Gold is in line with the uptrend
After yesterday's sharp rise from 3238, spot gold continued to climb in the Asian market on Tuesday. The price of gold has now broken through the highest level of 3386 US dollars per ounce, and the daily increase is nearly 28 US dollars. At present, the price of gold remains close to the new record, and the rise is far from over. The global trade war has caused market concerns and continued to push the price of gold to new highs. Gold has become an asset for a new round of investment boom!
The market boom is coming, and the gold bulls are coming?
Banking giant Goldman Sachs released a bullish forecast report on gold, saying that if a recession becomes a reality, the gold price target will reach 3880 US dollars per ounce by the end of 2025. The forecast is based on the expectation that concerns about a recession will accelerate the inflow of funds into gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), thereby pushing up gold prices.
In addition, Goldman Sachs warned that if the Federal Reserve loses its independence, the price of gold may soar to 4500 US dollars per ounce.
What do you think of today's gold trend!
Looking back at the current gold and silver, from the market point of view, the gold price trend has been stabilizing above the middle track, and the cycle bulls continue to line up. From the indicator point of view, the middle track has been hooking upward, and there is still room for an upward rebound in the short term. In addition, gold started from 3322 last week, and directly rose from 3322 to 3387. Now it is around 3367. So there is a point to pay attention to today, that is, the position of the middle track of 3334. It is still difficult to say whether it can be stepped back.
Don't expect a deep callback. The only difference between the oscillating market and the unilateral market is that the oscillation will come back, while the unilateral market will not. This is why we always emphasize the need to bring a good stop loss. In terms of the cycle rhythm, we have been participating in the cycle of time and space last week. At present, we can still participate in this pattern. There is one opportunity in the European and US markets. We will start at this time point during the day!
Gold: More near 3350, defend 40, and target the resistance of 3385-90! If it breaks below, wait for the two support levels of 3334-20 before considering!
XAUUSD 15 MINUTESThis chart illustrates a short-term bearish trading setup for Gold (XAU/USD) on a 15-minute timeframe. The trader has identified:
A "SELL ZONE" around 3,380–3,390, indicating a potential reversal area.
LEVEL 1 (~3,370) and LEVEL 2 (~3,355) as possible support areas or price reaction zones.
A final target labeled "TAEGET SUCCESSFUL" (likely meant to be “TARGET SUCCESSFUL”) around 3,325.
The projected price action (marked by the purple line) suggests a short position from the sell zone aiming to hit all three levels, with the ultimate target being around 3,325.

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
It's been a decent week, our KOG Report trading plan worked well giving us the low we wanted to then take the long from. We published the NFP report earlier, that's given us a nice point to point move from above, into the level for the long.
This long now should be protected and managed, ideally we want to hold above the 3255 level and not see this go back again for the BE traders. This time, if it does, it's likely we will close lower on Gold for the week.
Take note, it's bank holiday on Monday in the UK, volume will be thin so make sure to protect any open trades over the weekend, just in case there is news that will affect pricing on market open.
For now, we'll stick with what we're in.
Wishing you all a great weekend ahead, and we'll see you on Sunday for the KOG Report.

* Key horizontal support/resistance levels
* Pivot levels (weekly, daily, monthly)
* Marked **Buy** at 3322.365 and **Sell** at 3318

* Daily High: 3414.790
* Daily Close: 3305.980
* Daily Low: 3286.805
---
### 🔍 **Technical Analysis:**
#### 1. **Trend Context:**
* The overall **short-term trend** is sideways to slightly bearish.
* Recent price action formed **lower highs and higher lows**, indicating **consolidation**.
* Price is currently trading **below the Daily Open** (bearish intraday bias).
* EMAs are converging, showing **reduced momentum** after prior volatility.
#### 2. **Buy Entry at 3322.365:**
* This is a **reasonable support-retest buy**, taken just above a former demand zone and near the **Daily Close**.
* Likely logic: price bounced from the **3310–3318 support area**, tested the weekly pivot zone and EMAs, signaling a bounce.
* **However**, the proximity to strong resistance at 3340–3350, and lack of strong momentum, suggests this buy was short-lived or scalped.
* **Risk:** Weak buying pressure above this level and failure to reclaim 3340 meant it couldn't reach 3360+.
#### 3. **Sell Entry at 3318:**
* This is a **strategic sell**, probably expecting a break below short-term structure and aiming for the 3300/3288 area.
* Price tested the EMAs and was rejected—classic **pullback entry after lower high**.
* A clear **bearish setup**: break below structure, retest and failure at dynamic resistance.
* **Target zones:**
* 3300 – psychological round number + minor support
* 3288/3278 – structural lows
* 3240 – weekly support and major reaction zone
#### 4. **Key Levels & Zones:**
* **Resistance:**
* 3340: Short-term cap
* 3368 – 3382: Supply area
* 3418 – 3450: Strong resistance, but far from current price
* **Support:**
* 3310 – 3300: Near-term support
* 3288 – 3278: Major demand zone (watch for buy reaction)
* 3240: Weekly support – high-probability reaction zone if reached
#### 5. **EMA Structure:**
* EMAs are turning sideways, but currently acting as dynamic resistance.
* Price attempted to reclaim them during the Asian/early European session but was rejected — bearish signal.
#### 6. **Market Sentiment:**
* Momentum has cooled.
* Failure to maintain above 3340 signals weak bullish conviction.
* With price below daily open and rejecting the EMAs, bias is now **tilted bearish** unless 3340 is reclaimed convincingly.
---
### ✅ **Conclusion & Strategy:**
* **Bias:** Bearish below 3340; neutral between 3300–3340; bullish above 3360.
* **If holding short from 3318:** This is a solid entry. Consider partial profits at 3300/3288 and trailing stop to break-even.
* **If looking for re-entry:**
* Sell pullbacks below 3325 if 3300 is broken.
* Buy only with confirmation above 3340 and reclaim of 3360.
* **Upcoming key areas to watch:**
* **3288 – 3278:** Ideal for long entries with tight stops (watch for bounce/candlestick reversal patterns).
* **3368 – 3382:** Strong rejection zone if price reclaims 3340—good for short setups.
Gold Eyes Upside Break – Bullish Outlook for Swing TradersGold (XAUUSD) continues to show strength on the 4-hour chart, maintaining its bullish structure and offering a compelling opportunity for swing traders. The market has recently rejected a key support zone, confirming buyer interest and momentum continuation.
Key Technical Observations
Support Zone Rejection: Price strongly rejected the $3,199–$3,265 support zone, forming a clear bullish response. This zone also coincides with the rising trendline, adding strength to the support.
Trendline Confirmation: The dotted green ascending trendline has been respected multiple times, reinforcing the ongoing uptrend.
Consolidation Breakout: After consolidating for nearly 3 days, price broke above the range, confirming bullish intent.
All-Time High Target: The next major resistance lies near the all-time high at $3,504, which acts as the primary upside target.
Trade Setup
Entry Level: $3,338 (after breakout from consolidation)
Take Profit (TP): $3,504
Stop Loss (SL): $3,265
Risk-Reward Ratio: Approximately 2.28
Gold is clearly bullish on the 4-hour timeframe. The trendline bounce, support zone defense, and breakout from consolidation provide a solid basis for swing traders aiming to capture a move toward the all-time high. As long as price remains above the $3,265 level, bullish positions remain valid.
Gold delivering excellent Trading opportunitiesTechnical analysis: Gold is consolidating on Hourly 4 chart after it entered my expected #3,342.80 - #3,322.80 Neutral Rectangle zone with #3,342.80 as an possible stop and local High’s. Upper maximum extension can reach #3,352.80 benchmark / Hourly 4 chart’s extension if Resistance breaks. Both ways, I doubt that Neutral candles will last for long as Gold will be ready for another Buying or Selling sequence, where another slide might be in the aftertime. It is important to note that DX found the Support and engaged the spiral recovery (# +0.81%) which can add Selling pressure on Gold. I will use this configuration and observing market closing (closing below #3,312.80 confirms the downtrend extension), where Gold is Technically ready for #3,300.80 - #3,252.80 benchmark test. DX however remains merely Neutral on bigger charts however near Lower High’s peak, adding Volatility on Gold counterbalancing mixed values on Yields. This gives me the impression that Gold has at the moment more probabilities to a Short-term uptrend than break below the Support zone. Gold continues to be contained within parabolic uptrend however isolated within Neutral range for the last #1 - #2 consecutive sessions. Daily chart is on (# +0.58%) switch and represents an cautious fractal. Keep in mind that the Medium-term pattern on Daily chart is an Ascending Channel and Gold is on its Higher High’s decimal zone with Lower levels being a potential Lower High’s Target. Total Neutrality and balance between the Support and Resistance lines is consolidation phase of next major move ahead.
My position: I have expected #3,300.80 benchmark touch throughout yesterday's session where I engaged Selling order on #3,345.80 (entry point). Due news outcome, #3,352.80 was tested which triggered my Stop-loss and left me without any orders. Later on, Gold dipped towards #3,300.80 benchmark (what I did expect) as I managed to re-Sell Gold on #3,322.80 and close the order on #3,307.80. I am without any orders as Gold is Trading within Neutral Rectangle. I will Trade the break-out of values I explained above.
Pay attention to 3360 and go short if it does not break🗞News side:
1. China and the United States hold talks on trade issues
2. India-Pakistan conflict escalates again
3. Geopolitical risks
📈Technical aspects:
At present, gold has fallen below the trend line support. In the short term, we should focus on the battle for 3360. This point is not only the previous support-to-resistance level, but also the key signal for judging the trend reversal. If it cannot hold on to this position, the short trend will continue; if it recovers effectively, it may return to above 3400. Before losing the defensive line (the last starting and falling point) 3360-3362, the bears will still have the upper hand. It just so happens that the 4H lifeline is also in the 3360-3362 area. If the suppression is successful, the price will enter the 3362-3284 area from the lifeline to the lower track.
The rebound layout of the US market operation is short-selling, with the target at 3340-3330, and further support at 3310-3300.

Gold Intraday Trading Plan 5/8/2025Gold was rejected yesterday at 3430 and went down all the way to 3360. It will be interesting to see the close of the 4hrly and 8hrly candle. If we see a rejection from 3350-3360. We may have another bull run.
If 3350-3360 is held, I will buy toward 3430 or even 3500. Otherwise, I will wait for clearer direction.
Gold Trading Strategy, May 7-8📊From the hourly level, gold formed a double-needle bottoming pattern near 3360 during the early morning correction, showing strong short-term support. At the same time, 3350, as the low point of yesterday's Asian session correction, also constitutes an important support area at present, which needs to be focused on in the short term.
📊Before the announcement of the Fed's interest rate decision, market sentiment is relatively cautious, and gold is expected to continue to fluctuate at a high level in the range of 3350 to 3400. In terms of trading strategy, you can continue to maintain the idea of selling high and buying low in the range, that is, try to short with a light position near 3400, and try short-term long orders when it falls back to 3350.
📊If gold breaks below the 3350 support line, it means that the short-term structure will weaken. It is recommended to follow the trend and go short. The further downward target can focus on the 3290 line, which is an important platform support area in the early stage.
✅Short-term Trading Strategy:
🔰Within the range (3350-3400): mainly sell high and buy low;
🔰If the support of 3350 is broken: follow the trend and go short, the target is around 3290;
🔴Upper resistance level: 3400-3410;
🟢Lower support level: 3350, 3290.
✅Trading strategies are time-sensitive. We will provide members with real-time and accurate trading strategies based on market changes. Short-term trading requires flexibility, timely adjustment of positions, strict risk control, and ensuring that you are not affected by large fluctuations.

Gold returns to the bull market as expected, follow-up layout🗞News side:
1. The “demand shock” of the Trump administration’s tariffs on the global economy

In terms of operation, we mainly go long by stepping back on 3350-3360, and the target is temporarily looking at 3380-3390. In the middle position, we should watch more and move less, pursue orders cautiously, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market.

Gold (XAU/USD) Analysis – 1D
🏛 1. Current Market Structure
🚀 Gold reached a peak at $3,500 following Trump’s tariff announcement, triggering a sharp bullish reaction.
🔻 This move was followed by a strong correction, leading price back down to key structural support zones.
🌍 2. Bigger Picture Outlook
📉 This violent retracement allowed the market to revisit accumulation areas, including tested supply zones and bullish OTE levels.
🔎 Price seems to be stabilizing now, suggesting a potential directional move could emerge once structure confirms.
🔍 3. Key Technical Observations
⬜️ Supply Zone: A structural area of interest now acting as potential support.
🟦 Bullish OTE: Located lower, it serves as a final line of defense in case of further downside.
📐 Descending trendline is currently being tested — a breakout would confirm bullish momentum shift.
🎯 4. Short-Term Expectations
📉 Controlled pullback scenario:
Price may revisit the supply zone, or even dip into the OTE, to consolidate before a bullish breakout.
📈 Confirmed bullish scenario:
A clean break above the trendline and recent highs would validate a strong reversal and aim again for $3,500+.
🔥 5. Upcoming Catalysts
📰 Geopolitical or economic updates linked to the US (tariffs, inflation).
📊 Institutional reaction to tested support zones.
💡 Volume confirmation on structural breakout.
✅ Conclusion
👉 After a sharp rejection from a geopolitical news-driven spike, gold is now retesting major support zones.
📍 Three key levels to watch:
The Supply Zone
The 50% retracement
The Bullish OTE
🔎 Price action around these areas will determine whether this is just a pullback — or the start of a new bullish leg.
How to layout gold as Sino-US trade eases🗞News side:
1. China-US trade relations eased, suspending some tariffs and countermeasures
2. Russia and Ukraine suspended firing for 30 days, and the India-Pakistan conflict was temporarily mediated
📈Technical aspects:
Affected by the easing of Sino-US economic and trade relations, coupled with the fact that the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations are on the right track and India and Pakistan have suspended firing, the risk aversion sentiment in the gold market has eased, and the gold price has fallen sharply since the opening today. At present, the 3200 line has formed an important short-term support. If the support effect is strong at this point, the gold price may rebound further; if it falls below this key support, it will accelerate the opening of downward space. The upper 3250-3260 is the previous intensive trading area, which will pose a certain pressure in the short term. At the top of the European market, focus on the resistance range of 3250-3260, and at the bottom, the support range is 3210-3200.
🎁BUY 3200-3210
🎁TP 3250-3260
🎁 SELL 3260-3270
🎁 TP 3250-3230

Gold – Focus on the Specific Details of US/China Trade TalksGold prices rallied 0.6% on Friday to close at 3325 as traders rushed to obtain some safe haven protection against the uncertainty of whether the outcome of trade negotiations between the US and China, taking place in Geneva over the weekend, may yield positive or negative results which could have significantly impact all markets on the Monday open.
Roll forward 2 days and Gold has fallen to a low of 3259 (at time of writing) in early Monday trading as traders digest and then react to both the US and China reporting ‘substantial progress’ in their talks. This news seems to have initially boosted risk sentiment and reduced the need for traders to own Gold as a hedge, at least for now anyway.
While light on detail, initial reports indicate that the trade teams from the world’s two biggest economies have agreed to create a mechanism for further talks. US Treasury Secretary Bessant and Trade representative Greer are expected to hold a press briefing later this morning to share more specific details, so there is room for disappointment, which could see Gold rally back to higher levels, or more progress than anticipated by markets, which may see Gold extend its sell off down to potential key technical support levels.
Technical Update: Decision Making Progress Develops
On April 24th 2025, we published a commentary on Gold, highlighting its inability to break above the psychological round number resistance at 3500, from which a sell-off was developing. Please look back at our timeline to read our thoughts at that time.
The setback from these all-time highs at 3500 did extend further, and tests of 3228, which was equal to the 50% Fibonacci retracement (April 7th to April 22nd 2025 price strength) did materialise.
After initially seeing the strong bounce from 3228 last week, it appears that traders may be focusing on this level as a possible important support over coming sessions.
What is the Current Situation for Gold?
While much will depend on future price trends and market sentiment, it could be suggested that recent price activity in Gold since the April 22nd session all-time high, has established both upper and lower extremes of a developing sideways range, between 3228 and 3500.
This type of sideways activity represents something of a ‘balance’ between both buyers and sellers of Gold. Price strength has been met by selling pressure at 3500, while buyers have materialised around 3228, the 50% retracement level.
However, it could even be suggested after the price weakness from last Tuesday’s 3435 session high, immediate resistance could now be lowered to this 3435 level.
Predicting the direction of an eventual range breakout is difficult, and we must wait for either a confirmed closing break below 3228, or above 3435 to suggest the next possible direction of a more sustained phase of price movement. Until such a breakout materialises, extension of the choppy sideways activity, as seen recently, could continue.
Upside Focus: If potential is to turn towards further attempts to extend price strength, it may well be suggested by closes above last week’s 3435 high. While breaks of these 3435 extremes won’t be a guarantee of price strength, it might lead to retests of the psychological 3500 high, even towards 3570, which is the 300% Fibonacci extension of the October 31st to November 14th 2024 decline.
Downside Focus: To the downside, traders may well continue to focus on the 3228 Fibonacci retracement level as support, with closing breaks perhaps pointing to risks for further price declines. Such moves may then lead to weakness towards 3164, which is the lower 61.8% retracement level.
