Excellent Intra-day ProfitsAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: "My position: I have Bought Gold throughout yesterday's session on #3,029.80 and closed on #3,040.80 and re-Sold many Top's. I am waiting currently for area to be engulfed as I will re-Buy Gold as near as #3,022.80 towards #3,037.80 Resistance in extension. Gold is delivering excellent Intra-day #8 - #10-point Profit opportunities which I am utilizing to it's maximum."
I have closed my first Buying order (#3,027.80 - #3,040.80), Sold Gold from #3,040's multiple times towards #3,032.80 and Bought Gold multiple times from #3,032.80 throughout yesterday's session / my rough Projection #35 - #45-point Profits all in total. Gold is delivering Intra-day Profit opportunities as said many times throughout my this week's remarks.
Technical analysis: Gold has invalidated the Hourly 4 chart’s Ascending Channel and altered the #4-session Buying spree on Gold. As Gold didn’t recovered Resistance belt on one try / hit after decent decline, Neutral Belt Trading continuation is on the cards, with today's #3,022.80 - #3,037 (#3,045.80) zone to Trade within which, if invalidated can continue the relief rally, otherwise Gold is timed for a downswing. Of course much is attributed to the ongoing fluid Fundamentals whose late optimistic developments (deal hopes) are now pulling the Price-action back downwards (assisting downside as well the debacle on many announcements). I have the next Support at #3,022.80 where the Price-action should meet the Higher High’s Lower zone (many similarities with May #9 fractal) and continue the decline if it gets invalidated towards #3,000.80 pressure point (benchmark). However, Daily chart’s trendline is still preserved and Gold closed the market above the Support zone for the fractal, indicating that Gold will not remain heavily pressured and many Buying opportunities will arise.
My position: I will continue Trading #3,022.80 - #3,045.80 Neutral Rectangle (now slowly becoming Bullish Megaphone pattern) for more Profits and weekend break.
Gold- I'm looking to sell for 500+ pips targetAs I explained before, when I trade TRADENATION:XAUUSD , I aim for targets of 400-500 pips , sometimes even more. That’s why I always try to determine where "the BIG move" is. In Gold’s current situation, I believe this move is down, not up (though, of course, I don’t have a crystal ball).
Let me explain...
Since the beginning of March, Gold has surged by more than 2000 pips. While we need to adjust our pip calculations given Gold’s current price levels , this is still an enormous rise. More importantly, out of these 2000 pips, 1700 were gained just since last Wednesday. This makes a correction highly likely, especially considering that if we look at the chart, we see almost no pullbacks in the past week—only a consolidation in a rectangle.
From a technical standpoint, the trend is undoubtedly up. However, even if Gold drops to 2990, the overall uptrend would still remain intact. Additionally, looking at the chart, we can spot a rising wedge—typically a reversal pattern.
My Take:
Currently, I’m out of the market, but I expect a strong correction of 500+ pips. I’m looking to sell if there’s an upward spike followed by signs of exhaustion.
Conclusion:
In my opinion, "the big move" is down, not up. I expect Gold to drop below 3000 and at least test the 2990 zone.

