XAU/ USD 4 hour chart Hello traders. Happy Monday. Gold is just pumping. On the 4-Hour chart I've marked my areas of interest. If we got a good pull back potential longs are marked on the chart as well. It's just speculation and not based on current price action. Let's see how the current 4-Hour candle closes. A break and close below current for our candle could open up opportunities for a push down. Big G gets all my thanks. Be well and trade the trend 📉. Let's see how the current 4-Hour candle plays out. Happy Monday.

gold is disguting While everyone is loving these easy gold buys, it's about to take a nasty dive. Now, I'll admit I don't trade gold often, but trust me, I'm still better than all you scrub gold traders, so listen closely. Gold's run time is almost over—enjoy these highs and start booking your profits because, believe me, the big boys Powell and NEM aren't about to let Trump slide with this coordinated attack on the dollar. You think these folks spent over 100 years suppressing gold prices just to watch it fly now, especially when they're trying to grab that digital gold too? Lol, the West is putting on a hall-of-fame shitshow performance, and it's got all you noobs knee-deep in gold. Bottom line: those boys in the West feel played, and they're not about to sit back quietly. I'll be jumping in on this easy money profit-booking starting tomorrow—Merry Christmas!

Gold Spot (XAU/USD) Analysis: Bullish Pennant Breakout to Target1. Overview of the Chart This 4-hour chart of Gold Spot (XAU/USD) presents a bullish pennant pattern, which is a strong continuation formation, indicating that the price is likely to continue its upward trajectory. The price action has followed a clear trend structure, and we can identify key support and resistance levels, breakout points, and potential profit targets. This analysis provides a comprehensive breakdown of the chart setup, including: The technical pattern formation Key support and resistance zones Trade setup with an ideal entry, stop loss, and profit target Risk management considerations Market conditions and external factors to monitor 2. Breakdown of the Chart Pattern: Bullish Pennant Formation Understanding the Bullish Pennant Pattern A bullish pennant is a continuation pattern that occurs after a strong upward movement (known as the "flagpole"). The market then consolidates within a small triangular shape, forming the pennant. This consolidation is seen as a temporary pause before the next bullish move. Key Characteristics of the Pennant in this Chart Flagpole Formation: The steep rally before the pennant formed represents a strong bullish impulse, driven by increased buying pressure. This rapid price increase set the foundation for the pennant pattern. Consolidation (Pennant Formation): Price action moved within converging trendlines, forming a symmetrical triangular pattern. The market temporarily paused, as some traders took profits while others awaited further momentum. This type of consolidation is common before the price resumes its trend. Breakout from the Pennant: The bullish breakout above the upper trendline of the pennant confirms the continuation of the uptrend. A strong breakout suggests renewed buying interest, likely pushing prices toward the next resistance level. 3. Key Technical Levels on the Chart A. Resistance Level (Potential Selling Zone) A critical resistance zone is marked between $3,100 - $3,125, where selling pressure could emerge. If the price faces rejection in this zone, a temporary retracement could occur before another push higher. A breakout above this resistance level would further strengthen the bullish case, possibly pushing gold toward the $3,175 - $3,200 range. B. Support Level (Demand Zone) The support zone is around $3,025 - $3,017, which is the last significant swing low. This level represents a strong buying area where traders may look for re-entry on a pullback. A break below this support could invalidate the bullish setup, signaling a shift in market sentiment. C. Trendline Support (Dynamic Support) The dashed black trendline represents an uptrend support. If price retraces toward this level and holds, it may offer another buying opportunity before resuming its uptrend. A break below this trendline would be a warning signal, suggesting a weakening of bullish momentum. 4. Trade Setup and Execution Strategy A. Entry Strategy The ideal entry point was upon the confirmed breakout above the pennant, around $3,075 - $3,085. Aggressive traders may have entered at the breakout itself. Conservative traders may wait for a pullback to retest the breakout zone before entering, ensuring confirmation. B. Stop Loss Placement (Risk Management) A stop loss is placed below the support zone at $3,017 to minimize downside risk. This placement protects against false breakouts or unexpected market reversals. Keeping a tight stop loss allows for a higher risk-to-reward ratio while maintaining a disciplined approach. C. Profit Target Projection (Expected Price Movement) The target price is determined using the measured move approach, where the height of the flagpole is added to the breakout point. The expected profit target is in the range of $3,175 - $3,200, offering a potential upside of 4.29% from the breakout level. If price maintains its bullish momentum, further gains could be expected beyond the target zone. 5. Risk Management & Considerations A. Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR) This trade setup provides a favorable risk-to-reward ratio (RRR). With an entry near $3,085, a stop loss at $3,017, and a target around $3,175, the trade offers a reward-to-risk ratio of approximately 3:1. This ensures that even if the trade does not succeed, the risk is controlled while allowing significant upside potential. B. Factors That Could Invalidate the Setup Failure to sustain the breakout: If price falls back below the pennant, the setup may be invalid. Break below the support zone ($3,017): This would signal a possible trend reversal. Weak volume on breakout: A lack of volume could indicate a false breakout, leading to price retracement. C. Alternative Trade Scenarios Scenario 1: Retest & Continuation: If price pulls back to retest the breakout zone ($3,075 - $3,085) and holds, traders can look for another buying opportunity. Scenario 2: False Breakout & Reversal: If price falls below the support level ($3,017), traders should exit long positions and re-evaluate market conditions. 6. Market Conditions & External Factors to Monitor A. Gold’s Correlation with USD & Interest Rates Stronger USD → Downward Pressure on Gold Weaker USD → Bullish Gold Trend Interest rate decisions from the U.S. Federal Reserve play a significant role in gold prices. B. Economic Events & News Impact Inflation Reports: Higher inflation often supports gold prices. Geopolitical Tensions: Political instability can lead to increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Stock Market Movements: A weaker stock market can drive capital into gold. 7. Conclusion: Bullish Outlook with Cautious Optimism Key Takeaways: ✔ Bullish pennant breakout confirmed – strong continuation signal. ✔ Price is above key support & trendline – maintaining bullish structure. ✔ Clear trade plan with entry, stop loss, and target levels. Trading Plan Summary: Entry Stop Loss Target Risk-Reward Ratio $3,075 - $3,085 $3,017 $3,175 - $3,200 3:1 📌 Final Recommendation: Maintain a bullish bias as long as price holds above the support zone ($3,017). Watch for volume confirmation to ensure the breakout is valid. Adjust stop loss or secure profits if price reaches key resistance levels ($3,100 - $3,125). If you need further clarification or alternative trade scenarios, let me know! 🚀

