XAU/USD Analysis – Critical Breakout Zone Approaching 30M Chart📈 XAU/USD Analysis – Critical Breakout Zone Approaching (30-Minute Chart) 🔍 Technical Overview: Chart Type: 30-minutes Indicators: Ichimoku Cloud Key Structures: Supply & Demand Zones, CHoCH, BOS, Trendlines, Triangle Formation 🔑 Key Market Observations: 🟢 Demand Zone (Support) ~ $3,300 – $3,310 This area has been tested multiple times and has shown strength in absorbing selling pressure. A bullish triangle formation is converging into this zone, suggesting a potential breakout point is near. 🔴 Supply Zone (Resistance) ~ $3,375 – $3,390 Repeated price rejection from this zone marks it as a strong institutional-level resistance. Price needs a clean breakout and volume confirmation to push through this level. 📉 Break of Structure (BOS) & Change of Character (CHoCH): BOS and CHoCH levels are clearly marked, showing a trend shift from bullish to bearish (post-supply test). The last CHoCH aligns with a lower high, reinforcing bearish dominance unless invalidated. 📐 Symmetrical Triangle Formation: Price is squeezing between higher lows and lower highs, coiling before a significant breakout. Two scenarios are outlined: Bullish Breakout: Clear move above triangle resistance → test of supply. Bearish Breakout: Breakdown → revisit demand zone or even drop toward $3,280–$3,270. ☁️ Ichimoku Cloud: Price is currently testing the lower boundary of the Ichimoku cloud. A bullish breakout into/above the cloud may act as confirmation of a reversal attempt. 💡 Potential Trade Setups: ✅ Bullish Case: Trigger: Break and close above $3,335 with volume. Target 1: $3,375 (Supply Zone) Target 2: $3,440 (Extended Target) Invalidation: Rejection from triangle top and close below $3,310. ❌ Bearish Case: Trigger: Break and close below $3,310 (triangle breakdown). Target 1: $3,280 Target 2: $3,260 Invalidation: Bullish breakout of triangle and flip of previous CHoCH level.

XAUUSD 4Hour TF - July 27th, 2025XAUUSD 7/27/2025 XAUUSD 4 hour Neutral Idea Monthly - Bullish Weekly - Bullish Daily - Bullish 4hour - Bearish Last week we saw a perfect setup playout and then it retraced 100% to close out the week. This is looking more bearish on the 4Hour timeframe now but we need to see how price action reacts at the 3,320 support zone first. Here are two potential scenarios we want to see for the week ahead. Bullish Reversal - If we are to see gold as bullish again we would ideally like to see some consolidation at the current level followed by strong bullish conviction. We need to see convincing price action before we can begin targeting higher. Consolidation + Bullish conviction will be our best chance at a long position. Bearish Continuation - The 4hour sure looks bearish but will it sustain? Looking ahead into the week we want to see price action push below 3,320 with bearish structure below. I would also like to see a pattern or a few hours to a day of consolidation below 3,320. If this happens we can begin to target lower toward major support levels like 3,225.

The Myth of Gold Reversals – Why Traders Keep Catching the KnifeGold is a master of deception. It shows a clean wick into a zone, but reacts just enough to pull in early buyers or sellers — then rips straight through their stops like they weren’t even there. The reversal looked real and the candles seemed perfect. But the move? It was never meant for them. This isn’t bad luck, but traders who survive aren’t trying to guess, they are the ones reading the reaction after the trap. Let’s break down how these traps happen — and how Smart Money actually operates when XAUUSD is loading a real move. 🟥 Sell Trap – The "Instant Short" Mistake Price pushes up into a clear reaction zone — maybe an OB, maybe an imbalance, a FVG, or a gap. Structure looks stretched. Traders recognize a premium zone and decide it’s time to short. The trap? Jumping in immediately on the touch, with no confirmation. This is where Gold loves to trap sellers. No M15 CHoCH/ BOS on M5 or real liquidity swept. Just a blind move and hope. Price often pulls slightly higher — sweeping internal liquidity, triggering SLs — then shows a real rejection. 📌 Here’s what needs to happen before selling: • First: look for a liquidity sweep (equal highs or engineered inducement) • Then: price must shift — CHoCH or BOS on M15 or M5 • Finally: confirmation via bearish engulf, imbalance fill, or break + retest • For experts: M1 can offer refined sniper triggers with minimal drawdown 💡 If none of this appears, it’s not a setup — it’s a trap. 🟩 Buy Trap – The "Wick Bounce" Illusion Price taps a demand zone — again, a refined OB or imbalance, liquidity zone. A long bullish wick forms. Some candles pause. It looks like a reversal. But there’s no shift.Just hovering. Many jump in long the second they see the wick. And then price breaks straight through. 📌 Here’s how to flip this trap into a real buy: • Let price sweep liquidity below the zone — signs of a purge - true wick bounce • Watch for a CHoCH or BOS on M15, M5, or even M1 • Look for a strong bullish engulf from the reactive level • Confirm via imbalance fill or price reclaiming broken structure 📍 If all that happens — the trap becomes your entry. If not? Stand down. 📊 What Smart Traders Actually Do Differently They don’t chase wicks. And never enter just because price tapped a line. IT IS ALL ABOUT READING STRUCTURE AND PRICE ACTION. Here’s how: • Mark the highest probability reaction zones — above and below current price; • Set alerts, not blind entries; • Wait for price to come into their zone and then watch what it does there; • Look for confirmation: CHoCHs, BOS, engulfing candles, FVG fills, clean rejections; • And always keep one eye on the news — because Gold reacts fast and violently when volatility hits. • Repeat this work daily until they learn how to recognize signs faster and more secure. That’s the difference between chasing the reversal… and trading the move after the trap. Because in this game, patience isn’t just a virtue — it’s survival. And Gold? Well, XAUUSD has no mercy for those in a hurry and not studying its moves day by day, month after month and so on. Learn structure and price action even if you join any channel for help if you are serious about trading this amazing metal.