Trading Miscalibration: Crypto Aims Too High, FX Aims Too LowI was thinking about something fascinating—the way traders approach different markets and, in my opinion...
One of the biggest mistakes traders make is failing to calibrate their expectations based on the market they’re trading.
📌 In crypto, traders dream of 100x gains, refusing to take profits on a 30-50% move because they believe their coin is going to the moon.
📌 In Forex and gold, the same traders shrink their expectations, chasing 20-30 pip moves instead of riding 200-500 pip trends.
Ironically, both approaches lead to frustration:
🔴 Crypto traders regret not taking profits when the market crashes.
🔴 FX and gold traders regret not holding longer when the market runs without them.
If you want to be a profitable trader, you must align your strategy with the reality of the market you’re trading.
________________________________________
Crypto: Stop Aiming for the Moon—Trade Realistic Outcomes
Crypto markets are highly volatile, and while 10x or 100x gains can happen, they are rare and unpredictable. However, many traders have been conditioned to expect extreme returns, leading them to ignore solid 30-50% gains—which are already fantastic trades in any market.
🔴 The Problem: Holding Too Long & Missing Profits
Many traders refuse to take profits on a 30-50% move, convinced that a 10x ride is around the corner. But when the market reverses, those unrealized gains disappear—sometimes turning into losses.
🚨 Frustration:
"I was up 50%, but I got greedy, and now I’m back to break-even—or worse!"
✅ The Fix: Take Profits at 30-50% Instead of Waiting for 10x
✔️ Take partial profits at key resistance levels.
✔️ Use a trailing stop to lock in gains while allowing for further upside.
✔️ Understand that even professional traders take profits when they’re available—they don’t blindly hold for the next 100x.
📉 Example:
If Bitcoin jumps 30% in a month, that’s already a massive move! Instead of waiting for 200%, a disciplined trader locks in profits along the way. Similarly, if an altcoin is up 50% in two weeks, securing profits makes sense—instead of watching it all disappear in a market dump.
________________________________________
FX and Gold: Stop Thinking Small—Aim for Big Market Trends
On the other hand, when it comes to Forex and gold, many traders shrink their expectations too much. Instead of capturing multi-hundred-pip moves, they settle for 20-30 pip scalps, constantly entering and exiting the market, exposing themselves to unnecessary whipsaws.
🔴 The Problem: Exiting Too Early & Missing Big Trends
Unlike crypto, where traders hold too long, in FX and gold, they don’t hold long enough. Instead of riding a 200-500 pip move, they panic-exit for a small profit, only to watch the market continue without them.
🚨 Frustration:
"I closed at 30 pips, but the market kept running for 300 pips! I left so much money on the table!"
✅ The Fix: Target 200-500 Pip Moves Instead of Scalping
✔️ Focus on higher timeframes (4H, daily) for clearer trends.
✔️ Set realistic yet ambitious targets —200-300 pips in Forex, 300-500 pips in gold.
✔️ Use a strong risk-reward ratio (1:2, 1:3, even 1:5) instead of taking premature profits.
📉 Example:
• If EUR/USD starts a strong downtrend, why settle for 30 pips when the pair could drop 250 pips in a week?
• If gold breaks a major resistance level, a move of 300-500 pips is entirely possible—but you won’t catch it if you exit at 50 pips.
________________________________________
Why Traders Fail to Calibrate Properly
So why do traders fall into this misalignment of expectations?
1️⃣ Social Media & Hype Culture – Crypto traders are bombarded with "to the moon" narratives, making them feel like 30-50% gains are not enough. Meanwhile, in Forex, traders get stuck in a scalping mindset, thinking that small, frequent wins are the only way to trade.
2️⃣ Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) vs. Fear of Losing Profits (FOLP)
• In crypto, FOMO keeps traders holding too long. They don’t want to miss "the big one," so they refuse to take profits.
• In FX and gold, fear of losing small profits makes traders exit too soon. They don’t let trades develop because they fear a pullback.
3️⃣ Misunderstanding Market Structure – Each market moves differently. Crypto is highly volatile but doesn’t always go 10x. Forex and gold move slower but offer consistent multi-hundred-pip trends. Many traders don’t adjust their strategies accordingly.
________________________________________
The Solution: Align Your Strategy with the Market
🔥 In crypto, don’t wait for 10x— start taking profits at 30-50%.
🔥 In FX and gold, don’t settle for 30 pips—hold for 200-500 pip moves.
By making this simple mental shift, you’ll:
✅ Trade smarter, not harder
✅ Increase profitability by targeting realistic moves
✅ Reduce stress and overtrading
________________________________________
Final Thoughts: No More Frustration!
The calibration problem leads to frustration in both cases:
⚠️ Crypto traders regret not taking profits when the market crashes.
⚠️ FX and gold traders regret not holding longer when the market trends.
💡 The solution? Trade according to the market's behavior, not emotions.

GoldGold is currently correcting, forming an ABC-type correction, but at the same time, this could be seen as a re-accumulation, expecting higher prices.
In the middle of this process, a smaller range have formed. Waiting for a Shake Out and test
Overbought gold set to pause before resuming its rallyThe diamond pattern in gold has played out, but instead of a reversal pattern, it acted as a continuation pattern this time. However, it is possible that the pattern has been completed, and gold could pause its recent rally before resuming its upward bias.
Measuring from the top to the bottom of the diamond to project the move in gold from the breakout point suggests that the yellow metal, currently trading around $3,028 per ounce, has largely hit its objective.
Additionally, gold has rallied beyond its upper Bollinger Band, which is currently acting as resistance and suggesting potential overbought conditions, supported by the relative strength index surpassing 70. With both indicators in overbought territory, gold could be due for a possible pause — either by consolidating sideways for a few days around the $3,025 to $3,050 region or by pulling back to retest the breakout at $2,950.
That is not to say the rally is complete, as the breakout above $3,000 appears significant. After a brief pause, gold could continue rising towards $3,160, based on a projection of the rally that began on 18 December and lasted until 11 February.
Gold falling below $2,950 would be a bearish signal, potentially indicating that the recent breakout was false, which could result in gold pulling back to around $2,850.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Once again our chart levels are being respected and playing out, as analysed in true level to level fashion.
After completing all our Bullish targets 2993, 3011 and 3029, all confirmed with cross and lock, we then confirmed a lock above 3029 opening 3049 yesterday. We got the nice move up but just short of the full gap, which then followed with a rejection into the lower Goldturn for the bounce, giving us plenty of opportunities to milk the bounces just like we stated.
We still have the gap remaining open and we are seeing price play between two weighted levels. We will now look for either level to be tested and broken with cross and lock to confirm the next range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.

