Gold Narrative OverviewGold remains in a long-term and medium-term uptrend, while currently showing signs of a short-term pullback. Given this context, the most logical stance is to continue looking for buying opportunities. However, price has reached rather extreme levels after a sharp and uninterrupted rally in recent weeks. That’s why I lean toward the expectation of at least a temporary pause followed by a downside correction and the formation of a consolidation phase. On the local timeframe, I anticipate that the price may continue to move lower through a consolidation, targeting the previous support level around 3,201. While short-term bullish impulses are still possible, I expect the broader move to be downward. This bearish setup would be invalidated if the price breaks above 3,380.

Gold fluctuates repeatedly and is expected to fall below 3,200 📌 Driving factors The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Tuesday that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% month-on-month in April, lower than the 0.3% expected by economists. However, analysts warned that inflation may rise as tariffs gradually push up commodity prices. The United States and China announced on Monday that they would suspend tariffs for 90 days. According to the statement made by both sides after the Geneva talks last weekend, the United States will reduce tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, and China will reduce tariffs on U.S. imports from 125% to 10%. Driven by bargain hunting, gold prices rebounded on Tuesday, and the weaker-than-expected U.S. inflation data released that day also helped gold prices rise. However, trade optimism limits the strength of gold's rebound. 📊Commentary and analysis Gold fell and then rose yesterday, and the final rebound stopped at 3,266. The trend is in line with our bearish expectations. As for the repeated fluctuations in the market, it is just a futile effort! Yesterday, due to the influence of the US CPI data, although gold rose in the short term, it was still under pressure and weakened. Today, the Asian session continued to fall in the early trading. As the support position near 3210 points is approaching, aggressive shorting is no longer appropriate! In terms of trend, the 4-hour level trend of gold is still under pressure. Yesterday, it was under pressure at the 3260 line, and then the market fell back. Recently, it has maintained a trend of continuously moving down lows, and the rebound highs are gradually decreasing. It can be seen that the bulls are less willing to attack, which is different from the previous surge. Gold adjustment has become inevitable. 💰Strategy Package Rebound short: short near 3265, stop loss 3269, target near 3220! Labaron believes that Guaranteeing the principal is the bottom line for survival, controlling risks is the armor for survival, earning income is a stage medal, and long-term stable and continuous profit is the only certificate to finally stand up from the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Gold Price ActionHello everyone, As you can see, I've marked a fresh Supply Zone along with a Volume observation. Notice how price is rising while volume is falling — this typically indicates a lack of buying interest or that buyers are stepping back. From here, we could see two possible scenarios: Price rejects the supply zone and begins to drop Price breaks above the zone, signaling a potential continuation to the upside ⚠️ Don't forget: CPI news is scheduled for today, so be extra cautious. Make sure you manage your risk, trade smart, and stay focused. Wishing you all the best — happy trading! 📊💼

XAU/USD: Short-term Operation UpdateAt present, the gold price has broken through 3260. In the short term, we should pay attention to shorting at the resistance level of the Fibonacci retracement during the pullback. The range of 3270-3280 US dollars is the position for shorting, with a stop loss at 3295 US dollars. However, the probability of reaching this position is not high. Meanwhile, we can go long when the price retests the range of 3235-3230 US dollars. The key lies in the US CPI data during the US trading session.

