Geopolitical Cool-Down Sinks Gold, Trade AlertOn Wednesday, US President Donald Trump expressed disappointment over the Federal Reserve's sluggishness in cutting interest rates, but he made it clear that he would not fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, showing a more conciliatory attitude compared to before. Affected by this, coupled with the market's optimistic expectations of the easing of trade tensions, the US dollar strengthened, and gold was sold off. Spot gold plunged by nearly $120 at one point on Wednesday, tumbling sharply from the all-time high of $3,500 per ounce to $3,260, creating a rare volatility in recent years.
Currently, gold is fluctuating within the range of around $3,280-$3,290 and is still in a downward channel. Technically, the key support below lies in the area of around $3,260-$3,245. If this level is broken, the price may further decline towards the $3,200 mark.

#XAUUSD:From Our Last Analysis 534+ Pips What Next?We published our analysis on gold on April 24th, highlighting the bullish market presence. The price indeed reversed from our zone, enabling us to make a significant move of over 234 pips. We anticipate a continuous price increase from our entry zone, potentially reaching 3500$. There are several reasons behind this belief. Firstly, the escalating war-like tension between India and Pakistan could lead to a surge in gold prices, potentially surpassing the previous high. Secondly, the heightened tensions among global investors are expected to result in an extreme bullish movement in gold prices.
Given the volatility of gold, we recommend trading cautiously and taking extra precautions while trading gold.
Wishing you good luck and safe trading!

