Gold at $3,260: Buy the Fourth Dip?Gold prices have stabilized today after experiencing an earlier decline that represents the fourth dip down to the $3260 level over the past few sessions. The repeated defense of this support level could indicate strong buyer interest at these prices.
Recent reports suggest an easing of trade tensions which might be weakening demand for gold. But have tensions really eased to any great extent? Commerce Sectary Howard Lutnick announced yesterday the U.S. is close to 1 trade agreement with 1 mystery trade partner (rumored to be India? But why not brag about that if true) isn't the kind of progress that consoles me.
But is it time to buy?
The consistent support at $3,260 coupled with a potential move above $3,375 could provide the technical confirmation needed for renewed confidence in this kind of trade.

Fading Gold’s All‑Time HighGold has just posted a euphoric all‑time high at 3 499.6 after an almost parabolic climb along a single ascending trend‑line, and the wick that pierced that level sits in a thin, low‑volume pocket on the profile—classic bull‑trap territory—so once we see a four‑hour close beneath the trend‑line we expect momentum algos to flip, dragging price swiftly toward the 3 160‑3 130 demand block that marks the prior high‑volume consolidation; the short thesis is to scale into shorts between 3 480‑3 510, place invalidation above 3 525, and ride a potential vacuum move to that target zone (with room to extend toward 3 100) as crowded longs unwind, especially if a hawkish Fed headline or uptick in real yields provides the spark.

3280 becomes the key for bulls!The previous surge in gold prices was mainly due to the market pricing of "stagflation" risks, but as this risk is gradually eliminated, gold may experience a significant correction, especially considering that "long gold" has become one of the most crowded trades in the market, and its parabolic rise is an obvious signal.
From a larger cycle perspective, gold is still in an upward trend, because the actual yield may continue to decline under the background of the Fed's easing policy. But in the short term, if the good news about tariffs continues to be released, the price of gold may fall further, and the market will adjust according to the new environment.
Views on gold tonight!
In fact, the market has a warning for today's retracement. After all, yesterday's closing line was a big negative line, so there must be a continuation in the trend of gold. Moreover, after yesterday's gold rose to the 3500 line, the trend weakened, and the market fell all the way to break the 3400 mark and the 3300 mark, and fell to the lowest 3290 line! To be honest, this round of decline is still quite strong. After breaking the continuous positive, the market ushered in the suppression of the market retracement, and at present, there is still a trend of continuation! In my opinion, the key entry point for long orders today is the previous starting point of 3280. The short-term retracement of gold is obviously continuing, and in the medium and long term, gold is still bullish. So our entry point is actually relatively simple. When it retreats to 3280, we can directly enter the market. There are still many opportunities for long orders. The retracement is not the peak!
Gold on a downswingTechnical analysis: Gold has formed one narrow and one wider Descending Channel on the Hourly 4 and Daily chart. Since Price-action broke below the #3,300.80 first Support with force (and comfortably Trading above it), the Hourly 4 chart’s reversal crossed into a Bearish territory, and with DX still on multi-Month downtrend (struggling to make Bullish comeback for more than #2-session horizon), Sellers re-appeared as Gold entered the Bearish formation, with #3,252.80 - #3,262.80 Support zone to monitor. On the other hand, Buying response was expected regardless as Price-action broken the Lower Bollinger bands line (last time such scenario occurred is on the February #27 fractal). As such any pullback towards the #3,300.80 benchmark and apparent rejection remains an additional Selling opportunity. Unless the strong Resistance gets invalidated (#3,300.80 Top of the Resistance zone), Bearish sentiment remains intact however personally, break of #3,252.80 benchmark Support could arise Medium-term Sellers which could fill #3,200.80 psychological barrier on Intra-day basis.
My position: Keep Selling every High's unless #3,300.80 benchmark gets invalidated and prepare for #3,262.80 Support test in extension.
GOLD (XAUUSD): Strong Bullish Signs?!
Gold strongly corrected from 3500 psychological level.
After a test of the underlined intraday support cluster,
the market started to leave strong bullish clues.
After a false violation of the support, the price accumulated a bit
and broke a resistance line of a falling wedge pattern on an hourly time frame.
With that move, Gold also managed to confirm a local Change of Character CHoCH.
All these bullish signals indicate a highly probable continuation of a growth.
The price may move up at least to 3377 level easily.

