XAUUSD Long 4/22/2025XAU/USD Long Setup – ABCD Correction into 15-Min Demand Zone
Looking to long gold after a textbook pullback off the recent impulse leg.
Structure:
We had a strong impulse move from $3,413 to $3,500, forming the high of the leg.
Correction:
Price has since retraced in a clean ABCD pattern, forming a 1:1 measured move — a proportional, orderly pullback.
Entry Zone:
The D-point of this correction aligns perfectly with a 15-minute demand zone, where price is now reacting.
Bias: Bullish continuation.
This structure suggests the correction is complete, and momentum is likely to resume to the upside.
Target: Looking for a full retest of the high at $3,500.
Simple and clean — structure-driven entry off confluence. Let’s see if gold wants to reload for another leg.

XAUUSD H4 Outlook + Key Levels – April 21, 2025✅ XAUUSD H4 Outlook + Key Levels – April 21, 2025
🧭 Market Context & Trend After a powerful continuation post-holiday, Gold smashed through the previous ATH and is now trading in a vertical, parabolic leg — with minimal structure below and zero resistance above.
💣 Middle East tension + macro safe-haven flows = strong fuel for this spike. But we’re now in a price zone where traps and liquidation are very likely.
📈 Trend:
• H4: Strong bullish BOSs since April 10
• No valid H4 CHoCH yet — structure remains bullish
• Price is deep inside unmitigated premium, with signs of slowing momentum intraday
🔼 Key Levels ABOVE Price
Type Zone Notes
🔻 Premium Sweep Zone 3395–3405 Key area around ATH for possible fakeout/sell trap setups — watch for M5/M15 CHoCH or BOS here
🧱 Ultimate Spike Zone 3415–3425 High-impact inefficiency from lower timeframes + round number zone – ideal for stop hunts
🚨 Extreme Spike Risk 3435–3455 No structure here — only if geopolitical tensions worsen
🔽 Key Levels BELOW Price
Type Zone Notes
🔵 Intraday Buy Zone 3333–3340 Minor FVG + OB zone – valid only for scalps or continuation if PA confirms
🟩 HTF Demand 3284–3288 Strong OB + FVG + clean H4 CHoCH base – valid for swing longs if dump occurs
⚓️ Institutional Support 3220–3235 Last clean unmitigated H4 demand + equilibrium from macro breakout zone
🧠 Trading Considerations
🔻 SELL setups only valid with clear bearish confirmation (M5/M15 CHoCH + momentum shift) inside the 3395–3405 zone. No blind shorts — the trend is still active.
🟢 BUY setups are cleaner from 3284+ or deeper — chasing now is extremely risky unless price builds structure above 3400.
📉 A fast spike followed by breakdown could signal a swing reversal from this premium zone.
🎯 H4 Bias:
Cautiously Bullish — structure is clean, but price is hyperextended. Best setups will come after liquidity is taken.
XAUUSD | Strength Intact – First Support at the Blue BoxGold continues to show impressive resilience, holding onto most of its recent gains. The first area I’m watching for buyers to step in is the blue box below current price—this zone has acted as a reliable springboard in past pullbacks.
🔵 Why This Zone Matters
• Buyers have consistently proven up here that they’re willing to defend these levels.
• When gold revisits the blue box, it often finds momentum to lift back toward new highs.
🧠 How to Trade It
Wait for Lower‑Time‑Frame Confirmation
Let price dip into the blue box, then look for a neat higher‑low on a 5‑ or 15‑minute chart. A pause there, coupled with positive CDV shifts, is your cue to join the move.
Be Ready to Adapt
If gold breaks below the blue box without giving a solid bounce, I won’t force a long. Instead I’ll step back, wait for the next known support, and reassess.
Capture the Reaction – Don’t Chase
Imagine catching that sweet spot where buyers push off the blue box—getting in early before the crowd follows. That’s how these setups pay off.
🤝 Why You’ll Want to Follow This
I share these levels because they work again and again. You’re not just copying numbers; you’re aligning yourself with a clear, tested approach that keeps you ahead of knee‑jerk moves. Trade with the confirmations, let the market show its hand, and you’ll see why staying patient pays off.
📌I keep my charts clean and simple because I believe clarity leads to better decisions.
📌My approach is built on years of experience and a solid track record. I don’t claim to know it all but I’m confident in my ability to spot high-probability setups.

