Gold Hits 3360 Resistance After Breakout – Reversal Ahead?📈 Gold Breaks Out – Now Approaching Key Resistance
Two days ago, I highlighted the ascending triangle forming on Gold and warned that a breakout could lead to strong acceleration in the direction of the move.
As expected, price broke to the upside and rallied 1,000 pips, confirming the bullish breakout.
🧱 B ut now, Gold faces a major test...
Price is now approaching a critical confluence resistance zone around 3360, where I expect a possible reversal.
Given the recent pattern of strong two-way volatility, a pullback from here could send Gold back down to retest the broken 3250 zone — now acting as support.
📊 Trading Plan:
I’m watching closely for signs of weakness near 3360 to open short trades. This level is key for both bulls and bears, and price action here could define the next move.

GOLD (XAUUSD): 2 Strong Bullish Patterns
As I warned you earlier, Gold is resuming a growth.
After completing a bullish accumulation, the price
is currently breaking both a neckline of an ascending triangle
and an inverted head and shoulders formation on a 4H.
I think that the price will rise more and reach 3320 resistance soon.

Gold Retests Broken Resistance – Is the PRZ Next?As I expected in the previous IDEA , Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) managed to break the Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245) and touched the first target .
Gold appears to be completing a pullback to the Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245) .
On my chart , the Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245) is currently labeled Support zone($3,280-$3,245) .
I expect Gold to move towards the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) and Resistance lines after the pullback is completed .
Note: If Gold touches $3,243 , we should expect a drop.

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
A very choppy day on gold today making it difficult to hold trades into the extreme levels. The range is smaller than usual and accumulation is in progress, so we will say please play defence on the markets.
We wanted lower to go higher, the red box broke upside, and if switched to the 1H TF, like us you would have got a decent trade into red box resistance for the RIP and short scalp. As you can see, price is now playing between the red boxes with intra-day support being way down at 3210 and resistance above at 3255. These are now the levels of play in our opinion and the market has played it in such a way that both are open targets! We'll wait lower to long or higher to short, here in the range, not interested.
KOG’s bias of the week:
Bearish below 3235 with targets below 3196, 3185, 3177, 3165 and 3155
Bullish on break of 3230 with targets above 3242✅, 3250, 3255 and 3262
RED BOXES:
Break above 3210 for 3118✅, 3220✅, 3225✅, 3230✅, 3235✅ and 3247✅ in extension of the move
Break below 3195 for 3187, 3179, 3165, 3155, 3150 and 3137 in extension of the move
As always, trade safe.

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
A decent day on the markets after the frustrating range being played early week. We said we expected the play to be between the 3210 and 3255 region with a break either side deciding the short term direction. We waited lower for the 3203-5 region early session, managed to get 3204 and then long on the red boxes which guided the way as well as our trusted algo Excalibur. Excalibur completed 4 Gold targets in a day with another insane pip capture. Well done team.
So now we have an open level above 3290-95 with our indicator starting to show the stretch upside. Rather than attempt long up here, we'll look higher for a potential RIP based on a clean set up, if we get that support is on the flip at 3255-60 which is the retracement level.
As always, trade safe.

GOLD → The fight for 3,200 continuesFX:XAUUSD has recovered after a bearish distribution. The price has returned to the range but continues to test the fundamental threshold of 3200.
The fundamental background has been gradually improving recently, which is putting pressure on the gold market, increasing the profit-taking ratio and the level of sales. After the resolution of the tariff war, all attention has shifted to the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, and de-escalation could also reduce economic risks. As well as the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East...
Technically, the price is returning to the range after a deep false breakout but is facing strong resistance and pressure from sellers. Further developments depend on the 3200 level, which is of fundamental importance.
Resistance levels: 3225, 3236, 3257
Support levels: 3204 - 3200, 3194
The battle for the 3200 area continues, with bulls likely to try to keep the price above 3200, in which case the market may test the 0.5-0.7 Fibonacci zone. However, given the recent improvement in fundamentals, the price may return from these zones of interest to 3200 with the aim of continuing the assault to break through and continue the downtrend.
Best regards, R. Linda!

