Buy gold, it will continue to 3350!Fundamentals: Focus on Trump and the Fed; Technical aspects: Currently, gold is moving in a fluctuating upward manner, and in the short term, the effective double bottom structure constructed in the area around 3200 and 3220 supports the continued upward movement of gold. In the short term, gold is not very willing to fall, and it has not even been able to fall back below 3300 again. If gold breaks through the 3330-3335 area during the rebound, then gold will inevitably continue to rise to the area around 3350, or even the area around 3380. Trading strategy: If gold retreats next, we will mainly focus on the opportunity to go long on gold in the 3315-3305 area; TP: 3350

Gold’s Got Its Groove Back: Morning Star Lights the Way to $3500Gold delivered a powerful signal pointing to a resumption of the bullish trend, completing a morning star pattern that saw it break out of the falling wedge it had been trading over the past fortnight. It would have been nice to catch the initial move, but all is not lost after the price broke above $3367 on Tuesday. The price has run hard, so I’m reluctant to chase the move. But if we see a pullback and bounce from $3367, it would generate a bullish setup where longs could be established above the level with a stop beneath for protection. The obvious trade target would be the record high of $3500 set in April. If the price were to reverse below $3367 and stay there, the setup would be invalidated. Good luck! DS

Nifty EOD Analysis – May 3, 2025 Monday🟢 Nifty EOD Analysis – May 3, 2025 Monday🔴 A positive open... but no follow-through. Still stuck in consolidation. 📊 Nifty Summary Nifty opened with a gap up of 72 points at 24,420, marking the first open above 24,365 in the last 7 sessions — a positive sign. However, the enthusiasm lacked momentum. Price struggled to cross the resistance at 24,526, and the index drifted back toward the mean, trading the entire day between the initial balance (IB) range and hovering around VWAP. 🔹 Intraday Movement: Just 125 points, the smallest in the last 12 sessions — a clear sign of contraction. 🔹 Closing: 24461 closing is the first closing above 24365 in the last 7 sessions. 🔹 Structure: Daily candle formed an Inside Bar, signaling potential energy buildup. 📌 Strategy Forward: Stay alert for an expansion move from this coil — contraction often precedes sharp action. 📌 5 Min Time FrameChart 📌 Daily Time FrameChart 🕯️ Daily Time Frame Chart & Candle Breakdown 🔍 Today’s Candle Type: Spinning Top with a long upper wick Candle Definition: A Spinning Top reflects market indecision — both bulls and bears attempted moves, but neither gained dominance. A long upper wick with a narrow body often signals failed bullish momentum or fading enthusiasm. 📌 Today’s OHLC: Open: 24,419.50 High: 24,526.40 Low: 24,400.65 Close: 24,461.15 Change: +114.45 (+0.47%) 🧱 Candle Structure: 🔹 Real Body: 🟢 Green candle with a modest body → 24,461.15 – 24,419.50 = 41.65 pts 🔹 Upper Wick: 24,526.40 – 24,461.15 = 65.25 pts 🔹 Lower Wick: 24,419.50 – 24,400.65 = 18.85 pts 📖 Candle’s Interpretation: Despite a strong open and attempt to push higher, the resistance at 24,526 capped the move. The long upper wick shows that buyers lacked follow-through strength, and the close back near the middle of the range indicates a market still stuck in balance. 📉 The Inside Bar + Narrow Range combo is a potential signal for volatility ahead — traders should watch closely for a breakout from this range. ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update 📊 Strategy Parameters: ATR: 303.46 IB Range: 110.65 pts IB Category: Medium IB Market Structure: Balanced 📌 Trade Highlights: Trade Count: 0 ❌ No Trigger generated by the system — a no-trade day. 🧠 Note: In contraction phases, it’s common to get fewer setups. Patience is key. 🔮 What’s Next? Markets are coiling tightly, and an expansion move is likely around the corner. As long as price holds above the 24,330–24,360 band, bulls have hope — but conviction is needed above 24,540. 🧱 Support & Resistance Levels 🔺 Resistance Zones: 24,480 ~ 24,540 (Includes psychological level: 24,500) 24,590 (PDH – Immediate hurdle) 24,800 🔻 Support Zones: 24,400 (CDL) 24,330 ~ 24,360 24,190 ~ 24,225 (Immediate Support) 24,120 24,050 24,000 ~ 23,950 23,820 23,710 ~ 23,660 23,500 23,410 ~ 23,370 23,215 ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint.