Gold (XAU/USD) – Technical UpdateDate: July 30, 2025 ✅ Market Reaction Confirms the Forecast In our previous analysis, we highlighted the $3,308–$3,315 region as a high-probability demand zone, reinforced by a deep retracement into the 89% Fibonacci level. We also pointed to a liquidity grab beneath $3,308 and projected a potential bullish reversal toward $3,345 and $3,398. Today, price action has validated this view with precision. ✅ Price swept liquidity below $3,308 as expected, triggering a sharp rejection from our zone. ✅ A clear bounce followed, pushing price upward and confirming that large buyers stepped in—exactly where we anticipated. ✅ The structure is now shifting bullish, with price currently trading above $3,331, heading confidently toward our first target at $3,345. 📊 Why This Matters This reaction was not random—it followed the logic laid out in the prior analysis: -The demand zone was respected. -The discounted pricing at 89% retracement offered maximum risk-reward. -The internal imbalance between $3,345–$3,398 continues to act as a magnet, just as we outlined. This is a textbook move where price hunted stops, tapped into demand, and began its upward drive—exactly as described in advance. 🎯 Targets Remain Valid Target 1: $3,345 → Currently in progress. Price is gravitating toward this level, which also aligns with the 50% Fib retracement and minor supply. Target 2: $3,398 → The final destination of this bullish move, completing the fill of the inefficiency left behind by the last drop. 🧠 Final Word This is a strong confirmation of the original idea. The technical story has unfolded step by step as predicted, proving the reliability of the analysis. For traders following along, this not only reinforces confidence in the setup—but also showcases the power of disciplined, structure-based trading. 🔥 The move is unfolding exactly as projected. Patience, precision, and planning are now paying off. consider like and follow so you don't miss any next analysis or update of the chart you can ask me in the comment section

7/30: Watch for Sell Opportunities in the 3352–3363 ZoneGood morning, everyone! After a period of consolidation and decline, gold has found preliminary support near the 3300 level, and early signs of a bottom formation are emerging. The key technical level now lies around the 3332–3337 resistance zone. Based on current price structure, a breakout is likely, with major resistance seen at 3352–3358, while 3323–3316 serves as the primary support range. However, caution is warranted as today’s ADP employment data may significantly influence short-term price action. Whether gold can hold above the 3337–3343 level depends on the data's impact. From a broader perspective: On the weekly chart, the 20-period moving average (MA20) has climbed to around 3276, yet the overall structure remains bearish for bulls On the daily chart, gold is still trading below the MA60, facing notable resistance This week's key events — ADP (Wednesday), jobless claims, and NFP (Thursday and Friday) — will likely shape gold’s medium-term trend Trading Strategy for Today: Focus on the 3313–3353 trading range, and be highly responsive to data-driven volatility. Important note: If gold rises to 3343–3358 before the ADP release, then regardless of whether the data is bullish or bearish, the preferred approach is to sell into strength, as a post-data pullback is a likely scenario.

XAUUSD 5M SUPPLY SETUPDuring the Asia-to-London session, price was in a clear uptrend, printing higher highs. However, in the pre-New York session, momentum shifted , price failed to break the recent high and instead formed a new low, eventually breaking structure with a lower low and confirming a trend reversal. This move left a clean supply zone behind. Price later retraced to that supply zone and showed strong rejection with a clear wick reaction, signaling potential selling pressure. I waited for the candle break and entered short, placing stops above the highest wick within the zone. Targeted a 1:2 R:R. Price consolidated briefly but eventually hit target, securing profits and wrapping up the session with discipline and precision.

