Hellena | GOLD (4H): SHORT to 38.2%-50% Fibo lvl 3228.Colleagues, last week we got a stoploss, but I still believe that we should expect a correction in wave “2”. We will try to catch this movement this week.
I believe that the price will correct to the area of Fibonacci 38.2% - 50% levels (3228.41).
Perhaps the price will slightly renew the maximum of wave “1”, reaching the level of 3438. In this case I recommend to work with pending limit sell orders.
And some data:
The prevalence of bulls according to CME reports additionally increased by 13%.
The 23% increase in market volume, meanwhile, indicates a likely strong momentum pattern during the trading week.
Despite the 13% increase in buyers, selling patterns towards the balance level of the week (3200.00) are recommended for the current trading week.
Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!
#XAUUSD :Is it a Correction Or a start of Major Bearish Trend? Gold has plummeted from 3550 to 3270, and it’s been falling steadily. We firmly believe that the price could reverse from either of our entry points, but given its significant drop, it raises concerns among traders. If the trend has shifted to bearish, it will likely continue to target buyers’ stop losses. In these market conditions, we strongly advise trading with utmost caution and prioritising risk management.
Good luck and trade safely.

Gold Drops $200 in Hours – Panic or Opportunity? 📌 Gold Plunges $200 – Volatility Surges Amid Fed Signals and Market Panic 🔥📉
📰 What Just Happened?
Yesterday, gold (XAU/USD) experienced one of its sharpest intraday drops in recent months, tumbling from the all-time high around $3,500 to as low as $3,318, losing nearly $200 in just a few hours.
This marked a significant correction following an extended bullish trend.
🔍 Key Drivers Behind the Crash
Fed-related commentary spurred aggressive profit-taking across the market.
The USD staged a technical rebound, exerting downward pressure on gold.
Rapid sentiment shifts triggered panic selling and liquidation flows.
🧭 What’s Next for Gold?
The $3,300–3,320 zone is now a crucial support — if this level holds, a technical recovery could unfold.
However, a break below $3,300 may expose gold to deeper downside targets near $3,250.
⚠️ Strategic Considerations
This is a high-volatility environment — flexibility and strict risk management are key.
Current sentiment is fragile. Unpredictable political headlines and mixed Fed signals are adding to the uncertainty.
In the latest development, Trump clarified he has no intention to fire the Fed Chair and hinted that China’s tariffs could be eased slightly — but not eliminated. These mixed messages continue to create sharp swings in price.
📊 Trade Plan
🔻 SELL ZONE #1:
Entry: 3,378 – 3,380
Stop Loss: 3,384
Take Profits: 3,374 → 3,370 → 3,366 → 3,362 → 3,358 → 3,350
🔻 SELL ZONE #2:
Entry: 3,408 – 3,410
Stop Loss: 3,414
Take Profits: 3,404 → 3,400 → 3,396 → 3,392 → 3,386 → 3,380
🟢 BUY ZONE:
Entry: 3,292 – 3,290
Stop Loss: 3,286
Take Profits: 3,296 → 3,300 → 3,304 → 3,308 → 3,312 → 3,316 → 3,320
The priority remains to sell into rallies near resistance while the downtrend unfolds. All trades should be protected with tight stop-losses, given the current unpredictability.
🧠 Key Takeaways
This is not a market for guessing — wait for price confirmation at key zones.
Focus on reaction zones, not forecasts.
Stay light, stay nimble, and manage risk carefully — news-driven volatility is at its peak.

