Gold Price ActionHello, Currently, price is in a Compression Phase after a strong Resistance Breakout (RBO). This tight consolidation is creating liquidity on both sides—setting up for a potential breakout.
What to Watch:
Compression Phase = Liquidity Building
Price is moving within a narrow range, trapping traders and stacking orders above and below.
We're waiting for a clean breakout of this range.
After the breakout, price is likely to retrace back toward the base (marked zone) before making a strong move toward the Buy Side Liquidity (BSL).
🎯 Trade Plan:
Wait for the compression to break. A return to the base zone could offer an entry, with BSL as the target (TP).
⚠️ Stay patient and avoid early entries—let the breakout confirm the move.
✅ Patience is key—wait for confirmation and manage risk smartly.
Gold rises strongly and bulls restart!Gold technical analysis: From a technical point of view, the daily line rose on Monday, showing an absolutely strong positive state. Normally, the daily cycle rises and we can see that the upper Bollinger track is near 3500, so there is a lot of room above, and we should pay attention to the continuation of this wave. The 4-hour cycle still needs a wave of strength, and it needs to go out of a big rise before it can open the upper Bollinger track and form an absolute unilateral strength. Therefore, although it is clearly bullish for the time being, there is also a certain possibility of adjustment. At present, the support of the 4-hour cycle is near 3330. If there is a chance of a decline, we can follow the bullish trend.
On the whole, the short-term operation strategy for gold today is to focus on buying on pullbacks and shorting on rebounds. The short-term focus on the upper side is the 3415-3420 line of resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 3330-3350 line of support.
Short order strategy:
Strategy 1: Short 20% of the gold position in batches when it rebounds to around 3415-3420, stop loss 6 points, target around 3390-3380, and look at the 3360 line if it breaks;
Long order strategy:
Strategy 2: Long 20% of the gold position in batches when it pulls back to around 3350-3352, stop loss 6 points, target around 3380-3400, and look at the 3420 line if it breaks;
Gold – Bulls in Control, but Watch Key Support Gold remains extremely volatile. After finding support around 3200 at the beginning of the month, the price surged nearly 2500 pips within just three trading days, reaching above 3400.
Currently, the price has pulled back and has tested the 3360 zone over night– a former resistance turned support.
Two Scenarios to Watch:
- Bullish Case: If 3360 holds, bulls could push for a retest of the 3500 zone.
- Bearish Case: A clear break below 3360 would confirm a lower high, potentially opening the door for a deeper correction back to 3270.
For now, I’m on the sidelines, waiting for more clarity around this critical support.

GOLD (XAUUSD): Trading Plan BEFORE FOMC
Gold bounced yesterday, as I predicted.
Today, we see a retest of a broken daily resistance
that turned into support after a breakout.
BEFORE FED Rate Decision today, there is another opportunity
to buy Gold:
I see a double bottom pattern on an hourly time frame.
Bullish violation of its neckline and an hourly candle close above
3394 will provide a strong intraday confirmation.
It will push the prices at least to 3429 level.