Gold as a Strategic Asset: Safeguarding Wealth in Uncertain TimeOANDA:XAUUSD According to the World Gold Council, global demand for gold reached 4,974 tonnes in 2024, driven due to increased investor interest and significant purchases by central banks. Investment demand alone surged by 25% year-over-year to 1,180 tonnes, underscoring gold’s enduring relevance on the global stage. A Long-Term Commitment: Why Gold Rewards Patience When investing in gold, the time horizon plays a pivotal role in shaping strategy. Lots of investors claim to adopt a long-term approach, market behavior often reveals a different story-frequent panic selling during price dips or attempts to time the market bottom highlight a short-term mindset. Such tendencies can distort gold’s primary function as a tool for capital preservation and long-term stability. Consider this: an investor, who bought gold in the early 2000s at $270 per ounce and held it through 2025 would have seen returns exceeding 1,000%. Such example illustrates gold’s strength as a protective asset rather than a vehicle for quick gains. While the S&P 500 may have delivered similar returns over the same period, its performance is far more tied to economic cycles, making it less reliable during downturns. Unlike stocks or bonds, gold offers no dividends or interest, which might seem like a drawback at first glance. However, its independence from debt-related risks makes it a sought-after haven during periods of uncertainty, such as geopolitical tensions, currency crises, or recessions. Rethinking Gold’s Value: A Key Element in Portfolio Strategy Evaluating gold requires a shift in perspective-it’s not just a commodity like copper or oil, nor is its worth solely defined by daily price movements. Gold’s true value emerges over extended periods, serving as a complement to a well-rounded investment portfolio. Effective diversification is the cornerstone of any robust strategy, and gold often plays a critical role in mitigating risk. During market turmoil or economic crises, gold tends to either hold steady or appreciate, counterbalancing declines in other assets. Let’s take the 2008 financial crisis as an example: while the S&P 500 plummeted over 40% throughout the year, gold’s price rose from $850 per ounce at the start of 2008 to a peak of $1,000 mid-crisis, before settling around $800-$900 by year-end. This relative stability-compared to the sharp declines in equities-demonstrates gold’s ability to act as a buffer. Its lack of correlation with stocks or bonds further enhances its appeal, ensuring that portfolio losses in one area can be offset by gold’s resilience, creating a strategic safety net against economic shocks. Some Challenges of Gold Investments That We Should Note While gold is often hailed as a safe-haven asset, it comes with its own set of hurdles. Taxation is a significant consideration-in some parts of the European Union, selling physical gold may incur capital gains tax or VAT, particularly if transactions exceed certain thresholds, which can erode potential profits. Additionally, investing in physical gold, such as bars or coins, involves extra costs: storage and insurance fees can add up, while the risk of theft or loss remains a concern if not stored securely. Liquidity is another issue-selling physical gold may not always yield market value, unlike more liquid digital instruments. Moreover, gold’s only source of return is price appreciation, which isn’t guaranteed. If prices stagnate or decline, investors may face holding costs without any gains, emphasizing the importance of timing and a well-thought-out portfolio strategy. Gold’s Role: A Shield Against Uncertainty To sum it all, gold still remains a vital tool for investors aiming to preserve capital and hedge against risks in an unpredictable global environment. Its value shines brightest over the long term, requiring a disciplined approach and an understanding of broader economic trends. While not a cure-all for financial challenges, gold serves as an effective safeguard against market volatility when integrated into a long-term strategy, offering stability where traditional assets may falter.

Market Context Using TPO Profile – Bearish Bias on GOLD This idea explores the market structure using TPO (Time Price Opportunity) Profiles, which show how long price has stayed at different levels over time. TPO charts help identify value areas, balance zones, and market sentiment shifts. 🧩 Key TPO Components on the Chart: POC (Point of Control) – The price level where the most TPOs occurred (most time spent). VAH / VAL (Value Area High/Low) – The range where ~70% of the activity happened. Profile Blocks – Each session shows where time clustered, forming balance or imbalance. Blue Zigzag Line – Highlights swing structure (higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows). 🔍 Analysis & Insights: Bearish Structural Shift Recent price action shows a clear breakdown below VAL, signaling a move away from previous acceptance zones into price discovery. The zigzag structure confirms a series of lower highs and lower lows—classic bearish price action. Downward-Shifting POCs The POC has been migrating downward, showing the market is finding value at lower and lower prices—a sign that sellers are in control. Acceptance Below Previous Value The current session is trading well below the prior TPO value area, confirming the market is accepting lower prices. No Signs of Responsive Buying There's no significant TPO clustering at current lows, meaning buyers haven’t stepped in to defend any level yet—risk of further downside remains. 🔐 Key Levels: Resistance to Watch: 3,300–3,320 USD A re-test and rejection here would validate continuation to the downside. Downside Target: 3,180–3,200 USD This area could act as the next potential balance zone or support. 🧭 Bias: Bearish Until Proven Otherwise With price breaking and accepting below key value areas, and no meaningful buyer defense yet, the short-term bias is firmly bearish. 💬 Let me know in the comments — are you playing the breakdown, or watching for a fade and failed auction?

