GOLD → Consolidation before the news. What to expect?FX:XAUUSD is not going to turn around. The level of economic risks is still at a high level and the price may continue to rise, but after the end of consolidation.
Gold is back to a record $3,246 despite calm markets. Lower US bond yields and a pause in capital withdrawals are supporting demand for protective assets.
Uncertainty around Trump's tariff policy and expectations of a Fed rate cut are driving prices higher. Additional support is provided by inflows into Chinese ETFs and expectations of Chinese GDP data. Further gold movement depends on headlines on tariffs and Fed rhetoric.
Technically, the focus is on consolidation 3244 - 3187 and internal support level 3208.
Resistance levels: 3244, 3270
Support levels: 3208, 3187
The market is likely to be in consolidation until tomorrow, when important economic reports will be published. But nevertheless, there could be strong movements intraday due to various factors. I expect to see a retest of support at 3208 or 3187 before further upside. But, consolidation near 3244, breakout and consolidation above the level may give a chance for growth
Regards R. Linda!

XAUUSD Technical Analysis Update
🔹 Timeframes Observed: H1, M30, and M15
Gold (XAUUSD) has officially broken the trendline on all three lower timeframes — 1 Hour, 30 Minutes, and 15 Minutes — indicating a clear shift in market structure towards the downside.
🔹 Key Support Level:
The next critical confirmation of bearish continuation will occur if price breaks below the $3116 support zone. A clean break and retest of this level can serve as strong validation for further downside movement.
🔹 Target Zones:
If the bearish momentum sustains, price may head towards the following levels:
🎯 Target 1: $3195
🎯 Target 2: $3172
🎯 Target 3: $3132
🔹 Stop Loss:
To manage risk effectively, a recommended stop loss is placed at $3250. This helps protect against unexpected price spikes or false breakouts.
🔹 EMA Confluence:
The 21 EMA on the M30 timeframe has been broken, adding another layer of confirmation to the bearish bias. This EMA break often signals a shift in short- to mid-term trend direction.
⚠️ Important Note on Fundamentals:
While technicals currently show a bearish setup, it's essential to monitor fundamental drivers closely — including economic news releases, central bank statements, tariffs, and geopolitical events — as any significant development can invalidate technical patterns and shift market sentiment instantly.

Gold at it's Peak Now???Gold has pushed right though the HTF 0:1.618.
Now catching resistance at the 1:2.414 ratio band. If it pushes through this ratio, there is not much stopping it from hitting the upper 2.272 level.
If a correction were to start here (and it's about that time) this may be a clue that a rally up for crypto will begin soon, as this was this case for the last Gold correction that started in November 2024.
-Not Financial Advice-
GOLD.. alternate still buying scnerios, what's next??#GOLD.. well market have single supporting area that is around 3226
Keep close that area because that is our single supporig area and if market thold in that case further bull run is still valid.

Gold for week 20-25 April trade plan
With fundamental of trade war and Jerome Powell news. There are many uncertainties in the market.
High volatility is going to be expected however trade precaution is highly advised for my personal trade.
Base on technical with assistance of fibo from previous structure breakout what I saw was gold manage to reach area of 2.618. however, a strong rejection was present that pushes it close to 1.618 as a current support. Undeniably gold is way over bought and price is considerably expensive. But that does not mean that gold could not goes even higher as the last break of structure and strong push gold has the potential still to climb up to 4.236 base on fibo and the area of 3420-3439 but first it needs to settle the current resistance of 3357.
So, what can happen on Monday and what does I want to look for if to buy for gold.
1. For continuation at the current market price of 3325 would gold give a push higher and break the last H1 supply. If happens I know I would be able to have a good 200-300pips to retest the ATH. So, I would take a precautioned buy trade of pullback and close TP range with 1:2 RR. Plus 20% position open TP.
2. If gold make a pullback to the cmp weak support and then only to break above similar trade as above I would take.
So, what does I want to look for if to sell for gold.
1. If gold able to utilise the current fbo sell and break below 3309. Then only I will take a continuation sell trade with similar strategy trade plan range and RR at the nearest SBR of m5/m15. So, means it needs to provide a new support pullback and then enter. Max target of this sell I target up to 3285-90 extension 3270 and 3230. The moment close to this area I should start monitoring if any change of character to have the bullish bias again or not. As bullish is still in bias.
Another possibility that I need to prepared and I hope it would not happen as its really not easy to identify if it’s going to make a temporary sideways between 3280-3360. However if this happens then I would look for buys and sells after buys and sells signals appear only in m30 and above candle. To sell slightly lower then 3360 after a rejection confirmed or to buy slightly higher then 3280 after a rejection confirm.
So that the game plan for next week
Gold is brewing a big drop!After the tariff issue was moderately cooled, gold returned to calm and volatility gradually narrowed! From the candle chart, although gold did not form an effective decline, the bullish momentum slowed down significantly!
Since gold rose near 2970, it has reached a high of around 3246. The bulls did not get a respite. After the news returned to calm, gold may usher in a technical retracement repair; gold has been blocked near 3246 many times in the past two days, and the upper shadow line clearly shows a rejection signal! In the current gold structure, gold has formed a secondary high point near 3232, and it is very likely to combine the 3246 high point to form a double top structure, which is conducive to the decline of gold to a certain extent;
In addition, compared with the market's expected targets of 3300 and 3400, the upper side belongs to an unknown area and is more risky, while the lower side has a previous historical track. From the perspective of market psychology and risk preference, gold prices may be more willing to retreat.
So in the short term, I will still not give up my short position. Once gold falls below the 3205-3200 zone, the area around 3190 will not be able to stop the decline of gold. The retracement target area is located in: 3160-3140 zone.

4/16 Gold Trading StrategiesYesterday, gold moved within a narrow range, as anticipated. After rising toward the 3230 level, it encountered selling pressure and pulled back, which provided us with some profitable short-term opportunities.
Currently, gold has broken above 3240 and continues to climb steadily. A conservative estimate suggests that a push toward 3250 is achievable without much resistance. However, this is a new high, and after a rapid ascent, it’s common to see profit-taking from long positions and short sellers entering the market from the sidelines. Therefore, chasing long positions at current levels carries increased risk and should be approached with caution.
Today’s Trading Recommendations:
Sell Zone: 3255 – 3270
A potential resistance zone where short positions may be considered.
Buy Zone: 3178 – 3158
Key support area for initiating long positions if the price corrects.
Range Trading Zones:
3240 – 3220
3188 – 3220
Suitable for flexible trading strategies based on real-time price action and candlestick signals.
Summary:
While gold remains in an uptrend, the market is approaching a sensitive area where both selling pressure and volatility may increase. Be cautious with chasing highs, and focus on technical levels for strategic entries and exits. The potential for a short-term reversal or pullback remains if resistance holds strong.
Gold Daily Analysis 16/04/2025Gold still in very strong uptrend wave, expected to make little daily correction to the are 3280-3256, Short position are at very risk, Long position are the safe direction of market, with eyes on 3255 if broken, we should out from any long position waiting the deep correction on weekly basis.
good luck for all,
Advice, Stop lose and trailing stop is very important.
