Gold weekly chart with buy and sell levels * **Timeframe:** 1-Hour (H1) * **Instrument:** XAU/USD * **Indicators & Levels Used:** * EMAs 9 & 21 period * Key horizontal support/resistance levels * Pivot levels (weekly, daily, monthly) * Marked **Buy** at 3322.365 and **Sell** at 3318 * Daily Open: 3372.775 * Daily High: 3414.790 * Daily Close: 3305.980 * Daily Low: 3286.805 --- ### 🔍 **Technical Analysis:** #### 1. **Trend Context:** * The overall **short-term trend** is sideways to slightly bearish. * Recent price action formed **lower highs and higher lows**, indicating **consolidation**. * Price is currently trading **below the Daily Open** (bearish intraday bias). * EMAs are converging, showing **reduced momentum** after prior volatility. #### 2. **Buy Entry at 3322.365:** * This is a **reasonable support-retest buy**, taken just above a former demand zone and near the **Daily Close**. * Likely logic: price bounced from the **3310–3318 support area**, tested the weekly pivot zone and EMAs, signaling a bounce. * **However**, the proximity to strong resistance at 3340–3350, and lack of strong momentum, suggests this buy was short-lived or scalped. * **Risk:** Weak buying pressure above this level and failure to reclaim 3340 meant it couldn't reach 3360+. #### 3. **Sell Entry at 3318:** * This is a **strategic sell**, probably expecting a break below short-term structure and aiming for the 3300/3288 area. * Price tested the EMAs and was rejected—classic **pullback entry after lower high**. * A clear **bearish setup**: break below structure, retest and failure at dynamic resistance. * **Target zones:** * 3300 – psychological round number + minor support * 3288/3278 – structural lows * 3240 – weekly support and major reaction zone #### 4. **Key Levels & Zones:** * **Resistance:** * 3340: Short-term cap * 3368 – 3382: Supply area * 3418 – 3450: Strong resistance, but far from current price * **Support:** * 3310 – 3300: Near-term support * 3288 – 3278: Major demand zone (watch for buy reaction) * 3240: Weekly support – high-probability reaction zone if reached #### 5. **EMA Structure:** * EMAs are turning sideways, but currently acting as dynamic resistance. * Price attempted to reclaim them during the Asian/early European session but was rejected — bearish signal. #### 6. **Market Sentiment:** * Momentum has cooled. * Failure to maintain above 3340 signals weak bullish conviction. * With price below daily open and rejecting the EMAs, bias is now **tilted bearish** unless 3340 is reclaimed convincingly. --- ### ✅ **Conclusion & Strategy:** * **Bias:** Bearish below 3340; neutral between 3300–3340; bullish above 3360. * **If holding short from 3318:** This is a solid entry. Consider partial profits at 3300/3288 and trailing stop to break-even. * **If looking for re-entry:** * Sell pullbacks below 3325 if 3300 is broken. * Buy only with confirmation above 3340 and reclaim of 3360. * **Upcoming key areas to watch:** * **3288 – 3278:** Ideal for long entries with tight stops (watch for bounce/candlestick reversal patterns). * **3368 – 3382:** Strong rejection zone if price reclaims 3340—good for short setups.