The latest ideas on gold.Gold prices are still in a long-term bullish trend, and recent operations still maintain the idea of buying on dips; in the medium term, it may fluctuate at a high level, and mid-term operations need to be treated with caution. With the short-term rise in the European session, gold is waiting for a decline to go long.
XAUUSD H4 Outlook – Monday, May 12, 2025Short-Term Bias: Bullish retracement toward premium zones
Structure: CHoCH confirmed at 3284 → forming potential bullish leg inside retracement
🔍 Recent Price Action (H4 Insight):
Clear CHoCH on H4 above 3292 → short-term structure flipped bullish.
Last impulsive leg pushed price into the 3330–3345 zone before rejecting slightly — signs of near-term resistance.
EMA5 and EMA21 are crossing upward, with price trying to retest EMA21 for a bounce.
Next H4 candle closure is critical — either holds 3290 for continuation or re-tests deeper zone.
📌 Key H4 Zones
Zone / Level Description
3380–3395 🔺 H4 FVG + OB zone – major near-term premium resistance (also Daily level)
3340–3345 🔁 H4 internal resistance – Friday top, low-volume gap area
3314–3318 🔁 Micro H4 imbalance – intraday fill zone
3284–3292 ✅ H4 CHoCH + OB – current bullish base, critical to hold
3250–3265 🔵 Deep demand – final intraday bounce zone before HTF demand
These levels will be your H4 battle zones — where price is likely to bounce, reverse, or accelerate depending on confirmation.
🔁 Potential Flow on Monday:
Bullish scenario:
If price holds 3284–3292 → intraday targets = 3318 → 3340 → 3380.
Clean structure = higher low + EMA support confluence.
Bearish scenario:
If price loses 3284 → could test 3250–3265. Only below this would invalidate current H4 bullish flow.
⚠️ Confluence Check:
EMAs: EMA5 crossing up through EMA21 → short-term bullish momentum building
Liquidity: Buy-side above 3345 → price may attempt sweep if supported
FVGs: Still unfilled gaps between 3314 and 3380 → magnet zones for bullish flow
CHoCH: Valid on 3284 → first HL attempt happening now
🧠 H4 Summary (for May 12):
Type Zone Reaction Potential
Resistance 3380–3395 Strong rejection possible
3340–3345 May slow price if volume weak
Support 3284–3292 Critical bullish structure zone
3250–3265 Breaker block zone (last bounce before HTF demand)
💬 Final Word to the Community:
Gold may have paused its moon mission at 3500, but the engines are refueling. Monday’s battle will be all about 3284 — hold it, and bulls might just take flight toward 3380. Lose it, and we buckle in for a deeper dip.
🟡 Whether you’re team buy-the-dip or wait-for-the-fade… stay sharp, stay patient, and always follow structure.

Lingrid | GOLD Accelerating BEARISH Momentum in the MARKETOANDA:XAUUSD recently faced rejection at a lower high within the resistance zone and is now trading beneath a firm downward trendline. After a failed attempt to hold above $3,264, price has dropped sharply, signaling continuation of the bearish momentum that began after the breakout failed to sustain. The downtrend remains intact with sellers eyeing deeper support unless bulls reclaim $3,264 with momentum.
📌 Key Levels
Support zone: $3,150
Breakout target: $3,150
Invalidation level: $3,264 (local resistance / trendline retest)
⚠️ Risks
Short-term rebounds may test the trendline before continuation
False breakdown risk exists near $3,150 without volume support
Unexpected bullish reversal above $3,264 would invalidate bearish bias

Gold's Symmetrical Triangle Near Break – Support Test Imminent!Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) moved as I expected in my previous post and attacked the Support zone($3,282-$3,245) and Support lines for the second time . The question is, can Gold break the Support zone($3,282-$3,245) and Support lines or not!?
Please stay with me .
Gold is moving between Support zone($3,282-$3,245) and Resistance zone($3,386-$3,357) again . In fact, it can be said that Gold has been moving in a range for the past 5-6 days .
From a Classical Technical Analysis perspective, Gold appears to be forming a Symmetrical Triangle Pattern. A break of either line could indicate the next direction for Gold, but since the Symmetrical Triangle Pattern is a Continuation Pattern , the lower line is more likely to break .
In terms of Elliott Wave Theory analysis , it seems that we still have to wait for the next five downwaves .
------------------------------------------
Today, important U.S. data — JOLTS Job Openings and CB Consumer Confidence — will be released.
Let’s quickly review their potential impact on Gold:
JOLTS Job Openings :
If the number comes lower than expected , it signals a weakening labor market, increasing the chances of a dovish Fed → Bullish for Gold .
If the number is stronger than expected , it indicates a robust labor market, pushing the Fed to stay hawkish → Bearish for Gold .
CB Consumer Confidence :
A drop in consumer confidence reflects economic worries , driving demand for safe-haven assets like Gold → Bullish .
A rise in consumer confidence shows economic strength, reducing the appeal of Gold → Bearish .
Historical Impact :
Both indices have caused strong intraday moves in Gold recently, especially if the figures surprise the market.
Summary :
Weak JOLTS and low Confidence → Gold bullish
Strong JOLTS and high Confidence → Gold bearish
Be prepared for high volatility during the releases. Always manage your risk carefully!
------------------------------------------
I expect Gold to attack the Support zone($3,282-$3,245) and Support lines for at least the third time , and if it breaks, the next target could be $3,223 .
Note: If Gold can move above $3,393, we can expect more pumps and maybe make a new All-Time High(ATH).

