GOLD DAILY CHART UPDATEHey Everyone,
Great finish to the week across all our multi timeframe analysis.
We updated our 1H chart throughout the week catching the buys from the dips using our levels and ema5 cross and lock allowed us to track the movement with confirmation.
This is now an end of week update on our daily chart idea. This chart shows our perfect play into the channel top and then rejection for the movement down. We used our smaller timeframe charts to catch the bounces from this movement down.
Following up on our previous analysis, price action has continued to respect our Goldturn channel beautifully. The key takeaway here is that the channel levels are being respected with precision, validating the strength and reliability of our Goldturn channel framework.
We’ll be back now on Sunday with our multi-timeframe analysis and trading plans for the week ahead. Thanks again for all your likes, comments, and follows.
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend!!

Gold may exit from pennant and rise to resistance levelHello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Gold. The price previously made a strong impulse upward, forming a downward pennant, but this move lost steam after touching the seller zone around 3430 - 3440. From there, the market reversed and dropped sharply below the support level, even creating a visible gap. Didn’t last long, the price recovered quickly and made another strong move up, breaking out of the downward pennant structure. Since then, Gold has been trading inside a new formation, an upward pennant, where both support and resistance lines are gradually converging. This setup suggests growing pressure and the potential for a breakout. Currently, the price is hovering near the support line of this upward pennant. In my opinion, we may see a small correction to test this support, followed by a bullish rebound. If the structure holds, Gold could break out upward and head directly toward the 3430 resistance level, which matches the upper boundary of the previous seller zone — this is my TP 1. Given the strong impulse structure and continuation pattern, I remain bullish and expect further growth after this local retest. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost 🚀

Gold: Breakout and Potential Retrace!!Hey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring XAUUSD for a selling opportunity around 3,390 zone, Gold was trading in an uptrend and successfully managed to break it out. Currently is in a correction phase in which it is approaching the retrace area at 3,390 support and resistance zone.
Trade safe, Joe.
GOLD → Consolidation within a falling wedgeFX:XAUUSD is consolidating. A major player is gathering a trading position inside a wedge ahead of distribution. But the main question is: in which direction?
Gold lost ground again on Friday after mixed holiday trading on Thursday. Traders are waiting for new signals from the Fed and monitoring the situation in the Middle East. Interestingly, gold fell as the conflict escalated further (which is not logical overall). The dollar is in a global bearish trend, and traders are waiting for a decision from Powell (who is under pressure from Trump to cut rates).
Technically, if we look at the wedge, we can see how difficult it is for the market to move. The price is stuck inside the consolidation. The intraday movement is very short, with long tails and a very weak reaction to both false breakouts and level break. Large players are building up positions inside the current channel. This may only hint at the possibility of future implementation (distribution).
Resistance levels: 3360, 3396, 3420
Support levels: 3338, 3320, 3302
On D1 - H4, gold is in a countertrend (bullish trend) correction and is testing the trend support + 0.7 Fibo zone. Below, there are fairly strong areas of interest — 3320 and 3302 — which gold may test before rising. However, within the wedge, there is a fairly high probability of a breakout of resistance and the 3360 level, followed by a rally to the liquidity zone at 3396
Best regards, R. Linda!
XAUUSD Weekly Outlook | June 23–27, 2025👋 Hey gold traders! As we close out the FOMC week and head into the final stretch of June, gold continues to hold bullish structure — but this week's candle is entering a very sensitive premium area. Let's break it all down in full top-down clarity:
🔍 Weekly Structure Update
✅ Weekly BOS confirmed since November 2023
✅ Price holding above EMA 5/21/50 — bullish lock intact
🔼 Current HH printed at 3452
📍Price is now entering a weekly FVG + supply trap zone around 3440–3460
🟣 RSI divergence starting to appear — caution in premium
🗺 Key Weekly Zones
Type Price Range Context
🔵 Demand Zone 3150 – 3190 Weekly OB + EMA50 confluence
🟣 FVG Support 3284 – 3320 Fresh imbalance post BOS
🟠 Flip Zone 3363 – 3385 Retest of BOS + FVG bottom
🔴 Sell Trap Zone 3440 – 3460 Weekly OB + liquidity sweep area
🧠 Bias This Week
📌 Bullish, but extended.
We expect a reaction from 3440–3460, not blind continuation.
The next healthy buy opportunity is only valid on a retrace toward 3320–3280, aligned with imbalance + structure.
🧭 GoldFxMinds Game Plan
Above 3440–3460 = overextension — wait for trap/sweep confirmation 🧨
Below 3363 = bearish flip zone — risk of revisiting 3280
Ideal buy = 3284–3320 → only on bullish PA or reversal confirmation
📰 Upcoming Economic Events (June 23–27)
🗣 FOMC Speakers flood the week (Waller, Powell, Williams, Goolsbee, Hammack, etc.)
🏠 Existing & New Home Sales, Consumer Confidence, Pending Home Sales
🛢 Crude Oil & Natural Gas Inventory reports
📊 Final GDP q/q, Core PCE, Personal Spending/Income
📉 Durable Goods, Unemployment Claims
🧪 Bank Stress Test Results (Friday)
⚠️ This is a dense news week — stay alert for surprise volatility, especially around Powell’s testimonies (Tue & Wed).
⚠️ Summary:
We are no longer in discount — we are inside the premium trap. Gold remains bullish, but 3440–3460 is a red flag zone. If this becomes the top, watch the flip at 3363–3385. Only re-enter long if structure confirms.

