GOLD DAILY CHART ROUTE MAPHey Everyone, Daily Chart Follow Up – Structure Still in Full Control Just a quick update on our daily structure roadmap. Price continues to respect our Goldturn levels with surgical precision. After the previous bounce off 3272, we’ve now seen over 800 pips of upside follow through. That level once again proved its weight, holding beautifully as support and launching price firmly back toward the upper boundary. We now have a clear gap overhead at 3433, which sits right near the channel top a familiar rejection zone. With that in play, we’re expecting a range bound dynamic to develop between 3272 and 3433 in the short term. Here’s what we’re focusing on next: Range scenario active: Until price breaks out cleanly, we anticipate swings between 3433 resistance and 3272 support to play out. This is the working range for now. EMA5 cross and lock: Watch for a clean EMA5 break and lock, this will be our technical confirmation for whether we’re breaking out of this range or just ping ponging inside it. Structure remains intact: No EMA5 breakdown off 3272 during the recent test means buyers remain in control. Until that changes, dips into 3272 continue to offer structured long setups. Key Levels This Week Support 3272 Proven bounce zone. As long as this holds, the structure favours upside. Resistance 3433 Open gap + channel top confluence; expect reaction and potential fade unless we break cleanly with EMA5 confirmation. As always, we continue to let structure guide the way, measured, deliberate, and data-driven. Thanks again for all the continued support, every like, comment, and follow is truly appreciated. Wishing you all a focused and profitable week ahead! Mr Gold GoldViewFX

Gold Surges Late Session – Targeting $3,345+📊 Market Overview: • Gold has just broken higher to $3,339, extending its bullish move after clearing the $3,335 resistance zone. • Market sentiment remains supportive as the USD weakens and U.S. bond yields stabilize, while the Fed still shows no signs of cutting rates soon. 📉 Technical Analysis: • Next resistance: $3,345 – $3,350 • Nearest support: $3,335 – $3,336 • EMA 09: Price remains above EMA 09 → confirms short-term uptrend • Momentum: RSI stays bullish, and price continues to follow breakout momentum from the recent consolidation zone 📌 Outlook: Gold is holding its bullish structure — if it stays above $3,335, a move toward $3,345–$3,350 is likely during the Asian session. 💡 Suggested Trading Strategy 🔺 BUY XAU/USD at: 3,336 – 3,338 🎯 TP: 3,350 ❌ SL: 3,330

False breakout? Gold reverses sharply after news surgeBecause of the news that Trump hinted at firing Powell, gold surged strongly in the short term and passed to 3377, recovering the recent decline in one fell swoop. We went long on gold near 3323 in advance, and went long on gold near 3340 again after gold retreated, hitting TP: 3345 and 3355 respectively. The two long trades successfully made a profit of 370pips, with a profit of more than $18K. Although gold has risen sharply in the short term and effectively destroyed the downward structure, it is mainly news that drives the market. After Trump denied firing Powell, gold rose fast and fell fast. So we can't chase long gold too much. First, the sustainability of the news-driven market needs to be examined, and second, the certainty of Trump's news is still unreliable. He always denies himself the next day. After the gold price retreated quickly, a long upper shadow appeared in the candlestick chart, indicating that the upper resistance should not be underestimated. Therefore, we should not rush to buy gold. We can still consider shorting gold in the 3355-3365 area. We should first focus on the area around 3340. If gold falls below this area during the retreat, gold will return to the short trend and test the area around 3320 again, or even fall below this area after multiple tests and continue to the 3310-3300 area.