Gold and Chart Patterns I’m dropping this XAU/USD M30 insight because my system’s a damn executioner, and you need to see how I hunt the market. This chart is a textbook of bearish patterns—first a bearish three drives showing smart money exhausting buyers with three weakening upward pushes, then a head and shoulders with the neckline break confirming the reversal, and now a bearish shark forming to seal the deal, all playing out within my descending trendlines. Smart money’s been in control from the start, distributing at the peaks, grabbing liquidity, and dumping price to hunt stop-losses below key levels. Supply and demand zones are my edge—supply at the right shoulder of the head and shoulders where sellers stacked orders before the break, demand near the lower trendline where buyers might step in, my target for this bearish move. My checklist operations are a predator’s playbook. I start with harmonic patterns, hunting XABCD structures like the bearish shark I’m seeing now, signaling smart money’s reversal zones. I confirm market structure, looking for breaks of structure to show trend shifts—here, the neckline break confirms bearish continuation. I identify order blocks, those consolidation zones where smart money stacks orders, like the bearish order block at the right shoulder where sellers distributed. Volume profile is key—I check for high volume nodes where price stalls, like the neckline where sellers defended, and low volume nodes that act as magnets, like gaps below the neckline. Top-down analysis keeps me sharp—four-hour timeframe sets the bearish trend, one-hour confirms the break, thirty-minute narrows the setup, fifteen-minute is my strike zone, waiting for a neckline retest. I use Heikin Ashi for confirmation—red candles mean sell, waiting for red on the fifteen-minute at the retest. Fibonacci levels mark my targets—I focus on key extensions to set exits, like targeting the lower trendline of the channel. Gann theory adds confluence—I look for angles or retracements to align with my setups, like a Gann angle pointing to the lower trendline. MACD and RSI measure momentum—MACD’s bearish crossover and negative histogram confirm the downtrend, RSI below fifty with bearish divergence at the right shoulder seals it. Risk management is my law—I risk small to win big, stop-loss above the right shoulder, take-profit at the lower trendline, aiming for a high reward ratio. I monitor news and liquidity traps—fake spikes above the neckline are smart money’s tricks, so I stay sharp. I wait for confirmation—every piece aligns, or I walk, then I document to keep my edge razor-sharp. I’m rating this system a ten out of ten—harmonic patterns, Smart Money Concepts, volume profile, top-down analysis, and now MACD and RSI for momentum make it untouchable. I’ve fine-tuned this over six months, backtesting until it’s a weapon. I need two of you to join me at Academia—let’s hunt together.DYOR
Shieldsmine Diaries
Shieldsmine Vlog Alright, mate, let’s break down this EUR/USD H4 setup across these platforms—TradingView and MetaTrader—like we’re sittin’ at the desk, charts up, coffee in hand. We’ve got a solid uptrend from early April, but the pair’s hittin’ a wall around that 1.14200–1.14290 zone as of April 16-18, 2025. Let’s dive in.
Price action’s been clean on both charts. We’ve rallied hard from 1.09480 on April 4, smashed through resistance levels like a hot knife through butter, and now we’re at 1.14039 on TradingView with a tight 0.03 pip spread—sell at 1.14039, buy at 1.14172. MetaTrader’s showin’ a similar story, sell at 1.14039, buy at 1.14204. That 1.14200 area’s a proper battleground—price peaked at 1.14216 on TradingView and 1.14204 on MetaTrader, but the bulls couldn’t hold it. Now we’re consolidating with those tight, choppy candles. Classic indecision.
Lookin’ at the levels, that 1.14290 on TradingView and 1.14204 on MetaTrader is the key resistance to watch. MetaTrader’s got some extra juice with those 30-minute order blocks marked—there’s a supply zone right at that 1.14204 high, where sellers are likely steppin’ in, and a demand zone down at 1.13800–1.13900 where buyers might pile in if we drop. They’re also flaggin’ a 65% probability on a move—could be a breakout or a reversal, but the market’s coiled up tight for somethin’ big.
Trend-wise, we’re still bullish overall, but this consolidation’s got me on edge. If we break above 1.14290, I’m lookin’ at 1.14660 as the next target—plenty of room to run. But if we get rejected here, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a pullback to that 1.13800 demand zone, maybe even 1.13550 if things get ugly. MetaTrader’s showin’ a small open position on EUR/USD, up 0.175 pips—nice little profit, but it’s a tiny lot size, so not much conviction there yet.
Bottom line: we’re at a proper inflection point. I’d be watchin’ for a clean break above 1.14290 with volume to confirm the bulls are back in control, or a hard rejection with a bearish candle to signal a drop. Either way, keep your stops tight—this market’s about to make a move, and I don’t wanna be caught on the wrong side of it. What’s your next play?
Gold market trend analysisTechnically, the gold 1-hour moving average dead cross pattern has not been reversed, and the bearish momentum has not been exhausted; but the 4-hour KDJ indicator has shown signs of oversold repair, which may trigger a technical rebound. The upper resistance is currently at 3365-3370, and the lower support is at 3306-3300. In terms of operation, it is recommended to rebound high and go long as the main, and pullback as the auxiliary.
Gold Trades I'm Taking Today 2
Last week was a success. This week, this is my vibe (don't take my trades without proper research) I'm still going for buys at least till a much stronger resistance. Gold has been breaking levels and i don't think she's stopping anytime soon.
In situations like this, we BUY!!!!..
Let me know what you think.
Gold price has stopped falling, can we buy higher?The short-term 4-hour middle track 3380 has been lost and has become a key counter-pressure point. As long as it does not stand above it again, it will maintain a downward correction. After breaking 3292 below, it will be the 66-day moving average of 3260. The 1-hour K-line is under pressure, After last night's consolidation and pull-up,plus MACD has a golden cross below the zero axis. This wave of $200 rapid decline has almost corrected most of it. If it continues downward for another wave, or with the help of bottom divergence, it will slowly brew a short-term bottom; today's gold rebound focuses on the resistance below 3340, below the extreme middle track 3356, it is still bearish if it cannot withstand the pressure, and it will start to consider bottom-fishing if the strong support 3260 or 3245 is stable;
XAU/USD: All-Time High Reached with Pullback Opportunity AheadThe XAU/USD market has set a new all-time high, continuing its strong bullish trajectory toward the 3300 resistance zone. This level may act as a potential reversal point, offering a chance to enter on a pullback.
A range zone has formed around the 3225 level, which, along with the nearby upward trendline, could serve as a key support area for identifying buy signals. With high-impact news scheduled for today, volatility is expected. Should a retracement occur, the support zone around 3225 may provide a launchpad for the next move toward the resistance zone at 3390
Growth potential up to 3400Description of the weekly analysis:
After a good week of trading, we move on to next week.Given the bullish market sentiment, it is not unreasonable to expect the price to rise to 3,400.
I expect the price to be ready to rise to 3400 after a correction towards 3293 or eventually the 3230-3246 support zone.
Note and reminder:
Of course, this analysis is valid as long as the price does not close below 3200.
If the analysis fails, it will be updated immediately and I will share it.
Possible positions this week:
A:Suitable prices for BUY positions
1)3300~3290
2)3230~3246
B:Suitable prices for SELL positions
1)3398~3408
This is just an analysis and everyone is responsible for their own work.
Hoping for a good and profitable week.