Gold Technical Analysis, May 9📊Gold stabilized and rebounded after a rapid decline in early trading today. The price broke through the 3324 line, which opened in the morning, and the technical pattern turned to a bullish pattern. Usually in a weak market, the price will not rebound sharply, but this bottoming out and rebound has obviously swallowed up the downward momentum, indicating that the short-term upward trend is expected to continue. 📊From the weekly structure, this week showed a "wide range of fluctuations" rhythm. It rose continuously on Monday and Tuesday, and fell sharply on Wednesday and Thursday, and continued to fluctuate violently on Friday. Although the market has ups and downs, it is still running in the oscillation range as a whole, with obvious characteristics of washing the market, and it is more likely to be a potential adjustment before the subsequent surge. 📊From the hourly line, 3324 is the opening of this round of decline. After being effectively broken, the price returned to the bull-dominated range, indicating that the current trend is not weak. If the US market can continue to hold the support of the morning low of 3315, the short-term bullish logic will be further established, and gold is expected to gradually rise to the 3350-3360 area. 📊For the current trading strategy, it is recommended that investors avoid chasing ups and downs in the context of large range fluctuations. It is safer to adopt the method of buying on dips and gradually increasing positions. If the price falls back to 3280 or below, you can consider buying in batches and use 3310 as a short-term stop loss defense. 🔴Resistance level: 3360-3370 🟢Support level 1: 3310-3315 🟢Support level 2: 3280 ✅The market has shown an obvious long-short double-kill pattern this week, with the overall trend dominated by Trump-related news, disrupting the existing rhythm of technical analysis. Despite this, we still insist on using a smaller stop loss to control risks and keep losses to a minimum as much as possible. The overall performance is still significantly better than most individual traders in the market. ✅This weekend, Trump will start a new round of negotiations with China on trade tariffs, and the tariff dispute that has lasted for more than a month is expected to come to an end. As the impact of the news gradually weakens, the market is expected to return to the rhythm dominated by the technical side, which will bring us more predictable trading opportunities. ✅We have reason to believe that with a clear market rhythm, we will have more opportunities to further achieve stable profits next week🤝

Gold (XAU/USD) Analysis – 1H🏛 1. Current Market Structure 📈 After a strong upward impulse, gold has now pulled back into a Bull OTE zone, aligned with a key trendline acting as a dynamic support. 📐 This setup could indicate a potential bullish rebound, especially if the market views this pullback as a healthy retracement before a larger continuation. 🌍 2. Bigger Picture Outlook 🔍 The recent rejection at the Bear OTE highlights the presence of strong supply at higher levels. ⚠️ However, the current bounce from the Bull OTE could either be the start of a larger bullish leg targeting the Bear OTE again – or just a technical bounce before a deeper correction, especially if the FED hints at rate cuts in June or July. 🔍 3. Key Technical Observations 🟦 Bear OTE: Clear rejection, confirming this as a key resistance for now. 🟦 Bull OTE: Providing initial support, coupled with a trendline bounce, adding confluence for a potential move up. 📐 Trendline Support: Critical for maintaining the current bullish structure, a break here could signal a deeper retracement. 🎯 4. Short-Term Expectations 📉 Bearish Scenario: Rejection from the Bull OTE Break below the trendline Deeper pullback towards the Supply Zone or even the 50% retracement level 📈 Bullish Scenario: Clean break above the Bull OTE Retest of the Bear OTE (~$3,500) Possible breakout if volume supports the move 🔥 5. Upcoming Catalysts 🕰 FED rate decision in June/July – potential rate cuts could shift sentiment. 💰 Inflation and economic data: Key drivers for gold’s short-term direction. 🔎 Volume and order flow: Crucial to confirm any true breakout. ✅ Conclusion 👉 Gold is at a critical junction, testing a Bull OTE with a supporting trendline – a key moment for determining the next major leg. 📍 Key levels to watch: Bear OTE (~$3,500) Bull OTE (~$3,300 - $3,320) Trendline support – a break here could invalidate the bullish thesis ⏳ As always, stay alert for fakeouts and liquidity grabs around these levels.

XAUUSD 12/5/25Following our change in bias last week on gold, we continued to follow the bearish narrative into new lows after taking out the highs we identified at the beginning of the week. Now, we're looking for a similar setup — a potential pullback into those previous highs to give us the shift downward we’re anticipating. That said, I believe gold may have more potential to move directly into our target zones without a significant pullback. Still, we keep that scenario on the table, as it's part of the trading plans we build from these key levels. Of course, we don’t expect price action to simply go bullish and hand us perfect shorting opportunities. But we do believe that if price pulls back into certain areas, it could continue to deliver the downside movement we’re expecting. Remember, we’re following a rule set. We’re sticking to our risk parameters and allowing the system to guide us. We’re not trading just because price moved down — we had a clear understanding of what we wanted to see, and price continues to respect that structure. Stick to your plan, follow your risk, and let Orion lead the way. Orion is bearish, and so are we. Trade safe. Stick to your plan. Always follow Orion.