More upside for goldHi traders, It's a shame that my outlooks doesn't reach a lot of people. Many could benefit from it in my opinion. I don't think there are many more chartists with this kind of accuracy. For example, XAUUSD did exactly what I've said in my outlook last week. On Tuesday it made the change in orderflow (Ch) to bullish and on Thursday there were many trade possibilities for this pair. Now for next week we could see (a little) more upside. So let's see what price does and react. Trade idea: Wait for a small correction down on a lower timeframe to trade longs. If you want to learn more about trading FVG's & liquidity with wave analysis, please make sure to follow me. This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my analysis. Don't be emotional, just trade your plan! Eduwave

Gold breaks high strongly, how much room is there for the bulls?Gold broke through the high and headed straight for 3100, reaching a high of 3087! This wave of rise was frequent with long and short positions. First, it fluctuated back and forth between 3000 and 3038, and neither long nor short positions continued. It broke through the oscillation range strongly, and the price approached the previous high of 3057. Operation suggestions: 3068 and 3062, it is better to be more cautious and look at 3062. The watershed is 3054, and the upper pressure is 3080-3100. When it touches 3100 for the first time, you can try shorting.

Bollinger Bands Warning: Is Gold Losing Uptrend?Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) has succeeded in creating a New All-Time High(ATH) as I expected in my previous post . Now, the question is whether Gold can continue its upward trend. Gold is currently moving in the Resistance zone($3,058-$3,045) . The upper and lower lines of the Bollinger Bands indicator also play the role of resistance and support well on the 1-hour time frame . Also, we can see the Regular Divergence(RD-) between Consecutive Peaks( Bollinger Bands indicator and Price ). Educational Note : A divergence forms when the price chart and the indicator behave in contrast to each other. Divergence sell signals mostly form at the end of an upward trend, where the price chart forms a peak above the Bollinger upper band and another peak after, below the upper band. These signals are considered negative Regular Divergences(RD-) , hinting at a potential market reversal and a downward trend. In terms of Elliott Wave theory , I think the main wave 4 is NOT yet complete, and we can expect another corrective wave . I expect Gold to bearish trend in the coming hours and drop to at least $3,036 , with the next target being an attack on the Support zone($3,032-$3,021 ) . Note: If Gold goes above $3068.29, we should expect more Pumps. Gold Analyze ( XAUUSD ), 1-hour time frame. Be sure to follow the updated ideas. Do not forget to put a Stop loss for your positions (For every position you want to open). Please follow your strategy; this is just my idea, and I will gladly see your ideas in this post.

