Gold (XAU/USD) Intraday AnalysisGold is currently trading within a narrow range between 3018 and 3040, reflecting clear indecision in the market. This sideways consolidation suggests neither buyers nor sellers are fully in control, with price temporarily caught in a holding pattern. Key levels to watch: • Potential buys above 3042: A confirmed break and hold above this level could open the door toward 3052 and beyond, especially if momentum kicks in. This area may attract breakout traders eyeing continuation toward previous highs. • Potential sells below 3018: A clean breakdown under this support could trigger sharp downside, targeting levels around 3010 or even 3000 depending on follow-through volume and sentiment. For now, price is respecting both edges of the range. Be cautious of fakeouts near the boundaries—wait for confirmation and clean structure before jumping in. Ranging conditions like this often precede significant moves, so staying patient could pay off big.

Full analysis of gold operation strategiesTechnically, gold rebounded quickly in the Asian session and was under pressure from the 3055 level, then fell and fluctuated. In the afternoon European session and the evening US session, it was under pressure from the 3045 level, then fell and fluctuated downward, breaking the bottom. In the early morning, the price of gold accelerated downward, broke through the 2960 level and reached around 2957, where it stabilized and rebounded. The daily K-line closed at a high and then fell back to the hanging neck middle shadow. After the overall gold price reached the high point of 3167 last week, it was suppressed and fell downward for three consecutive trading days. The hourly moving average of gold was in a volatile operation, and the strength of gold shorts had not weakened. Gold rebounded or continued to be short, and gold was still weak overall. Gold was still under important pressure near 3055, and continued to be short after the rebound was blocked. Affected by trade tariffs, the global market encountered a "Black Monday". Gold had a big intraday shock on Monday, with an intraday amplitude of nearly $100, and finally broke down in the US session. Investors turned to the US dollar for risk aversion due to tariff concerns. The gold market showed a sharp decline, continuing the downward trend at the end of last week. The daily level has closed negative for three consecutive days. At present, gold has fallen by $100 for three consecutive days. The daily price has hit the 30-day moving average support for three consecutive days. It is difficult for gold to hit a new low today. Gold is in the fourth trading day of decline and adjustment. Although there was a rebound in the morning, the 1-hour moving average still showed a short arrangement with a death cross downward, and the short volume has not decreased, indicating that the short-term short trend is still continuing. After the gold price fell, it is also trying to regain lost ground, but the rebound is weak. Now the bottom signal has not been confirmed. At present, given the obvious short trend, it is recommended to rebound short as the main, and callback long as the auxiliary, and pay close attention to the upper 3025-3030 resistance and the lower 2956-2950 support. Operation strategy: 1. It is recommended to buy gold at 3025-3030 rebound, stop loss at 3040, target at 3000-2970, break at 2050. 2. It is recommended to buy gold at 3000-2994 pullback, stop loss at 2988, target at 3020-3030.

Bearish Reversal Setup on Gold After Key Resistance TestThe chart presents a 4-hour analysis of Gold (XAU/USD), showing a potential bearish reversal scenario after price tests a major resistance zone near $3,218 - $3,220. The price has surged strongly, currently at $3,218.924, but the forecast suggests that once price reaches the highlighted resistance zone (blue circle), a reversal could occur. The anticipated movement is: A short-term bullish push into the resistance zone. Followed by a bearish reversal with multiple targets: TP1: $3,150 TP2: $3,070 TP3: $2,950 This outlook implies that traders should watch for signs of exhaustion or rejection near the marked resistance before considering short positions. Key support levels are clearly marked for possible take-profit zones or entries for long re-entries in case of strong bounces. Let me know if you want a breakdown for trade execution or risk management based on this setup.