Will gold continue to fall on July 29: Comprehensive analysis of the gold market and trading strategy recommendations News analysis Short-term support factors Weakened US dollar: The market is in a wait-and-see mood before the Fed's interest rate meeting, and the US dollar bulls are temporarily suspended, providing support for interest-free assets such as gold. Safe-haven demand: Policy uncertainty (such as the Fed's interest rate decision) may trigger a short-term return of funds to gold. Repressive factors Trade situation easing: The US-EU tariff agreement, US-Japan and US-China trade progress boost risk appetite and weaken the safe-haven appeal of gold. Bull-bear game: Gold is currently at a balance between "macro game" and "technical adjustment", and needs to wait for the FOMC statement and economic data (GDP, PCE) to guide the direction. Technical analysis Long-term trend (monthly/weekly) Top signal appears: 3 consecutive months of long upper shadows (April-June). If the long upper shadow is closed again in July, it may confirm that the bears are dominant, and the market may drop to the 3000-2950 area in the future. Key resistance: 3400-3500 area is a historically strong pressure. Even if the Fed cuts interest rates to stimulate the rise, it may form a "lure to buy" and then reverse. Short-term key position (daily/4 hours) Bull-short watershed: 3350 is the short-term strong and weak boundary. If it breaks through, it will look up to 3370-3405; if it is under pressure, it will look down to 3330-3290. Oscillation characteristics: The recent long-short continuity is poor (such as last week's sharp rise and then a sharp drop), so be wary of repeated washes. Today's operation strategy Short-order opportunity Entry area: 3330-3340 (aggressive investors can arrange in batches), stop loss above 3350. Target position: 3290-3280, look at 3245 after breaking down. Long-order opportunity Pullback support: 3290-3280 light position to try long, stop loss below 3270, target 3310-3320 (short-term rebound). Breakthrough follow-up Break above 3350: Wait and see if it is a false breakthrough. If it stabilizes, you can buy short-term to 3370-3405 (need to cooperate with the Fed's dovish signal). Break below 3280: Be cautious when chasing shorts, avoid low-level sweeps, and pay attention to the support of 3245. Risk warning Federal Reserve decision: If the interest rate is cut but the "hawkish expectations" are released (such as the subsequent suspension of interest rate cuts), gold may rise and fall. Data impact: If GDP/PCE is stronger than expected, it may strengthen the US dollar and suppress gold prices. Summary: At present, gold is in a volatile bearish pattern. It is recommended to sell short at the rebound high as the main trading idea, and strictly stop loss. Conservatives can wait for the trend to become clear after the Fed's decision before making a layout.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Jul 28 - Aug 01]This week, OANDA:XAUUSD prices had a positive start, rising sharply from 3,345 USD/oz to 3,439 USD/oz because investors were concerned about the risk of financial market instability when US President Donald Trump continuously pressured the FED Chairman to reduce interest rates, and there were even rumors of the Fed chairman resigning. However, the upward momentum in gold prices was not maintained when the US continuously reached trade agreements with partners such as Japan, Indonesia, Philippines..., cooling down the trade war. This caused gold prices to drop sharply for three consecutive trading sessions, at one point the gold price dropped to 3,325 USD/oz and closed at 3,336 USD/oz. Trade war worries are starting to subside. Therefore, we continue to witness a shift of investment capital flows from gold to risky assets such as stocks.. Notably, this week is the fourth time gold prices broke the $3,400 threshold but did not stay above this level. Next week, in addition to the FED meeting, the market will also receive information about US non-agricultural employment (NFP) data. If this index falls stronger than expected, it will further strengthen expectations that the FED will continue to keep interest rates at the current level in upcoming meetings, causing gold prices to drop even more sharply next week. 📌In terms of technical analysis, the three crows pattern (3 long red candles) appeared on the D1 chart, showing that sellers were still in control throughout the past 3 trading sessions without much buying power. This technical pattern often suggests that gold prices may be shifting from their recent upward trajectory into a more prolonged period of decline. This technical signal also quite coincides with the context of many fundamental factors, such as geopolitical conflicts, trade wars, low physical gold demand in the summer... no longer strongly supporting gold prices as before. However, according to many experts, if the gold price drops sharply, it will be a good opportunity to buy, because the gold price is forecast to still increase strongly in the long term. On the H4 chart, gold price may continue to adjust down below the 3,285 USD/oz mark, before recovering again. Meanwhile, the 3,450 USD/oz area is still a strong resistance level for gold prices next week. Notable technical levels are listed below. Support: 3,310 – 3,300 – 3,292USD Resistance: 3,350 – 3,371 – 3,400 – 3,430USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3383 - 3381⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3387 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3316 - 3318⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3312

