Gold Trade Against the Odds: When Emotion Meets StrategyThis may not be the best decision right now — I understand that — but it's one of those " I'm exhausted and just want to buy " moments.
The setup isn’t fully formed yet, but I have a strong feeling we’re going higher. I like the chart structure: low volatility, a spike to 3430 followed by a pullback to the moving averages without breaking key levels. I also like the tight stop at 1.2%.
I’m buying gold at the current level, around 3355.
📝Trading Plan
Entry: I’m buying gold at the current level, around 3355
Stop Loss: Stop at 3315
Target: 3425, 3500, and beyond.

Gold Intraday Trading Plan 7/24/2025Yesterday in lower TF, gold was testing the resistance line for a couple of times but failed to maintain it. It quickly dropped back into the line and closed the day under 3400. Daily, it still looks bullish but in lower TF, it is still bearish.
Therefore, I will be cautious in placing buying orders today. As long as 3373 still holds, I am still bullish in gold. I will look for set up around this level and my 1st target will be around 3415. Final target for today is 3450.
XAUUSD Monthly Technical OutlookMarket Structure Overview:
• The chart reveals consistent Breaks of Structure (BOS) to the upside, confirming a strong bullish market trend.
• Price has successfully reclaimed and retested the strong resistance zone (~3390–3400), which now acts as new support.
• A series of higher highs and higher lows show clear bullish intent, supported by sustained bullish momentum after each correction.
⸻
📈 Volume & Price Action:
• The Volume Profile (VRVP) on the left shows strong historical accumulation near the current breakout zone.
• After the breakout from resistance, the price retested this zone—validating it as support—and is expected to continue its bullish leg toward $3,500, the next psychological and technical target.
⸻
📍 Key Levels:
• Support Zone: $3,375 – $3,390 (previous resistance turned support)
• Immediate Resistance: $3,425
• Target Level: $3,500 (Monthly High Projection)
⸻
📘 Educational Note:
• This setup aligns with classic market structure theory: BOS + Retest + Continuation.
• The pullback into the breakout zone is a textbook bullish continuation signal often used in institutional trading strategies.
• Traders watching this pattern should combine it with confirmation entries such as bullish engulfing candles, FVGs, or order block rejections for safer entries.
⸻
🎯 Projection:
• As long as the price holds above $3,375, the bullish scenario toward $3,500 remains valid.
• Expect possible consolidation or minor pullbacks before continuation.

XAU/USD: Golden Breakout to $3400?XAU/USD: Golden Opportunity Ahead XAU/USD is testing a key support at $3345, with a bullish setup forming on the 1-hour chart. Entry at $3345 offers a high-probability trade, targeting $3400 where the next resistance aligns. Set a stop loss at $3320 to manage risk below the recent support. A break above $3350 with strong volume could confirm the move. Watch for US dollar weakness as a catalyst. Trade smart!

Gold Bullish Momentum still strongGeneral trend and momentum is still to the upside. We now have a nice pullback and an opportunity to buy low again. Price is currently reacting to an H1 TF demand zone. If this zone breaks, look for entries in H4 demand and continue to ride the bulls to All Time Highs.
Gold selling pressure decreased at the end of the week⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold price (XAU/USD) remains under modest pressure during Friday’s Asian session, unable to build on the previous rebound from the mid-$3,300s. Renewed strength in the US Dollar, which extends its recovery from a multi-week low, acts as a headwind for the non-yielding metal. Additionally, fresh optimism surrounding the US-Japan trade agreement has dampened safe-haven demand, keeping gold on the defensive for the third consecutive day.
That said, lingering uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s rate-cut trajectory, along with concerns about its independence amid growing political pressure, could limit the USD's upside. Meanwhile, rising geopolitical tensions—this time along the Thailand-Cambodia border—may lend some support to bullion. Investors now await US Durable Goods Orders data, which could influence the greenback’s direction and provide short-term cues for the XAU/USD pair going into the weekend.

XAUUSD 4H Golden Cross preparing a massive break-out.Gold (XAUUSD) has been trading on a 3-week Channel Up, which is approaching its top but at the same time, it's been trading within a 3-month Triangle, which is also approaching its top.
The key here is the formation today of a Golden Cross on the 4H time-frame, the first since May 28. Being at the end of the long-term Triangle pattern is technically translated to the structure's tendency to look for a decisive break-out above its top that attracts volume (buyers).
It is possible to see an initial rejection followed by a break-out that will re-test the top of the Triangle as Support and then follow the long-term trend dynamics. Those are technically bullish and previous break-out in April targeted the 2.618 Fibonacci extension. Our Target remains a little below it at $3770.