GOLD 4H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Another great day on the markets today. After completing our 1h chart route map yesterday, we moved onto our 4 chart route map.
On this chart idea, we got our Bullish target at 3330 hit, followed with candle body close gaps to 3372 and 3414, as ema5 didn't catch up due to momentum. However, the body close breaks on each level still gave us enough time for the confirmation before being hit.
We then managed to get ema5 cross and lock above 3414 opening 3457, which was also hit perfectly, completing this target with confirmation. No further lock above 3457 confirmed the rejection. However, we now have a body close above 3457 with a gap to 3503, which just fell short by a few pips.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.

No Guessing. No Praying. Just Precision — Smart Money Moves Only📆 XAUUSD Daily Plan – April 29, 2025
🔥 Macro & Market Context:
Gold continues its tactical chess game between premium supply traps and reactive support zones.
Price is currently hovering around 3342, teasing a breakout or another trap inside the 3340–3355 resistance block.
Tomorrow we also have important USD news: 🔵 CB Consumer Confidence
🔵 JOLTS Job Openings
Expect potential volatility during NY session — stay adaptive, not predictive.
🎯 Bias Overview:
HTF Bias (H4–Daily): Bullish (Higher Highs and Higher Lows structure still intact)
LTF Flow (M15–H1): Corrective bullish retrace inside HTF uptrend
📍 Key Levels to Watch:
🔺 Resistance Zones:
3340–3355 → Minor Premium Resistance (currently being tested)
3372–3376 → Strong Trap Sell Zone (next immediate target above)
3380–3390 → Major Liquidity Pool (big decision area if price pumps further)
🔻 Support Zones:
3284–3288 → Intraday Demand + Bounce Zone
3233–3237 → HTF Major Reversal Demand
🎯 Refined Sniper Zones:
🟩 Buy Zone #1: 3284–3288
(H1 demand cluster + previous clean reaction)
🟩 Buy Zone #2: 3233–3237
(Deep HTF OB + untapped liquidity anchor)
🟥 Sell Zone #1: 3372–3376
(M15–H1 OB + liquidity trap setup)
🟥 Sell Zone #2: 3380–3390
(Premium supply and major liquidity sweep)
👀 Eyes On:
Reaction at 3372–3390: Weak rejections = tactical sell opportunities.
Respect for 3284–3288: Bullish continuation if defended strongly.
Violation below 3230: HTF momentum shift possible toward deeper discount.
📢 Final Message:
Gold’s setting traps for both bulls and bears — but we’re hunting precision, not chaos. 🏹
Patience = Power.
Confirmation = Survival.
🔥 Trading Focus Tip:
"First wicks grab liquidity. First breakouts fool emotions.
We wait for the second reaction — that's where the sniper eats."

Gold Trap Zones vs. Bounce Zones — Daily Flow Outlook April 30 Gold Battle Plan – Liquidity Games Reloaded 🎮💥
Gold’s Not Done — Next Move is Loading… You In? ⚔️🧨
No Guessing. No Praying. Just Precision – GoldMindsFX Flow 🔥✨
🧠 Macro & Market Context:
Gold continues to range between 3380–3260, with no clean breakout yet. Price action since yesterday has remained reactive and indecisive — still trapped inside the larger structure.
Today’s USD Events (High Impact):
🗣️ Trump Speech
🟦 ADP Non-Farm Employment
🟧 Advance GDP q/q
🟨 Employment Cost Index
🟧 Core PCE + Pending Home Sales
Expect volatility — especially NY session. Liquidity spikes likely.
🧭 Market Bias:
HTF Bias (Daily, H4): Still bullish overall as long as 3230–3240 is respected.
LTF Flow (M15–H1): Consolidation with small bullish attempts — structure still undecided.
📌 Key Structural Zones (Sniper Focus):
🔺 Sell Zones (Premium Supply)
3372–3376 → Trap Sell OB (M15–H1)
→ Price was previously rejected hard from here
3380–3390 → High-Volume Liquidity Pool
→ Major decision zone if price extends upside
🟩 Buy Zones (Discount Demand)
3284–3288 → Clean H1 Demand Reaction + Internal Liquidity
→ This zone triggered a 500+ pip rally this week
3233–3237 → Deep HTF OB + Untapped Liquidity
→ Must-hold level for HTF bullish bias to remain intact
👀 Eyes On Today:
3317–3325 → Micro structure to monitor. If bulls hold above this area, we may retest 3350–3372.
3284 → First bounce zone for reentry if NY dips.
Rejection below 3280 = eyes on 3233–3237.
🔥 Trading Focus Tip:
It’s a news-driven day. Your job isn’t to predict — it’s to wait, react, and strike with logic.
Snipers don’t rush. We let liquidity come to us.
💬 Final Note:
Goldie's still stuck in the cage — but today might be the breakout tease. Don’t chase, don’t guess — just watch the flow and let price tell you the truth. 🎯
Smart moves only. No fluff, just levels.
Let me know — are you watching the bounce or hunting the trap? Drop your zone bias 💬👇