Gold – Focus on the Specific Details of US/China Trade TalksGold prices rallied 0.6% on Friday to close at 3325 as traders rushed to obtain some safe haven protection against the uncertainty of whether the outcome of trade negotiations between the US and China, taking place in Geneva over the weekend, may yield positive or negative results which could have significantly impact all markets on the Monday open. Roll forward 2 days and Gold has fallen to a low of 3259 (at time of writing) in early Monday trading as traders digest and then react to both the US and China reporting ‘substantial progress’ in their talks. This news seems to have initially boosted risk sentiment and reduced the need for traders to own Gold as a hedge, at least for now anyway. While light on detail, initial reports indicate that the trade teams from the world’s two biggest economies have agreed to create a mechanism for further talks. US Treasury Secretary Bessant and Trade representative Greer are expected to hold a press briefing later this morning to share more specific details, so there is room for disappointment, which could see Gold rally back to higher levels, or more progress than anticipated by markets, which may see Gold extend its sell off down to potential key technical support levels. Technical Update: Decision Making Progress Develops On April 24th 2025, we published a commentary on Gold, highlighting its inability to break above the psychological round number resistance at 3500, from which a sell-off was developing. Please look back at our timeline to read our thoughts at that time. The setback from these all-time highs at 3500 did extend further, and tests of 3228, which was equal to the 50% Fibonacci retracement (April 7th to April 22nd 2025 price strength) did materialise. After initially seeing the strong bounce from 3228 last week, it appears that traders may be focusing on this level as a possible important support over coming sessions. What is the Current Situation for Gold? While much will depend on future price trends and market sentiment, it could be suggested that recent price activity in Gold since the April 22nd session all-time high, has established both upper and lower extremes of a developing sideways range, between 3228 and 3500. This type of sideways activity represents something of a ‘balance’ between both buyers and sellers of Gold. Price strength has been met by selling pressure at 3500, while buyers have materialised around 3228, the 50% retracement level. However, it could even be suggested after the price weakness from last Tuesday’s 3435 session high, immediate resistance could now be lowered to this 3435 level. Predicting the direction of an eventual range breakout is difficult, and we must wait for either a confirmed closing break below 3228, or above 3435 to suggest the next possible direction of a more sustained phase of price movement. Until such a breakout materialises, extension of the choppy sideways activity, as seen recently, could continue. Upside Focus: If potential is to turn towards further attempts to extend price strength, it may well be suggested by closes above last week’s 3435 high. While breaks of these 3435 extremes won’t be a guarantee of price strength, it might lead to retests of the psychological 3500 high, even towards 3570, which is the 300% Fibonacci extension of the October 31st to November 14th 2024 decline. Downside Focus: To the downside, traders may well continue to focus on the 3228 Fibonacci retracement level as support, with closing breaks perhaps pointing to risks for further price declines. Such moves may then lead to weakness towards 3164, which is the lower 61.8% retracement level.

#Gold ( #XAUUSD ) Analysis for the Upcoming WeekAnalysis for the Upcoming Week Date: Sunday, May 11, 2025 Chart Overview Timeframe: Daily (1D) Current Price: $3,325.39 Key Levels: Resistance Zone: $3,347.54 – $3,359.35 (IMB - Imbalance area) Support Zone: $3,195.83 – $3,176.18 Technical Analysis 1. Price Action Gold has recently shown a bearish move from the $3,420 area, retracing to the current $3,325 zone. The chart highlights a potential supply/imbalance (IMB) zone between $3,347.54 and $3,359.35, where sellers may become active again. 2. Trade Setup Short Bias: The marked red zone indicates a potential sell area. If price retraces back to the IMB zone ($3,347.54–$3,359.35), sellers may look for short entries. Target: The green area suggests a take-profit zone around $3,195.83–$3,176.18, aligning with previous support. 3. Risk Management Stop Loss: Above the IMB zone, ideally above $3,359.35, to protect against a breakout. Risk/Reward: The setup offers a favorable risk/reward, with the stop loss relatively tight compared to the potential downside. Fundamental Considerations Monitor upcoming US economic data (CPI, PPI, Fed statements), as these can impact gold prices. Geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns may provide underlying support, but technicals currently favor a retracement. Trading Plan for the Week Wait for Retracement: Watch for price to move back into the $3,347–$3,359 IMB zone. Look for Bearish Confirmation: Seek reversal candlestick patterns or rejection wicks in the IMB zone before entering a short position. Target Previous Lows: Aim for the $3,195–$3,176 support area for profit-taking. Adjust if Breakout Occurs: If price closes above $3,360 on the daily, reassess the bearish outlook. Summary: Gold is likely to face resistance in the $3,347–$3,359 zone. If price shows rejection here, a move down toward $3,195–$3,176 is probable. Watch for confirmation before entering trades and manage risk carefully.