Gold awaits Fed / Buy every dipTechnical analysis: Wednesday’s session Inverted Hammer practically took Gold nowhere as Hourly 1 chart remained ranged within Higher High’s Upper and Lower zone, closing out last and this week on an expected positive note. The Monthly (#1M) candle remains on decent gains (# +11.57%) and the last two sessions on the second Highest Volume throughout April - May (this is translated to Gold’s cyclical behavior which I spotted lately when #2-High Volumed sessions are delivered, strong move follows). Despite the Higher High’s, it is clear that since the #3,400.80 local High’s, Gold undergoes a consolidation phase with equal demand and supply, which according to previous models is an Resistance zone preparation for the next leg Lower or Higher regarding Weekly chart (#1W). I remain idle until Fed announcement while Buying every dip last #2-session horizon.

#XAUUSD: Price to go beyond $3650 to $3700 around 3500 pips moveThe XAUUSD price is moving nicely as we had predicted in our previous analysis. Both of our analyses have hit the take-profit target, and we are likely to see more bullish momentum continue in the coming time. There are two areas where price could move or reverse. Both targets have a long-term view, which means we are talking about a possible swing move that will take time to complete. Stop-loss and intraday target and position can be taken based on your own analysis and overview. Strong fundamentals are needed for price to reach our designated target area.
Good luck and trade safely. Trading financial instruments like gold and other markets brings extreme risk and can be severe if the risk is not managed correctly.
We are sharing our bias here, but it does not guarantee that the move will happen as described.
Once the trade is activated, you can set two targets. You can choose your own take-profit based on your analysis and trade management.
Good luck and trade safely! 😊

Gold: The Start Of The C Wave (Extreme Danger!)After the FED announces their business Gold (XAUUSD) is likely to crash-down and hard.
I will support my statement with data coming from this chart.
The crash doesn't necessarily need to happen instantly. My idea is that we are witnessing a classic ABC correction in Elliott Wave Theory terminology. Let's dive in.
» Trading volume peaked in early April and has been dropping considerably.
» The ATH session ended as a very strong bearish (reversal) signal.
» There is a strong bearish divergence with the RSI. The RSI peaked February 2025 while Gold (XAU) peaked recently. Here is the chart:
Currently, Gold is showing a bounce until the resumption of the corrective bearish move.
Gold is set to move lower based on my interpretation of this chart. Approach with caution, or, go SHORT. You can't go wrong by shorting the top/resistance. Sell at resistance, buy at support.
Namaste.
Gold operation strategyFrom the 4-hour analysis, the support below is around 3300-08. If it does not break, continue to be bullish. Pay attention to the short-term suppression of 3360-66 above. If the daily level stabilizes above this position, continue to maintain the low-multiple rhythm.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Go long when gold falls back to 3320-25, and cover long positions when it falls back to 3300-10, stop loss 3297, target 3355-3360, and continue to hold if it breaks;
sell zone is hereThe price has been in the sell zone. I am using the modified Fiboretracement. The price has shown strength to go down. Now the price is performing a pullback. If the price rises to the cutloss level, then we will cutloss. We have done the analysis, the rest we will wait to see what will happen.
XAU/USD Analysis: Chart Indicates Elevated VolatilityXAU/USD Analysis: Chart Indicates Elevated Volatility
The XAU/USD chart shows that the ATR (Average True Range) indicator has reached its highest level in several weeks, signalling increased market volatility.
In addition, trading activity is being fuelled by heightened geopolitical tensions, now including an escalation of the conflict between India and Pakistan.
The price action analysis of the precious metal also provides valuable insight, highlighting the ongoing battle between supply and demand.
Technical Analysis of the XAU/USD Chart
On 23 April, we noted a sharp shift in sentiment after the price of XAU/USD peaked around $3,500.
Gold price fluctuations today suggest continued bearish pressure above $3,400, leading to a downward reversal at peak B, which sits below the previous high at A.
This forms the basis for outlining a descending channel and suggests that bears may attempt to keep the price within its boundaries. On the other hand, the $3,333 level was decisively broken by a wave of buying (shown with a blue arrow), and a bullish “cup and handle” pattern is emerging in the background — it is possible that, as part of the May rally, bulls may try to surpass peak B.
Whatever the outcome, elevated volatility appears likely to persist — especially with the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision due today at 21:00 GMT+3, followed by Jerome Powell’s press conference at 21:30.