Dealing with Stress in Trading: The Silent Killer of PerformanceTrading is hard. But not just technically or economically — emotionally, it's one of the most demanding things you can do.
Charts, indicators, news, setups — they’re all part of the job. But behind every click, there’s a person reacting to fear, frustration, regret, and pressure.
And that’s where stress creeps in.
In this article, we’ll explore:
• Why trading stress hits harder than most think
• How it manifests (and sabotages) your decisions
• Practical ways to reduce and manage stress
• The mindset shift that changes everything
________________________________________
🔥 Why Trading Is Uniquely Stressful
Most jobs reward consistency. Trading, ironically, punishes it at times.
You can do everything “right” and still lose money. You can follow your plan, manage risk, and still watch a red candle wipe your equity.
The problem?
Our brains aren’t built for that kind of randomness. We crave cause-effect logic — but markets aren't and most of all don’t care.
This disconnect creates cognitive dissonance . The result? Stress builds up.
________________________________________
🧠 How Stress Sabotages Traders (Without Them Realizing)
Stress doesn’t always show up as panic. More often, it shows up as:
• Overtrading (trying to ‘fix’ bad trades emotionally)
• Freezing (not taking good setups out of fear)
• Revenge trading (turning a bad trade into a disaster)
• Inconsistency (changing strategy mid-week, mid-trade, mid-breath)
• Physical symptoms (fatigue, headaches, insomnia — yes, it's real)
Left unchecked, stress creates a loop:
Stress → bad trades → more stress → worse decisions.
________________________________________
🛠️ Practical Techniques to Manage Trading Stress
Here’s what actually helps — not the Instagram-fluff, but what real traders use:
1. Create Pre-Defined Trade Plans
Stress loves uncertainty. But when you enter a trade with exact entries, stops, and targets, you leave less room for panic-based decisions.
✅ Pro tip: Write your trade plan down. Don’t trade from memory.
________________________________________
2. Use the 3-Strike Rule
If you take 3 consecutive losses or bad trades — stop for the day, or if you are a swing trader, stop for the week, come back on Monday. It’s not about revenge. It’s about protecting mental capital.
“When in doubt, protect your focus. You can’t trade well without it.”
________________________________________
3. Build a Trading Routine (Like a Ritual)
Start each session the same way. Same coffee, same chart review, same breathing.
Why? It anchors your brain. Predictability in your environment reduces the emotional chaos inside your head.
________________________________________
4. Step Away from the Screen (Yes, Physically)
After a tough trade, move. Walk. Stretch. Get outside. Go to gym, ride your bike(these I do most often). Reset your nervous system. Trading is mental, but stress is physical too.
You’re not a robot. Don't act like one.
________________________________________
5. Track Your Emotional State (Not Just P&L)
Keep a trading journal where you note how you felt before/after trades.
You’ll find patterns like:
• “I lose when I’m bored and looking for action”
• “My best trades happen when I feel calm and centered”
Awareness = control.
________________________________________
🧭 The Mindset Shift: From Outcome to Process
This might be the most important thing I’ll ever tell you:
Detach from results. Fall in love with process.
Your goal isn’t to win every trade.
Your goal is to execute your plan with discipline.
Every time you do that — even on a losing trade — you’re winning the real game.
That’s how stress stops being the master and becomes the servant.
________________________________________
🧘 Final Thought: Stress Will Never Go Away — and That’s Okay
You’ll always feel something. But the goal isn’t to be emotionless — it’s to be aware and in control.
Trading is like martial arts: the best fighters aren’t calm because they feel nothing. They’re calm because they’ve trained their response.
So train yours.
________________________________________
💬 Remember, consistency in mindset creates consistency in results.
XAUUSDHello Traders! 👋
What are your thoughts on GOLD?
Gold has successfully broken above its resistance zone and the top of the ascending channel, indicating strong bullish momentum.
Two support zones have been identified below the current price. A correction toward one of these levels is expected before the next bullish leg begins.
After a pullback to one of these support areas, we expect gold to resume its uptrend and push toward higher levels and new highs.
Among the two, the second support zone is considered a safer entry point for long positions, as it may offer stronger support and a better risk-reward setup.

Gold at PRZ Again – Correction to $3,227 Possible!!!Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) started to rise as I expected in the previous idea and created a new All-Time High(ATH) as usual . How long do you think the upward trend of Gold will continue!? ( Please give your reasons for the rise, I would appreciate it. )
Gold is trading near the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) and trying to break the Uptrend line .
In terms of Elliott Wave theory , it appears that Gold has completed another 5-wave impulsive .
Signs of the completion of the main wave 5 can be the presence of Regular Divergence(RD-) between Consecutive Peaks, and the break of the Uptrend line (validly) .
I expect Gold to fall to $3,227 in the coming hours.
Note: If Gold can move above $3,420, we can expect more pumps.