Gold Rejects Channel Highs — Retracement to $3,000 Before HigherGold has printed another clean rejection at the upper boundary of a short-term ascending channel on the 6H timeframe. This latest rejection adds further validity to the structure, suggesting that we may now see a healthy technical pullback toward the equilibrium line of the channel — and potentially down to the lower support boundary near the $3,000 psychological level. Technical Outlook: Another rejection from channel resistance confirms structural validity. 1:4 risk-to-reward short opportunity with clear invalidation and confluence. Targets:  – TP1: $3,005 — channel midline + psychological level  – TP2: $2,955 — previous swing high + dynamic quarterly support $3,000 psychological levels are often retested before continuation. Fundamentals & Geopolitical Context (as of April 1, 2025): Gold's Macro Bull Trend Remains Intact Despite this short-term setup, the broader macro backdrop continues to support gold:  – Central banks accumulating gold amid global de-dollarization  – Real yields remain negative across key regions  – Oil trading above $100 fuels inflationary pressure Geopolitical Flashpoints Supporting Volatility  – Russia-Ukraine war shows no signs of easing  – Middle East tensions rising (Israel–Hezbollah conflict)  – Taiwan-U.S.-China escalation continues post-military exercises Bitcoin Weakness = Gold Rotation Potential  – BTC struggling at $70K, showing early signs of distribution  – Miner pressure increasing ahead of halving  – Targeting possible correction to $50K = capital rotation into gold Conclusion: Technical rejection at resistance aligns with macro expectations of a short-term pullback. $3,000 key psychological level likely to be retested before further upside. Gold remains in a macro bull market; this move is likely corrective within a larger expansion leg. Long Term Gold Bull Target $4,200: Previous Long (Target hit and closed at $3,100): Previous Intra Long (Target hit and closed at $3,100):

Gold trend view and operation suggestionsGold surged again, setting a new record high. This rebound was expected, but the strength was beyond expectations; it opened higher and closed higher, and the upper side is close to the 3200 integer mark. Pay attention to the risk of another pullback. The overall trend of gold is still bullish. The upper 3200, 3210 and 3220 integer marks can be regarded as pressure, and the lower supports are 3169, 3161 and 3152 respectively. Here is a short-selling strategy. Operational suggestions: Wait for the price to rise to around 3208 and sell, stop loss at 3213 (small stop loss, to be set), short-term view around 3170-60, target 3250-40;

#XAUUSD: Last Four Analysis Helped US Gain Over 4000+ Pips!Next?Our previous four analysis has yielded a substantial gain of over 4,000 pips. Analysing the current market situation, we anticipate that the price may either experience a significant drop or continue its upward trajectory. Should a resolution be achieved between the trade tariffs imposed by China and the United States, we anticipate a substantial decline in gold prices. Conversely, if the situation remains unchanged, which is the more probable outcome at present, we will have two potential trading opportunities. The first entry involves the assumption that the price will remain unchanged and continue its upward trend. The second entry is contingent upon a correction in the price. We extend our best wishes and express our gratitude for your unwavering support throughout our endeavours. We sincerely hope that this analysis will serve as a valuable guide for your own trading endeavours. Much Love Team Setupsfx_

Huge Buy for Gold XAUUSD (Trump announces tariffs of up to 25%)How Trump’s 25% Auto Tariffs Could Be a Huge Buy Signal for Gold The proposed 25% tariffs on automobile imports to the U.S. by former President Donald Trump could have significant economic consequences, many of which could drive gold prices higher. Here’s why: 1. Trade War Fears and Market Uncertainty A new wave of tariffs could escalate tensions with key trading partners, particularly the European Union, Japan, and South Korea, leading to retaliatory tariffs and a potential global trade war. Uncertainty in global trade historically increases demand for gold as investors seek a safe haven from market volatility. 2. Higher Inflation and Rising Costs Tariffs would increase the price of imported cars, leading to higher inflation in the U.S. Rising inflation typically weakens consumer purchasing power and drives investors toward gold, a traditional inflation hedge. 3. Economic Slowdown and Risk of Recession Automakers and suppliers may cut jobs or reduce production, impacting economic growth. A slowing economy could trigger rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, which would lower bond yields and make gold even more attractive as a non-yielding asset. 4. Pressure on the U.S. Dollar Trade conflicts can destabilize the U.S. dollar, especially if major economies reduce reliance on U.S. exports or retaliate with their own tariffs. A weaker dollar increases the price of gold, as gold becomes cheaper for foreign investors. 5. Central Bank Demand and Gold Accumulation If economic uncertainty rises, central banks may increase gold reserves, further boosting demand. We’ve already seen major central banks accumulating gold at record levels, and new trade disruptions could accelerate this trend. Conclusion: A Strong Bull Case for Gold If Trump’s 25% auto tariffs take effect, they could trigger inflation, market volatility, and economic slowdown, all of which are bullish for gold. With central banks buying aggressively and rate cuts likely on the horizon, this could be a major buying opportunity for gold traders. Would you buy gold in this scenario? Let me know in the comments! 🚀

Trader's Alert: Gold Potential Top, Signal (Bullish Bitcoin)Gold today is making a strong move after hitting a new All-Time High. The current session is red and has the highest volume since November 2024. This is an early signal that can be interpreted as the top being printed. Very early. Gold peaking can have a strong significance for us Cryptocurrency traders. Gold has been in a strong uptrend since December 2024. Bitcoin peaked and went sideways with bearish tendencies in December 2024. They have been moving in contrary direction. This can mean that a Gold top would produce a Bitcoin bottom. The Gold peak can mean a change in market dynamics, all markets. Bullish goes bearish and bearish goes bullish. Gold is still bullish on the weekly timeframe but with a parabolic rise. A parabolic rise tends to end with a sudden crash. A true parabola. This is a friendly alert to all Gold traders. XAUUSD is likely to go down. Confirmation is needed. Thank you for reading. Namaste.

