XAU/USD 19 June 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 23 April 2025 Price has now printed a bearish CHoCH according to my analysis yesterday. Price is now trading within an established internal range. Intraday Expectation: Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,500.200. Note: The Federal Reserve’s sustained dovish stance, coupled with ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, is likely to prolong heightened volatility in the gold market. Given this elevated risk environment, traders should exercise caution and recalibrate risk management strategies to navigate potential price fluctuations effectively. Additionally, gold pricing remains sensitive to broader macroeconomic developments, including policy decisions under President Trump. Shifts in geopolitical strategy and economic directives could further amplify uncertainty, contributing to market repricing dynamics. H4 Chart: M15 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Following previous high, and printing of bearish CHoCH, price has pulled back to an M15 supply zone, where we are currently seeing a reaction. Therefore, I shall now confirm internal high. Price is now trading within an established internal range. The remainder of my analysis shall remain the same as analysis dated 13 June 2025, apart from target price. As per my analysis dated 22 May 2025 whereby I mentioned price can be seen to be reacting at discount of 50% EQ on H4 timeframe, therefore, it is a viable alternative that price could potentially print a bullish iBOS on M15 timeframe despite internal structure being bearish. Price has printed a bullish iBOS followed by a bearish CHoCH, which indicates, but does not confirm, bearish pullback phase initiation. I will however continue to monitor, with respect to depth of pullback. Intraday Expectation: Price to continue bearish, react at either M15 supply zone, or discount of 50% internal EQ before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,451.375. Note: Gold remains highly volatile amid the Federal Reserve's continued dovish stance, persistent and escalating geopolitical uncertainties. Traders should implement robust risk management strategies and remain vigilant, as price swings may become more pronounced in this elevated volatility environment. Additionally, President Trump’s recent tariff announcements are expected to further amplify market turbulence, potentially triggering sharp price fluctuations and whipsaws. M15 Chart:

Report June 19, 2025U.S. Policy, Federal Reserve, and Market Sentiment The Federal Reserve's latest Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) and Chair Powell’s post-meeting comments reinforce a resolutely cautious tone, emphasizing economic uncertainty and inflation fragility. The FOMC maintained the federal funds rate at 4.50%, while the updated dot plot reveals increased divergence: 10 members favor two or more rate cuts, while seven now favor no cuts in 2025, up from four in March. Powell emphasized the Fed’s uncertainty surrounding the inflation trajectory, particularly in light of tariff-driven price risks following President Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day” trade measures. These tariffs are still working through the supply chain, with Powell stating that “someone will have to pay,” referencing the complex interplay between manufacturers, exporters, and consumers. He admitted the Fed is “trying to be humble” in forecasting outcomes, underscoring a deep uncertainty around pass-through pricing effects. Despite this cautious stance, Powell refrained from giving any rate-cut timeline. Markets are now pricing in September as the earliest plausible cut, contingent on whether inflationary momentum fades or the labor market begins to deteriorate more visibly. The chair also pushed back against political pressure from the White House. President Trump demanded up to ten rate cuts, blaming Powell for inflating federal debt costs. Powell defended the Fed’s independence, suggesting data not political rhetoric will guide the path forward. Analysts note that the central bank’s reluctance to preemptively cut is due in part to a “generationally bad inflation episode,” which undermined confidence in the Fed’s control mechanisms. Escalating Iran–Israel Conflict: Strategic Implications Geopolitical risk has intensified following reports that President Trump approved U.S. strike plans on Iran, though has yet to issue a final order. The build-up of U.S. forces in the Mediterranean and Arabian Seas, including two carrier strike groups and three destroyers, signals operational readiness. Israeli strikes have reportedly hit Iran’s Arak heavy-water facility and a site in Natanz linked to nuclear weapons development. Iran has retaliated, with missile fire hitting Beersheba and causing civilian casualties. With over 639 deaths reported in Iran and 24 in Israel, the risk of a broader regional war is elevated. U.S. embassies are preparing evacuation flights from Israel, further confirming military escalation risks. The market implication is clear: safe-haven flows are returning. Oil prices remain bid near $75.10 (WTI) despite small declines, and gold is holding near $3,385, reflecting hedging against a supply disruption scenario. Global Macro Conditions: Bonds, Asia, and FX Bond markets are showing stabilization as investors balance Fed indecision with long-term value. Capital Group noted that bonds are “again fulfilling their role as portfolio stabilizers.” The steepening curve combined with attractive yields is drawing long-term interest in IG credit and U.S. sovereigns, especially at the 5–10Y part of the curve. Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) saw a strong bid during the latest 5Y auction, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 4.58, the highest since July 2023. The 10Y JGB yield dropped 4bps to 1.415%, and the 20Y yield to 2.36%, as Middle East risk spurred demand. Analysts noted that despite talk of BoJ tightening, demand-side dynamics remain favorable for JGBs. Meanwhile, Asian currencies are consolidating as traders digest both the Fed's message and regional instability. The Korean won, Singapore dollar, and Australian dollar were mostly unchanged overnight, although the Thai baht weakened sharply amid political instability in Bangkok following a coalition breakdown. Asian investors have also begun diversifying away from USD assets, according to DBS strategists. This includes buying back into Singapore and Hong Kong fixed income, compressing local interest rates and contributing to dollar softness in Asia. Commodities & Energy Outlook Oil prices are modestly lower in Asia’s early trading due to position adjustments, but support remains due to Middle East tensions. Brent trades at $76.34, and WTI at $75.10. ANZ Research notes the market remains “very sensitive” to additional escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict. A U.S. military strike on Iranian nuclear infrastructure would likely trigger further price spikes, possibly pushing crude above $80 in the short term. As, gold and silver remain well supported as hedges, particularly given the uncertain rate path and geopolitical risk.