Gold weekly forecast with buy and sell levelsGold weekly forecast with both buy and sell entries. Friday Gold sold off from 2334 all the way to 2300 for a drop of 334 pips before retracing up to where we are now at 3024. What can we expect for the coming week ?. My plan is as follows. For a buy I would look at entering at 3032 expecting first resistance (marked in red on chart ) to be 3038 to 3040 area. If we break these then next target would be 3048 to 3052 (200 pip from entry) this is high resistance level , if gold continues to be bullish expect 3078 to be the next area. For a sell I would enter at 3018 expecting 3010 to 3008 as first support, next level is 3000 to 2998 and if broken we can expect gold to fall to 2880 and 2840 levels. As always wait for levels, take profit along the way and don't over leverage . Ill update this as the week goes on. Check out my other trade idea for a gold swing trade below. Trade safe

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG: Well, that couldn't have gone any better today on Gold. We got the move into support we wanted to the pip, then the completion of the move up, to the pip, then the move down, to the pip! Currently the short is going well, protected and managed with support approaching here on the 4H chart at the 2997-3000 level. Unless broken, there may be an opportunity to scalp long, but is it worth it after the move we've already had!? Support below 2995-7 needs to hold while resistance on the flip now 3010! KOG’s bias for the week: Bearish below 3040 with targets below 3010✅, 3006✅, 2997, 2985 and below that 2978 Bullish on break of 3040 with targets above 3050, 3055, 3063 and above that 3067 RED BOXES: Break above 3037 for 3040, 3047, 3050, 3055, 3063 and 3066 in extension of the move Break below 3010 for 3006✅, 3000, 2997, 2990 and 2985 in extension of the move As always, trade safe.

Gold gains strengthOn the daily, weekly, and monthly charts, there is no reason to open short positions. I continue to hold long position. If you don't have a potion, take advantage of intraday weakness to build a position. A move and consolidation below 3057 will invalidate the idea. As for targets, it's difficult to predict precisely. Globally, I believe we could see 3300, but the best approach here is to hold the position using a trailing stop-loss. Let the market decide how high it wants to go.

Gold Bullish Frenzy? Watch for Reversal SignalsAt present, it seems that the situation for the bulls is promising. However, the market is not necessarily so. This kind of behavior to induce more long positions is quite normal in the market. Market makers often operate in a strategic way. After they have reaped the profits from the bulls, it's highly likely that the next target will be the bears. Looking at the gold market specifically, the price of gold is currently at a high level and is bound to decline. This frenzied bullish trend simply cannot be sustained, and this is an inevitable outcome. The current gold price has seriously deviated from its normal track. One could even say that it has completely derailed or "strayed from the norm". Such a situation is clearly unreasonable, and a return to a reasonable level is inevitable. I will share trading signals every day. All the signals have been accurate for a whole month in a row. If you also need them, please click on the link below the article to obtain them.

Gold is still falling today, and the 3,000 mark may be lost!On the one hand, the adjustment of the bulls is not enough, and the indicators show that there is still further downward exploration. On the other hand, although the current shock has rebounded, the strength is not strong and the continuity is poor. It is a shock upward trend and may fall at any time. Be cautious when bullish. It should be noted that since the bulls rose strongly in the early stage, the market turned to bearish, or the rhythm of bull adjustments would not be so fast. Therefore, yesterday's positive daily line was not a return of bulls, but a correction in the process of decline. Gold is expected to be bearish today. In the morning, it hit the bottom again and rebounded at 3016. A break of this level means that the market is weakening. For the rebound during the day, we should focus on the top position and look at the performance of the European session. The earlier the market performance, the clearer the trend.

GOLD → Tense fundamental environment and retest of 3025FX:XAUUSD is forming a correction within the descending channel. The situation is becoming complex and confusing. The focus is on the channel resistance and on the support at 3004.9. Further price movement depends on the fundamental data... The problem is the uncertainty around the US tariff policy and the outcome of talks between Russia and the US on ceasefire in Ukraine. The market is focused on US consumer confidence data and comments from Fed officials. The rise in the dollar, supported by Bostic's hawkish statements and strong PMIs, is pressuring gold, but the lack of clarity on tariffs and geopolitical tensions are limiting its further decline Technically, the situation is simple in that it all depends on the resistance of the current channel. A break and consolidation above 3025 will trigger growth. A false break of the channel resistance will provoke a continuation of the decline both to 3004 and to 2980. Resistance levels: 3024.6, 3038, 3056 Support levels: 3004.9, 2987, 2981 Based on the difficult fundamental environment, which is far from any positive decisions, the tensions in the Middle East, and the tariff war, I can conclude that gold will try to strengthen once again, as we have technical support: a strong bullish trend, a strong 3004 level, and a cascade of locally rising lows. A failed breakdown will be false and in this case, a price consolidation under 3017 will trigger a fall to 3004. Regards R. Linda!

