Gold Surges on Weak NFP Hello everyone, what’s your take on XAUUSD? Gold prices soared at the end of the last session and are now trading around $3,380. This sharp rise followed a weaker-than-expected U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, which shifted market sentiment toward expectations that the Fed may delay interest rate cuts. As a result, the U.S. dollar weakened and demand for gold as a safe haven surged. Technically, gold appears to be forming a cup and handle pattern, with the first resistance target at $3,400, followed by $3,435. What do you think? Could this rally continue? Let us know in the comments!

SMART MONEY CONCEPT (SMC)Bearish Analysis – Market Structure 1: Market Context • The price was coming from a strong bullish structure that had already mitigated the last remaining interest in the 4H OB. • A key resistance zone was formed where institutional investors closed buy orders. • The bullish momentum left a Fair Value Gap in 1H, which has not yet been mitigated. 2: Shift Signals • A fake out (false breakout) was observed above the resistance, followed by a Change of Character (Choch). • This indicates liquidity absorption and the possible start of a bearish phase. • Distribution structure confirmed before the bearish momentum. 3:Entry Plan and Target • Entry (Sell): In the upper zone after the 4H OB retest/resistance. • Stop Loss: Above the fake out wick (invalidation zone). • Take Profit: Around 3305, seeking to mitigate the FVG-1H and reach the previous support zone. • RR: High (favorable for swing or scalping with partials). 4:Confirmation and Management • Wait for confirmation on a lower timeframe (5M / 1M) before executing the entry. • Watch for a possible last liquidity grab before falling. • Manage with partials and move the SL to BE when the halfway point is exceeded. GOOD LUCK TRADERS…

GOLD falls sharply, fundamental analysis and technical positionOANDA:XAUUSD fell sharply below the $3,300/oz price level as Chairman Jerome Powell did not signal any rate cuts at his next press conference on September 16-17. He only said that “no decision has been made on September” and that “more data will be evaluated in the coming months.” Economic data undermined the case for a rate cut, while geopolitical play remained a potential support. The Fed and Interest Rates The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged for a fifth straight meeting on Wednesday, defying persistent pressure from President Donald Trump and White House officials. However, two members of the central bank's board dissented, a rare move in three decades that underscored growing divisions within the central bank over the impact of Trump's tariff policies. At the meeting, the Fed kept its benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, in line with policy through 2025. Last fall, the Fed cut rates by a total of 100 basis points. However, Federal Reserve Board Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman opposed cutting interest rates by another 25 basis points, marking the first time since Alan Greenspan in 1993 that two board members have opposed a majority resolution at a meeting. At the press conference, Chairman Jerome Powell did not signal a rate cut at the next interest rate meeting on September 16-17, saying only that “no decision has been made about September” and that “more data will be evaluated in the coming months.” Powell also noted that despite Trump’s call for a sharp 3% rate cut to reduce interest costs on US debt and stimulate the housing market, the Fed will continue to monitor the longer-term impact of tariffs on the path of inflation and economic recovery. Market expectations for a Fed rate cut in September fell to 47% in Powell's speech. Economic data ADP jobs data beats expectations and is bearish US ADP payrolls jumped 104,000 in July, beating market expectations of 75,000 and marking the biggest gain since March. The data showed continued strength in the labor market, reinforcing the Federal Reserve’s stance on keeping interest rates high. Meanwhile, the preliminary estimate of annual GDP growth in the second quarter came in at 3% (2.4% expected), and the core personal consumption expenditures price index rose 2.5% year-on-year (2.3% expected), indicating both economic resilience and inflation stability, further weakening expectations for a rate cut. Keep an eye on the ISM manufacturing PMI and non-farm payrolls data on August 1. If the jobs numbers continue to be strong, this could reinforce the Fed’s dovish stance. Geopolitical and Policy Plays News of a 90-day extension of the US-China tariff deal has eased some safe-haven demand, but Trump’s August 8 deadline for a new Russia-Ukraine deal, coupled with tensions in the Middle East, continue to provide potential support for gold. Continued purchases by central banks (such as China and India) are a positive signal in the medium to long term, but are unlikely to offset short-term pressure from the Federal Reserve’s policies. Technical outlook for OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, gold has been sold below the $3,300 level and now the $3,300 level has become the nearest resistance at present. For now, gold will be limited by the area of ​​the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement with the original price point of $3,300, along with that it has formed a short-term downtrend with the price channel, the next target will be around $3,246 in the short term followed by the Fibonacci retracement level noted with readers in previous publications. On the momentum front, the Relative Strength Index is operating below 50 and is far from the oversold zone (20-0), indicating that there is still plenty of room for downside ahead. In addition, the gold trend will also be pressured by the EMA21, as long as gold remains below the EMA21, the current technical conditions continue to favor the downside. For the day, the technical outlook for gold is bearish with notable positions listed as follows. Support: 3,246 – 3,228 USD Resistance: 3,300 USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3345 - 3343⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3349 →Take Profit 1 3337 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3331 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3240 - 3242⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3236 →Take Profit 1 3248 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3254

