-2830 on the current futures contract). Additional support comes from the broken double top at the retrograde Mercury level from November 25 (2780 on the current futures contract).
⚠️ Next pivot forecast: February 24. Next extreme forecast: March 3 – the beginning of the retrograde Venus period, which I mentioned in early December. I cautiously assume that March 3 may mark the start of a new base cycle for gold from one of the support levels mentioned above.
Gold is rotational for now! So we be PatientWe need a breakout to the upside or a break down to retrace before we get a significant move. For now we will just monitor the price action to see what they want to do. Cause in the area its in right now, it can go either way.