What a day on Gold! We completed a mega pip capture on the long into the Excalibur target and red box barrier only to then get the RIP that we wanted in order to capture that short trade downside completing another phenomenal pip capture and target.
Our red box indicators performed well as well as the algo allowing our traders to navigate their way on the swing and the scalps.
Now we have support below at the 3290 level which needs to break to go lower, otherwise resistance above is at the red box 3310-15 which could be the destination for the close.

Gold Stuck Between 3250 and 3200 – Watch the Breakout!After another week filled with violent price swings, Gold started this week on a much calmer note. Yesterday, after filling the Asia open gap, price pushed up to test the 3250 resistance, only to reverse and fall back toward the 3210 support zone.
🔺 A triangle is forming… but which way will it break?
Since last Thursday, price action has been forming an ascending triangle — a pattern that typically favors upside breakouts.
But for this to play out, we need a clean break above 3250. If that happens, we could see a fresh 1,000 pips move up in the short term.
📉 What if 3200 fails again?
A break back below 3200 would cancel the bullish structure and likely send price toward the 3160 support, or even further down to the 3100 zone.
📊 Trading Plan:
For now, I remain on the sidelines, waiting for a clear breakout in either direction. No need to rush — the breakout should bring strong momentum either way.

GOLD (XAU/USD) Bearish Play Setting UpHello guys!
Gold is currently respecting a bearish descending channel, forming clean lower highs and lows. After tapping into the supply zone around 3,285–3,295, the price is showing signs of exhaustion.
Now, a potential rejection from this zone could trigger another leg down targeting the demand zone around 3,060–3,080.
🧠 What I see:
🔹 Bearish channel = trending lower
🔹 Clean retest of supply block
🔹 Price respecting midline resistance
🔹 Momentum favors sellers
🎯 Bearish Trade Idea (Not financial advice):
Entry zone: 3,240–3,260 (on confirmation candle)
TP1: 3,110
TP2: 3,072 (demand zone)
📐 Risk/Reward: 1:2+ potential
💡 Watch for confirmation candlesticks near the supply zone for safer entries.
XAUUSD Daily Plan – May 21, 2025Gold dancing on liquidity ropes – who’s pulling the strings tomorrow?” 🎭📉📈
🧠 Bias: Mixed
HTF (H4/D1): Bullish retracement inside a bearish macro leg
LTF (M15–H1): Price in premium + internal LH rejection attempt
No clear confirmation for reversal yet – NY may decide
🔵 Discount Buy Zones (for bullish continuation)
3265–3275 → First valid retracement block inside last bullish impulse
3227–3242 → Internal HL + FVG + ascending trendline confluence
3178–3192 → Strong breaker + demand zone holding structure
🔴 Premium Sell Zones (for short-term reaction/reversals)
3285–3292 → Internal LH zone reacting now, possible short-term supply
3318–3330 → Unmitigated OB + clean sweep if market expands
3362–3375 → Final liquidity target above weak high + bearish OB
🧭 Structure Context
D1 CHoCH already printed → valid for short-term retracement longs
H1 broke bullish structure → forming internal HLs
M15 just printed a BOS + premium entry active
H4 bearish swing still intact – bulls need HL above 3190 to flip narrative
📌 Intraday Focus:
Watch for confirmation rejections around 3290 and liquidity grabs above 3300. If price breaks and holds 3295–3300, next invalidation for sellers would be near 3318. If price drops below 3242, look for reaction in deeper demand.

GOLD - Price can bounce up from pennant to $3380 pointsHi guys, this is my overview for GOLD, feel free to check it and write your feedback in comments👊
A few moments ago price reached resistance level, but then bounced and started to flat, breaking this level again.
In flat, price declined to support level, which coincided with support area, and then started to grow.
In a short time, Gold exited from flat, breaking $3325 level and then entered to pennant, where it started to fall.
Price soon broke $3325 level again and made a gap, after which dropped to support line of pennant, breaking $3205 level.
But then price quickly turned back, breaking $3205 level again and even reached resistance level, after which corrected.
Now I think that Gold can decline to support line of pennant and then bounce up to $3380, exiting from this pattern.