Latest gold trend analysisCan gold break through 3000? Will the market trend turn bearish? How should we view gold today?
At the end of last week, gold fell by 57 US dollars from 3057-3000. Yesterday, it fluctuated downward, and the daily line closed negatively and touched the short-term moving average. From the perspective of long correction, the adjustment has not yet been in place, and there is still a possibility of further decline. The probability of breaking the 3000 mark is very high.
However, the current market has entered a period of volatility, and the long continuity is very poor. Yesterday, it fluctuated upward during the day, and it began to fall after 10 o'clock in the evening. It closed at a low level in the early morning. The overall trend is still a volatile trend. Today, the bottom was bottomed out and rebounded this morning. The price broke through the high of 3014 in the early morning, but it is not recommended to chase blindly. Focus on the trend of the European session. If the European session goes up, it will be regarded as a shock in the evening. If the upper pressure is touched at 3035-3038, you can go short.

GOLD (XAU/USD) Trading Plan: Can Gold Surge Past $3100?🚀Published by MMFlowTrading on 20 March 2025
📊 Market Snapshot
Gold (XAU/USD) is riding a strong uptrend on the H1 chart, moving within a clear ascending channel 📈. After breaking the $3000 psychological barrier, bullish momentum remains intact 💪. However, with key resistance ahead and US economic data on the horizon, volatility could spike. Let’s break down the setup for today’s trading session! 🧠
🔍 Technical Analysis
Ascending Channel:
Gold is trading in a well-defined ascending channel (highlighted in orange on the chart) 📉📈. The price has respected both the upper and lower boundaries, confirming a solid uptrend. It’s currently testing the upper channel resistance at $3070.612 🚧
Key Resistance Levels:
Immediate resistance at $3070.612, a high-volume area (VPOC) where sellers may step in 🛑
A break above could target $3081.053, then $3097.774, with $3100 as the next psychological level 🎯
Key Support Levels:
Nearest support at $3031.774, aligning with the channel’s lower boundary and a prior VPOC 🛡️.
A deeper pullback might test $3024.254 or $3017.197, where buyers previously defended (marked by yellow circles) 📍
Additional Levels to Watch:
Resistance: $3054 - $3061 - $3070 🚧
Support: $3044 - $3038 - $3031 - $3026 🛡️
🌍 Fundamental Insights
US Dollar Dynamics:
Gold often moves inversely to the USD 💱. Today, 20 March 2025, markets are focused on the US Jobless Claims data (due at 13:30 GMT) and Fed speeches, which could sway the Dollar 📅. A weaker-than-expected US report may weaken the USD, boosting Gold towards $3100 🚀.
Safe-Haven Demand:
Geopolitical tensions (e.g., Middle East unrest, US-China trade talks) continue to support Gold as a safe-haven asset 🛡️. This underpins the bullish outlook for now.
Interest Rate Environment:
The Fed’s dovish tone in early 2025 has lowered the opportunity cost of holding Gold, supporting its upward trajectory 📉. Meanwhile, keep an eye on UK inflation data this week, as it could impact GBP and indirectly influence Gold.
📝 Trading Plan
Buy Opportunity (Buy Zone: $3032 - $3030) 🟢
Stop Loss (SL): $3026 ⛔

XAUUSD Trend Today - Continues to Fall🔔🔔🔔 Golds news:
👉The price of gold (XAU/USD) continues to decline, trading near $3,025 during the early Asian session on Monday. The metal pulls back after reaching a record high on Thursday, driven by optimism over a potential Ukraine peace agreement. However, expectations of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and persistent economic uncertainty could further limit losses for gold.
👉On Sunday, officials from Ukraine and the United States met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to renew efforts to end the three-year conflict, as President Donald Trump advocates for a ceasefire. Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov described the weekend discussions as “productive and focused.”
👉Meanwhile, US and Russian representatives are set to hold separate negotiations on Monday. Hopes for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine reduce demand for gold, which is traditionally considered a safe-haven asset.
Personal analysis:
👉In the long term, the uptrend will still continue. However, in the short term, the sellers are in control as the buyers take profits as the gold price continues to rise and wait for a strong enough momentum to push the market
👉Technically, the daily RSI is falling and there is no sign of a reversal, further consolidating the strong sellers

1000 Pip move down imminent on GOLD?Golds rise this year has been extraordinary, moving around 4000 pips since the start of the year, and most recently powering straight through the previous ATH. I remain bullish on gold for the long term, but this move should so some correction.
I am currently short aiming for the 2900 level - this level although over 1000 pip move, represents less than a .382 retracement of this years move, and also hits a nice .618 retracement from the breakout of the previous ATH.
Invalid if we close a new high.
XAUUSD Weekly analysisWe can see how gold reached a high probability reaction point at 3,000, where we had the past ATH, now we see how gold is rising after that rebound, we have some levels marked in the area of 3028 and 3035 approx, where we are waiting to see the price action when reaching these areas, if the price decides to break up we could be waiting for a new ATH during the next week, at a target of approximately 3,100, otherwise we could see a small reversal to the levels of 2893, to 2950.