XAU/USD 4H Market Analysis- 19 June 2025XAU/USD 4H Market Analysis Market Structure: Gold has been in a mild uptrend on the 4‑hour chart, making higher lows and highs since early June. The recent swing high was around ~$3,428 (mid-June), and price has pulled back toward the rising support line near ~$3,373. A break above the recent high (around $3,404–$3,428) would continue the bull trend; conversely, a drop below the ~3,373 trendline/50% Fib level would signal a bearish turn. In other words, bulls remain in control as long as ~$3,373 holds – breaking that would threaten lower support around ~$3,338. Overall Bias: Moderately bullish on 4H. Gold is respecting its rising trendline and 50-period EMA, and analysts note that holding above ~$3,373 keeps the uptrend intact. Momentum (MACD) is neutral to slightly bearish short-term, so we expect consolidations and range bounces more than a reversal. In summary, assume an upward bias while price stays above key support near $3,370–$3,380; a firm break below would flip bearish. Key SMC/Zones: Price is currently in a range/consolidation roughly between $3,370 and $3,400. Important zones include: Demand (Support) Zone: ~ $3,368–$3,378 — this 50% Fib retracement area has been defended as a bullish order block. Below that, stronger supports sit near ~ $3,354 and $3,333 . Supply (Resistance) Zone: ~$3,395–$3,415 — a cluster of swing highs and Fib levels. Analysts highlight $3,395, $3,412, $3,435 and even $3,450 as major resistance barriers. In particular, the $3,400 level is a known psychological and technical ceiling. Trendlines/BOS: The rising 4H trendline (currently near $3,370–$3,380) is key support. A break of structure (BOS) below that line would be a bearish Change-of-Character. Similarly, the prior swing low around $3,373 is a flip zone – bulls want to keep that hold. Liquidity: Stop-loss/liquidation clusters may lie just above recent highs ($3,428–$3,450) and just below recent lows ($3,338–$3,354). For example, stops above $3,428 could fuel a rally if hit, and stops below $3,338 could accelerate a drop. In short, high-probability zones on the 4H chart are around ~$3,370 (demand/support) and ~$3,400 (supply/resistance). We’ll look for trades that align with that structure (see setups below). 1H Trade Setups (Aligned with 4H Bias) Long around $3,370–3,375 (Buy Dip to Demand Zone) – Entry: ~3,370–3,375 (green zone). Stop: ~$3,365 (≈$5 below zone). Take-Profit: $3,380 first, then $3,390–$3,400. Reason: This zone is a 4H demand area (50% Fib + order block) and coincides with the rising 4H trendline. Price has repeatedly bounced here, so a bullish reversal is likely. Trigger: Look for a bullish 1H signal (e.g. engulfing or pin bar) at ~3,370–3,375, or a break of the short-term 1H down-structure. Entry on such a signal would target a retest of the mid-range (~3,380) and beyond toward resistance. Short around $3,395–3,400 (Sell Rally to Supply) – Entry: ~3,395–3,400 (red zone). Stop: ~$3,405 (≈$5 above zone). Take-Profit: $3,375 first, then $3,365. Reason: This area is a clear 4H supply zone (near multiple Fibonacci levels/resistance). It’s just below the $3,400 psychological barrier. A failure or bearish reversal here would likely send price back toward the demand zone below. Trigger: Watch for a bearish 1H candle or a break of the short-term 1H up-structure in the 3,395–3,400 range. A clear rejection (e.g. bearish engulfing or strong wick) would be the signal to enter short. (Note: If price breaks cleanly above $3,405–3,410 instead, a bullish continuation trade would then be favored, targeting $3,415+.) Takeaway: Trade gold with the 4H structure in mind. With price above the ~$3,370 trend support, favor longs on pullbacks into that demand zone and shorts only at proven supply near $3,400. Always use a tight ~$5 stop beyond each zone and scale out at logical pivot levels to manage risk.