Gold Trading Signals!!Looking back to last Thursday, our gold short strategy hit the mark perfectly. Prices dropped nearly $60 as expected, and we captured around $45 in profit from that move. Overall, we secured over $200 in profit space last week—an excellent performance.
Today, gold opened higher and continues to climb. Technically, bulls still have room to push higher, with 3360 as a key resistance level. However, judging by the current momentum, we may even see a test of 3400. That said, trading is about precision, not perfection. If prices approach 3380 and the upward momentum stalls, it may be time to watch for a pullback. On the other hand, if strength continues, holding some light long positions remains a relatively low-risk strategy.
Trading Strategy for Today:
📉 Sell in the 3380–3410 range
📈 Buy in the 3307–3280 range
🔁 Flexible trades between 3360–3330 / 3272–3315

GOLD: Bulls Are Winning! Long!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse GOLD together☺️
The recent price action suggests a shift in mid-term momentum. A break above the current local range around 3,430.01 will confirm the new direction upwards with the target being the next key level of 3,480.61 and a reconvened placement of a stop-loss beyond the range.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
GOLD Weekly Outlook | Bullish Bias Remains StrongGold (XAU/USD) continues its powerful rally, printing two consecutive bullish weekly candles that reflect increasing momentum and strong buying pressure. The most recent weekly candle opened at 3229.79, dipped slightly to 3193.60, then surged to a high of 3357.67, and finally closed strong at 3327.46—just a few points off the high.
The week prior also closed bullish at 3167.72, (closed well above the open of 3034.91 with significant range).
XAUUSD Weekly timeframe
✅ Weekly Bias: Strongly Bullish
We’re clearly in a higher high, higher low structure on the weekly timeframe, and there's been no sign of exhaustion yet. Last week's candle had a small bottom wick and a large body, showing that bulls dominated from open to close.
🔑 Key Zones to Watch:
Support:
🔹 3320–3211
Resistance / Targets:
🔹 3375
🔹 3400–3420 → Psychological and potential profit-taking area
📌 Trade Idea:
I’ll be watching for bullish setups on a pullback into the 3311–3320 zone. If Gold retests this area and forms bullish price action (e.g., bullish engulfing or rejection wicks on 1H or 4H), I’ll consider long entries.
🎯 TP1: 3370–3380
🎯 TP2: 3400–3420
🛑 SL: Below 3283-3298 (structure invalidation)
📣 Final Thoughts:
Gold continues to be a beast, driven by a mix of macroeconomic uncertainty, central bank accumulation, and safe haven flows. As long as the structure remains intact, dips are for buying.
Let me know in the comments—are you bullish on Gold this coming week? Or do you see a reversal coming soon?
Final upward push and then a possible correctionGold may likely try to touch the 3450,3470, and possibly 3500 marks as it is in a strong bullish trend. Price action persisted in going past the 3430 point, as it was the current all-time high, which may lead the price to further continue its upward trajectory. However, the bullish trend may correct after having risen for some days and weeks. A correction is bound to okay depending on where the price rising pressure stalls.
Gold (XAU/USD) – Bullish Momentum in Ascending ChannelGold is trading within a strong ascending channel on the 1H chart. Price has just bounced from the lower boundary and is holding above the buy entry level around $3,454. The structure suggests continuation toward the target zone at $3,570, supported by bullish price action and trend strength.
Buy Entry: $3,454
Target: $3,540
Bias: Bullish

Gold Quarterly Shift Analysis - April 2025This post is based on my learnings from #ICT Quarterly Shift Analysis teachings.
----------------------------------------------
Previous Analysis:
In September 2024, I published my quarterly shift analysis for #Gold. Back then, I estimated a shift in the market structure for Gold on or around the US Presidential Election date. It happened exactly as outlined. I estimated Gold would make a bearish move or create a large range; it indeed created a large range and has been moving within the range since then. The top of the range is 2790.10, and the bottom of the range is 2536.60.
Then I posted a new Quarterly Shift Analysis on 13 Jan 2025. I specified the time window for a shift in the market structure to happen, and price indeed delivered as outlined. I said that between the 20th and 31st of January, Gold would determine its new direction. On 30 Jan 2025, Gold created a new all-time high and closed a strong daily candle above the range described before. Gold hit and exceeded all the targets outlined in my analysis.
-------------------------------------------------------
New Quarterly Shift Analysis:
As we get closer to the end of April, Gold seems to be in a rush to make new highs and hit new targets. I believe that from the end of April to the 2nd of May 2025, Gold can hit $3411 and possibly $3498 or $3500. If it's too aggressive, $3582 can also be reached.
Between 30 April and 02 May (NFP Announcement Date), Gold should make a new quarterly shift. The possible scenarios are as follows:
1. Continuation: Gold could make a retracement and then continue the current uptrend for the next 3–4 months. The retracement could go as deep as 3180, 3068 and 2982. The uptrend targets will be the targets mentioned above plus 3618 and 3738.
2. Enter a long-term range (My guess is this is the most likely scenario): Gold could enter a new long-term range for the next 3–4 months. The bottom of the range will be 2958, and the top of the range will be the highest high created by Gold by or before 30 April to 2nd of May. If this scenario happens, it is a good chance to look for sell opportunities near or within the top 25% level of the range and look for buy opportunities near or within the bottom 25% level of the range.
3. Bearish Move: If Gold closes a strong daily candle below 2958, then for the next 3–4 months, it could go lower towards 2832, 2790, 2728, and 2662. This scenario might not be highly likely, but in the event if it happens, it's a wonderful opportunity for long-term Gold investors to buy and hold Gold.