One Step Ahead of the MarketHey guys and girls,
Look at this chart, Do you see what I see? (we are heading into a bear market).
(RSI= 86, kiss of Death) a chart is worth a thousand words!
Technical Section (a top is in place- ABC bear market):
Wave 1 = $ 850
Wave 3 = $ 1650
Wave 3 > 1.618 x length of Wave 1----> Wave 5 (Max) = 2.618 x length of Wave 1 (Target = $ 3300)
Fundamental (Bearish):
Let's look at the reasons:
a- Trump's trade war is over; as a result, there is no strong overriding trend.
b- Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady
Conclusion:
The trend is losing momentum and a top is in place.
Target = $ 2700
Invalidation level = $ 4170
GOLD (XAUUSD): Market Outlook & Short Update
Regarding Gold.
I received multiple requests to provide the update after
the price bounced to a target level, as I predicted earlier on Sunday.
At the moment, we see a perfect example of a consolidation.
The price is trading within a horizontal parallel channel - range.
As always, the market will most likely continue staying within that till the release
of important high impact news.
The closest ones we can find in the economic calendar.
Tomorrow we are expecting US GDP and Personal Spending Data.
For now, probabilities will be high that a consolidation will continue.
Consider looking for trading opportunities from the boundaries of the range.
After a news release, a breakout of the range will provide a strong confirmation
and accurately indicate the future direction of the market.

Gold rangingTechnical analysis: Gold naturally found Buyers as Buying pressure is evident on the charts from DX on Selling sequence and #3,262.80 Support preserved. It is important to note that #3,352.80 benchmark represents next Resistance zone, which was near Weekly (#1W) High’s as Price-action could find strong rejection there (as it did throughout Asian session) and deny the Buying response in extension. If broken, Price-action will be calling for #3,362.80 - #3,372.80 Resistance extension which may represent the local Top's for now and for current fractal. I will engage my orders accordingly and wait for suitable entry even though I have closed my Selling order on #3,288.80 ahead of the final push above the Resistance. However, Gold re-tested and was again rejected on the Hourly 4 chart’s Support keeping the Bullish bias alive. The Engulfing candle Bearish reversal candle on Hourly 1 chart succeeded at rejecting the Price-action and catching already the #32% Fibonacci level. I expect the last Daily chart’s candle to test again the #3,252.80 former Resistance now turned to Support when DX finds the Support zone and engages relief rally.
My position: I am currently Trading with caution as Fundamental side can deliver aggressive side Swing anytime, however I am taking excellent Scalp orders since Price-action is delivering optimal configuration to do so.
Short gold, gold may continue to fall to 3245-3235Fundamentals:
1. Focus on the performance of US economic data and the dynamics of the Federal Reserve;
2. Pay attention to whether the geopolitical conflicts will escalate, including the situation between India and Pakistan, Russia and Ukraine, and the situation between the United States and Iran, etc.
Technical aspects:
The rebound momentum of gold has gradually weakened, and gold has failed to effectively break through the 3320-3330 resistance zone many times recently, and has built multiple short-term top structures in this area, which has limited the height of gold rebound and further strengthened the bearish sentiment in the market, which is conducive to further decline of gold. In addition, gold has tested the area near 3260 many times, which has weakened the support strength of this area to a certain extent. Gold may fall below this area at any time and continue to the 3245-235 zone.
Trading strategy:
Consider shorting gold again with the 3315-3325 zone as resistance, and expect gold to fall below 3260 and continue to the 3245-3235 zone.
Gold Trade Plan 30/04/2025Dear Traders,
Gold has once again entered the 3275 support zone. Given that this is the fifth time it has tested this support, I expect the price to break below it. Additionally, the dollar index has entered a reversal phase. Good buying zones are around 3200–3220.