Gold news dominates the market The gold market has experienced dramatic fluctuations recently, and the market is completely dominated by news. Last Friday (May 10), after gold stopped falling and rebounded from 3202, it soared by $236 to a high of 3438 in the first two days of the week, stimulated by Trump's escalation of tariff policy. However, as market sentiment changed, it opened high and fell on Wednesday, and plummeted by $126 in a single day on Thursday. It directly broke through the 3300 mark in early trading on Friday, reaching a low of 3270, giving up nearly $200 in gains in just a few days. Analysis of market driving factors: Tariff policy has become the core variable that dominates the trend of gold. When Trump proposed to increase tariffs, the market was worried about the escalation of the global trade war, and safe-haven funds poured into gold crazily; and once the news showed signs of easing, bulls immediately took profits, causing the gold price to retreat sharply. In contrast, the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and ongoing geopolitical conflicts have taken a back seat, reflecting the current market's extreme sensitivity to policy risks. From a technical perspective, gold has entered a large shock pattern of fierce competition between bulls and bears. The daily level shows that the long upper shadow middle Yin line closed on Thursday confirmed the short-term top, and the MACD indicator showed a second dead cross, indicating further callback risks. The key resistance is at 3315 (MA10 and the middle track overlap) and 3345 (MA5), and the important support below is at 3237 (MA30) and 3192 (lower track). On the 4-hour chart, the MACD dead cross continues to increase in volume, the Bollinger Bands open downward, and the MA60 moving average 3310 constitutes a key resistance. The hourly line forms a row of top suppression at 3323-24, and 3310-15 becomes an important resistance area for short-term rebound. Trading strategy suggestions: In the current market environment, it is recommended to adopt a strategy that combines trend trading with key position game. On the short side, short with a light position near 3340-3350, stop loss 3360, target 3300-3270; On the long side, focus on the 3270-65 support area. After stabilization, you can try short-term long, stop loss 3260, target 3300-3320; If it further pulls back to the 3230-40 area (daily MA30), you can consider the layout of medium-term long orders, stop loss 3220, target 3280-3300. It is particularly important to be vigilant that once it falls below the 3200 mark, it means that the medium-term trend turns bearish, and you need to stop loss immediately and wait and see. Looking ahead, gold may continue to fluctuate greatly. Investors need to focus on three major focuses: first, the trend of Trump's tariff policy, which is still the core factor affecting gold prices; second, the need for technical correction. After a continuous plunge, there may be a rebound, but attention should be paid to the strong pressure zone of 3345-3370; finally, the change in market sentiment. If the demand for risk aversion continues to cool, the gold price may further test the 3200 mark. Key operation tips: Intraday trading uses 3330 as the long-short watershed. Keep a short-term thinking below, with a target of 3270-3240; if it breaks through 3330, it will switch to a short-term long strategy, with a target of 3345-3370. Mid-term investors can arrange long orders in batches in the 3200-3230 area to bet on the rising opportunities brought about by the policy shift again. It should be emphasized that the current market is volatile, and all transactions should strictly set stop losses to prevent sudden risks.

Lingrid | GOLD Weekly OUTLOOK: Poised for BULLISH ReversalOANDA:XAUUSD market has retraced approximately 50% of the previous month's range and is approaching the critical golden zone at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. After experiencing such strong bullish momentum, we've now witnessed two consecutive red weeks, suggesting a potential reversal point. Price is currently testing the previous resistance zone, which has now established itself as support—a classic market structure confirmation. The formation of equal weekly lows beneath current price levels represents significant liquidity that could fuel an upward move. Furthermore, the price action appears to be completing an ABC pullback pattern, which typically precedes trend continuation. This bullish outlook is further reinforced by the emergence of a falling wedge pattern, a technical formation that frequently resolves to the upside. Overall, I expect prices to move higher in the coming week, potentially catalyzed by the upcoming Federal Funds Rate decision, which could provide the fundamental backdrop for the next leg up in gold's price trajectory. Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

Continue to short goldTechnical aspect: Gold rebounded gradually after hitting 3120, and has now rebounded to around 3200. Where will gold rebound? Is there still a chance to continue to short gold? In fact, from the current structure, gold has not shown a clear bottoming signal, so this wave of rebound can only be regarded as a technical repair after the decline; however, the rebound from 3120 to around 3200 is not small, which will significantly increase the probability of 3120 as a short-term bottom; so where will gold rise? I think gold is currently under resistance in the 3200-3210 area, and it may be difficult to break through this resistance area in a short period of time. When facing this resistance area, gold may fall under pressure and test the 3165-6155 area again; If gold really needs to form a reversal structure, it is necessary for gold to retest the 3165-3155 area support again and form a "W" double bottom structure with the 3120 low; only in this way can a complete reversal structure be formed. Trading strategy: Consider continuing to short gold in the 3195-3205 area, TP: 3165-3155

Gold rebounded to the expected position, 3205 short! 📌 Driving Event The announcement of a 90-day trade truce between the world's two largest economies also helped ease recession concerns in the United States, prompting investors to reduce expectations for aggressive monetary easing by the Federal Reserve (FED). This shift supports the continued rise in U.S. Treasury yields, further suppressing demand for interest-free gold. 📊 Commentary Analysis Today, the price of gold fell to its lowest point in more than a month. It once hit the lowest level since April 10 at 3120, and then rebounded to the 3200 line, and the volatility increased again! 💰 Strategy Package Short position: Actively participate in 3200-3203 points, with a profit target around 3120 points ⭐️ Note: Labaron hopes that traders can properly manage their funds - Choose a lot size that matches your funds - Profit is 4-7% of the fund account - Stop loss is 1-3% of the fund account