Fading Gold’s All‑Time HighGold has just posted a euphoric all‑time high at 3 499.6 after an almost parabolic climb along a single ascending trend‑line, and the wick that pierced that level sits in a thin, low‑volume pocket on the profile—classic bull‑trap territory—so once we see a four‑hour close beneath the trend‑line we expect momentum algos to flip, dragging price swiftly toward the 3 160‑3 130 demand block that marks the prior high‑volume consolidation; the short thesis is to scale into shorts between 3 480‑3 510, place invalidation above 3 525, and ride a potential vacuum move to that target zone (with room to extend toward 3 100) as crowded longs unwind, especially if a hawkish Fed headline or uptick in real yields provides the spark.
Lingrid | GOLD correction Phase Following RESISTANCE RejectionOANDA:XAUUSD market bounced off the resistance and dropped, creating approximately a -6% correction after the previous bullish momentum. Price action formed a gap which was subsequently filled. Notably, this corrective move mirrors a similar pattern observed at the beginning of this month when the market also corrected by -6.6%. Currently, the price is testing the previous week's high area, which may establish itself as a support zone. Following such a rapid decline, price typically enters a consolidation phase - we might see sideways movement around the 3300 level for some time. However, if we get a rejection candles forming at current levels, I expect the price to move higher and retest the recent resistance zone. My goal is resistance zone around 3500
Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩💻
XAUUSD trade idea for upcoming week Current Situation:
: Price is around 3326
: There’s a strong previous uptrend, and now price is recovering from a recent dip.
Trade Setup Explanation :
Bullish Phase (Short-Term Buy Idea)
: First Buy Zone: Current price up to the all-time high zone around 3355.
: The chart anticipates a short-term bullish push, likely to retest the ATH area.
: This zone is considered a liquidity grab or “trap” area, where price could reject and reverse.
Main Sell Zone:
> Sell Zone Identified: 3355–3360 area.
> This is a key resistance zone with:
> Previous multiple rejections (marked by red arrows).
> It's also where sellers are expected to be strong.
Sell Target Path:
1: TP1 = 3305 – Minor support, first logical reaction zone.
2: Price is then expected to range around 3305–3295 (highlighted in purple).
3: After consolidation, the expectation is a bearish continuation.
>>Final Target = 3255 – A major support zone and final destination of the swing short.<<
Please be carefulFrom a purely technical point of view, the bulls are in control of the overall situation under the support of the big positive line on the weekly chart. The Asian session has maintained the rule of opening up for more than a month. On the market, the spot gold US session low point 3220-15 area long and short strength dividing line, strong above, weak below; Asian session retracement low 3185-90 long and short watershed, above the long, short or even plummet rapidly. From the upside, it is still a blind spot, pay attention to the 3245 area, then 3265-60 and 3300 mark.There are many news over the weekend, and the opening of next week is crucial. A high opening, a low opening, or a flat opening indicates different risk sentiments. In terms of operation, either watch more and do less, or don't be afraid to follow the market sentiment; however, while maintaining a bullish bullish position in the short term, beware of the sudden change in the tariffs of the country causing a rapid collapse and plunge in the gold market; after a rapid rise in the short term, the fall will be more fierce, and a collapse or rise is a matter of news!
Gold has the strength to keep rising At the end of the week gold confirmed the formation of the trading range, support 3286, resistance 3356. I consider the continuation of realization of potential of false breakout of support as a positive scenario. If gold holds above 3313, the market may continue buying, which will lead to a rise to ATH
Scenario: the price is in a local descending channel, but in a global bullish trend. A bounce to 3313 from the channel resistance may occur, followed by a continuation growth to 3342 or to 3356.
DeGRAM | GOLD Anchored Above the Channel📊 Technical Analysis
GOLD trades within an ascending channel, holding above $3 285 support.
A breakout from a triangle confirms bullish momentum. Key targets are $3 360 - $3 380.
💡 Fundamental Analysis
Demand is rising amid safe-haven flows, Chinese insurer interest, and central bank buying. A weaker USD and US - China tensions support gold.
✨ Summary
Technical breakout and strong fundamentals favor XAUUSD growth. Holding above $3 285 keeps the path open to $3 360.