Gold soaring on Fundamental pressure / Buy every dipTechnical analysis: Gold has gone into Asian session Buying rally continuation and having been slightly disconnected on it’s Technical background and especially correlation with DX, Bond Yields are Trading near local High’s (Bullish Gap fill) which is a mix which pushed Gold north aggressively and invalidated Selling potential prior every local High's. Sellers once again underestimated the Bullish potential of the recent Buying leg as Gold’s Price-action is isolated within healthy Ascending Channel on most of the charts. As long as aggressive Volatility lasts, and the probability of doing so is High as April is projected to be Bearish Month regarding DX, Gold will represent decent Short and Medium-term Buying option. If by some intervention DX start trending upwards (so far struggling to make Bullish comeback and finding meaningful Support or in general more stable Support zone), uptrend on Gold will be stalled but for now #3,500.80 benchmark is and should probably be next Gold’s most viable Target if DX don't deliver new full bodied positive candle. Daily chart’s curve for now holds Buying bias and usually this Technical setup points to new Bullish break-out.
My position: I have expected Gold to form a Top near #3,392.80 - #3,400.80 however since Price-action invalidated my potential reversal zone and closed the market above #3,400.80 benchmark, I continue Buying Gold all the way with #3,500.80 benchmark as new potential Ultimate Top's zone. Keep in mind that as long as DX is Trading on disappointing numbers, Medium-term Selling reversal on Gold will be postponed.
GOLD SMASHES THROUGH $3,450🚨 GOLD SMASHES THROUGH $3,450 – IS THIS THE START OF A GLOBAL FINANCIAL RESET? 🚨
🔥 Unstoppable Surge in Motion 🔥
Gold has soared past $3,450 as Asian markets opened, climbing over $100 a day!
In just two weeks, gold is up by over $500 — this isn’t just a rally, it’s a major structural breakout.
A surge in demand from Chinese funds appears to be fuelling the rise, with increasing evidence that Asia is leading a strategic shift away from fiat risk.
💷 Is the Dollar in Decline? Investors Flee the Old System 💷
The US Dollar Index (DXY) has taken a sharp downturn — confidence in USD is clearly under pressure.
Capital is flowing out of the United States, signalling a move away from the traditional financial order dominated by the dollar.
This gold rally isn't just about price — it's a global vote of no confidence in the status quo.
📉 Implications for the UK
With the pound holding relatively stable against the dollar, this gold spike presents a unique hedge opportunity.
For UK investors, rising gold prices could help offset currency risk and inflation concerns — especially in the face of persistent market uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.
📊 Technical Overview 📊
Gold is currently testing critical resistance around $3,519.
A pullback may see it retest support at $3,416 or as low as $3,210.
Fibonacci levels indicate a likely consolidation zone around $3,416.
The momentum is strong — we could be in the early phase of a global asset rotation.
📈 2-Hour Gold Chart Insight
Recent charts show a parabolic move with significant volume, primarily from Asia-based buyers.
This is not a short-term speculative move — it's likely a long-term strategic repositioning.
🌍 What Comes Next? 🌍
Should gold maintain levels above $3,450, a move towards $3,600 and beyond looks increasingly likely.
Talk of a financial "reset" is no longer just fringe theory — it’s entering the mainstream conversation.
From a UK perspective, now could be the time to:
Re-evaluate gold as a portfolio stabiliser
Reconsider exposure to US-denominated assets
Anticipate further volatility across fiat currencies
📌 Key Price Levels to Watch:
Resistance: $3,519 / $3,601
Support: $3,416 / $3,210
Upside Target: $3,600+
📈 Suggested Trading Zones:
Buy Zone
Entry: $3,424 – $3,422
Stop Loss: $3,418
Take Profit Targets: $3,428 / $3,432 / $3,436 / $3,440 / $3,450
Sell Zone
Entry: $3,604 – $3,606
Stop Loss: $3,610
Take Profit Targets: $3,600 / $3,596 / $3,592 / $3,588 / $3,584 / $3,580
💬 What’s your take? Is gold signalling the end of USD dominance?
Is the UK prepared for a global monetary shake-up? Let’s discuss. 🪙
XAUUSD: 1H Channel Up bottomed and is rebounding for the new HHGold is neutral on its 1H technical outlook (RSI = 52.820, MACD = 3.110, ADX = 23.525) and as it just crossed under its 1H MA50 and rebounded, we have the conditions for the new bullish wave of the short term Channel Up. We are aiming for another +4.45% rise (TP = 3,425).