Psychology Is 80% of Trading SuccessPsychology Is 80% of Trading Success – But Most Traders Still Ignore It Have you ever followed a perfect setup… and still lost money? You entered at the right level. The trend was clear. Confirmation was solid. But you closed the trade too early. Or held onto a losing trade far too long. Or took a revenge trade just to “get it back.” This isn’t a strategy problem – it’s a psychological one. 💡 Most traders don’t fail due to poor analysis – they fail because they lose control of themselves Let’s break down three real-world scenarios that almost every trader has experienced at some point: 🎯 1. Closing profitable trades too early – fear of giving it back Example: You long XAUUSD from 2360, targeting 2375. As price hits 2366, you panic and exit early, fearing a reversal. Later, the price hits 2375 without you. ➡️ This is classic loss aversion — where the fear of losing small gains outweighs the logic of sticking to your plan. 🎯 2. Holding onto losers – hoping the market will turn Example: You short EURUSD expecting a pullback, but price breaks resistance and climbs. Instead of cutting your losses, you widen your stop and hold on. The loss grows, and you exit in frustration. ➡️ This is denial – refusing to admit you're wrong, letting hope override discipline. 🎯 3. Increasing risk after a winning streak – “I can’t lose” mindset Example: After two wins, confidence spikes. You double your position size, despite a weaker setup. One loss later – your previous gains are wiped out. ➡️ This is overconfidence bias – common after wins and extremely dangerous to consistency. 📊 Technical knowledge accounts for 20% of success – the remaining 80% lies in mindset and behaviour You can: Understand market structure Use advanced indicators Develop a robust strategy But if you: Ignore your stop-loss Trade out of boredom or revenge Break rules when under pressure Then your edge disappears. Your system becomes irrelevant if your psychology breaks down. 🧠 5 Practical Ways to Strengthen Your Trading Psychology ✅ Keep a trading journal – especially note your emotions Ask yourself: “Was this trade part of my plan, or based on impulse?” ✅ Never adjust SL or TP mid-trade Stick to your original parameters. Trust your plan, not your feelings. ✅ Use demo accounts to practise discipline, not just execution Treat them like live accounts. Emotions will surface if you're honest. ✅ Pause trading after consecutive losses Two losses in a row? Step away for 24 hours. Protect your decision-making clarity. ✅ Learn to wait – no trade is often the best trade Patience is a trader’s secret weapon. Pros trade less, but with precision. 🔁 Trading isn’t about predicting the market – it’s about managing yourself within it A 55% win-rate system can make you consistent profits If you’re disciplined, calm, and structured. But… A 70% win-rate system can still blow your account If your emotions are calling the shots. 🎯 Final Thought: Financial markets don’t reward traders with the best strategy. They reward those who stay rational under pressure. You don’t need to be the smartest person in the room. You don’t need a complex system. But you do need emotional control, patience, and trust in your process. Knowledge helps you spot the trade. Psychology helps you survive it. 🔔 If you found value in this, follow me for more content on trading mindset, discipline, and long-term consistency – because true success begins in the mind.

XAUUSD H4 Outlook – Full Structure & Macro | July 21, 2025Hello, GoldMinds! 💙 After a volatile week, gold remains caught in a wide H4 range, ping-ponging between structural supply and demand. Let’s break down the current picture so you can navigate the next big moves with confidence. 🌍 Macro & Bias Macro context: Last week’s US CPI print triggered a temporary rally, but gold failed to hold above resistance and quickly reversed as the dollar strengthened. Next week brings Fed Chair Powell’s testimony, global PMI numbers, and jobless claims—all catalysts for new volatility. Bias: Neutral on H4: Gold is consolidating inside a broad sideways range. The market is waiting for a catalyst to break above 3375 or below 3310 before showing a real trend. 🔸 Structural Key Supply Zones (Above Price) 1️⃣ 3357–3375 | Main H4 Supply Why it matters: Aggressive NY and CPI rallies have been sold off here; price rejected every attempt to close above 3375. OB, liquidity cluster, inducement—this is the first real ceiling above price. Trade logic: Watch for M15/H1 reversal or exhaustion. No clean break = supply remains active. 2️⃣ 3384–3400 | Macro Supply Why it matters: All failed breakouts from early summer were stopped in this block. Liquidity pool and macro OB; every test led to sharp pullbacks. Trade logic: Avoid FOMO—only short with confirmation of rejection. 3️⃣ 3410–3425 | Extreme Supply Why it matters: The final upper ceiling for now. Any spike here is likely to see big profit-taking and volatility. 🔹 Structural Key Demand Zones (Below Price) 1️⃣ 3330–3310 | Main H4 Demand Why it matters: All major dips last week bounced here—bulls are active in this OB. It’s the base of the current “micro-range,” with clear LTF inducement and high volume. Trade logic: Look for bullish reversal (M15/H1) before trusting any long from here. 2️⃣ 3295–3275 | Swing Demand / Discount Zone Why it matters: The main structure support for July. Strong OB, historic liquidity sweeps—each deep flush has brought responsive buyers. Trade logic: Watch for reaction, but don’t knife-catch without a clear structure break. 3️⃣ 3250–3225 | Extreme Demand / HTF Liquidity Pool Why it matters: The “final line” for bulls. This zone has absorbed all major liquidations and created swing reversals since early spring. 📊 H4 Structure Logic Current play: Gold is stuck in a structural cage between 3375 and 3310. Until price closes outside these edges, every spike is likely a liquidity hunt. Pro move: Only react to confirmation in these zones—don’t force trades in the mid-range! 🧠 Game Plan Set alerts at each supply & demand zone. Wait for confirmation: M15/H1 CHoCH, BOS, wicks, or volume. Let the news come to you: Powell & PMI will likely force a test of an edge; be patient. 💬 What’s your bias for the week?