6/18 Gold Analysis and Trading SignalsGood morning, everyone! Gold traded within a narrow range yesterday, and the buy signal shared during the session yielded profits. From a technical perspective, the market remains in a rebound phase, with key resistance around 3403. If the price breaks and holds above this level, there’s a good chance we’ll see a move toward the 3418–3428 zone today. During the Asian and European sessions, the trading bias should remain on the buy side, while in the U.S. session, it may be more favorable to shift toward short setups, mainly due to expectations surrounding the upcoming Fed interest rate decision—an outlook we discussed yesterday. Key intraday ranges to watch: Asian–European session: 3362–3413 If price reaches the 3425–3435 zone before the U.S. session, short opportunities may emerge As always, manage your positions carefully and adapt to key levels as price unfolds.

Gold continues to fall. Will there be a lower point?Gold is still under pressure at the integer mark of 3400. During the US trading session, the lowest point reached around 3366. For the current trend, it fell below the short-term support area of ​​3375, so the market has the possibility of further downward movement to test the support of 3350. Today, Iran launched missiles again, but there was no threat to Israel at all, and all the missiles were intercepted. Under the current trend of further decline, the support position that needs to be paid attention to is 3350. At this position, you can try a long strategy, and the early support point of 3400 above has turned into an upward pressure point. Short-term operation strategy: Buy near 3350, stop loss 3340, profit range 3380-3390. Above, you need to pay attention to the important pressure level of 3390-3400. The market changes violently, and you can take profits at the right position. Avoid rapid changes in market conditions and losses.

GOLD/USD Bearish Rejection at Resistance ZoneGOLD/USD Bearish Rejection at Resistance Zone 📉🟥 📊 Technical Overview: The chart for GOLD/USD shows a clear price action behavior between a well-defined resistance zone (~3,480–3,510) and a support zone (~3,260–3,280). 🔻 Bearish Signals: The price has tested the resistance zone multiple times (highlighted with red arrows and orange circles) but failed to break above it, indicating strong selling pressure. The current price action suggests another lower high formation, which is a bearish signal 📉. Recent candles are rejecting the upward move, pointing to potential downside movement. 🟩 Support Confirmation: Previous reactions from the support zone (green arrows) show that buyers have consistently stepped in near the 3,260–3,280 range. This level remains a key demand zone where a bounce might be expected. 🔁 Outlook: If the price continues to reject the resistance and follows the pattern, we might see another drop towards the support area. A break below the support zone would confirm a bearish breakout and could open the door to deeper downside targets. 📌 Conclusion: GOLD/USD is trading within a range, but the repeated failures at resistance suggest bearish momentum might take control in the short term. A move back toward the support zone is likely unless a breakout above resistance occurs. 📉 Resistance: 3,480–3,510 🟩 Support: 3,260–3,280 🔍 Bias: Short-term Bearish unless resistance breaks

Today's gold price may fall to 3340-3350Today's gold price may fall to 3340-3350 As shown in Figure 4h The current support level of gold price is 3370-3380. Once it falls below this range, the gold price will fall further to 3350-3340. At that time, we considered that it was a good choice to buy the bottom of gold price in the 3340-3350 range, and it was also a relatively stable and conservative strategy. Technical analysis: As shown in the figure: At present, we believe that the white channel of gold price is the main rising channel.