WTI Crude oil Holds Support Despite OPEC Production IncreaseWTI crude was on the ropes Monday morning following another surprise production increase from OPEC+. Yet despite the weak start to the week, oil prices held above the April low despite the bearish headlines. Given we've already seen a -15% decline over the prior eight days and a bullish divergence has formed, I suspect some bullish mean reversion is due. Bulls could seek a move to the $60 area, near the April VPOC. Note that the December 2023 low might also provide some resistance along the way.

Israel-Houthi conflict could put gold back on the bull run🗞News side: 1. The Israeli president said that they are on the eve of a "large-scale attack on the Gaza Strip" 2. The Houthi armed forces stated that all Israeli airports are their targets 3. The situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the follow-up events of the India-Pakistan conflict 📈Technical aspects: From a technical point of view, the current 1H moving average of gold is spreading upward, resulting in a small retracement. The short orders we hold are also closed in time at 3310 to lock in profits. After gold broke through the previous range, the upward channel opened. The 4H MACD diverged from the bottom, the golden cross and the green column enlarged, opening upward, and the overall 4H trend was bullish. Moreover, the support effect of the middle rail of the Bollinger Bands is obvious, and the gold price is accumulating strength below the upper rail of the Bollinger Bands, with strong upward momentum. Pay attention to 3310. After the support stabilizes, you can consider participating in long positions near 3310-3320, focusing on the 3290 line below; focus on 3375 above, and then consider participating in short sales near 3355-3365 after the pressure is under. If you agree with this point of view, or you have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

Start shorting gold and seize the opportunity to make a profit!!Fundamentals: Focus on Trump and the Fed Technical aspects: Gold fell back to around 3253 and then rebounded, and continued to rise to around 3318. The upward momentum in the short term looks particularly strong. According to the current structure, as gold gradually rebounds, off-market buying funds gradually enter the market, pushing gold further up. However, when facing the previous turning point position area of ​​3325-3335, the market is cautious and it is difficult to break through this area in a short period of time. Therefore, when gold gradually approaches the 3325-3335 area, gold may usher in a wave of retracement in the short term; obviously, the retracement area we can foresee is the 3295-3285 area first. Trading strategy: Consider shorting gold in the 3315-3325 area, TP: 3295-3285

How to plan when gold’s rise encounters resistance🗞News side: 1. Pay attention to the recent trade situation and news about the Fed's interest rate cuts 2. Be wary of DXY trends 3. The situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the follow-up events of the India-Pakistan conflict 4.Trump imposes 100% tariff on non-US films 📈Technical aspects: Compared with today's market, the morning rise happened to be a sideways price, breaking through the previous high point. In a volatile rise, it doesn't matter. It is very likely that in the later trend, the price will return to the starting point or even lower, but it can continue to rise. This is a feature of the shock. At the same time, the current market is not extremely strong, and it is still in a volatile rise. Therefore, do not chase long, but retrace as much support as possible. 🎁SELL 3315-3325 🎁TP 3280-3270 🎁BUY 3270-3280 🎁TP 3300-3310 If you agree with this point of view, or you have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area.

How to arrange when gold fluctuates upward🗞News side: 1. Pay attention to the recent trade situation and news about the Fed's interest rate cuts 2. Be wary of DXY trends 3. The situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the follow-up events of the India-Pakistan conflict 4.Trump imposes 100% tariff on non-US films 📈Technical aspects: In the morning, we seized the opportunity to short and earn a wave of profits. Then gold fell back to 3255 and rebounded again, moving upward in a fluctuating manner. From the hourly chart, Friday's low was around 3220 and today's high was around 3270. In this trend, 3255 may be the short-term low for short-term trading. From the daily chart, gold has closed the cross star. The current gold price is more critical. If it breaks through 3285, it may continue to rise to the 3295-3300 line. If the gold price fails to effectively break through 3285, it may usher in a wave of retracement. It will be a good time for us to go long. If you agree with this point of view, or you have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.
