Gold Market Outlook: Potential Pullback in Play Following Early Early this morning, the gold market opened with a downside gap, potentially signaling the beginning of a corrective phase. With no high-impact economic events on the calendar today, price action may remain sideways or retrace toward the previous session’s low. On the 1-hour timeframe, bearish divergence has already been identified, supporting the case for a short-term pullback.
A similar consolidation phase occurred after the bullish momentum seen from March 11 to March 20. If no unexpected developments influence the market, comparable price behavior could emerge. Overall, conditions suggest a classic breakout–pullback–continuation scenario, which is consistent with typical movements following strong directional trends. A key resistance zone near the 3280 level is currently being observed as a potential target area
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 → Correction to support. What's next?FX:XAUUSD updates a new high to 3357. A correction is forming after Powell's speech. On the background of the bullish trend it is worth looking for stronger support levels
Gold halted gains at $3,358 as traders take profits and assess the implications of Trump's tariff policy.Gold's gains on the week were driven by the escalating trade war between the US and China, fears of a US recession and a flight from risk assets. However, cautious rhetoric from Fed chief Powell and positive signals from trade talks with Japan temporarily curbed further gains in gold. But the level of risks and possible escalation of the conflict is still at a high level.
It is too early to talk about the trend change. At the moment the correction to liquidity zones is forming on the background of the bullish trend. The focus is on 3296, 0.5 fibo. The price may bounce from these levels.
Resistance levels: 3344, 3457
Support levels: 3320, 3296, 3275
The correction after Powell's speech may be quickly exhausted if the politicians from China and the US fuel the conflict. But any hints of negotiations and tariff cuts could be taken very positively by the market, which could lead to a reversal of the local trend.
Regards R. Linda!
Gold in a Sideways RangeHello traders and investors!
The 3283 level, which was the sellers’ target on the daily timeframe, was confidently defended by buyers.
The attacking seller’s candle at this level showed high volume but was absorbed by buyers.
On the 1H timeframe, the market is moving sideways, with active buyer initiative.
The boundaries of the range are marked on the chart with black lines.
It is reasonable to expect the price to move toward the upper boundary of the range at 3363–3370.
This analysis is based on the Initiative Analysis concept (IA).
Wishing you profitable trades!
Gold rebounds weakly and returns to a downtrendGold trend analysis: The current gold price is in a stalemate stage of long-short game. On the one hand, the path of the Fed's easing policy has been basically clear, and the US dollar is facing correction pressure; on the other hand, the stable global risk sentiment and the strong performance of the stock market have weakened the attractiveness of gold as a safe-haven tool. The repeated signals of global trade negotiations have also made the market direction unclear. From a technical point of view, gold has received support after the correction to the 26.3% Fibonacci retracement level of 3317 this week, and has returned to above $3,300 in the short term. The upper resistance focuses on the 3380 position. Once it breaks through, it will open up space to the 3400 mark.
From the daily gold chart, yesterday's gold price fell sharply and recorded a large real body negative candlestick pattern. The previous price peaked at a relatively obvious high, suggesting that the upper pressure effect is strong. The MACD indicator double line began to turn downward, increasing the risk of further short-term correction. However, the MA5 and MA10 moving averages have not turned downward yet, so you can pay attention to the support and defense of the moving averages. From the 4-hour gold chart, the gold price has maintained a volatile decline since it came under pressure at the 3500 line. The current price has fallen back to the 3260 line, with a short-term decline of US$240. Although there has been a rebound during the day, the upward trend has been destroyed. The MACD indicator double line has issued a dead cross reversal signal, suggesting that the correction trend may have started.
After the rise, gold fell back and fell below the support levels of 3351 and 3330. Now the market rebounded near 3314, which is also in line with our analysis of the long and short trend. In the big trend, the gold rally did not cross 3380, so there is still downward demand, that is to say, it can only be regarded as a rebound during the decline. In the short term, this wave of gains stopped at 3367, and now it broke through 3351 and pierced 3316 to rebound. The main focus on the upper support conversion resistance level of 51, followed by 3342. Specifically, you can wait for 42 to be touched and use 51 as protection to go short to see the gold price break the previous rebound low of 3314 to 3300. If it breaks down effectively, you can move the protection loss down to see the position of the rebound turning point of 3283 and 3260.

Short gold directlyGold's 1-hour moving average is still in the form of a dead cross, and gold fell back again after rising high, so gold is now beginning to fluctuate. Although gold broke through the 3367 line, gold did not stand firm after the breakthrough. For the time being, gold is still fluctuating in a wide range.
Gold strategy: nail range tradesOn Thursday, the price of gold mainly fluctuated within a range. In the early trading session, it rebounded to the highest level of around 3366 at the opening, and the lowest was around 3307. In the actual trading on Thursday, we suggested shorting at the range of 3340-3345 and longing at the range of 3300-3310, and we perfectly captured the profit from the range fluctuations.
We will continue to pay attention to the short-term resistance at the range of 3340-3345. The key resistance to focus on is at the range of 3360-3366. In terms of operation, we will continue to trade within the range.
From the analysis of the 4-hour chart, the support below is around the range of 3300-3310. When it pulls back, we can go long once based on this position and then observe the rebound. The short-term resistance above is around the range of 3340-3356. The key resistance to focus on is at the range of 3360-3366. Overall, it will maintain a wide range of bull-bear fluctuations within this range. At positions in the middle of the range, it is advisable to observe more and trade less, and be cautious about chasing orders.

