Gold 30/07 – Pullback Confirmed, Eyeing the 0.5 Fibo Zone

Gold reacts after climbing gradually – is this a healthy correction or the start of something deeper? Let’s analyse what’s driving today’s setup.

📈 Macro Summary

Markets are starting the week cautiously as three key events loom large: the ADP report, Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), and today’s highly anticipated FOMC meeting. Investors are closely watching for clues about the Fed’s stance on potential interest rate cuts in the near term.

🔻 Technical Analysis

After moving steadily within a rising channel, gold has shown signs of correction towards the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement near the 337x area.

Although this appears to be a pullback within an ongoing bullish wave, the price range is relatively wide. The buy zone around 3320–3322 was tested early, with price reacting strongly off an order block in that area.

In the short term, if volatility remains muted, gold may continue pushing higher toward value zones near 3357 and 3388, where key technical confluences suggest potential resistance.

📊 Intraday Trade Scenarios

Buy Setups (preferred today):
Entry: 3320–3322 | SL: 3316 | TP: 3335 → 3350 → 3368
Entry: 3288–3290 | SL: 3284 | TP: 3300 → 3315 → 3320 → 3335 → 3350

Sell Setups (short-term rejection trades):
Entry: 3355–3357 | SL: 3361 | TP: 3350 → 3338 → 3330 → 3315
Entry: 3388–3390 | SL: 3395 | TP: 3375 → 3358 → 3340 → 3328

📌 Expert Outlook

The current structure reflects a healthy technical correction within a broader bullish context. However, the wide price swings combined with pre-news indecision mean traders should:

Focus on trading with the dominant trend

Avoid chasing price during periods of low liquidity