Gold - New ATH in the making?Overall Market Context
This daily timeframe chart of Gold (XAU/USD) reflects a textbook example of a bullish retracement within a broader upward trend. The price has recently pulled back after printing a significant swing high, which is currently the all-time high (ATH). This retracement brings Gold into a high-probability reversal zone, aligning several technical elements that point toward potential bullish continuation.
Retracement Into A Confluence Zone
Price has retraced into a key technical area defined by the Fibonacci golden pocket (0.618–0.65) and a Fair Value Gap (FVG). The golden pocket is widely regarded as one of the most reactive retracement levels in Fibonacci analysis, where institutional participants often enter or scale into positions. The addition of an FVG overlapping this zone strengthens its importance. An FVG is typically created by an aggressive move that leaves behind inefficient price action or unmitigated imbalances, and in this case, it represents an area where demand previously overwhelmed supply.
The combination of the golden pocket and FVG creates a strong demand zone, from which a bullish reaction is expected if the overall macro sentiment remains supportive.
Bullish Reaction And Confirmation
Price wicked slightly below the FVG, likely triggering liquidity stops resting beneath prior swing lows before showing signs of a strong bounce. This type of price action—known as a liquidity grab or "spring"—is often a precursor to significant reversals when it aligns with higher timeframe bullish order flow.
The current bounce from this zone suggests that smart money may have accumulated long positions here. If price continues to hold above this zone, it confirms a successful defense of this key area and increases the probability of bullish continuation. The market is showing signs of shifting from a retracement phase back into an impulsive phase.
Break Of Structure And Targeting Buy-Side Liquidity
The next key area of interest is the buy-side liquidity resting above the most recent swing high, labeled as the "BSL" (Buy-Side Liquidity). If price breaches this level, it will confirm a break of market structure to the upside and signal a continuation of the overall bullish trend.
Such a break would invalidate the idea of deeper retracement and instead align with an impulsive leg that could target the previous ATH—and potentially exceed it. This makes the current zone a critical pivot point in determining whether gold resumes its long-term bullish trajectory.
New All-Time High Scenario
Should the BSL be breached and momentum maintained, price is likely to head toward printing a new all-time high. From a psychological and technical standpoint, the break of an ATH often leads to price discovery, where resistance is minimal, and price action becomes more volatile and parabolic.
Traders and institutions monitoring historical highs often front-run such moves or aggressively participate once confirmed, driving increased volume and volatility. This behavior can lead to rapid upside extension, especially when supported by macroeconomic narratives such as inflation hedging, geopolitical tensions, or declining real yields—all traditionally bullish catalysts for gold.
XAU/USD) bullish trend analysis Read The ChaptianSMC trading point update
Technical analysis of XAU/USD (Gold Spot price against USD) on a 1-hour timeframe, featuring a Smart Money Concept (SMC) approach. Here's a breakdown of the key ideas presented:
---
1. Downtrend & Trendline Break
The chart initially shows a downtrend with two red arrows marking lower highs.
A trendline is broken, indicating a potential shift in market structure.
CHOCH (Change of Character) is labeled — a key SMC concept signaling a reversal from bearish to bullish structure.
---
2. Orderblock & FVG (Fair Value Gap)
A bullish orderblock is highlighted, indicating an area where institutional buying may have occurred.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is shown, which often acts as a magnet for price to fill inefficiencies before continuing in the intended direction.
---
3. Resistance & Target Zones
A resistance level is marked near 3248–3250, which price may revisit and possibly break.
Two target points are identified:
First target: ~3344
Final target: ~3433
---
4. EMA 200
The EMA 200 is acting as dynamic resistance; a break above it adds confluence to the bullish bias.
---
5. Expected Move
The analysis anticipates:
1. A pullback into the FVG or orderblock.
2. A bullish continuation after mitigating those zones.
3. Price aiming for the resistance and eventually the upper targets.
Mr SMC Trading point