XAUUSD Daily Outlook – July 21, 2025Hey traders 💙
Gold continues to move inside a high timeframe range, with both bulls and bears defending structure at the edges. Price remains stuck between supply and demand — and only the strongest levels matter now. Here’s how the chart truly looks:
🔸 Key Supply Zones
1. 3380–3405: Main Daily Supply / Liquidity Pool Above
This is the top wall of the current range and the zone with the highest supply. Multiple failed breakouts, long upper wicks, and a clear cluster of liquidity just above. Unless we get a solid daily close above 3405, this area remains a trap for late buyers and a magnet for liquidity grabs.
2. 3355–3375: Internal Supply / Inducement Block
This zone has acted as an internal ceiling since the last CPI event. Here, price repeatedly failed to close above, and every return has produced quick rejections or fake breakouts. It often works as an inducement, catching breakout buyers and flipping the market lower.
🔹 Key Demand Zones
1. 3312–3300: Internal Demand / Mid-range Reaction
Here we see a clear reaction point where buyers have defended aggressively after CPI and NY session moves. It’s an internal demand area, often working as a temporary bounce or a place for stop hunts before larger moves.
2. 3275–3250: Main Daily Demand / Liquidity Pool Below
This is the base of the range, holding as support multiple times this month. Every dip into this zone has triggered large bounces, but the liquidity sitting below is also a key magnet for potential sweeps. Only a full daily breakdown here would flip the higher timeframe bias bearish.
📊 Technical Structure & Strategy
We are stuck between Main Supply (3380–3405) and Main Demand (3275–3250).
Every “middle” move is either inducement or a set-up for liquidity collection — not a real trend.
No daily close above 3405 → no bullish continuation.
No breakdown below 3250 → no clean bearish momentum.
Your edge: Only act when price confirms a reaction at a major zone with CHoCH/BOS, strong OB, or a liquidity sweep.
🧠 Takeaway:
This is not the time to guess direction — let the market show its intent at the edges. Use TradingView alerts on your key levels, be ready for volatility from macro news, and don’t get trapped in the mid-range games.

XAUUSD Elliotwaves updateWe are yet to complete wave 4. So far the structures supports the triangle correction and price completed wave "d" and started final wave "e". If we are correct we should expect price make another 3 waves down to complete wave 4 and then resume the bullish momentum. To take advantage of the overall trend one should find areas where price has high probability of finding support to take the trade.
XAUUSD analysis - 1H FVG and OB setupsOn the 1H timeframe, price is reacting as it approaches the HTF high zone (3430-3450) and is currently pulling back.
The 1H FVG zones at:
🔹 3400
🔹 3368
and the 1H OB around 3350 are key areas we are watching for potential long entries.
📌 Plan:
We will wait for price to pull back into one of these 1H FVG/OB zones and look for entry confirmations on the 5M or 3M timeframe to go long.
🎯 Targets: 3430 – 3440 – 3450
❌ No sell setup for now unless a clear structure break happens.
"Gold at a Crossroads: 4H Close Below $3358 Could Trigger Major Technical Analysis
Key Levels:
Resistance Zones:
$3,451.42 – Major resistance.
~$3,410 – Mid-range resistance zone.
Support Zones:
$3,358 – Key support zone (critical level).
$3,330.50 – Secondary support.
$3,283.22 and $3,253.35 – Deeper support levels.
Current Price Action:
Price is currently trading at $3,366.47, pulling back after hitting a local top.
The yellow zone marks a decision area: Price may either bounce up or break down.
Two Scenarios Outlined:
🔼 Bullish Scenario: If price holds above $3,358 and breaks above the yellow zone, it may aim for $3,410 or even $3,451.
🔽 Bearish Scenario: A 4H candle close below $3,358 could signal continuation down toward $3,330, $3,283, and possibly $3,253.
From Breakdown to Breakout? Gold Eyes Support Based Reversal!Gold is approaching a critical support area.
Previously, the price was holding above a key support level, but that zone has now been breached and is likely to act as resistance going forward. However, just beneath the current price, there's a well-established support level still intact—reinforced further by the presence of a bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG).
This setup hints at a possible reversal or a short-term surge from this zone. If market conditions align, gold may stage a pump from here. Keep this level on your radar—it could turn into a decisive point for price direction.