Gold bull cycle continues, 3400✍️ NOVA hello everyone, Let's comment on gold price next week from 04/21/2025 - 04/25/2025
🔥 World situation:
Gold prices are poised to close the week on a strong footing, gaining over 2.79% as the precious metal surged nearly $90 amid continued US Dollar (USD) weakness driven by lingering global trade uncertainties. At the time of writing, XAU/USD is trading around $3,326.
Despite touching a fresh all-time high of $3,358, the rally has cooled slightly as traders lock in profits ahead of the extended Easter weekend, with both European and US markets closed. Meanwhile, real yields have ticked higher, offering a modest headwind. On the policy front, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly noted that the US economy remains resilient, though some segments are showing signs of slowing. She emphasized that monetary policy is still restrictive enough to keep inflation in check, while also suggesting that neutral rates could be on the rise.
🔥 Identify:
Gold price is still in a big uptrend, short-term corrections only make gold price accumulate more and continue to reach new ATH, tariffs are tense, gold price continues to increase strongly: 3382, 3400
🔥 Technically:
Based on the resistance and support areas of the gold price according to the H4 frame, NOVA identifies the important key areas as follows:
Resistance: $3357, $3382, $3400
Support : $3284, $3236, $3155
🔥 NOTE:
Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well
- take the number of lots that match your capital
- Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account
- Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account
- The winner is the one who sticks with the market the longest

Potential Reversal in Gold After Completing Widening Formationhello guys!
The 4H Gold/USD chart exhibits a classic Broadening Formation (also known as a Megaphone Pattern), marked by higher highs and lower lows, reflecting increased volatility and market indecision. This pattern is identified with three key swing points on both the upper and lower trendlines:
Point 1 and Point 2 formed the initial boundaries of the pattern.
Point 3, recently touched, completes the structure by testing the upper boundary of the formation near $3,238, suggesting a potential bull trap, as illustrated in the schematic overlay.
just look at:
The price has sharply rallied to the top of the widening pattern, aligning with the third high, often a strong signal for reversal in this setup.
A rejection from this level is anticipated, supported by the bearish projection arrows targeting multiple demand zones.
Bearish Target Zones:
$3,180 – $3,160: Previous consolidation zone.
$3,140 – $3,120: Mid-pattern volume area with past price sensitivity.
$3,060 – $3,040: Major support zone with a strong volume node and previous reaction area.
Volume Profile Insight:
The volume profile shows significant activity in the $3,040 zone, reinforcing it as a major demand area where buyers might step in again.
__________________________
Summary:
This setup suggests a potential bearish correction after a strong upward move. If price action respects the pattern, traders may look for short opportunities from current levels with the outlined targets. Watch for confirmations such as reversal candlesticks or breakdowns of minor support levels.
Gold (XAU/USD) Multi-Timeframe Technical Outlook
Multi-Timeframe Analysis – Gold (XAU/USD)
⸻
1H Chart – Bullish Continuation Potential
On the 1-hour chart, Gold is trading within a defined channel structure after reaching an all-time high (ATH) of 3357.775. Following this peak, the price made a shallow retracement between the 38.2% and 50% Fibonacci levels, indicating underlying bullish strength.
Currently, the price has formed a Descending Broadening Wedge — a pattern typically associated with bullish continuation. A successful breakout above the wedge’s upper boundary and the key resistance levels at 3334, 3346, and 3357 could pave the way for a rally toward the 3400 level.
Daily Chart – Bearish Reversal Structure
In contrast, the daily chart reveals an Ascending Broadening Wedge — a known bearish reversal pattern. The price is trading near the upper region of this structure, and the measured move projection of the pattern points toward a potential decline to the 2560 area, should the bearish scenario play out.
⸻
Final Note
While short-term charts signal bullish opportunities, the daily chart reminds us of the broader reversal risks. As always, strict risk management is essential to protect capital and lock in profits in both trending and volatile conditions.

Happy Trading,

DeGRAM | GOLD Slows Under Resistance📊 Technical Analysis
GOLD failed to break out above the resistance line near $3 400 and is retreating from overbought levels; low volatility signals weakening momentum and a likely pullback toward support around $3 325.
💡 Fundamental Analysis
Short-term macro drivers also tilt bearish. Rising U.S. Treasury yields are making gold less attractive, while hawkish Fed signals fueled by strong U.S. data have strengthened the dollar.
✨ Summary
Technical and fundamental factors point to a short-term bearish correction in XAUUSD.