Gold: Safe - Haven Drop, Short - Term BetsGold remains buoyed by safe - haven sentiment. Nevertheless, subsequent to a substantial rally to a high, gold underwent a swift retracement. In truth, the support for gold emanating from safe - haven requirements is a rather commonplace occurrence. Given that the bullish impetus in the gold market failed to persist, this implies that the upside potential for gold bulls is circumscribed. During the US trading session in the gold market, gold initially rallied and then declined. We directly initiated a short position on gold at $3032. As projected, gold declined, enabling us to realize profits. Should gold rebound to an elevated level during the US trading session, a short position should still be contemplated.

XAU/USD: Next Week's Short - Selling Tactic on BounceThe closing price of XAU/USD on Friday was 3,022.790.
Indeed, gold prices have broken through that key $3,000 support level, just as we anticipated.
Although the $3,000 support level was quite strong—it's always been a tough nut to crack—it still failed to hold firm.
Given the current market conditions, gold prices are set to continue their downward trend next week, no doubt about it.
Now, for the trading strategy: when the price rebounds to the $3,030 - $3,040 range, that's when you might want to consider short - selling.
Make sure to set the stop - loss slightly above $3,057 and the target price at $2,980. Simple as that, isn't it?

### Technical Analysis of Gold (XAU/USD) – 1-Hour Chart### Technical Analysis of Gold (XAU/USD) – 1-Hour Chart
#### Current Market Overview:
The 1-hour chart for Gold (XAU/USD) reveals a dynamic market structure with clear support and resistance levels. Gold is currently in an upward trend, showing potential swing trade opportunities based on recent price action and key technical levels.
#### Key Levels to Watch:
- **Support Levels:**
- **Gold Buy Zone: 2974/2989**: This range is identified as a potential entry point for long positions. A bounce here would provide a good risk-to-reward scenario.
- **Invalidation Level: 2950**: A close below this level would invalidate the bullish outlook and suggest a shift in momentum.
- **Resistance Levels:**
- **1st Target: 3005**: Key resistance where profit-taking may occur. A breakout above this level could elevate price action toward higher targets.
- **2nd Target: 3020**: Further resistance that should be monitored for potential reversals or continued momentum.
- **3rd Target: 3035**: Another potential profit-taking zone as strength continues beyond 3020.
- **4th Target: 3055**: The upper end of the target range for traders aiming for extended bullish positions.
#### Technical Indicators:
- **Moving Averages**:
- The chart likely shows an upward sloping trend with moving averages indicating that the price is holding above key support levels.
- Consider observing the 50-period and 200-period MA for additional confirmation on trend direction and potential support.
- **RSI (Relative Strength Index)**:
- The RSI is shown oscillating near neutral levels (around 50), suggesting neither overbought nor oversold conditions. This indicates potential for price movement either way. Traders should watch for divergence or convergence signals for entry and exit strategies.
#### Price Action Analysis:
- The price has attempted multiple tests of the **2988** level with rejections, indicating that this level is pivotal in determining the next move. A sustained move above it could indicate accumulative buying pressure.
- The presence of higher lows in the price suggests bullish sentiment is still intact.
### Trading Strategy:
1. **Bullish Scenario**:
- **Entry**: Consider long positions at the **2974/2989 area** if the price shows signs of reversing (e.g., bullish candlestick patterns).
- **Targets**: Set take-profit orders at key resistance levels, primarily targeting **3005** first, then **3020**, and subsequently higher levels.
- **Stop Loss**: Place a stop loss below **2950** to protect against invalid trades.
2. **Bearish Outlook**:
- Should the price close below **2950**, reevaluate the positions. Potential shorts could be considered targeting support levels below, starting from **2922** down to **2909**.
### Conclusion:
The Gold market is currently poised for potential bullish opportunities with a clearly defined strategy based on key support and resistance levels. Monitoring price action near the **2974/2989** zone will be crucial, along with keeping an eye on the invalidation point of **2950**. Stay vigilant for breakout confirmations above **3005** for further upside momentum in this trending market. Happy trading!