Gold (XAU/USD) - Market Structure Analysis Points to Next MoveThe provided 4-hour chart for Gold (XAU/USD) displays a market structure analysis incorporating concepts like Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and defined support and target (resistance) levels. The price has shown a recent bullish trend, marked by higher highs and higher lows, confirmed by BOS signals. Currently, the price is consolidating around the 1st support level after reacting to a FVG. Current Position: Consolidating around the 1st support level (approximately $3,365.028 - $3,353.094). Support Levels: 1st support: Immediate support zone. 2nd support: Lower support zone ($3,328.619 - $3,320.000). GL Zone & Support Zone: Confluence of a Golden Level and support ($3,299.096 - $3,290.067). MAJOR SUP ZONE: Significant historical support area ($3,280.000 - $3,273.685). Resistance Levels (Targets): 1st TG: Target/resistance zone ($3,392.891 - $3,402.807), containing a FVG. 2nd TG: Higher target/resistance zone ($3,413.659 - $3,423.805), also containing a FVG. Market Structure: Evident bullish market structure with BOS confirmations, although a recent CHoCH suggests a potential shift or at least a temporary pause in the aggressive uptrend. Multiple FVGs indicate areas where price might find support or resistance. Potential Trading Scenarios Bullish Continuation: If the price respects the 1st support level and moves to fill the lower FVG within the 1st TG, a long opportunity could arise targeting the 2nd TG. Confirmation would be a break above the upper boundary of the 1st TG. Bearish Retracement: If the 1st support fails to hold, the price could retrace towards the 2nd support level. A break below the 1st support and a failure to hold the FVG within the 1st TG would signal this scenario. Range Trading: The price could consolidate between the 1st support and 1st TG levels, offering short-term trading opportunities within this range. Explanation of Specific Elements BOS (Break of Structure): Indicates a continuation of the current trend. A bullish BOS occurs when the price makes a higher high, confirming the uptrend. CHoCH (Change of Character): Suggests a potential shift in the market's behavior. A bearish CHoCH after a bullish trend might indicate weakening buying pressure and a possibility of a reversal or a significant pullback. FVG (Fair Value Gap): Represents an inefficiency in the market where there were aggressive price movements with less trading volume on one side. These gaps can act as future support or resistance levels as the market often tries to fill them. Support Levels: Price levels where buying pressure is expected to outweigh selling pressure, potentially halting a downtrend. Target/Resistance Levels (TG): Price levels where selling pressure is expected to outweigh buying pressure, potentially halting an uptrend. GL Zone & Support Zone (Golden Level): This likely refers to a support level coinciding with a Fibonacci Golden Ratio level, often considered a high-probability reversal zone. MAJOR SUP ZONE: A significant historical support level where strong buying interest has been seen in the past. TradingView "Publish Idea" Post Based on the Chart Title: Gold (XAU/USD) - Bullish Structure Consolidating at Support with Breakout Potential Analysis: Gold (XAU/USD) on the 4-hour timeframe shows a clear bullish market structure confirmed by multiple Breaks of Structure (BOS). After a strong upward move, the price is currently consolidating around the 1st support level ($3,365.028 - $3,353.094), which also aligns with a Fair Value Gap (FVG). The presence of a recent Change of Character (CHoCH) suggests that the aggressive bullish momentum might have temporarily subsided, and we could be seeing a period of accumulation before the next move. The price action within the FVG near the 1st TG ($3,392.891 - $3,402.807) will be crucial. Potential Scenarios & Trading Plan: Bullish Continuation: If the 1st support holds and the price breaks above the upper boundary of the FVG within the 1st TG, it would signal a likely continuation of the bullish trend. Long Entry: Upon a confirmed breakout above $3,402.807. Target 1: The 2nd TG zone ($3,413.659 - $3,423.805), which also contains a FVG. Stop Loss: Place below the 1st support level (e.g., below $3,353.000) to manage risk. Bearish Retracement: Failure to hold the 1st support could lead to a deeper retracement. Short Entry: On a confirmed break below $3,353.000. Target 1: The 2nd support zone ($3,328.619 - $3,320.000). Stop Loss: Place above the 1st support level. Key Levels to Watch: Support: $3,365.028 - $3,353.094, $3,328.619 - $3,320.000, $3,299.096 - $3,290.067. Resistance (Targets): $3,392.891 - $3,402.807, $3,413.659 - $3,423.805.

