Gold delivering side SwingsTechnical analysis: After today’s E.U. session excellent Bearish Short-term opening and clear Technical Selling signal, Fundamentals didn't managed to distort (as seen many times lately) Technical proper trend and from a clear #3,327.80 and main Support mild-aggressive break-out, Gold didn't recovered and tested #3,200.80 benchmark with almost #50-point Intra-day spread in Bear direction. Personally, reason behind it was market speculators pulling the DX (# +0.27%) back towards the Resistance zone, preventing further downtrend on #4-session horizon. Gold is on decline again driven by known factors and keeping almost (# +9.02%) gains comparing on Monthly (#1M) chart which strongly affected Technical values. That not much Buyers expected today’s mini Selling scenario - confirms the small Buying Volume where Gold is unable to reverse from current psychological benchmark. Sellers appear in good health off Swing once Support is now turned in Resistance at #3,327.80. Further Selling from current Price-action draws in Support at #3,252.80 (June #29 spike similarities) which is by my estimations really hard to reach since I can't count out that Gold is still on a Bullish perspective and I see this downside spike as an good re-Buy point as cycle is showcasing / every similar decline on Gold was just another accumulation zone for new Bullish multi-Month uptrend extension. What’s also interesting to mention that Gold soared even though DX was soaring as well, indicating elemental Volatile trend on Gold and almost all market classes. While Weekly chart’s (#1W) Price-action showcases that Gold is less likely heading for Lower levels, Fundamental side flow will reveal the major move (and how DX will digest it). I am enjoying current Price-action suitable for both Buyers and Sellers of the market and monitor DX to position yourself properly.
Gold rangingTechnical analysis: Gold naturally found Buyers as Buying pressure is evident on the charts from DX on Selling sequence and #3,262.80 Support preserved. It is important to note that #3,352.80 benchmark represents next Resistance zone, which was near Weekly (#1W) High’s as Price-action could find strong rejection there (as it did throughout Asian session) and deny the Buying response in extension. If broken, Price-action will be calling for #3,362.80 - #3,372.80 Resistance extension which may represent the local Top's for now and for current fractal. I will engage my orders accordingly and wait for suitable entry even though I have closed my Selling order on #3,288.80 ahead of the final push above the Resistance. However, Gold re-tested and was again rejected on the Hourly 4 chart’s Support keeping the Bullish bias alive. The Engulfing candle Bearish reversal candle on Hourly 1 chart succeeded at rejecting the Price-action and catching already the #32% Fibonacci level. I expect the last Daily chart’s candle to test again the #3,252.80 former Resistance now turned to Support when DX finds the Support zone and engages relief rally.
My position: I am currently Trading with caution as Fundamental side can deliver aggressive side Swing anytime, however I am taking excellent Scalp orders since Price-action is delivering optimal configuration to do so.
GOLD, hibernated - and its good. More energy for MORE RISE AHEADSignal: LONG GOLD
After going parabolic this past few days -- hitting a series of ATH on daily basis, Gold finally took some well deserved respite, and hibernated to tap previous resistance turned support area.
Price is now basing again at this discounted zone -- an ideal seeding area.
Fib tap at 38.2 has been spotted. This is where most buyers converge.
The growth prospect of this next phase in progress is a bit on the generous side. A possible 2500 pip scenario from the current price range.
Long at current price 3330.
Target 3650.
TAYOR. Trade safely.
Can gold continue its decline and hit a new low?Gold price is currently trading below 3330. The downward trend in the Asian session fell below 3313, and our short position also successfully harvested a wave of big profits. Gold price showed signs of rebound at the beginning of the European session. Now the upper suppression level can be moved down. The short-term suppression refers to 3330, followed by the second highest point on the way up to 3357; the lower support focuses on 3285, and after effectively breaking it, we can focus on 3245. Now the gold price is trading near the low point of 3318. The prudent operation idea is to short at 3320 for protection at 3331 to see the gold price go to 3285. After the break, wait for the rebound of 3300 and go short again to see the position of 3245. It is not recommended to participate in long positions.
On the whole, today's short-term operation of gold recommends shorting mainly on rebounds, supplemented by longs on callbacks. The top short-term focus is on the first-line resistance of 3320-3330, and the bottom short-term focus is on the first-line support of 3285-3245.
Short order strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches when it rebounds to around 3320-3325, stop loss 6 points, target around 3290-3260, and look at 3245 if it breaks;
Long order strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3245-3250, stop loss 6 points, target around 3280-3290, and look at 3300 if it breaks;