Conclusion
This is a bullish outlook based on a structural break (CHOCH), institutional demand (orderblock), and gap-filling logic (FVG). The price is expected to pull back slightly and then rally toward the 3344 and 3433 levels if it holds the orderblock zone.
Pales support boost 🚀 analysis follow)
XAU/USD weekly outlook My analysis revolves around the continuation of the current short-term bearish trend. To capitalise on this move, I’ll be watching for price to mitigate either the 4-hour supply zone or the 3-hour supply zone. If price instead decides to respect a nearby demand zone, I’ll shift focus and wait for a potential reaction from a 1-hour demand zone.
From there, we could see signs of accumulation followed by a bullish reaction, leading price back up into a supply zone before continuing the sell-off in line with the prevailing trend. However, if price breaks below the 1-hour demand, that would further confirm a stronger bearish bias.
Confluences for GOLD sells are as follows:
- Price has broken structure to the downside, confirming the short-term bearish trend.
- Price is approaching both the 4-hour and 3-hour supply zones, which could act as strong sell areas.
- There is a lot of downside liquidity that remains untapped and could be targeted.
- On the higher timeframes, price appears overbought due to the recent corrective move.
P.S. If price fails to respect the nearby supply zones and breaks through them, I’ll then look for a reaction from a more premium supply level. Overall, my long-term bias remains bullish based on the higher timeframes.
Gold will continue to rise after a false breakdown The price is trying to consolidate above the key support zone 3290 - 3300. As part of the correction, gold makes a false breakdown and the market starts to show a bullish reaction.
The only confusing thing is the coming news. If the buyers are able to keep the price above 3300, the gold will surely continue its upward trend
Scenario: price consolidation above 3300 after a false breakdown of support will be a good signal for a swing impulse towards the intermediate high of 3345.
Learn Best Candlestick Pattern For Trend Trading Gold XAUUSD
This secret pattern will change the way you trade Gold XAUUSD.
If you study technical analysis in Gold trading, there is one unique candlestick pattern that you absolutely need to know.
In this article, you will learn the structure and the meaning of one of the most accurate candlesticks in Gold trading.
I will teach you how to recognize this pattern and how to trade it for maximum profits.
Let's start with some theory and let me show you how this candlestick pattern looks.
This candlestick pattern is called inside bar.
It is based on a combination of at least 3 candles.
The first candlestick in a sequence should be a strong bullish or bearish candle. The consequent candles should strictly close within its range.
If at least 2 candles close within the range of the first candle with its bodies, that will be a valid inside bar.
The first candle will always be called the mother's bar , while the following candles will be called the inside bars.
That's a perfect example of the inside bar pattern on Gold XAUUSD chart on a daily.
This pattern is based on 2 important elements that you should always pay close attention to.
The upper boundary of the range of the mother's bar will compose a significant resistance that will provide a safe place to sell.
While the lower boundary of the range of the mother's bar will be a strong support to buy Gold from.
Look how nicely Gold price respected the resistance of the range, dropped to its support and started to grow then.
Once you identified the inside bar, you can easily trade it within the range.
However, I strictly recommend waiting for a confirmation signal before you place a trade.
One of the proven confirmations is a price action signal on lower time frames.
In the example above, Gold formed a bullish chart pattern - double bottom after a test of a support and a bearish pattern - head and shoulders after a test of a resistance.
Remember that the market can not stay within the range of the inside bar candlestick pattern forever.
Bullish violation and a candle close above the range will be a strong signal to buy Gold.
While, a bearish breakout of its range will provide a strong bearish confirmation.
That's how a breakout of the underlined resistance triggered a strong rally on Gold.
Inside bar is the essential pattern both for the gold swing traders and day traders.
This pattern provides a lot of profitable trading opportunities, being very simple to recognize.