Gold prices are on the rise again!Market news: In the early Asian session on Friday (July 18), spot gold fluctuated in a narrow range and is currently trading around $3,336 per ounce. London gold prices staged a thrilling "deep V" market yesterday, hitting a daily low of $3,309 during the session and recovering to 3,339 at the end of the session. Strong US retail sales and employment data drove the dollar to rebound and US Treasury yields to rise, putting pressure on interest-free assets such as gold. Despite this, geopolitical tensions and rising tariff risks are still providing bottom support for the gold market. The international gold market is currently in a multi-game of Fed policies, US economic data, US dollar trends and tariff policies. The Fed's position of postponing interest rate cuts, strong retail and employment data, and the rise in the US dollar and US Treasury yields have suppressed gold prices in the short term. This trading day needs to pay attention to the preliminary value of the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index in July and US real estate market data, pay attention to the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting hosted by South Africa, and pay attention to news related to the international trade situation. Technical Review: Gold closed with a small positive line with a long upper shadow yesterday. Although it ended the continuous negative trend, it still faced sideways resistance below 3374, and the overall market still needs to be treated as a shock consolidation. From a large cycle perspective, gold has entered a convergent triangle consolidation phase of nearly three months. Among them, the lower track support line gradually moved up to above 3310. The support strength of this position continues to increase as the consolidation time lengthens. If the price touches or approaches this point, you can decisively try to buy the bottom layout.For two consecutive trading days, gold has been consolidating in a larger range of 3377/3310, and finally closed at the starting point of the daily Bollinger band middle track at the end of the trading day. Gold returned to the middle axis of the range at 3340. The daily chart Bollinger band middle track, the RSI indicator middle axis flattened, the four-hour chart hourly chart Bollinger band middle track, and the RSI indicator neutral middle axis. On Friday, the layout of the day will still be based on a wide range of fluctuations. Look at the 3320/3360 range first. Alternating buying and selling cycles, large range of wide fluctuations! Today's analysis: In the past two days, gold has always risen in the US market due to news. Last night, Trump called on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, and gold rose again. However, judging from the recent market, the market stimulated by the news is still unsustainable. Since gold has rebounded now, gold will continue to sell at a high level in the early trading. Excluding yesterday's market affected by Trump, the gold price operation pattern this week is close to perfect, and it has been steadily operating under the suppression of the downward trend line. Therefore, the market has given a clear direction. It is OK to sell when the Asian market rebounds to the pressure level. Gold is still in a fluctuating downward trend in 1 hour! The downward trend resistance of gold has moved down to around 3350. Before gold effectively breaks through 3350, gold is under pressure at 3350 and continues to sell at high prices. Today, Friday, the probability of gold having a big market is relatively high, and if there is a big market on Friday, it is basically weak throughout the day. If it is strong, it is strong throughout the day. As long as gold continues to be weak in the European market, it is likely that gold will continue to fall today. Operation ideas: Buy short-term gold at 3317-3320, stop loss at 3308, target at 3340-3360; Sell short-term gold at 3352-3355, stop loss at 3364, target at 3330-3310; Key points: First support level: 3323, second support level: 3310, third support level: 3290 First resistance level: 3348, second resistance level: 3360, third resistance level: 3377