XAU/USD at a Critical Juncture: Uncovering the Key Levels for ApHere is the technical analysis of the gold/US dollar (XAU/USD) pair on the daily timeframe for today, April 18, 2025, identifying key support and resistance levels based on the latest available data:
⸻
🔹 Current Price:
The price of gold reached an all-time high of $3,357.40 per ounce, driven by growing concerns about tariffs, which Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell described as "much larger" than expected, leading to slower economic growth and higher inflation.
⸻
📊 Technical Analysis (Daily Timeframe):
• Overall trend: Upward, with higher highs and lows, indicating continued positive momentum.
• Moving Averages: The price is trading above all major moving averages, including the 20-day simple moving average at $3,114.60, supporting the uptrend.
• Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI remains in the overbought zone, which could indicate a potential short-term price correction.
⸻
🔻 Key Support Levels:
1. $3,317.20 – Immediate support reflecting a previous high.
2. $3,305.65 – Medium-term support.
3. $3,292.80 – Additional support reflecting a previous consolidation zone.
⸻
🔺 Key Resistance Levels:
1. $3,335.00 – Current resistance that was recently tested.
2. $3,350.00 – Important psychological resistance level.
3. $3,375.00 – Potential resistance if the upward momentum continues.
⸻
⚠️ Additional Notes:
• Technical indicators are showing overbought signals, which could lead to a short-term price correction.
• In the event of a correction, the above-mentioned support levels may be potential entry points for investors.
• Upward momentum remains intact, but it is advisable to closely monitor technical indicators to identify appropriate entry and exit points.
XAUUSD Today's Operation StrategyLooking back on our previous analyses, we have repeatedly emphasized the close correlation between the easing of tariff issues and the pullback in the price of gold 🔍. Now, based on the judgment of the latest market dynamics, today's trading strategy for gold still maintains short selling as its main tone 📉. Here, we solemnly remind all freelance traders that to avoid the risk of account liquidation caused by drastic market fluctuations, it is advisable to stay away from taking long positions as much as possible ⚠️
From a technical analysis perspective, the range between 3380 and 3360 has established a solid resistance barrier 🚧. Once the gold price rises and reaches this area, there is a high probability that it will encounter strong selling pressure and decline 📉. This is precisely the optimal time to place short orders 📝. Additionally, the price range of 3330 - 3320 deserves special attention 👀. As the starting point of a large bullish candlestick on the hourly chart, it also serves as a potential support level for long positions during retracements 📈. At the same time, the gain or loss of the key support level of 3280 below is of great significance 📊. If this support level is effectively broken, it indicates that the bearish forces have full control of the market, and the gold price may initiate a new round of decline ⬇️. The next target level can be focused on around 3195 🎯. It is crucial to keep in mind that in the actual trading process, formulating a rigorous SL and TP strategy and reasonably managing the position size are the keys to stable trading 🔑

Gold remains short today!Before this round of gold plunge, there was a strong pull-up from a high position, and the record was reached at 3500. How many people bought too much at a high position. In the end, the market fell sharply, and there was no decent rebound at all, giving you a chance to escape. Therefore, trading cannot only focus on profits, but also take into account risks. When the media reports it, you must be careful, there is no eternal rise or fall.

GOLD Getting Ready for Another Run!Gold is looking strong heading into the next few weeks. Real-world catalysts are stacking up:
Central banks are still aggressively buying gold (China and other BRICS nations are steadily increasing reserves).
Geopolitical tensions (Middle East, Russia/Ukraine) are keeping safe-haven demand alive.
U.S. economic data is showing signs of a slowdown — with weaker job reports and cooling inflation, expectations for rate cuts later this year are rising.
The dollar has softened a bit recently, giving gold room to breathe.
Technically, gold is holding key support levels and building momentum for a potential breakout. If economic data continues to weaken or geopolitical risks stay elevated, gold could quickly retest recent highs.
Gold price stabilized again, trading around 3300⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold price (XAU/USD) found fresh buying interest during the Asian session on Wednesday, pausing its pullback from the previous day’s record high near $3,500. Attempts by the US Dollar (USD) to rebound from multi-year lows faltered, as investor confidence in the US economic outlook continues to erode amid President Donald Trump’s erratic tariff policy shifts.
Additionally, growing expectations of more aggressive monetary easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed) have triggered renewed selling pressure on the greenback. This, in turn, has reinforced demand for the non-yielding yellow metal, helping gold regain upward momentum as investors seek shelter from mounting economic and policy uncertainty.
⭐️Personal comments NOVA:
The slowdown and downward adjustment of gold are inevitable. Profit-taking psychology and cooling news of tariffs and Russia-Ukraine military forces caused gold prices to fall.

