XAU/USD 02 April 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Since last analysis price has continued extremely bullish. This is most likely due to market jitters caused by Trump's tariff policy which is driving up the price of gold. This solidifies gold as a safe haven asset and could lead to repricing. Price has printed a bearish CHoCH indicating, but not confirming bearish pullback phase initiation. Price is now contained within an established internal structure. I will however continue to monitor price to evaluate depth of pullback. Intraday Expectation: Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,149.090. Note: With the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and persisting geopolitical uncertainties, heightened volatility in Gold is expected to continue. Traders should proceed with caution and adjust risk management strategies in this high-volatility environment. Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty. H4 Chart: M15 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Analysis and bias remains the same as yesterday's analysis dated 01 April 2025 Since last analysis price has continued extremely bullish. This is most likely due to market jitters caused by the trump tariffs. This solidifies gold as a safe haven asset and could lead to repricing. You will note price has printed a bearish CHoCH which indicates, but does not confirm, bearish pullback phase initiation. I will however continue to monitor price. Intraday Expectation: Price to trade down to either discount of 50% internal EQ or M15 demand zone before targeting weak internal high, priced at 3,149.090. Note: With the Federal Reserve maintaining a dovish stance and ongoing geopolitical tensions, volatility in Gold prices is expected to remain elevated. Traders should exercise caution, adjust risk management strategies, and stay prepared for potential price whipsaws in this high-volatility environment. M15 Chart:

Gold Hits New Highs Amid Rising UncertaintyGold ended last week at historic levels, closing near $3,085 per ounce, amid rising economic uncertainty and renewed tariff-related rhetoric from the U.S. President, particularly concerning the automotive sector. During late trading hours yesterday, fresh developments regarding trade tensions—along with references to potential geopolitical escalation—were noted. These factors appeared to contribute to a gap-up opening for gold, which reached a new all-time high of $3,125 per ounce. While future price movements remain uncertain, market participants may monitor the following levels: * The $3,125 high could serve as a key reference point; any revisit to this level may draw attention to the $3,150 area. * A moderation in momentum near $3,125 might result in a revisit to the $3,112 level. * Should prices fall below $3,110, the $3,100 area—commonly observed as a psychological benchmark—may become relevant. * A continuation below $3,100 might bring the previous high of $3,085 back into focus.

You will note a further bullish iBOS marked in red. This is due to the fact the price did not trade down to either discount of internal 50% or a demand level. Intraday Expectation: Due to the bullish nature of the market, with very minimal pullback I will continue to visually map until price pulls back enough to plot structure. Note: With the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and persisting geopolitical uncertainties, heightened volatility in Gold is expected to continue.

Mastering Market Trends: Your Guide to Clearer Trading DecisionsTrends shape every decision you make in the markets, even if you’re unaware of it. Understanding how to identify and adapt to these market phases is your foundational skill - one that separates successful traders from the rest. Today, let’s simplify and clarify the three essential types of market trends. By mastering this, you’ll approach trading decisions with more confidence and clarity. ⸻ 📈 1. Uptrend – Riding the Bull • What is it? An uptrend is like climbing stairs upward. Each step (low) is higher than the previous one, and every leap (high) sets a new peak. • What drives it? Buyers dominate, optimism rules, and demand pushes prices upward. • Trading tip: Identify support levels and look for retracements as potential entry points. Be cautious about chasing prices that have moved too far without a pullback. ⸻ 📉 2. Downtrend – Navigating the Bearish Territory • What is it? Visualize going down a staircase. Each step down (low) surpasses the previous one, and every upward bounce (high) falls short of the prior peak. • What drives it? Sellers control the market, bearish sentiment takes over, and supply outweighs demand. • Trading tip: Look for resistance areas to identify potential short entries or wait patiently for signs of a reversal if you’re bullish. ⸻ ➡️ 3. Sideways Market – The Calm Before the Storm • What is it? Imagine a tug-of-war with evenly matched teams. The price moves back and forth in a narrow range without breaking decisively higher or lower. • What drives it? Uncertainty, indecision, or equilibrium between buyers and sellers. • Trading tip: Stay patient! Either look to trade range extremes (buying support and selling resistance) or wait for clear breakout signals to catch the next big move. ⸻ 🔍 Pro Tip for Trend Analysis: • Multi-timeframe analysis is key: Always check higher timeframes (weekly, daily, or hourly) to confirm the primary trend. Don’t let short-term noise mislead your trading decisions. ⸻ 🚀 Why It Matters: Aligning your strategies with the correct market trend significantly improves your odds. It’s like sailing with the wind at your back instead of battling against it. Now, tell us in the comments: Which trend type do you find most challenging to trade? Trade smarter. Trade clearer.