XAUUSD correcting to its 4H MA200.Gold (XAUUSD) has been trading within a Bullish Megaphone pattern since the start of the year. Last week's rejection on its top (Higher Highs trend-line) has resulted into a break below the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line).
This has technically been the signal that started the previous 2 Bearish Legs, which both bottomed upon touching the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) and once the 4H RSI got oversold below 30.00.
As a result, we expect more downside, targeting 3160.

Gold double bottom 3262 formed, next week's ladder is bullish
Gold closed with an adjustment K-line on the weekly chart, and the downward rhythm slowed down at the end of Friday. Currently, gold stabilized at 3265, and formed an effective double bottom pattern with the decline and rebound on Wednesday. Can the market achieve an effective breakthrough based on the double bottom structure?
Trading at the beginning of the week continued the idea of oscillating bulls. Gold usually showed a strong upward trend during the Asian session, and the bullish momentum was mostly released before 10 o'clock. This week, gold continued to show a strong sideways or upward pattern before 10 o'clock. If there is no breakthrough during this period, it will turn into an oscillating downward rhythm before the European session. This rule is highly consistent with the recent gold decline cycle. The US market showed a regular trend of "opening weak, stabilizing and rising after 22 o'clock", and this fluctuation feature was verified from Wednesday to Friday.
Next week, focus on initial jobless claims, CPI and non-agricultural employment data. It is recommended to manage positions before the release of major data. The trading logic of the European and American markets continued at the beginning of the week. The reference support in the early trading session was 3300, and 3270/60 was used as the bottom of the range to arrange long orders. If it rises directly at the beginning of the week, the pressure level will focus on the 3380 line. The current long-term bullish pattern has not changed. The double bottom pattern formed on Friday provides support for the step-by-step rise. After an effective breakthrough, it can be expected to rise to the 3550 area.
Gold Trade plan 29/04/2025Dear Traders,
Gold is still ranging within a triangle pattern. I believe that, considering the dollar index is at a bottom and there’s a potential for a 300-pip rise, gold may come under selling pressure. That said, as long as the price remains inside the triangle, it’s better to stay on the sidelines and wait to see which side the triangle breaks. If there’s an upward breakout, I consider the 3380–3400 area a suitable zone for selling.

GOLD drops sharply to $43, important support areaOANDA:XAUUSD encountered a sudden sell-off in early Asian trading on Thursday (May 1). The current price of gold is around $3,245/ounce, down sharply by $43 on the day and at a key technical position.
OANDA:XAUUSD fell for a third consecutive day as signs that trade talks between the United States and China may be progressing reduced demand for safe-haven assets, Bloomberg reported on Thursday. China Central Television said the United States has been in touch with China through various channels.
Bloomberg noted that concerns about the global trade outlook were also eased by news that the Trump administration was close to announcing the first of a series of deals that would reduce planned tariffs on several countries.
OANDA:XAUUSD have risen about 25% this year, largely as investors flocked to the safe-haven asset as U.S. President Donald Trump’s rapidly shifting trade policies have roiled markets and stoked fears of a global economic slowdown.
However, inflows into gold ETFs, central bank buying and strong speculative demand from China will also provide fundamental support for gold prices.
Looking ahead, Friday’s US non-farm payrolls report could reveal the initial impact of Trump’s trade policies on the economy.
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold is trading at a crucial support area for long-term bullish expectations with support from Ema21 converging with the 0.50% Fibonacci retracement. If gold is sold below $3,228, it could continue to decline further with a target of around $3,163 in the short term, the price point of the 0.618% Fibonacci retracement.
On the other hand, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also approaching the 50 level after a period of correction, which in this case acts as the nearest support.
It can be said that with the current position, gold has the most support with EMA21 converging with Fibonacci retracement 0.50% in terms of trend, and RSI approaching 50 is support in terms of momentum.
During the day, the current position still shows that gold has the potential to increase in price and the notable positions will also be listed as follows.