Gold fluctuates in a range and corrects sideways! Trend AnalysisAnalysis of gold market trends next Monday:
Technical analysis of gold: From the performance of the daily chart, the recent trend of gold prices has shown a high consolidation trend, and there has been a significant correction from the high point near $3,500. After hitting the low point of the week, the gold price rebounded to a certain extent, but the rebound strength was blocked near the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level (about $3,368-3,370), which has now become an important short-term resistance. The opening trend of the gold market on Friday was like Thursday, and the Asian session started to pull up and rise all the way to around $3,370. However, it encountered strong resistance here, and then turned downward and started to fall. It is worth noting that today's gold price not only failed to break through this key resistance level, but also fell below the low point hit by yesterday's European and American sessions, and rebounded after reaching a minimum of $3,265.
From the current market structure, the position of $3,260 has become the focus of the market, and investors need to pay close attention to whether the gold price can reach or even fall below this point. Once it effectively breaks, the bearish trend will be further strengthened, and the market may usher in a deeper adjustment. From the current form, there are two Yins enveloping Yangs, so the adjustment will continue at the beginning of next week; of course, this adjustment can be replaced by sideways trading, which means that it is not ruled out that it will run back and forth in the 3260-3380 range. On the whole, the short-term operation strategy for gold next Monday is recommended to be mainly long on pullbacks, supplemented by short on rebounds. The short-term focus on the upper resistance of 3368-3370, and the short-term focus on the lower support of 3265-3260. Friends must keep up with the rhythm. It is necessary to control the position and stop loss, set stop loss strictly, and do not resist single operation. The specific points are mainly based on real-time intraday trading. Welcome to experience and exchange real-time market conditions.
Reference for gold operation strategy next Monday: Strategy 1: Short gold rebounds near 3368-3370, target near 3300-3285, and look at the 3260 line when it breaks.
Strategy 2: Go long on gold when it pulls back to around 3265-3270, target around 3290-3330, and look at the 3370 line if it breaks.
XAUUSD Opening Trends and Trading Strategies Should the downward trend persist and breach the 3265 mark 🔻, the subsequent support level to watch closely will be 3195. Conversely, in the event that this key resistance holds firm 🛡️, there's a strong likelihood of a rebound kicking in as early as next week 📈!

GOLD 4H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATE & TRADING PLAN FOR THE WEEKHey Everyone,
Please see our updated 4h chart levels and targets for the coming week.
We are seeing price play between two weighted levels with a gap above at 3330 and a gap below at 3282. We will need to see ema5 cross and lock on either weighted level to determine the next range. We have a bigger range in play then usual.
We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range.
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.

Gold operation strategy suggestionsFrom a technical perspective, gold, as an interest-free safe-haven asset, has performed strongly this year, with prices soaring by nearly $700 and repeatedly hitting record highs. However, the recent optimistic expectations of easing global economic and trade relations are gradually boosting market risk appetite, and the equity market is generally showing a positive trend. Some funds are withdrawing from safe-haven assets such as gold and flowing into risky assets, which has become the main psychological driving factor for gold prices to be under pressure. If market risk appetite continues to improve, global economic and trade relations are further eased, and the dollar strengthens, gold prices may face greater downward pressure, and the initial support level will test $3,260/ounce. If this support level is lost, gold prices may further drop to $3,225/ounce, or even challenge the integer mark of $3,200/ounce. In addition, if the US economic data performs strongly, the market's expectations for the Fed's interest rate cut may further cool, which will also put additional downward pressure on gold prices.
For gold, it is recommended to short at the 3336-3343 line when it rebounds, and to cover short positions at the 3360-3366 line when it rebounds. The stop loss is at 3373. The target is the 3310-3320 line. Continue to hold if it breaks through.