GOLD - Price may bounce up from wedge to $3500 points Hi guys, this is my overview for XAUUSD, feel free to check it and write your feedback in comments👊
A few moments ago, price entered to wedge, where it at once made an upward impulse from the support line.
Price broke $3155 with $3420 level and reached resistance line, but soon turned around and started to decline.
After this, Gold broke the $3420 level one more time and later tried to grow, but when it reached the resistance zone, it dropped.
Next, price bounced from support line of wedge and started to grow and in a short time rose to $3420 level.
Recently, it declined below, making a fake breakout of the resistance level, and now it continues to decline.
In my mind, Gold can decline a little more and then bounce up to $3500, breaking the resistance level.

XAUUSD Daily Outlook | June 23, 2025👋 Hello Gold traders!
We’re entering a new week with structure sharpening around key zones. Price is now hovering just below the decision shelf at 3385, and all eyes are on whether bulls defend structure — or bears trigger the first real trap. Let’s zoom in with pure Daily focus and zero noise.
🔸 DAILY STRUCTURE OUTLOOK
Gold remains in a clear bullish trend on the Daily timeframe, with the last confirmed Higher High at 3452. However, current price is in a retracement phase, testing the area just below the BOS and reacting to recent liquidity sweeps.
Despite rising USD pressure, the bullish structure remains intact unless a daily close breaks below 3315.
📌 Daily Bias: Bullish (retracement phase active)
🧭 Macro Context:
Heavy Fed week: Powell testifies Tue & Wed, Core PCE and Consumer Sentiment hit Fri.
USD may remain supported short-term, but gold still benefits from long-term inflation hedge + geopolitical risk flows.
🔹 STRUCTURAL KEY ZONES (D1)
Type Zone Confluences
🟢 Buy Zone #1 3320 – 3340 Daily OB, FVG base, EMA50 , structure HL defense
🔵 Buy Zone #2 3265 – 3285 Untapped OB + imbalance, deeper fib retrace
🟠 Flip Zone 3363 – 3385 Former BOS, FVG retest, minor liquidity shelf
🔴 Sell Zone #1 3405 – 3425 First sweep of equal highs, premium OB, FVG pocket
🔴 Sell Zone #2 3440 – 3460 Extreme bull trap: clean OB top, imbalance cluster
🎯 EXECUTION PLAN
🔍 Flip Zone is your battlefield — if bulls reclaim this zone cleanly, we may revisit 3405.
📉 3405–3425 offers the first sniper short opportunity: liquidity sweep + OB + FVG = prime short trigger.
📈 3320–3340 is the cleanest high-RR long zone — only enter if price reacts with strength and forms a rejection candle or bullish engulfing.
🧊 If 3320 fails, standby at 3265–3285 for a deeper correction entry backed by clean OB/FVG logic.
✅ SUMMARY & ACTION PLAN
Wait for confirmation at the Flip Zone — do not force direction.
Most precise sniper trades expected:
🔻 Sell from 3405–3425 → target Flip Zone
🔺 Buy from 3320–3340 → target 3385–3400
Only engage with clear OB reactions and strong PA confirmation — no bounce chasing.