XAUUSD August 2025 Monthly OutlookWelcome to August — and welcome to the top of the macro ladder. Gold is not just rising. It’s rewriting structure. 🔸 Macro & Fundamentals Gold opens August with a fresh impulsive breakout above $3360, fuelled by a weaker USD, rising global risk sentiment, and continued speculative positioning from institutional buyers. The upcoming Jackson Hole meeting and shifting Federal Reserve expectations create the perfect climate for volatility. All eyes are now on the premium structure top — but will gold expand beyond it or retrace to refill? 🔸 Monthly Trend & Bias (HTF Overview) 🔹 Structure: Clean bullish BOS, continuation leg in progress 🔹 Last CHoCH: April 2023 → Confirmed full trend shift bullish 🔹 Current Monthly Candle: Explosive push into supply with top wick rejection beginning to show 🔹 Bias: Still bullish but in extreme premium — watch for cooling/rebalancing 🔸 EMA Structure | EMA Type | Status | Signal | | ----------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------- | | EMA 5 / 21 | Strong Bullish | Dynamic expansion, steep angle upward | EMA 50 | Below | Clean breakout from range | EMA 100/200 | Far below | Long-term uptrend deeply intact 🔸 Key HTF Levels (Wick-to-Wick Mapping) Zone Type Price Range Confluences 🔴 Premium Supply 3350 – 3439 Monthly FVG + Wick exhaustion + RSI 80+ 🔵 Bullish Imbalance 3180 – 3270 Monthly FVG + old BOS + EMA5 baseline 🔵 Mid-Level Support 2920 – 3000 Monthly OB + FVG + structure base 🔵 Deep Demand 2670 – 2780 HTF equilibrium zone + RSI support ✅ The current candle has pierced into the final wick supply, but with clear signs of loss in momentum. ⚠️ If 3439 breaks cleanly, next expansion zone opens toward 3505 → 3610 (Fibonacci projection). Otherwise, expect cooling to 3270–3180 first. 🔸 Fibonacci Context 🔻 Swing Low: 1810 🔺 Swing High: 3439 🎯 Current price ($3363) sits just below the 100% Fibonacci projection, with the 1.272 and 1.618 extensions at 3610 and 3740. This confirms we are in a macro premium, and any long positions from here forward must be built only on strong LTF confirmation or clean pullbacks into value. 🔸 August Scenarios 🟢 Scenario 1 – Breakout + Price Discovery If bulls break 3439 with strong volume and close: New leg toward 3505 → 3610 opens Watch for LTF continuation on H4–D1 with bullish OB reentry Only valid if 3350 holds as new support 🔻 Scenario 2 – Rejection + Healthy Pullback If price holds below 3439 and monthly wick exhausts: Clean retracement toward 3270 → 3180 expected EMA5/21 rebalancing will support bullish structure Deeper rejection could retest 3070 zone if volatility spikes 🔸 Conclusion & Action Plan We open August fully inside the last monthly supply zone. Trend is still bullish, but RSI, FVGs, and EMA distance warn us: this is not the time to chase — it’s time to wait for structure to speak. 📌 Key pivot = 3439. Above it → Expansion. Below it → Retracement. Let August unfold — but stay sharp. The next big move will be born from this compression. — What’s your take — are we just getting started or about to cool off? Drop your thoughts, chart it out, and stay ready for what August brings. ⚔️ — ❤️ Like if you enjoy clean, actionable updates🚀🚀🚀 🔁 Share with traders who love structure over noise With clarity, confidence, and control, GoldFxMinds

Gold trend analysis!From the price level of 3368 and above, gold is expected to pull back at least until the Stochastic on the M30–H1 timeframes reaches oversold levels. After that, a bullish continuation is likely, pushing the price up to around 3400. This area will be a critical decision point — determining whether the market will continue its uptrend or reverse into a downtrend. If the H4 chart prints a reversal candlestick pattern, it would indicate the beginning of a bearish trend, which could potentially lead to a downward movement of up to 20,000 points.