Gold Has Pulled BackGold has been in an uptrend this year, and some dip buyers may see an opportunity in its latest pullback. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of higher highs and higher lows since January. XAUUSD has dipped to the bottom of that rising channel. Will it become another higher low? Second, the pullback stabilized near the February high around 2956. That could suggest old resistance has become new support. Third, stochastics dipped to an oversold condition. Finally, the 50-day simple moving average is rising from below. TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options and futures.

Temporary Low or All-Time Bottom for Gold?Last week marked the ideal timing for a weekly high, which turned out to be accurate. Today represents the ideal timing for a daily low. Whether this low will be temporary or mark a more significant bottom remains to be seen. From a cyclical perspective, gold has corrected for three time units, which aligns with projected support. Therefore, a bounce tomorrow is likely, as corrections typically last only 1–3 time units. Exceeding this range would suggest a continued decline becomes possible, potentially down to the second support line. There is still a possibility of a larger "FALSE MOVE" to the downside.

Restesting Resistance - GOLDGood Morning, Gold broke down of its high at 3160$. It tried with good momentum to get back into trend but was rejected. Overall Gold is still in a bullish long term trend however for the purpose of swing trading we are always looking to take advantage of those highs and lows. I am still holding a short against Gold since its drop and have not looked to exit yet. Currently we are showing another attempt to retest and break out of its short term bearish trend. Enjoy!

Trump is controlling the world marketFear gripped global markets earlier this week as major economies clashed over tariffs that threatened to push the United States and the world into recession. Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States was taking “medicine” to cure its trade “disease.” But the pressure on the Trump administration is growing as Americans’ investment and retirement accounts have plummeted. Even Trump’s staunchest supporters, including Sen. Ted Cruz, Rep. Mitch McConnell and Elon Musk, have begun to voice concerns. JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned that the tariffs would push up commodity prices and slow economic growth, potentially leading to “stagflation.” The market is currently pricing in five rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year, totaling 1.25%. Many investors believe the Fed could make an emergency rate cut before its next policy meeting. Technically, despite the weakness in gold prices, buyers still have the technical advantage in the short term. The overnight rebound suggests that sellers may be exhausted. The buyers’ target is to close above the resistance level of $3,201.60/ounce (the contract high). On the other hand, sellers want to push prices below the support level of $2,950/ounce.

XAUUSD under selling pressure: Will Gold’s downtrend continue?At the end of the last trading session, XAUUSD continued its downward trend, currently quoted at 3037 USD, corresponding to a 2.46% decline on the day. The main reason for this decline is the escalating trade war, which has raised concerns about a global economic recession, leading to panic and a sell-off in gold to cover losses from other assets. Additionally, the recovery of the USD during the day also put pressure on gold. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated that President Donald Trump's new tariffs are "larger than expected" and that the new tax policies could have stronger-than-anticipated effects on the U.S. economy, increasing inflation and slowing economic growth. Therefore, the current environment remains risky for XAUUSD, and as long as the resistance levels within the downward trend channel are protected by the sellers, our target price will be limited to the lower boundary of the descending channel. What about you? Do you think gold will continue to fall?

XAUUSD: Bears continue to lead the trend !Hello everyone, let’s explore and build a strategy for gold prices today! As of now, gold has officially lost the psychological level of 3000 USD. This metal is currently moving around the 2980 USD mark and continues to drag its downtrend since last Friday. Accordingly, gold is trading in a negative environment as the USD continues to benefit. In the early days of the week, gold lacks momentum due to the absence of any new announcements, causing buyers to remain hesitant and unable to intervene deeply in the market. Looking at the technical picture, the descending channel remains strongly active and shows no signs of stopping. In the short term, the Bears are expected to stay dominant as the EMA 34 and 89 have issued reversal signals. The current defense level is set around 2965 USD. If this level is broken, selling should continue to be considered. On the other hand, the resistance level at 3020 USD should also be watched, as it represents an ideal selling point, aligning with the upper boundary of the trend channel. Wishing you all happy and profitable trading!