Powell's stay or departure affects the market, and gold is unlik Yesterday, the Trump and Powell incident caused gold to rise strongly to around 3377. The rise of gold was just a moment. In the end, the gold daily line closed positive, but closed with a super long upper shadow line. In the end, the gold price quickly rose and broke through the 3377 mark, and then fell under pressure and fell into a shock closing. The daily K line closed high and fell back and fluctuated in the middle of the positive. Although the overall gold price repeatedly fluctuated and washed the market under the stimulation of the news, it ultimately failed to break through the recent large box shock range. Today we continue to pay attention to the support line of 3318-25 below. We will continue to go long if it falls back! From the 4-hour analysis, today's short-term support below continues to focus on the vicinity of 3318-25, the short-term pressure above focuses on the 3340-45 line, and the key pressure above focuses on the 3380 line. The overall support range still maintains the main tone of high-altitude low-multiple cycle participation. In the middle position, watch more and do less, and follow orders cautiously, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market. Gold operation strategy: Gold falls back to the 3318-25 line and goes long, stop loss 3312, target 3340-45 line, and continues to hold if it breaks;

Why Swing Trading and Scalping Are Opposite Worlds"It's not about the strategy. It's about who you are when the market puts pressure on you." Most traders fail not because they don’t learn “strategies” — but because they pick a style that doesn't match their temperament. And nothing creates more damage than confusing swing trading with scalping/intraday trading. Let’s break them down. For real... ________________________________________ 🔵 1. Swing Trader – Chasing Direction, Not Noise A swing trader does not touch choppy markets. He’s not here for the sideways grind. He wants momentum. If there’s no clear trend, he doesn’t trade. He shifts between assets depending on where real movement is. • USD weakens → he buys EUR/USD and waits • Gold breaks → he enters and lets the move develop Swing trading means positioning with the macro flow, not chasing bottoms and tops. ✅ He trades based on H4/Daily or even Weekly charts ✅ He holds for hundreds of pips. ✅ He accepts contrarian candles in the process. ________________________________________ 🔴 2. Scalper/Intraday Trader – The Asset Specialist A true scalper doesn’t chase trends. He hunts inefficiencies — quick spikes, fakeouts, liquidity grabs. ✅ Loves range conditions ✅ Lives inside M5–M15 ✅ Often trades only one asset he knows like the back of his hand He doesn’t care what EUR/USD will do this week. He cares what it does in the next 30 minutes after a breakout. Scalping is not chaos. It's cold execution with a sniper mindset. 📡 He reacts to news in real time. He doesn’t predict — he exploits. ________________________________________ 🧾 Key Differences – Swing Trader vs. Scalper ________________________________________ 🎯 Primary Objective • Swing Trader: Captures large directional moves over several days. • Scalper/Intraday: Exploits short-term volatility, aiming for quick, small gains. ________________________________________ 🧭 Market Conditions Preference • Swing Trader: Needs clean, trending markets with clear momentum. • Scalper/Intraday: Feels comfortable in ranging markets with liquidity spikes and noise. ________________________________________ 🔍 Number of Instruments Traded • Swing Trader: Monitors and rotates through multiple assets (e.g. XAUUSD, EURUSD, indices, BTC, he's going where the money is). • Scalper/Intraday: Specializes in 1–2 instruments only, knows their behavior in every session. ________________________________________ ⏰ Time Spent in Front of the Charts • Swing Trader: Waits for clean setups, may hold positions for days or weeks. • Scalper/Intraday: Constant screen time, executes and manages trades actively. ________________________________________ 📰 Reaction to News • Swing Trader: Interprets the macro/fundamental impact and positions accordingly. • Scalper/Intraday: Reacts live to data releases, wicks, and intraday volatility. ________________________________________ 📉 When They Struggle • Swing Trader: Fails in choppy or directionless markets. • Scalper/Intraday: Loses edge when the market trends explosively. ________________________________________ 🧠 Psychological Requirements • Swing Trader: Needs patience, confidence in the big picture, and acceptance of drawdown. • Scalper/Intraday: Needs absolute discipline, emotional detachment, and razor-sharp focus. ________________________________________ ✅ Bottom line: They are two different games. Don’t try to play both on the same chart with the same mindset. ________________________________________ ✅ Final Thoughts – Your Edge Is in Alignment, Not Imitation You don’t pick a trading style because it “sounds cool.” You pick it because it aligns with: • Your schedule • Your attention span • Your tolerance for uncertainty If you hate watching candles all day – go swing. If you hate waiting for days – go intraday. If you keep switching between both – go journal your pain and come back later. P.S. Recent Example: I'm a swing trader. And this week, Gold has been stuck in a range. What do I do? I wait. No rush, no overtrading. Just patience. Once the range breaks, I’m ready — in either direction. But I don’t close after a quick 50–100 pip move. That’s not my game. I aim for 700+ pips whether it breaks up or down,because on both sides we have major support and resistance levels that matter. That’s swing trading: 📍 Enter with structure, hold with confidence, exit at significance. Not every move is worth trading — but the big ones are worth waiting for.