GOLD - 1H UPDATE Gold dropped nicely today, in a strong impulsive move which normally indicates a reversal. We also saw price touch $3,057, but we did say price also needs to close below that level which it never done. There's 2 possible plays on its next move; 1. Price just carries on dropping lower in the next week as expected. 2. Gold starts to consolidate, creating a 'redistribution schematic' for a bigger sell off. But this could also mean Gold creating 1 more new ATH.

4.2 Analysis of intraday gold strategy4.2 Analysis of intraday gold strategy Core logic: Impact of Trump's tariff policy If the increase in tariffs exceeds expectations (such as equal +25%), it will intensify risk aversion and directly push up gold. If the magnitude is moderate, gold prices may correct in the short term, but they will still receive support in the medium and long term (policies slow down global economic recovery, manufacturing is under pressure, and safe-haven demand is solid). Technical points: Resistance level: 3140, the next target after breaking through is 3160-3180. Support level: 3100, if it fails, look down to 3080. Intraday rhythm forecast If it continues to stand above 3120 and breaks through 3140, the probability of long continuation is high. Long strategy Entry conditions: Find a position above 3125 to go long Target: 3160-3180, stop loss 3125 Short strategy Entry conditions: Find a position to short below 3150 Target: 3120-3100, stop loss 3150.

XAUUSD Analysis 1. Key Levels & Structure • Resistance Turned Support: The price has broken above a strong resistance level (marked by the thick red line). • Possible Retest Zone: A pullback (retest) to the breakout zone is indicated, which could confirm support before moving higher. • Major Support Area Below: The lower red box marks a previous demand zone, meaning price might fall back to this area if the retest fails. 2. Market Trend • Uptrend Confirmation: Price has been making higher highs and higher lows, confirming an uptrend. • Breakout & Retest Pattern: The chart suggests a possible retest of the breakout area before continuing upwards. 3. Entry & Exit Strategy • Entry Point: The ideal buy zone is near the small pink box (retest area). • Stop Loss: Below the lower red support zone, in case the retest fails and price drops. • Take Profit: The green box above shows the expected bullish target if the retest holds. 4. Confirmation Signals • Watch for Bullish Candlestick Reversal (such as a bullish engulfing or pin bar) near the retest zone before entering a trade. • Volume Increase on Breakout would confirm strength in the uptrend. Overall Outlook • Bullish Bias: If the price successfully retests and bounces, it may continue rising. • Bearish Risk: If the support fails, the price could drop back to the lower support zone.

