Gold Selling Continues While Equities Were MixedThe S&P and Nasdaq finished the session today with slight gains while the Russel decreased near 1%, with tech leading the way higher for equities. Along with that, the precious metals saw more selling pressure today with Gold, Silver, and Copper all trading lower today with Silver leading to the downside, decreasing by over 2%. Looking at a daily chart for Gold, the market has been trading out above the 50-day moving average since January of this year, and the current selling pressure has sent the Gold market back down toward this level.
Gold has been on a strong push higher since the start of the year, achieving a new all time high on multiple occasions and being up over 20% even with the recent decline in prices. The Fed environment and inflation landscape can have a large impact on the global price of Gold, and the potential changes in interest rates and inflation data could be adding to the volatility seen since the recent all time high from April 22nd. Tomorrow, there is a large slate of economic data along with remarks from Fed Chair Powell which could potentially spark catalysts for Gold prices as we wrap up the week.

Session Realtime BarJust an idea for better visuals, use 2 of the SessionBar indicator on the chart use the spacing setup with the active bar to the left of the overnight bar in the other indicator...
One indicator for the Active Session Bar: indicating the current session bar.
2nd indicator for the Overnight Session Bar: indicating the overnight session bar.
3 Bar Uptrend Line in Gold Intact!Hey Traders so here is an example of how to trade the uptrend in Gold. Watch for pullbacks to the trendline then place trades and use risk management. This is why you don't need indicators all you need is a simple trendline, basic fibonacci levels and support and resistance knowledge. As you can see sometimes these 3 bar Trend lines can be the actual long term trend!
Here is a close up of why want to draw the trend line early.
Hope it helps your trading,
Enjoy!

Gold had Swept Lows and Filled Bullish Gaps! Reversal next?This is price action that I was patiently waiting for. Now that we have that sweep lows Im looking for signs price want to turn around. It can remain bearish for now. But Im expecting to see something clear by the time we get inside of the killzone.
GC - Gold digging for a possible ShortAfter reaching WL2, we saw a sharp pullback followed by an immediate double top. Price failed to reach the centerline of the yellow fork, instead stalling at the 1/4 line.
Then came the break of the lower median line (L-MLH), a pullback to the white WL1—then the drop began.
If this market can’t push to new highs, we’ll likely fall back into the median line set. A pullback to the upper median line (U-MLH), as indicated by the red arrows, is a probable scenario.
Next stop: the white centerline.
I trade tiny. I trade with extremely high risk-reward setups. I’m fine getting stopped out all the time —because I’m hunting huge moves.
I don’t chase. No FOMO.
It’s how I sleep well, make money from trading and keep my stress level very low.
Gold- 50 day ema in playAs my bearish gold call materializes, I must be aware of the 50 day ema. For all the reasons previously stated, gold is moving lower and it makes sense based on the patterns, divergences, support broken, etc. However, the 50 day ema support level can easily wipeout bearish sentiment if it holds. The 50 day ema is far more powerful than the multiple reasons to short gold. It is such a widely followed indicator and it lets new buyers come into the market to halt the price decline and further more, there will be a cohort of traders that close (buy) their short positions at the 50 day ema. So it almost becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Gold Futures 15-Minute Timeframe Analysis15-minute timeframe, upper range boundary at 3247.4, lower range boundary at 3220.7.
You could consider trading within this range by selling near the top and buying near the bottom (high-probability mean reversion). However, I recommend waiting for a breakout or breakdown of the range and then trading the trend on the 5-minute timeframe.
15分钟周期,区间上沿3247.4,区间下沿3220.7。可以考虑做该区间内的高抛低吸,但我建议等待突破或跌破区间后,在5分钟周期做趋势单子
Gold Futures Wyckoff Re-accumulation and Lunar Day SynergyWe’re observing a textbook Wyckoff Reaccumulation unfolding on Gold Futures (4H), with somewhat clean volume behavior and alignment with recent lunar cycle activity — pointing toward a potential Wyckoff Phase D launch.
Wyckoff Breakdown:
1. Buying Climax established the range.
2. Automatic Reaction and Secondary Test defined support and resistance.
3. A Shakeout/Spring briefly broke support, absorbed supply, and reversed.
4. Spring Test held structure (though not on noticeably lower volume).
5. A clear Jump Over the Creek followed — strong demand emerging.
6. LPS (Last Point of Support) formed during a choppy pullback on Lunar Days 12–13, staying above demand and within structure.
We’re now in a pivotal moment — price is poised for continuation if buyers defend the LPS zone.
🌙 Lunar Days 12–13 (May 7–10)
-Typically a time of building energy + internal tension.
-Retests of breakout zones.
-Erratic, tricky pullbacks that challenge emotional conviction.
-The illusion of market weakness despite underlying strength.
📌 Gold pulled back during these days, testing the jump zone with indecision — but structure held. The LPS formed under cosmic pressure, showing resilience.
🌕 Lunar Day 15 – Full Moon (May 11–12)
-The culmination point — emotionally and energetically.
-Expect large candles, climax volume, or even fakeouts.
-Common reversal signals: parabolic spikes, gap reverals, wicks.
-Ends a trend — or confirms a Wyckoff phase transition.
📌 In our context, the Full Moon lines up with price stabilizing above LPS. Supply appears to be drying up. We could now be entering Phase E, or an aggressive Phase D continuation with a possible markup leg.
🌓 Lunar Day 16 – Integration & Clarity (May 12–13)
A time for reflection, balance, and trend confirmation.
If Day 15 broke upward on strong volume, today might:
-Consolidate healthily
-Retest support (LPS)
-Hold gains for next leg up
If no follow-through on Day 15:
-Expect a calmer retest — offering a second chance for buyers to step in without emotional overreaction.
💡 Key Levels to Watch:
LPS support zone — needs to hold for bullish continuation.
Volume confirmation — essential for validating Phase D → E transition.
Reaction to Full Moon volatility — will reveal true intent.
Bearish Price Action for GoldThe risk on trade is putting further downward pressure on gold. Combine that with the bearish technical setup( multiple divergences, triangle pattern break, Trendline pattern break, bearish evening star candlestick pattern) and the charts suggest this move has room to extend to the downside. Conservative pattern targets suggest the PML(previous monthly low) is in play which is 2970. That seems reasonable as it is a conservative target. As I write this gold is testing 3240 which is a PWL(previous weekly low) and it is acting as support. Gold is below its monthly pivot of 3266 so the bears and bulls will probably fight this one out for a day or two and then the picture will get clearer if this move wants to extend or it is simply a correction in a longer term uptrend.
Agree to disagree... Gold is topping right now.My price path seen above is a complete guess but it stems from long term trend lines and more importantly order flow from last week.
On Thursday there was a #1 trade on AMEX:PHYS for $200+ Million at the green levels in my chart above (Equivalent levels). PRICE WILL 100% go to my green lines by end of this week 04/25.
We are over shooting the dark pool sale but a lot, however, this is always to trap retail and create fomo/peak fear.
In the correction/recession cycles, gold ALWAYS TOPS LAST before the crash...