Gold (XAU/USD) – 4H Analysis 📉 Recent Move Gold saw a sharp decline yesterday and into this morning, driven by a shift in market sentiment — possibly due to renewed appetite for risk assets. However, the price has now posted a strong reaction off a key BULL OTE zone, drawn from the full move $2,960 → $3,500, which suggests this could be a healthy retracement in a broader bullish structure. 📌 Key Observations 📍 Bull OTE: Clean reaction from the optimal retracement zone, showing buyer interest at value. ⬜️ Supply Zone around $3,230 : This level has acted as a cap, and a re-entry into this range would be a strong sign of bullish continuation. 📉 Bear OTE rejection + supply cluster near $3,300 : Previous rejection from this area adds weight to the current downward pressure. ⚠️ Volume + RSI : Still neutral – watch for momentum confirmation on any breakout attempt. 🎯 Scenarios to Monitor 📈 Bullish Continuation If the price reclaims the $3,230 range, we can consider the recent drop a clean correction. That would suggest the uptrend is ready to resume toward the $3,400–$3,500 zone. 📉 Risk-Off Shift If gold fails to hold above the current OTE zone and breaks below $3,080, it could confirm a deeper profit-taking wave, possibly signaling a temporary shift back to risk-on assets like equities or crypto. ✅ Conclusion We’re at a pivotal point: Above $3,230 → bullish structure resumes Below $3,080 → watch for more downside toward $3,000–$2,960 Gold remains technically bullish long-term, but the next 4H candles will be decisive for the short-to-mid-term momentum.

Gold market analysis reference.After gold fell below 3202, it rebounded to 3198 at its highest. This rebound was just an oversold rebound, and then it continued to fall back. The pattern has weakened and it is difficult to rise again. Weak shorts can hardly get past 3198. The short-term support below is 3140/3150. Gold 1-hour still continues to cross downward short positions, and the strength of the shorts is still there. The rebound continues to give shorts opportunities. There is no obvious sustained upward momentum in the short term, and gold rebounds continue to be short. In terms of gold short-term operation ideas, it is recommended to short on rebounds and long on pullbacks. The short-term focus on the upper side is 3202-3205 resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is 3150-3155 support.

Gold Eyes Upside Break – Bullish Outlook for Swing TradersGold (XAUUSD) continues to show strength on the 4-hour chart, maintaining its bullish structure and offering a compelling opportunity for swing traders. The market has recently rejected a key support zone, confirming buyer interest and momentum continuation. Key Technical Observations Support Zone Rejection: Price strongly rejected the $3,199–$3,265 support zone, forming a clear bullish response. This zone also coincides with the rising trendline, adding strength to the support. Trendline Confirmation: The dotted green ascending trendline has been respected multiple times, reinforcing the ongoing uptrend. Consolidation Breakout: After consolidating for nearly 3 days, price broke above the range, confirming bullish intent. All-Time High Target: The next major resistance lies near the all-time high at $3,504, which acts as the primary upside target. Trade Setup Entry Level: $3,338 (after breakout from consolidation) Take Profit (TP): $3,504 Stop Loss (SL): $3,265 Risk-Reward Ratio: Approximately 2.28 Gold is clearly bullish on the 4-hour timeframe. The trendline bounce, support zone defense, and breakout from consolidation provide a solid basis for swing traders aiming to capture a move toward the all-time high. As long as price remains above the $3,265 level, bullish positions remain valid.