BUY XAU/USD 1h CHART Here’s a my structured analysis and actionable plan for the gold trade based on the levels provided: --- ### *Trade Setup Summary* - *Current Position: 3035 (assumed entry for a **long position*) - *Targets*: 1. *First Target (T1)*: 3052 (+17 points from entry) 2. *Second Target (T2)*: 3062 (+27 points from entry) - *Stop Loss (SL)*: 3015 (-20 points from entry) --- ### *Key Calculations* 1. *Risk-Reward Ratio*: - *Risk*: 20 points (3035 → 3015). - *Reward*: - T1: 17 points (0.85:1 – suboptimal). - T2: 27 points (1.35:1 – acceptable if partial profits are taken at T1). 2. *Position Sizing*: - Example: If risking $200 (1% of a $20k account), each point = $10. - Position size = $200 / 20 points = *$10 per point*. --- ### *Execution Strategy* 1. *Entry*: - Already entered at *3035* (confirm if this is a market order or pending limit entry). 2. *Profit-Taking*: - *T1 (3052)*: Close 50-70% of the position to lock in gains. - *T2 (3062)*: Trail the remaining position with a tight stop (e.g., move SL to breakeven or 3040). 3. *Stop Loss Management*: - Keep SL at *3015* unless price action invalidates the setup earlier. - Adjust SL to *breakeven* (3035) if price reaches T1 to eliminate risk. --- ### *Technical Context (Assumptions)* - *Why 3052/3062?*: Likely resistance levels (previous highs, Fibonacci extensions, or trendline breaks). - *Why SL at 3015?*: Likely a swing low or support zone. Validate with recent price structure. --- ### *Market Factors to Monitor* 1. *Gold Catalysts*: - USD strength (e.g., Fed policy, CPI data). - Geopolitical risks (safe-haven demand). - Real yields (rising yields can pressure gold). 2. *Price Action*: - Rejection at T1/T2 (watch for bearish candlesticks like shooting stars). - Volume spikes near targets (indicates institutional interest). --- ### *Risk Mitigation* - *Avoid greed*: Stick to scaling out at T1/T2. - *News Events*: Be cautious around high-impact data (e.g., NFP, FOMC). - *Alternate Scenario*: If price breaks below 3015, stay out until a new setup forms. --- ### *Visual Plan* Price Action: 3035 (Entry) → 3052 (T1: take partial profit) → 3062 (T2: close remaining) SL: 3015 (unload if breached) This approach balances capital preservation and profit potential. Always validate levels with real-time charts and adjust if market structure shifts.

Gold continues to hit new highsFundamentally, although the tension between Russia and Ukraine has eased, it has not ended peacefully. There is still a certain degree of uncertainty and temporary stability. In addition, the situation in the Middle East is also intensifying. Trump also threatened to bomb Iran this week, which has increased the risk aversion of the market's geopolitical situation. In terms of US tariffs, Trump's tariff policy is still continuing. The reciprocal tariffs to be announced in the Rose Garden of the White House on April 2 will also put global economic trade at risk. Its uncertainty has made the market wait and see, and more inclined to safe-haven gold. Although Fed officials said that there is no stagflation in the economy and the expectation of interest rate cuts has weakened, as long as it does not turn to interest rate hikes, even if inflation strengthens, it will boost the commodity attributes of gold and support the strengthening of gold prices. In addition, major banks around the world have raised their gold price forecasts, and strong capital inflows from gold-backed ETFs, etc., will become the main factors supporting gold prices. On the whole, today's short-term operation of gold recommends focusing on callbacks and shortings, with the upper short-term focus on the first-line resistance of 3138-3143, and the lower short-term focus on the first-line support of 3110-3105.

Gold continues to hit new highs!Gold continued to rise from 2858 to 3086. After the surge, gold is now close to the 3100 mark. The overall bull market is still there and the general trend is still bullish. From the daily level analysis, the opening stopped falling and stabilized near 3054, and then started the upward trend, climbing to around 3087. Despite the volatile trend, the overall bullish trend remains strong. Based on this closing pattern, according to the normal trend, there is a high probability that it will hit higher points. For the upper pressure of gold, pay attention to the breakthrough of 3085-90 US dollars. This is the upper rail position of the weekly Bollinger Band. For an upward breakthrough, you can pay attention to the integer position of 3100 US dollars, which is also the upper rail position of the daily Bollinger Band. The 5-day moving average and MACD indicators get support and run upward when the golden cross turns down and approaches the dead cross. The KDJ and RSI indicators form a golden cross, indicating that after a short-term adjustment, the bulls have regained the advantage. Investment strategy: more gold at 3070, stop loss at 3060, target 3100
