XAUUSD: Is the Downtrend Likely to Continue?OANDA:XAUUSD is a classic case of a market continuing its downtrend after rejecting resistance within a clearly defined descending channel. This move indicates that sellers are stepping in and maintaining the bearish structure inside the channel. If the downward momentum persists, we could see a move toward the 3,250 level , which aligns with a significant internal support area within the channel. This zone could serve as a short-term target. A decisive break below this level may open the door to further declines. However, failure to sustain this bearish move could result in a retest of the upper channel boundary. Traders should watch for confirmation signals such as lower highs forming below the recent supply zone or strong bearish candles near resistance before considering short setups. If you agree with this outlook or have any additional insights, feel free to share your thoughts!

Daily Sniper Plan for Friday, May 23👋 Hey Gold Snipers, Ready to Slice Through the Noise? The market has been throwing shadows and traps all day — but structure doesn’t lie. As we head into May 23, we’ve mapped out the real levels that matter. No hype. Just clean logic. You want sniper entries? Here's where we hunt 🧠🎯 🔭 Bias for May 23: Bearish-to-Neutral Short-term bias is bearish as long as 3298 holds as resistance If bulls reclaim 3300+ with momentum, we shift into bullish continuation bias toward 3332–3345 Until then, we’re playing inside structure → fading premium, buying deep discount only on confirmation 🧭 Market Update Gold spent most of Thursday chopping inside indecision, dancing between reclaimed zones and rejected premiums. But smart money leaves a trail — and tonight, structure gave us the blueprint: CHoCH confirmed from 3345 → now forming a lower high structure EMA 5/21 still locked bearish on M15–H1, while price holds under the OB flip zone RSI is showing divergence near key demand FVGs still exposed both above and below = imbalance-driven reactions likely Momentum is building... but direction depends on how we react to these zones👇 🧩 Plan for Friday, May 23 – Built Around Key Zones 🔺 Sell Zone: 3314–3320 💥 Premium OB reaction area → If price taps and rejects, this is where shorts load → EMA 100 and previous LH sit here — high probability fade level → Watch for M5 CHoCH or bearish engulfing to trigger sniper logic ⚖️ Flip Zone: 3292–3298 🧠 Former demand turned resistance — now the pivot of truth → If price rejects here again, expect quick drop to 3260s → BUT... if bulls reclaim and hold above 3300, this flips the script → In that case, structure opens doors to: 🟡3314 🟡3332 Even 3345+ (liquidity sweep zone) We adapt with structure — not emotions. 🟩 Buy Zone #1: 3263–3273 ✅ CHoCH support base + FVG + RSI bounce → This is sniper ground if price returns here cleanly → Look for EMA 5/21 bull lock + M15 BOS → Reactive zone, not for the impulsive — confirmation or nothing 🟩 Buy Zone #2: 3242–3250 🔑 Deep liquidity sweep + fib 78–88.6% → If price runs the 3260 zone and traps liquidity, this is the reload zone → Needs strong wick + RSI divergence + internal BOS to act ❌ Breakdown/Invalidation Zone: 3222–3230 🚨 Below here = no more sniper longs → Structure flips HTF bearish → If it breaks with volume and OB rejection on retest = prepare for deeper slide 🧠 Final Thoughts: This isn’t about signals. It’s about structure. Gold moves best when we wait — not when we guess. We mapped every key zone. Now we wait for confirmation, follow the logic, and let the amateurs get baited in between. 🎯 Bias stays bearish under 3298. Above 3300, we start building toward higher liquidity zones — but confirmation is king. 💬 Let me know which zone you're watching. 🔁 Share this plan if it helped clarify your direction. 🟡 Like + Follow GoldFxMinds for sniper-level structure — every session.

Trump's tariffs roiled markets; gold roseOn the U.S. trading session of May 23, Trump's tariff remarks on the EU and Apple hit the market like a storm 🌪️. He announced that a staggering 50% tariff would be imposed on EU goods starting from June 1, citing "unfair trade practices." Meanwhile, he threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if iPhones sold in the U.S. were not manufactured domestically. This news sent gold prices soaring 🚀. As a safe-haven asset, gold surged amid investors' concerns about global economic impacts. The previously firm 3280 support level became increasingly critical in the upward trend. If the tariff dispute remains unresolved and tensions continue between the U.S., the EU, and enterprises like Apple, the upward momentum of gold prices may persist. Analysts note that gold is likely to break through the 3500 mark 🏔️—tariffs disrupt global supply chains and raise inflation fears in the U.S., driving investors to flock to gold to hedge against economic and currency risks. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ XAUUSD ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 🚀 Buy@ 3340 - 3360 🚀 TP 3400 - 3450 Accurate signals are updated every day 📈 If you encounter any problems during trading, these signals can serve as your reliable guide 🧭 Feel free to refer to them! I sincerely hope they'll be of great help to you 🌟 👇