Potential Reversal After Complex CorrectionThe current movement of gold (XAUUSD) is estimated to be forming part of wave ii of wave (c) of wave under the black label scenario. This implies that XAUUSD has the potential to undergo a deeper correction, targeting the 3,073–3,184 range. However, under the alternative red label, the price action appears to be developing a triangle pattern as part of wave of wave 4. In this scenario, XAUUSD still holds the potential for further upside toward the 3,394–3,438 area, which also coincides with a Fibonacci cluster zone, serving as a critical resistance region.

After data shock, GOLD has bullish conditions againOANDA:XAUUSD rose more than 2% on Friday, hitting a one-week high, as weaker-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls data boosted hopes of a Federal Reserve rate cut and the announcement of new tariffs boosted safe-haven demand. On the economic data front Gold prices rose more than 2% in U.S. trading on Friday (Aug. 1), hitting a one-week high, as weaker-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls data fueled hopes of a Federal Reserve rate cut and safe-haven demand was boosted by the announcement of new tariffs. The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that nonfarm payrolls increased by just 73,000 jobs in July, well below market expectations of 110,000. June's data was revised down to just 14,000, indicating a significant slowdown in job growth. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, indicating a cooling labor market. The jobs data was weaker than expected, but slightly higher than the market's lowest forecast. This increases the likelihood of a rate cut by the Fed later this year. As a non-yielding asset, gold typically performs better in a low-interest-rate environment. According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, market participants now expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates twice before the end of the year, starting in September. Earlier this week, the Fed held rates steady at 4.25%-4.50%. Chairman Powell said it was too early to determine whether a rate cut would be forthcoming in September, citing inflation and employment data. On the trade front Trump has imposed a new round of tariffs on exports from dozens of trading partners, including Canada, Brazil, India and Taiwan, causing a global market crash. Countries are scrambling to negotiate a better deal. In times of economic and geopolitical uncertainty, safe-haven gold is in high demand. So far in 2025, gold prices have risen more than $400, hitting a record high of $3,167.57/oz on April 3, driven by safe-haven demand and central bank buying. Weak jobs data also sent the dollar lower against major currencies, further supporting gold prices as a weaker greenback makes gold more attractive to investors holding other currencies. Investors' Attention Turns to September FOMC Meeting Markets are now focused on the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Facing the dual pressures of volatile inflation, slowing employment and escalating global trade tensions, the Fed will have to balance its inflation target with economic growth. Markets are betting on the Fed to begin a new round of easing, and gold, as a hedge against currency devaluation and economic uncertainty, is expected to continue to benefit. Gold prices have risen more than 30% year-to-date, reflecting the market’s preference for safe-haven assets. If weak U.S. economic data continues in the coming weeks, or if new geopolitical conflicts emerge, gold prices are expected to continue their upward trend, challenging new highs for the year. Summary, Commentary Weak employment, new tariffs and a slumping stock market have all contributed to a strong recovery in gold prices. With the possibility of the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in September increasing significantly, gold market sentiment has warmed and risk aversion has returned. Investors will need to keep a close eye on inflation data, Fed officials’ speeches, and whether Trump continues to stoke trade tensions, which could lead to greater volatility in the gold market. Against the backdrop of the unexpected non-farm payrolls report and moderate inflation, the market has essentially “locked in” the possibility of a rate cut in September, but whether the cut will be 25 or 50 basis points, and whether there will be further rate cuts in the future, will depend on the interaction between the Fed members’ verbal guidance and market expectations. Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, affected by the sudden weak data that shocked the market, gold broke most of the technical structure that was leaning towards the downside. Price action was pushed above the EMA21, while the short-term downtrend channel was also broken above and the Relative Strength Index crossed above 50. These are the initial conditions for a short-term uptrend. But to confirm an uptrend and a new uptrend in the near term, gold needs to continue to break above the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level (3,371 USD) first, then the target will be around 3,400 USD in the short term. If gold breaks above $3,400 again, traders should set a new target of $3,430 in the short term, rather than $3,450 which is the all-time high. Motivationally, the RSI has not reached oversold territory to provide pure reversal support, but it has been pushed by the market shock after the NFP data release, so this rally may not be sustainable in a purely motivational way either. Overall, gold is now more bullish after a rally on Friday, opening up initial conditions for expectations of a new uptrend. And the notable points will be listed as follows. Support: 3,323 – 3,310 – 3,300 USD Resistance: 3,371 – 3,400 – 3,430 USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3376 - 3374⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3380 →Take Profit 1 3368 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3362 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3327 - 3329⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3323 →Take Profit 1 3335 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3341