All Bullish Targets concludedAs discussed throughout my Wednesday's session commentary: "Technical analysis: This and last week’s Fundamentals missed their estimates by a respectable margin and the DX found the Support and already pulling back on a strong Hourly 1 chart’s Bull candle. Bond Yields also followed that sequence (found Buyers on spiral downtrend aftermath) and the only reason Gold hasn't acted according to it’s first negative then diagonal correlation is the consolidation of Investors capital on High levels (using Gold as an safe-haven in High demand). Soon enough I am expecting 2 Gaps to be closed (DX downwards and Gold upwards) which will be ultimate Profit opportunity where Gold will deliver aggressive Buying sequence where I will be ready to pursue #3,027.80 Resistance zone beginning first then #3,07.80 Resistance in extension. However the Price-action is just above its Hourly 4 chart’s Support zone and it should start trending upwards anytime, so according to my Technicals and assuming no new Fundamental surprises, Gold is on the verge of an aggressive Bullish trend extension taken from recent local Low's. As long as Hourly 4 chart remains stable (Ascending Triangle slowly forming), Gold has more chances of breaking the #3,052.80 benchmark Higher High’s local peak than testing and breaking Daily chart’s Support zone (#3,000.80 benchmark barrier and below). My position: I will continue Buying every dip on Gold taken from my calculated re-Buy zones as long as #2,992.80 - #3,000.80 Support zone is preserved and rejecting every downside break-out attempt." Technical analysis: Despite the strong Bullish candle sequence on DX, Gold remains aggressively Bullish and above my Medium-term Support for the fractal as the U.S. session approaching and geo-political fears resurfacing. However, #3,037.80 - #3,052.80 is new / old Support zone made by the Hourly 4 chart’s candlestick configuration after Ascending Triangle break-out to the upside on Hourly 4 chart. Gold is still not pulling back again after it failed to break above it’s Higher High’s Upper zone on the Hourly 4 chart / however way above new ATH's. Still I haven’t got confirmation for Short-term Selling opportunity and it is still not worth entering the market without tight Risk management (all correction attempts are rejected due Fundamental Buying pressure). Monday’s session Wall Street opening Bell can have Bearish impact also on DX, hence Bullish for Gold. My Buying bias is unchanged as I will treat Bear spikes as an oscillation from Overbought to Neutral (Williams%), which may create new space for aggressive Bullish extension. Needless to mention, current environment is Gold friendly (recession fears, safe-havens such as Gold are in High demand, Fed stance). Spot how Gold's strong Resistance level is far from fair symmetrical manner with disastrous side Swings on DX as my strongest correlation so far. I am Highly sceptical, and having strong reservations of current Gold’s relief rally extension as I do believe that we are near the Ultimate Top, and since it is last session of the week, I do believe Profit Taking will take place as I don't have any active Buying orders / all closed with recent High's. My position: As stated above many times, Gold is on undisputed Bullish trend and total Bullish domination however Gold is near the Top and Sellers can expect some Selling action due to critically Over-bought waters Gold is Trading in. I am Buying every local Low's on Gold for a long time now for once again brilliant Trading week. I am satisfied with my results and taking early weekend break.

Is Gold Topping Out at $3100? Time to Take Profits? Hello Traders 🐺 The last time I published an idea about gold, it was trading around $3000, and I told my community that there’s a high probability of completing the AB=CD pattern, along with hitting one of the most important Fibonacci levels — the 1.618. 📐📈 In this case, we’re seeing a convergence of two major points of confluence, and in my opinion, somewhere around $3100 could mark the top for gold. That’s why I believe it’s wise to take some profit at this level. Also, the RSI has hit the overbought zone almost three times, which suggests that a bubble may be forming in the gold market — and we could be on the verge of a correction after this parabolic run to $3100. I hope you enjoyed this idea, and as always, remember: 🐺 Discipline is rarely enjoyable, but almost always profitable 🐺 🐺 KIU_COIN 🐺

DeGRAM | GOLD has grown againGOLD is above the ascending channel between the trend lines. The price is moving from the lower trend line, support level and has already consolidated above the upper boundary of the channel. The chart maintains an ascending structure. Trading volumes have decreased. We expect XAUUSD to continue rising while the indicators are forming a bearish divergence on the 1W Timeframe. It should be taken into account that opening long positions now is quite risky. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with a like. Thanks for your support!

XAU/USD 28 March 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Price has met expectations and analysis by printing a further bullish iBOS, however, pullback was minimal and with price not trading down to either discount of 50% EQ or Daily/H4 demand zone. I will therefore, at present, not classify this as a bullish iBOS in order not to distort internal range Intraday Expectation: Price to print bearish CHoCH to indicate, bnut not confirm bearish pullback phase initiaiton. Price to then trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or nested Daily and H4 demand levels before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,086.090. Alternative scenario: Price could potentially continue to print higher. 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 was not met with pricing printing a bullish iBOS. Price has printed a bearish CHoCH to indicate bearish pullback phase initiation. Price is now trading within an established internal range. I will however continue to monitor price. Intraday Expectation: Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ or M15 demand zone before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,086.090. 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:
