GOLD | Bullish Mitigation + Inducement Lining Up For Execution(Refined & Structured):
• Pair: XAUUSD (Gold)
• Bias: Bullish
• 4H Overview: Gold broke last week’s previous high, then pulled back and mitigated this week’s order block within the same range. A significant internal high (turnover HH) has now been broken, and price retraced to sweep liquidity and tap into the OB zone.
• 30M Structure: Now watching for a clean pullback into a refined OB after taking out sell-side liquidity/inducement. Structure is aligning perfectly for the next leg up.
• Entry Zone: Once price enters the OB zone, I’ll be watching the 5M for church-level confirmation. Execution follows once LTF speaks clearly.
• Targets: 5M to 30M structural highs depending on delivery.
• Mindset Note: I’m not rushing. Just following structure and reading price. Analysis mode right now—execution comes once price gives the sermon.
XAUUSDK trade ideas
How to seize the key turning points in the gold market?The market is ever-changing, and following the trend is the best strategy. When the trend emerges, jump in; don't buy against it, or you'll suffer. Remember not to act on impulse when trading. The market is a haven for all kinds of resistance, so don't hold onto positions. I'm sure many people have experienced this: the more you hold onto positions, the more panic you become, leading to ever-increasing losses, poor sleep, and missed opportunities. If you share these concerns, why not try following Tian Haoyang's lead and see if it can open your eyes? I'm always here for you if you need help, but how can I help you if you don't even offer a hand?
Gold did not fall below 3280 during the day on Friday and started to fluctuate in the range of 3280-3300. The non-farm payroll data was bullish, and it directly broke through the pressure of 3315, and then broke through the important pressure of 3335 again. As of now, it has reached a high near 3355. The non-farm payroll data market has almost been exhausted. Next, we will focus on the technical form adjustment. At present, you can consider light shorting in the area near 3355-3370. After all, chasing long is risky, and the technical side needs to be adjusted. If your current operation is not ideal, I hope I can help you avoid detours in your investment. Welcome to communicate with me.
Based on the 4-hour chart, short-term resistance is near 3355-3365, with a focus on the key resistance level of 3370-3375. Short-term buy orders should be taken if a rebound continues. I'll provide detailed trading strategies at the bottom of the page, so stay tuned.
Gold operation strategy: Short gold in batches when gold rebounds to 3355-3370, with the target being the area around 3340-3335. Continue to hold if it breaks through.
Bottoming out? Be wary of the market.After a sharp drop to around 3300 on Monday, gold rebounded, reaching a high of around 3330 so far.
From the 1-hour chart,Gold has now broken out and stabilized within the hourly chart's downward trend channel. The key upward level is currently around 3330. If it breaks above 3330 again, caution is advised; it may test 3345-3350. Conversely, if it fails to break above 3330, gold may consolidate between 3300-3330 before the non-farm payrolls release.
From a short-term 15-minute perspective, the current 15-minute range has been broken out and stabilized. The current situation is unfavorable for bears. Based on the trend, a breakout above the 15-minute range would indicate a rebound. However, until 3330 holds, the 3320-3330 range is the only option. However, the current trend favors a bullish pullback, so I'm not too keen on shorting. Therefore, focus on support at 3320.
If it fails to break below 3320, enter a long position near 3320. The upper target is the top of the 3345-3350 range.
Excellent Profit on my Selling ordersAs discussed throughout my Friday's session commentary: "My position: I am Highly satisfied with recent results and will take early weekend break (no need to Trade more). If however you decide to Trade today, Sell every High's on Gold / no Buying until Monday's session (my practical suggestion)."
I have successfully re-Sold Gold from #3,338.80 with set of Selling orders, first batch I have closed around #3,327.80 Support for the fractal and second batch on #3,320.80 / another Support in extension / Highly satisfied with my Profits. I was aware that if Gold invalidates #3,318.80 Support / #3,310.80 extension can follow my Profit was already great to allow myself to Risk more which can backfire anytime.
Technical analysis: Not a bad start of the Trading week overall as the Price-action followed yesterday's session Gravestone Doji reversal formation into series of Bearish Hourly 4 chart’s candles, Gold is settling for a new Higher Low’s within former Hourly 4 chart’s Descending Channel. Despite this, the Weekly (#1W) candle remains on a (# -1.83%) and mostly Bearish values on my instruments. Daily chart continues to pile heavy Selling pressure on Gold so Technically my Short positions will see their value. The current Price-action is exactly on the Higher Low’s Upper zone as there is significantly more potential on the downside and as a results I do expect #3,300.80 psychological benchmark test as current decline is directly correlated with uptrend extension on DX (# +1.03%) and will most likely close the week in green values.
My position: I will continue re-Sells starting with #3,332.80 Resistance and my continuation will be re-Sell every High's on Gold unless Gold closes the market above #3,352.80 benchmark.
Gold bulls are under pressure to adjust and continue to increase
Gold prices continued their strong upward trend yesterday amidst volatile trading. Gold prices strengthened strongly around the 3345 level during the Asian and European sessions, rising through 3370 in the European session and continuing their upward trend. Gold then retreated and tested the 3361 level before stabilizing and accelerating higher through 3380 before closing strongly. The daily K-line closed with a volatile breakout above the highs, forming a pattern of consecutive rising highs. Gold prices continue to strengthen in the short term, reaching as high as 3385 but failing to hold, indicating significant upward pressure. A break above 3400 would likely target 3430; otherwise, a deeper correction could be in the offing. Technically, adjustments are needed, so excessive buying into the rally is advised. If your current trading is not ideal, I hope I can help you avoid investment setbacks. Welcome to discuss your options.
Based on the 4-hour chart, support is currently focused on the 3350-55 area. Rebounds to this level will maintain a bullish trend. The short-term bullish trend line is focused on the 3330-35 area. If the daily chart stabilizes above this level, continue to buy on dips and follow the trend. I will provide detailed trading strategies during the trading session, so please stay tuned.
Gold Trading Strategies:
1. Short gold on a rebound to the 3385-90 area, then cover your short position at the 3395-3400 area. Target: 3345-50, stop loss: 3405.
2. Go long on a pullback to the 3350-55 area, stop loss: 3323, target: 3390-3395. Hold if it breaks through.
Gold Technical Outlook
Gold is currently consolidating inside a triangle pattern. After a recent bullish rally, price retraced between the 61.8% – 76.4% Fibonacci levels, finding support and bouncing upward. At present, gold is facing resistance at both the falling trendline and the 3298–3300 zone.
Bullish Scenario:
A breakout above the resistance trendline and the 3298–3300 zone could trigger a strong bullish move toward 3311, 3322, and 3333. A sustained break above 3333 would confirm a short-term bullish trend, opening the way for higher targets at 3360 and 3400.
Bearish Scenario:
If price faces rejection from the 3300 resistance and the falling trendline, gold is expected to move lower, retesting 3270. A decisive break below 3270 may extend the decline toward 3250. If 3250 is broken, gold could enter strong bearish momentum, potentially shifting the long-term trend to the downside with targets at 3000 and 2850.
OANDA:XAUUSD Gold Technical Outlook
Gold prices are fluctuating. Is a correction coming?Gold surged last Friday, directly breaking through multiple moving average resistance levels. This trend is quite strong. Currently, the 5-day moving average has turned upward, indicating short-term upward momentum; however, the 10-day moving average remains slightly downward, indicating some divergence in the short- and medium-term trends. The 20- and 30-day moving averages have flattened. Overall, the short-term moving averages are less reliable, making it difficult to clearly predict the precise short-term trend based on them.
Since mid-May, gold has been fluctuating widely at high levels. Within this trend pattern, continued monitoring of fluctuations within this broad range is warranted. Until a major trend breakout occurs, the overall approach should be to maintain a volatile outlook and avoid prematurely declaring a unilateral trend.
The upper resistance level is around 3375, which has been repeatedly suppressed during previous price fluctuations. Focus on support in the 3340-3335 area below. This marks the low point after last Friday's sharp rise. The market has stabilized in this area and continued its upward trend. If the decline is significant, the 3300 round-number resistance level will need to be monitored.
Trading strategy:
For aggressive trading, short around 3375 with a stop-loss at 3385 and a profit range of 3345-3335.
Roadmap to 3982: Key Long Entries and Profit ZonesThe initial long entry zone is between 3290 and 3275 .
From this range, an uptrend is expected to begin, targeting 3416 , which is our first exit point to close the initial long position.
After that, we wait for the next long entry , ideally around 3333 to 3319 . A new upward movement from this range is expected to reach 3455 . At this level, we continue to hold the position while placing the stop loss at the entry level to protect profits.
The next take profit target is 3650 , which may be reached by the end of 2025 or in 2026.
The final target is 3982 , which is likely to be hit in 2026, as the market may not have enough strength to reach it in 2025.
XAUUSD - 29/7/25 - continued bearish There was quite strong bearish momentum yesterday during the US session. Going into Asian session and London session today there is a consolidation bullish. There is a 4 hour zone marked out where i am looking for a retest and continuation bearish to a key zone below where a reversal pivot is expected and then continuing bullish with the larger trend.

GOLD down slightly, watch today's data, technical conditionsOANDA:XAUUSD edged lower in Asian trading on Tuesday (August 5), currently trading around $3,380/ounce. On Tuesday, the US ISM services PMI will be released, which is the most important economic data of the week and is expected to impact the gold market.
OANDA:XAUUSD prices surged after weak jobs data increased the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates.
Data released last Friday showed that the number of new jobs in the US non-farm sector in July was much lower than expected, and the total number of non-farm jobs in the first two months was revised down by 258,000, indicating a sharp deterioration in the labor market.
Traders now see an 87% chance of a rate cut in September, up from 63% last week, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. Expectations of a rate cut have boosted gold prices, as the dollar provides support for the precious metal.
The US ISM non-manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) for July will be released today (Tuesday) and is expected to be 51.5, up from 50.8 previously.
The July ISM services PMI could impact the US dollar and gold, depending on whether it is biased towards supporting a rate cut or pausing rate cuts for an extended period.
Gold itself does not generate interest, but generally performs well in low-interest-rate environments and is seen as an inflation hedge.
On the trade front
Today (August 5), US President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Indian goods in protest at India's purchase of Russian oil. New Delhi called Trump's attack "absurd" and pledged to protect its economic interests, deepening the trade rift between the two countries.
Trump posted on the social media platform Truth Social: "India not only buys massive amounts of Russian oil, but also sells much of it on the open market at a huge profit. They don't care how many people are being killed in Ukraine by the Russian war machine."
Trump added: "Accordingly, I will be substantially increasing the tariffs that India pays to the United States."
However, Trump did not specify the specific tariff amount.
Responding to Trump's remarks, an Indian foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday that India would "take all necessary measures to protect its national interests and economic security." The spokesperson added: "These actions against India are unjustified and unjustifiable."
Over the weekend, Reuters reported that India would continue to buy oil from Russia despite Trump’s threats.
In July, Trump announced that he would impose a 25% tariff on imports from India, and US officials have also pointed to a range of geopolitical issues as holding up the signing of a US-India trade deal.
Trump has also described the BRICS group as generally hostile to the US. Those countries have rejected Trump’s accusations, saying the group protects the interests of its members and the developing world as a whole.
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, although gold has been very volatile in recent times, it is still moving sideways, with price action clinging to the EMA21. And after a strong recovery in the past three trading sessions, gold is temporarily limited by the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level, which was the bullish target that readers paid attention to earlier. The return above the EMA21 provides gold with initial conditions for bullish expectations, but a new trend has not yet formed.
If gold takes its price action above the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level and stabilizes above it, it will have room to continue rising with the next target being the raw price point of $3,400 rather than the $3,430-$3,450 target. But at its current position, it still has no clear trend either up or down.
Meanwhile, once gold sells below the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement level, it could continue to decline with a target of $3,246 in the short term, which also means that the $3,300 – $3,292 area is the current key support area.
Momentum-wise, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also hovering around 50 with little fluctuation, indicating a hesitant sentiment in the market without leaning to either side.
For the day, the technical outlook for gold is a sideways consolidation but the technical conditions are slightly more bullish, and the notable positions are listed as follows.
Support: $3,350 – $3,340 – $3,300
Resistance: $3,400 – $3,430

XAUUSD Live Trade with 11,641 USD ProfitsI managed to ride the momentum last night on XAUUSD and made over 11,641 usd profit on a live trading account. Gold usually create a range. It will create a top and a bottom then it will spend most of its time inside that range. That is pretty much how XAUUSD moves. If you can identify the top and the bottom then you can short it from the top and do a long trade on the bottom. The price will just travel from bottom to top and top to bottom. You can scalp your way to profits on this move if you can time it properly. Once in a while, a break from the top or the bottom happens. This is where you switch from trading the range to trading breakouts.
When you trade breakouts, you must trade it with the knowledge that less than 15 percent of breakouts are successful. Failed breakouts are very common. You need to have some form of stoploss below your breakout levels. You will know that the breakout fails once your stoploss is hit. If the breakout is successful then ride it. Do not put some TP (target price or take profit price) rather just trail your profits. Move your stops a few pips behind the price. Just enough distance to let the price breathe. If the price reverses then it will hit your stops. If the breakout is strong then you will ride it for a while until it reverses.
It will form another top and bottom again and move inside that range. Switch your approach again in trading long trades near the bottom and short trades near the top.
Just remember to always have some stoploss on every trade and never try to predict what the market will do or how the price will move. Let the market do its thing and just react to its movements.
Goodluck on your trades.
GOLD for short timeCaption important🛑🛑🛑
Hello to all traders. 😎😎
I hope all your deals will hit their targets. 🎉🎉
Gold has broken a key trendline on the 4H chart, and I believe the bearish move could continue today, potentially down to at least $3300.
My expectation is that price will first reach the $3335–$3340 zone. From there, you can look for a good short opportunity, with a suggested stop-loss at $3355.
If you’re willing to take on more risk, you could consider opening a short position from the current level around $3325, using a reasonable position size.
Personally, I prefer to wait for price to reach the orange zone ($3335) and enter a solid short position from there.

XAU / USD 1 Hour ChartHello traders. Taking a look at the hourly chart, it's kind of ugly. Smart trades would wait until we get out of all this cluster. Saying that, I have marked some potential scalp trade set ups for either buy or sells trades. This is just an idea, not trading advice. I am not trading as of now, I would rather wait for a better set up. For people who are more risk takers, there are plenty of trades out there, but for me, I am just monitoring for the best trade set up to ensure a good win. Big G gets my thanks. Let's see how the next 30 min. candle and hourly close. Be well an trade the trend. Happy Tuesday.

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD, August 4, 2025📊
🔍 Momentum Analysis:
D1 Timeframe: Momentum continues to rise strongly. It's expected that the price will keep rising for at least two more trading days, pushing the momentum indicator into the overbought territory, reinforcing the current bullish trend.
H4 Timeframe: Momentum is showing signs of a potential bearish reversal, indicating a possible corrective pullback during Monday’s trading session.
H1 Timeframe: Momentum is strongly bullish, especially evident from the powerful upward move on Friday. Price may continue rising at the open of the Asian session, potentially creating a Gap. However, caution is advised, as this Gap could signal exhaustion.
📌 Wave Pattern Analysis:
Given Friday's strong price action, the primary scenario currently favors wave 3 within the 5-wave bullish structure (12345 – black). However, we cannot entirely eliminate the possibility that this is wave C within an ABC corrective structure (black).
Presently, the price is forming a smaller 5-wave bullish structure (blue), likely in the final wave 5. Attention should be paid to two critical target zones:
🎯 Blue Wave 5 Targets:
• Target 1: 3368
• Target 2: 3385
⚠️ Next Scenario:
Upon completing the blue 5-wave structure, a corrective move downward will occur.
• If the correction does not break below 3315, the larger 5-wave bullish structure (12345 – black) is confirmed, and the price will continue upward to complete black wave 5.
• If the correction breaks below 3315, the structure shifts to an ABC corrective pattern (black), increasing the likelihood of a deeper decline to complete the larger corrective wave C (red).
🧩 Combining Momentum & Wave Analysis:
• D1 momentum strongly supports the continuation of the bullish trend.
• H4 momentum forecasts a short-term bearish correction on Monday, aligning with the formation of wave 4 correction.
• H1 momentum suggests the possibility of a Gap at Monday's Asian session open, marking the beginning of a corrective pullback as momentum reverses.
🎯 Short-term Trading Plan:
We will trade the current blue wave 5 with the following limit order plan:
✅ Sell Limit Zone: 3385 – 3387
⛔️ Stop Loss (SL): 3399
🎯 Take Profit (TP1): 3368
🎯 Take Profit (TP2): 3355
📌 Note:
The detailed trading plan for capturing the larger wave 4 correction (black) will be updated once sufficient evidence confirms the completion of the blue wave 5.
Happy trading, everyone! 🚀