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
another ATH, another monster move from Gold! It hit our long target, but no confirmed reversal from the region. Instead, we activated higher which we took caution on but managed to get in on the short just as we wanted using the red box indi's from better price regions. Not a bad day but we could have done with the levels playing ball.
Now we have completed the move that we initially wanted and got a bounce which turns resistance into the 3440 level on the reversal! That's the level that needs to be watched for the break above forcefully to then take out another new ATH and then give another potential entry.
To much going on to keep track off, so level to level unless we get the extreme levels.
As always, trade safe.

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
Another blinder of a day on Gold! Although we didn't get the entry again that we wanted from higher up, we continued to hold with the move downside completing Excalibur and using the Indi levels and boxes to guide us.
Now we're at crucial support here and just below 3255 which if attacked and bounced, we should see a retracement up into the 3295 and 3310 regions initially. Too low to short, only support levels for tests here.
As always, trade safe.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
A PITASTIC day on the charts with our targets getting smashed, confirmed with ema5 cross and lock to give us plenty of time to get in for the action.
After support and bounce from 3201 Goldturn into 3230 we stated that we will now look for a break and lock above 3230 for a continuation into the Bullish targets above. We got the lock opening the levels above hitting our Bullish target at 3261, followed with a further cross and lock opening 3292, which was hit perfectly and then our final lock for today above 3292 opened 3324 now complete - what a day!!!!!
We will now look for a lock above 3324 for a continuation into our final target 3352 or a rejection here will see price test the Goldturn below for support and bounce.
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.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

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

Is the UK prepared for a global monetary shake-up? Let’s discuss. 🪙
3382 , next ATH number today, GOLD⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold price (XAU/USD) enters a phase of consolidation on Thursday, trading within a narrow range near its all-time high reached during the Asian session, as investors digest conflicting market signals. Stronger-than-expected US Retail Sales figures and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell have lent support to the US Dollar (USD), curbing some of gold’s upside momentum. Meanwhile, the upbeat sentiment across equity markets and mildly overbought technical conditions are prompting traders to remain cautious, limiting fresh buying interest in the precious metal for now.

XAUUSD Analysis Today: Technical and Order Flow !In this video I will be sharing my XAUUSD analysis today, by providing my complete technical and order flow analysis, so you can watch it to possibly improve your forex trading skillset. The video is structured in 3 parts, first I will be performing my complete technical analysis, then I will be moving to the COT data analysis, so how the big payers in market are moving their orders, and to do this I will be using my customized proprietary software and then I will be putting together these two different types of analysis.
Gold's Cup and Handle: Historical Analysis, post completionThe recent completion of a Cup and Handle pattern on Gold price action leaves an open question about the historical performance after such a technical formation plays out. While Cup and Handle patterns are generally considered bullish, there are legitimate historical reasons to question maintaining a long position after the pattern completes.
Pattern completion often marks exhaustion points
======================================
Historically, the completion of a Cup and Handle pattern indicates near term exhaustion of buying pressure rather than the beginning of a sustained move higher. This occurs because:
1) The pattern completion itself often represents the culmination of a buildup in speculative long positioning.
2) Technical traders who entered based on the pattern may take profits once their target is achieved.
3) The psychological milestone of completing the pattern can trigger selling from larger institutional players.
For example, the technical Bull flag of 2001 on completion saw a 40% following correction. Were that to happen on the Cup and Handle pattern upon completion price action would return to $1950
2001 Bull flag
Monetary policy transition periods
======================================
Historical analysis shows that gold's technical pattern reliability decreases significantly during periods of monetary policy transitions. If the Cup and Handle completion coincides with a shift in central back policy stance (particularly Federal Reserve policy), historical precedent suggest heightened risk of pattern failure.
Looking left, breakouts in the Bond market resulted in serious downside pressure for Gold price action, the Federal Reserve may not have a choice in the months ahead. Especially as the cost of servicing the debt grows and foreign entities increase Bond market selling pressure.
10 year Bond breakout
Conclusion
======================================
While the Cup and Handle pattern is traditionally viewed as bullish, historical data specific to gold markets suggest caution about maintaining long position immediately following pattern completion. The historical tendency toward mean reversion, pattern reliability concerns, volatility expansion, and correlation breakdowns all suggest that a more measured approach may be warranted.
