XAUUSDG trade ideas
4/22 Gold Trading StrategyGold continued its upward movement yesterday. Short positions around 3380 yielded limited gains, while those near 3410 are currently underwater. Many traders may be in a similar position, and I want to emphasize: there’s no need to panic—today offers a strong opportunity for the bears.
Technically, gold is now in the final stage of a five-wave upward structure . The bullish momentum is fading. The remaining upside is likely limited to within $50 , while the downside potential could exceed $80. In short, there’s an 80%+ chance of a pullback or consolidation today, offering a solid exit or profit opportunity for short positions.
The price is expected to retrace below 3360, and once profit-taking begins, the decline may accelerate.
Trading Strategy for Today:
Sell between 3450–3480
Buy between 3330–3310
Trade flexibly within 3440–3400 / 3410–3355
XAUUSD : Accumulating around the peak areaGold prices today remain stable in the high zone around 3,330 USD. This precious metal is temporarily sideways due to the market entering the Easter holiday, but the upward momentum has not shown any signs of stopping.
Accordingly, geopolitical tensions, economic instability, and trade policies from the US continue to be supportive factors for gold during this period. The current resistance level is around 3,353 USD, while the nearest support zone is 3,300 USD.
Gold may correct slightly and accumulate momentum after the recent strong increase. We should wait for the price to return to important zones such as EMA 34, the support zone, or wait for the price to break the resistance zone to enter reasonable orders when the market is active again.
Prioritize trading according to the trend, everyone, don't forget to set full TP and SL to ensure safety.

XAUUSD Long 4/22/2025XAU/USD Long Setup – ABCD Correction into 15-Min Demand Zone
Looking to long gold after a textbook pullback off the recent impulse leg.
Structure:
We had a strong impulse move from $3,413 to $3,500, forming the high of the leg.
Correction:
Price has since retraced in a clean ABCD pattern, forming a 1:1 measured move — a proportional, orderly pullback.
Entry Zone:
The D-point of this correction aligns perfectly with a 15-minute demand zone, where price is now reacting.
Bias: Bullish continuation.
This structure suggests the correction is complete, and momentum is likely to resume to the upside.
Target: Looking for a full retest of the high at $3,500.
Simple and clean — structure-driven entry off confluence. Let’s see if gold wants to reload for another leg.
GOLD: Bulls Are Winning! Long!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse GOLD together☺️
The recent price action suggests a shift in mid-term momentum. A break above the current local range around 3,430.01 will confirm the new direction upwards with the target being the next key level of 3,480.61 and a reconvened placement of a stop-loss beyond the range.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
Growth potential up to 3400Description of the weekly analysis:
After a good week of trading, we move on to next week.Given the bullish market sentiment, it is not unreasonable to expect the price to rise to 3,400.
I expect the price to be ready to rise to 3400 after a correction towards 3293 or eventually the 3230-3246 support zone.
Note and reminder:
Of course, this analysis is valid as long as the price does not close below 3200.
If the analysis fails, it will be updated immediately and I will share it.
Possible positions this week:
A:Suitable prices for BUY positions
1)3300~3290
2)3230~3246
B:Suitable prices for SELL positions
1)3398~3408
This is just an analysis and everyone is responsible for their own work.
Hoping for a good and profitable week.
Final upward push and then a possible correctionGold may likely try to touch the 3450,3470, and possibly 3500 marks as it is in a strong bullish trend. Price action persisted in going past the 3430 point, as it was the current all-time high, which may lead the price to further continue its upward trajectory. However, the bullish trend may correct after having risen for some days and weeks. A correction is bound to okay depending on where the price rising pressure stalls.
Gold (XAU/USD) – Bullish Momentum in Ascending ChannelGold is trading within a strong ascending channel on the 1H chart.