Gold Price Forecast: Bullish Channel Points to $3,388 TargetGold (XAU/USD) is trading in a strong ascending channel on the 45-minute chart, currently at $3,357.51 (+1.91%). Repeated bullish bounces off the channel’s lower boundary (highlighted in orange) reinforce the uptrend. With support from a green trailing indicator and recent breakout momentum, the next target is projected near $3,388.88. Watch for continued strength above the $3,330 zone for confirmation. Chart Analysis: Gold (XAU/USD) – 45-Minute Timeframe Trend Structure: The price is moving within a well-defined ascending channel, indicating a strong bullish trend. Higher highs and higher lows are consistently formed, respecting both the upper and lower bounds of the channel. Key Observations: 1. Support Validation: Multiple successful retests of the lower trendline (highlighted with orange circles) show solid demand and trend continuation behavior. These retests occur with minimal drawdown, suggesting buyers are stepping in confidently at channel support. 2. Bullish Momentum: The recent price breakout above consolidation (seen around May 24-25) shows renewed bullish interest. The price is also supported by a trailing green indicator (likely an EMA or a dynamic support line), which the price remains above — a further bullish confirmation. 3. Short-Term Target: Projected target of $3,388.878 aligns with the upper bound of the ascending channel, making it a logical resistance level. If this level is breached with strong volume, it could open the door for continuation toward $3,400+.

Gold bears will dominate the marketFrom the market point of view, the delay of the Fed's policy shift and the mitigation of geopolitical risks have a double-kill effect: on the one hand, high interest rates limit the attractiveness of gold; on the other hand, the retreat of safe-haven buying has intensified selling pressure. In the short term, pay attention to the support of the 3240-3250 range. If it fails, it may drop to the psychological level of 3200; but after oversold, be wary of technical rebounds. The 3280-3300 line above will become a key resistance. Be cautious in chasing orders, and the trend is mainly rebound shorting. Gold recommendation: short near the rebound of 3282-3287, stop loss 3295, target 3253

Gold on downside attemptTechnical analysis: Descending Channel on Hourly 4 chart was discontinued however there is an attempt on the same chart to develop Ascending Channel and extend the Intra-day’s relief rally above #3,352.80 psychological benchmark. My action plan remains intact as I will continue operating with High Volumed Scalp orders as long as #3,292.80 - #3,352.80 Neutral zone holds (so far it hasn't been crossed again) and reversal towards #3,300.80 benchmark if #3,342.80 - #3,352.80 Resistance zone breaks. Consider the Lower High’s Upper zone test on the Daily chart’s scale, while Hourly 4 chart should turn Bearish on my key indicators. Very fair sequence throughout Friday's session where slide on DX added heavy Buying pressure on Gold while today’s Bullish developments (DX as well) had smaller impact than it had on Friday’s session. Sequence was counterbalanced by Bond Yields plunge which preserved Higher values on Gold where Price-action was unable to extend the optimal #3,352.80 Resistance break-out, and Naturally rejection occurred. My position: While aggressively Buying throughout Friday's session (especially U.S. opening Bell aftermath), I will have decreased Trading activity today due Bank holiday.

DeGRAM | GOLD moving in the range📊 Technical Analysis ● Rebound has met triple confluence: the H4 rising-wedge apex, the red 3 300-3 350 supply, and the roof of the broader descending channel – the same zone that capped rallies on 7 & 9 May. ● Bearish divergence appears on RSI while the wedge’s base is rising toward 3 284; a 4 h close beneath it should unlock the channel mid-line/blue trend support at 3 172, then the floor near 3 100. 💡 Fundamental Analysis ● US data stay firm – weekly jobless claims held near 227 k and May flash PMIs beat consensus, keeping 2-yr yields parked just under 5 % and the dollar bid. ● World Gold Council notes a fifth straight week of ETF outflows as higher opportunity cost dents investment demand. ✨ Summary Fade strength inside 3 300-3 350; wedge breakdown < 3 284 aims 3 172 → 3 100. Shorts invalidated on a sustained H4 close above 3 350. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with a like. Thanks for your support!