Gold selling plan!Gold prices have soared to a new record high of $3,500 per ounce, fueled by a weakening U.S. dollar and escalating concerns over Federal Reserve policies and trade tensions. The dollar index has fallen to 98.164, prompting investors to seek refuge in gold as a safe-haven asset. This surge reflects a strong bullish sentiment, with traders buying into the rally despite traditional overbought indicators.
- Analysts are now eyeing a potential temporary pullback for gold and profit taking.

Gold's decline under pressure is in line with expectations! Gold market trend analysis:
Gold technical analysis: This week, gold prices fluctuated, opening at 3332. So far, the high is 3500 US dollars and the low is 3260 US dollars. On Monday, it soared by 100 US dollars. On Tuesday, it continued to rise to 3500 highs in the Asian session and then fell back. On Tuesday and Wednesday, it plummeted by nearly 240 US dollars. The volatility slowed down on Thursday. The overall intraday fluctuations remained within 3367-3288. Today, the weekly line closed. The weekly line will compete for the closing of the Yin-Yang cross K line. The short-term is more intense. From the consolidation on Thursday, there is no further decline, which also leaves room and suspense for today's weekly closing. If the weekly line closes lower, it is expected to adjust further next week. Pay attention to the closing strength and weakness of the weekly K line this week.
Today's opening trend of the gold market is like yesterday. The Asian session started the upward mode, rising all the way to around 3370 US dollars. However, it encountered strong resistance here, and then turned downward and started a decline. It is worth noting that today's gold price not only failed to break through this key resistance level, but also fell below the low hit in yesterday's European and American sessions, falling to a low of US$3,287 before rebounding.
In view of the important trend of gold price breaking the key point, the market will most likely continue the short-selling idea in the future. From the current market structure, the position of $3260 has become the focus of the market. Investors need to pay close attention to whether the gold price can reach or even fall below this point. Once it effectively falls below, the short-selling trend will be further strengthened, and the market may usher in a deeper adjustment.
From the hourly level, yesterday's low was at $3306, and the rebound just now showed an obvious stop signal at this position. Based on this, the current short-term suppression level can refer to $3315, and the upper level is $3328. For short-term investors, you can consider waiting for the gold price to rebound to around $3315 to arrange a short order and continue to be bearish on the gold price. The first thing to pay attention to below is the support of the low point just touched at $3287. If this support level is lost, the next key support level will be $3260, the first low point on the previous downward journey. If $3260 is also effectively broken, the short-selling force will be further released, and the gold price may face a larger decline. On the whole, today's short-term operation strategy for gold is to short on rebound and long on pullback. The upper short-term focus is on the 3315-3320 resistance line, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3285-3260 support line. Friends must keep up with the rhythm.
Gold operation strategy reference: short gold rebound near 3310-3320, target near 3290-3285, break to see 3260 line.
Gold pullback near 3270-3260 long, target near 3290-3310, break to see 3330 line.
How to break through the pressure from above?From the analysis of the four-hour line, today's support is around 3300-3310. If it falls back during the day, you can buy more once before rebounding. The upper short-term resistance is around 3340-3356, and the focus is on the suppression of 3380-90. The overall range of long and short positions is maintained in this range. In the middle position, watch more and do less, and follow orders cautiously, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market.
Gold operation strategy: short gold rebounds at 3340, and short gold rebounds at 3360, stop loss 3367, target 3300-3310, and continue to hold if it breaks;
GOLD Goes "Buy The Dip", Following 200-hour SMA Major SupportGold prices have experienced significant volatility over the last days, with conflicting reports on the current trend. According to some sources, gold prices have increased, with spot gold reaching $3,500 per troy ounce, new all the history high on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
The $3,500 milestone has sparked increased interest from investors and market analysts, meaning that Gold spot doubled in price over the past 5 years, 3rd time in history ever.
Despite the short-term volatility, gold has shown a strong performance since the beginning of 2025, with an increase of approximately 30-35% year-to-date. Market analysts remain bullish on gold, with some forecasting prices to reach $ 4'000 per ounce in the near term.
The main 1-hour Gold spot OANDA:XAUUSD graph indicates on 200-hours SMA technical support, with further upside opportunity due to forming on the chart descending triangle (flat bottom/ descending top) breakthrow.

Local Pause in Gold’s UptrendIn recent weeks, we've seen a strong uptrend in gold, which continues without any meaningful pullbacks.
Yes, the general rule is to trade in the direction of the dominant trend — but in this case, I’m strongly hesitant to go long while price is sitting at all-time highs.
At the moment, I would consider short positions only if signs of weakness appear — specifically, if the price starts breaking below recent local lows. As for targets, they are largely abstract, since we can’t accurately predict where a correction might stop if it does occur. Still, for reference, I’d outline three potential downside levels: 3,411, 3,404, and 3,381.
This short scenario would be invalidated if price moves above 3,490. There’s no point placing stop-losses above that level — it makes more sense to position them well below.
Keep in mind: the uptrend is very strong, and price could easily continue to rally sharply — so manage your risk accordingly.
That said, I still lean toward the idea that we may see a downside move.
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).