Gold Price Analysis July 29📉 XAUUSD ANALYSIS – IS THE CORRECTION OFFICIALLY STARTING? Gold has officially broken out of the bullish wave structure and left the rising price channel – an important technical signal that the bearish correction trend has been activated. This development opens up the possibility of retests of the broken trendline, and if that happens in today's session, this could be a good opportunity to look for SELL entry points in the new trend. 📌 Short-term trading strategy: Potential selling zone: 3343 – 3345 Downside target: 3283 first, followed by the strong liquidity zone around 3250 Confirmation of bearish force: Price continues to maintain below the 3375 area – which will act as an important resistance level. Only when the daily candle closes back above this zone will the uptrend be re-established. ✅ Reverse buying strategy if there is a strong support signal: Buy trigger zone: Observe the price reaction around the 3285 area - there needs to be a clear bearish rejection signal (pin bar/bullish engulfing candle...) Deeper buying zone: 3251 - where liquidity is concentrated and there is a possibility of bottom-fishing demand appearing.

Bottoming out? Be wary of the market.After a sharp drop to around 3300 on Monday, gold rebounded, reaching a high of around 3330 so far. From the 1-hour chart，Gold has now broken out and stabilized within the hourly chart's downward trend channel. The key upward level is currently around 3330. If it breaks above 3330 again, caution is advised; it may test 3345-3350. Conversely, if it fails to break above 3330, gold may consolidate between 3300-3330 before the non-farm payrolls release. From a short-term 15-minute perspective, the current 15-minute range has been broken out and stabilized. The current situation is unfavorable for bears. Based on the trend, a breakout above the 15-minute range would indicate a rebound. However, until 3330 holds, the 3320-3330 range is the only option. However, the current trend favors a bullish pullback, so I'm not too keen on shorting. Therefore, focus on support at 3320. If it fails to break below 3320, enter a long position near 3320. The upper target is the top of the 3345-3350 range.

Excellent Profit on my Selling ordersAs discussed throughout my Friday's session commentary: "My position: I am Highly satisfied with recent results and will take early weekend break (no need to Trade more). If however you decide to Trade today, Sell every High's on Gold / no Buying until Monday's session (my practical suggestion)." I have successfully re-Sold Gold from #3,338.80 with set of Selling orders, first batch I have closed around #3,327.80 Support for the fractal and second batch on #3,320.80 / another Support in extension / Highly satisfied with my Profits. I was aware that if Gold invalidates #3,318.80 Support / #3,310.80 extension can follow my Profit was already great to allow myself to Risk more which can backfire anytime. Technical analysis: Not a bad start of the Trading week overall as the Price-action followed yesterday's session Gravestone Doji reversal formation into series of Bearish Hourly 4 chart’s candles, Gold is settling for a new Higher Low’s within former Hourly 4 chart’s Descending Channel. Despite this, the Weekly (#1W) candle remains on a (# -1.83%) and mostly Bearish values on my instruments. Daily chart continues to pile heavy Selling pressure on Gold so Technically my Short positions will see their value. The current Price-action is exactly on the Higher Low’s Upper zone as there is significantly more potential on the downside and as a results I do expect #3,300.80 psychological benchmark test as current decline is directly correlated with uptrend extension on DX (# +1.03%) and will most likely close the week in green values. My position: I will continue re-Sells starting with #3,332.80 Resistance and my continuation will be re-Sell every High's on Gold unless Gold closes the market above #3,352.80 benchmark.

The latest trend analysis and layout of the day,flexible adoptio#XAUUSD ⚠️News focus on the Sino-US trade talks, which may affect the gold trend. Since the opening of the market today, gold has been fluctuating in a narrow range in the short term, without giving a clear trading direction🤔, and the short-term trend has not changed much.📊 🚦It remains constrained by resistance and a downward trend. In the short term, we need to pay attention to the 3300 mark below and the support of 3295-3285📈. On the upside, we should pay attention to the short-term suppression level of 3321-3333 and yesterday's high of 3345-3350.📉 In the short term, as long as it does not break through yesterday's high point, the volatile downward trend will not change. 🐂Once it breaks through, the short-term decline will stop, and the market will continue the bull rebound to test 3370~3380 or even 3400 before falling again. Therefore, short-term trading focuses on the 3300 mark below and the long trading opportunities at 3295-3285. On the upside, defend the 3345-3350 highs and establish short positions.🎯 🚀 BUY 3310-3330 🚀 TP 3321-3333 🚀 BUY 3295-3285 🚀 TP 3310-3330 🚀 SELL 3320-3330 🚀 TP 3310-3300 🚀 SELL 3345-3350 🚀 TP 3330-3285