Gold continues to test resistance levels for a breakoutThe global trend is bullish, with gold undergoing a local correction. The price is attempting to avoid the liquidation zones located below. The fourth retest of the trend resistance over the past two weeks is forming. Regarding the current situation, gold is consolidating near the resistance level of 3329, a break of which could trigger growth. Buyers are interested in gold due to the current geopolitical circumstances... Scenario : If the bullish pattern remains intact and gold stays within the 3329-3315 range and continues to move towards resistance, another retest of 3329-3330 could lead to a breakout and growth.

Gold Sees Mild Increase as USD WeakensGold ended Friday's session with a slight increase, regaining the 3350 USD level and recovering over 100 pips by the end of the day. The weakening of the US Dollar (USD) allowed XAU/USD to rise modestly. Concerns about US President Donald Trump's erratic trade policies and their potential impact on the global economy further supported the precious metal. In the short term, the technical chart shows gold breaking out of the downward channel and starting an upward wave. The price is currently adjusting at 3350 USD, which coincides with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level and the EMA zone, suggesting the potential for further price increases from this level, with targets towards key resistance levels. Key resistance levels: 3160, 3172, and 3378 USD. Support zones: 3350, 3340, 3331 USD.

GOLD WEEKLY CHART MID/LONG TERM ROUTE MAPHey Everyone, Please see update on our weekly chart idea. Price delivered the rejection at the channel top, so our longer range gap at 3482 remains open overhead. The pullback rejection from channel top extended to 3281 axis precisely where buying interest stepped in, just before the rising channel mid-line, which is edging higher in tandem with price and keeping the broader structure intact. Key take aways from the latest swing: Support confirmed: 3281 held on a weekly closing basis, giving us the springboard we needed. Bounce in motion: We’ve already reclaimed the prior pivot zone and are now working on the 3387 gap fill; this is the near-term magnet before any attempt at the larger 3482 imbalance. Structure unchanged: The channel is still orderly, the EMA5 has curled but hasn’t locked bearishly, and the mid-line continues to ascend beneath price, favouring a measured, step wise climb. Updated Levels to Watch: Immediate Support 3281 Proven axis support Resistance 1 3387 Gap fill target in progress; expect reaction. Resistance 2 3482 Long standing weekly gap remains the bigger picture objective. Plan: While 3281 holds, bias remains for a grind higher toward 3387 and ultimately 3482. Should 3281 fail, we reassess at the mid-line for the next structured long setup. We remain patient and continue reacting to clean structure backed opportunities. Mr Gold GoldViewFX