The current fluctuation range of gold price: 3380-3400, lower support level: 3370 Operation strategy: 1: As long as the gold price falls below 3400, it will be mainly short at high prices. 2: Once it falls below 3370, the next target of gold price, 3350, will be a high probability event. 3: The macro trend of gold prices is still bullish. It is recommended to hold long positions and wait for the performance of the 3340-3350 range. 4: Conservatives can wait for the opening of the US market before making a decision 5: Radicals can choose to ambush in advance after judging that the gold price stabilizes in the 3370-3350 range, lightly position, reserve enough bargain-hunting positions, and cover positions at any time.

Fed Rate Decision May Trigger a Decline in Gold PricesDespite heightened tensions in the Middle East providing safe-haven support, gold failed to break through the 3450–3455 resistance zone today and instead pulled back to the 3400–3386 support area. This decline was mainly driven by two factors: Iran expressed willingness to resume nuclear talks, easing geopolitical tensions and weakening safe-haven demand. Growing expectations that the Fed will keep rates unchanged this week strengthened the DXY, reducing gold's appeal. That said, inflation concerns persist, offering medium-term support to gold. On the technical front, the 3378–3340 consolidation zone may serve as secondary support, while stronger trend support lies in the 3310–3289 range—a level that may only be tested under extreme bearish conditions. For now, the primary support to watch is 3386–3373, with short-term rebound resistance around 3400–3420. Trading Suggestion: Ahead of the Fed’s rate decision tomorrow, consider buying on dips, as today’s decline may lead to a technical rebound. Then reassess the market’s response to key support and resistance levels to determine further action.

Gold trend remains unchanged, adjustment is accumulating Last Friday, driven by the risk aversion sentiment in the Middle East, gold surged to 3445 in the Asian session and then fell under pressure. It stabilized and fluctuated at 3408 in the European session, and continued to fluctuate after probing 3346 for the second time in the US session. On Monday morning, it opened high and touched 3352 (upper track of the daily channel) and then came under pressure, but it was still mainly low-long under the support of risk aversion sentiment, and we need to be vigilant about the risk of event evolution. Technical analysis The weekly MACD high-level golden cross is shrinking, and the dynamic indicator STO is overbought, indicating that the shock is strong. Key position: pressure: 3470 (parabolic turning point), 3500 (previous high). Support: 3365-3352 (weekly MA5/MA10 and naked K support). The daily MACD golden cross is large, STO is overbought, and it is strong in the short term. Key position: pressure: 3403-3398 (previous high conversion position). Support: 3387 (MA5), 3365 (MA10). 4-hour MACD high-level shrinking, STO adhesion, high-level oscillation. Key position: Support: 3418-19, 3408 (short-term bullish defense line), followed by 3393-3378-3360. Moving average support: 3437 (MA5), 3423 (MA10). Hourly MACD dead cross shrinking, STO downward, oscillation consolidation. Key support: 3331-3324 (middle track and MA30 overlap). Trading strategy: Risk aversion is the main focus, but be wary of technical callbacks. Short order opportunity 3446-48 light position short, stop loss 3453, target 3436-30-25. 3465-70 area short, stop loss 3475, target 3455-3440-3430. Long order opportunity 3422-24 long, stop loss 3414, target 3432-45-52-65. 3394-96 long (stable), stop loss 3385, target to be determined (hold if it breaks through 3400). Key observation points Break above 3470: or test the 3500 mark. Break below 3360: beware of a deep correction to the 3324-30 area. Note: If the situation in the Middle East eases, long positions need to be adjusted in time; if it deteriorates suddenly, follow up with safe-haven buying.