"Imminent Correction in Gold – Strategic Plan to Capture Wave 4"📌 General Context
Gold (XAU/USD) is currently at a pivotal moment after completing a 5-wave impulsive sequence, suggesting that we may be about to enter a major corrective phase. The structure observed is an impulsive wave (1)-(2)-(3)-(4)-(5), which is typically followed by an ABC correction or a complex correction, depending on the larger context.
📈 Wave Structure and Technical Projection
Wave (5) Completed:
The end of wave (5) has clearly been marked, suggesting short-term buyer exhaustion.
This paves the way for a corrective movement that, based on wave projections, could seek much lower levels.
Critical Supply Zone:
Between $3,453.01 and $3,504.89, there is an important supply zone.
This area could act as resistance in a potential final bullish impulse to form an expanded "Flat" or "Running Flat" corrective structure.
Downside Projection (Wave 4 of Major Degree):
First support levels:
$3,239.99 (intermediate validation level)
$3,147.28 (previous structure)
Final projected correction target:
$2,866.94, coinciding with a strong demand zone and relevant technical support.
🧠 Technical Narrative
The price has been in a strongly bullish trend, but after completing a clear impulsive structure and approaching a significant supply zone, a significant correction is anticipated. This analysis is based on Elliott Wave Theory, complemented by Fibonacci levels and institutional supply/demand zones.
The projection suggests that gold could make a final rally to $3,450-$3,500, and from there initiate a deep correction toward the $2,866 area, where there is a technical support confluence.
🚨 Key Levels to Watch
Type Level
3,504.89 Supply Zone (maximum resistance)
3,453.01 Supply Zone (start)
3,239.99 Bearish Validation Level
3,147.28 Intermediate Support
2,866.94 Correction Target (potential buy zone)
🔔 Conclusion
The current structure suggests a high probability of a correction in gold after this strong bullish momentum. The most likely scenario is a correction toward $2,866, an area that could offer a new medium-term buying opportunity if validated by price action.
🕰️ Recommended follow-up to confirm reversal patterns and manage risk in case of trading this potential correction.
🧾 Trade Plan (Short)
🔹 Ideal Sell Zone:
Between $3,453.01 and $3,504.89 (institutional supply zone)
Look for reversal patterns (bearish engulfing candles, pin bars, M-patterns, RSI/MACD divergences)
🔹 Suggested Entry:
Step-level entry between $3,460 and $3,500
🔹 Stop Loss:
Above $3,550 (last previous high + protection)
🔹 Take Profits:
TP1: $3,239.99
TP2: $3,147.28
TPF: $2,866.94
🔹 Estimated Risk/Reward:
R:B from 1:4 to 1:6, depending on management and execution
💡 Strategy Alternative (Conservative)
Wait for confirmation of a bearish structure (such as a double top or a breakout of the previous low) before entering, with a tighter stop but less exposure.
🔔 Trading Summary
Value Element
Entry $3,460 – $3,500 (supply zone)
Stop Loss > $3,550
TP1 $3,239.99
TP2 $3,147.28
TP Final $2,866.94

Structure: Clean breakout of rising channel and key horizontal resistance zones
-Strong daily candle closed above trendline resistance → this is a confirmed breakout

Gold: Is the end of the fifth wave of the daily correct or the eIf the wave count is correct, the last wave, the fifth wave, has reached its end, which is 61.8% of the third wave. If the wave count is not yet over in smaller trends in small time frames. However, if the market wants to continue to move up, then a correction will start from 3342 or 40. Of course, 3332 is also an important and valid area. But in the longer view, 3376 or 75 is the main target for price growth. Which is evident in the 4-hour time frame wave count. In my opinion, when the gold market opens, it will first have an upward movement and then it should be seen in which direction the selling pressure will be stronger.
Gold Quarterly Shift Analysis - April 2025This post is based on my learnings from #ICT Quarterly Shift Analysis teachings.
----------------------------------------------
Previous Analysis:
In September 2024, I published my quarterly shift analysis for #Gold. Back then, I estimated a shift in the market structure for Gold on or around the US Presidential Election date. It happened exactly as outlined. I estimated Gold would make a bearish move or create a large range; it indeed created a large range and has been moving within the range since then. The top of the range is 2790.10, and the bottom of the range is 2536.60.
Then I posted a new Quarterly Shift Analysis on 13 Jan 2025. I specified the time window for a shift in the market structure to happen, and price indeed delivered as outlined. I said that between the 20th and 31st of January, Gold would determine its new direction. On 30 Jan 2025, Gold created a new all-time high and closed a strong daily candle above the range described before. Gold hit and exceeded all the targets outlined in my analysis.
-------------------------------------------------------
New Quarterly Shift Analysis:
As we get closer to the end of April, Gold seems to be in a rush to make new highs and hit new targets. I believe that from the end of April to the 2nd of May 2025, Gold can hit $3411 and possibly $3498 or $3500. If it's too aggressive, $3582 can also be reached.
Between 30 April and 02 May (NFP Announcement Date), Gold should make a new quarterly shift. The possible scenarios are as follows:
1. Continuation: Gold could make a retracement and then continue the current uptrend for the next 3–4 months. The retracement could go as deep as 3180, 3068 and 2982. The uptrend targets will be the targets mentioned above plus 3618 and 3738.
2. Enter a long-term range (My guess is this is the most likely scenario): Gold could enter a new long-term range for the next 3–4 months. The bottom of the range will be 2958, and the top of the range will be the highest high created by Gold by or before 30 April to 2nd of May. If this scenario happens, it is a good chance to look for sell opportunities near or within the top 25% level of the range and look for buy opportunities near or within the bottom 25% level of the range.
3. Bearish Move: If Gold closes a strong daily candle below 2958, then for the next 3–4 months, it could go lower towards 2832, 2790, 2728, and 2662. This scenario might not be highly likely, but in the event if it happens, it's a wonderful opportunity for long-term Gold investors to buy and hold Gold.