XAUUSD: Market Analysis and Strategy for May 27Gold technical analysis Daily chart resistance 3350-3400, support below 3284 Four-hour chart resistance 3350, support below 3284 One-hour chart resistance 3322, support below 3300 Gold news analysis: On Monday (May 26) during the European session, gold prices began to fall as the US market was closed for Memorial Day and Trump postponed the threat of "directly imposing 50% tariffs" on the European Union. This delay reduced safe-haven demand, but broader market drivers are still favorable to gold's bullish outlook. Gold operation suggestions: From the current trend analysis, the key support below focuses on the 3284 mark, and the upper pressure focuses on the suppression near the four-hour level 3350 line. The short-term resistance focuses on 3322, and the short-term long-short strength and weakness dividing line focuses on 3284. If the daily chart closes below this position, it will completely open up the downside space. BUY:3284near SL:3279 SELL:3322near SL:3327 SELL：3284near SL:3289

GOLD rises impressively after mid-May declineUS President Trump once again used tariffs and the market's risk-off sentiment suddenly heated up. OANDA:XAUUSD jumped nearly 2% on Friday and the weekly gain reached nearly 5%. OANDA:XAUUSD has grown impressively after a sharp decline in mid-May, taking advantage of safe-haven flows, the recovery was mainly due to growing investor concerns about the sustainability of US government debt. The market will likely continue to react to headlines surrounding the difficult US fiscal situation, trade relations and geopolitics. On Friday local time, US President Trump said on his social media platform "Real Social" that he proposed to impose a 50% tariff on the European Union from June 1. Trump wrote that the main purpose of the establishment of the European Union was to "take advantage of the United States on trade". In addition, on Friday local time, Trump posted on "Real Social" that he had long told Apple CEO Tim Cook that he expected Apple's iPhones sold in the United States to be produced and manufactured in the United States, not in India or anywhere else. Trump said that otherwise, Apple would have to pay at least a 25% tariff to the United States. Assessing the situation surrounding Trump "Trump has been vocal in the past 24 hours, threatening to impose 50% tariffs on the European Union starting June 1, imposing major sanctions on Apple and taking on Harvard University, all of which have weighed on stocks but boosted gold prices. Recurrent tariff concerns, coupled with low liquidity ahead of the long weekend, could exacerbate volatility." Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, gold has achieved its initial upside target at $3,371 which is the technical confluence of the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement with the upper edge of the price channel after receiving support from the confluence of the EMA21 with the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement. In the short term, if gold breaks $3,371 it will tend to continue its bullish trend with the next target being $3,400 in the short term, more so than the last $3,435 which is the all-time high of $3,500. As long as gold remains within/above the channel, the overall trend outlook is bullish, and the immediate support is currently around the $3,300 raw price point area with the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement level and EMA21. In case of a sell-off below $3,292, gold could still find short-term support at the $3,250 technical point and the 0.50% Fibonacci retracement level. In terms of momentum, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is pointing up from around the 50 mark, with the RSI still well above the overbought zone, suggesting room for further upside. Looking ahead, the overall technical outlook for gold is bullish, with key points to watch out for as follows. Support: $3,300 – $3,292 – $3,250 Resistance: $3,371 – $3,400 – $3,435 SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3391 - 3389⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3395 →Take Profit 1 3383 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3377 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3299 - 3301⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3295 →Take Profit 1 3307 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3313

Mr. President repeatedly wavered, new trend?Last Friday, Trump threatened to escalate the trade war again, suggesting that a 50% tariff be imposed on the EU from June 1. The US dollar index continued to decline during the day, falling to a low of around 99. Due to increased risk aversion demand, spot gold once rose by more than 2%, reaching a daily high of $3,365. At the opening of this Monday, Trump issued a statement to postpone the imposition of tariffs on the EU, extending the deadline for the EU to face 50% tariffs to July 9. Gold was also affected, and it has continued to rectify its downward trend this week. Yesterday, the lowest point was near 3285. From the current daily chart, the trend support line here on the daily chart has been broken. So it is very likely that there will be a short-term correction trend on the daily line next. Once the lower 3250-3260 is broken, it will directly test the lower trend line of the daily line at 3160-3170. From the 4-hour chart: We can reverse the market. If we take the previous daily low of 3160 as the target, we can see that 3285 is exactly where it stopped and stabilized yesterday. So, it is normal for 3285 to rebound and consolidate. We can also see that the range of the 4-hour chart has been broken, so 3285 may fall directly and break through next. Then the next position to pay attention to is 3260-50. If it falls below this range, we can directly see the trend line support position of 3160-70 in this round of daily lines. Trading is risky, and I hope my analysis can help traders reduce the risk of trading.