Gold (XAU/USD) Technical Analysis – Bearish Breakdown in Play📉 Gold (XAU/USD) Technical Analysis – Bearish Breakdown in Play | June 20, 2025 🟡
🕒 Timeframe: 4-Hour
📍 Asset: Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar (XAU/USD)
🖼️ Chart Source: TradingView by AngelaFxTrading
🔍 Chart Overview
The 4H chart displays a clear bearish breakdown from an ascending trendline (blue), followed by a rejection at a key horizontal resistance zone (highlighted in purple).
🧠 Key Technical Insights
📌 1. Resistance Zone Rejection
Price Level: ~$3,370 - $3,390
Price attempted multiple breakouts above the resistance zone but consistently failed, indicating strong seller presence. The red arrow marks a lower high, suggesting waning bullish momentum.
📈 2. Trendline Break
The rising blue trendline has been decisively broken. This signals a potential trend reversal from bullish to bearish.
🧭 3. Support Levels to Watch
Minor Support: $3,294.43 (short-term reaction zone)
Major Support: $3,244.87 (target of the projected drop)
🔮 4. Bearish Projection
Blue arrows indicate a measured move expectation, targeting the $3,244.87 level.
A bearish flag/pennant formation post-break suggests continuation lower.
⚠️ Key Considerations
Fundamentals: Note the icons at the bottom — upcoming USD-related news/events 📅 could inject volatility.
Confirmation: For bears, a clean rejection from the resistance retest would confirm entry zones.
🧭 Trading Bias:
🔻 Short-term Bearish
As long as price remains below the purple resistance and under the broken trendline, selling pressure dominates.
🛑 Invalidation Zone
A daily close above ~$3,390 would invalidate this bearish setup and suggest a return to bullish momentum.
Gold:bullish wedge inside a rising channel-double trap for bearsInside the major upward channel, gold formed a falling wedge — and, of course, faked a breakdown. But the move reversed quickly: price reclaimed the wedge, surged on volume, and held above the key 3363–3368 area. This isn't just a bounce — it's a structural reclaim in line with the broader trend.
Price is now in the upper part of the rising channel and has broken a local downtrend line, reinforcing the bullish signal. Consolidation around 3380–3395 might be the last pause before acceleration. Above that lies a volume gap — no resistance until 3452.
MACD is flipping bullish, RSI turning upward, and volume confirms smart money presence. Classic: trap below, breakout above. As long as 3363 holds — longs remain in control.

Middle East Tension & Markets: My Honest Stance🌍🕊️✌️ Middle East Tension & Markets: My Honest Stance 💣 🔥 🗡️
Hi everyone,
It’s Friday, June 20th — and we face a fragile moment: the uncertainty of possible US military action against Iran. 📉📰✈️
On my charts:
Bitcoin (BTC) reached key resistance and now ranges sideways as we await clarity.
Gold (XAUUSD) remains the classic safe haven — it holds an ascending structure, but profit-taking could trigger dips if markets crash.
Silver (XAGUSD) is similar, yet needs broader industrial strength to outperform gold.
Crude Oil (WTI) could spike dramatically if bombs fall — but I choose not to profit from pain.
USDJPY & USD pairs reflect global trust in the dollar and US stability — I’ll cover this more next week.
My personal stance is simple:
💙 I never short disasters. I never profit from human suffering. I am LONG on humanity and peace. 🕊️✌️🌈
👉 I expect potential market gaps between now and Monday:
✅ Bad news (war) → gold, silver, oil likely pump
✅ Good news (diplomacy) → risk assets rebound, oil stabilizes
I am positioned carefully with small risk and clear stops. My goal: protect my capital, trade my plan, but never bet on pain. If I lose because peace prevails — I win as a human.
Stay safe, trade wisely, and never forget: sometimes the best trade is no trade at all.
One Love,
The FXPROFESSOR 💙

Pivot: 3,337.35
1st Support: 3,294.91
1st Resistance: 3,413.32

Hellena | GOLD (4H): LONG to resistance area of 3500 (Wave 3).Colleagues, the correction did take place and was quite deep, as I wrote earlier.
However, I am leaving my target unchanged—the resistance area and the maximum of wave “3” of the higher order at 3500.
The waves remain in their previous places, because none of the rules of wave analysis have been violated.
Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!
GOLD (XAUUSD): Technical Analysis & Important Pattern to Watch
For some known reason, Gold remains bearish this entire week.
The market is currently correcting within a falling channel - a bullish flag on a 4H time frame.
Ahead, I see a bunch of strong intraday supports.
From one of these structures, a bullish rally may resume.
A trigger that you should look for is a bullish breakout of
a resistance line of the flag and a 4H candle close above that.
A bullish continuation will be expected then.

XAUUSD Daily Sniper Plan – Monday, June 23, 2025Current Price: 3368.76
Trend: Bearish on H4 | Corrective on H1 | Weak Bullish Attempt on M15
Market Context: Gold is consolidating under EMA pressure after FOMC. Price is pinned inside a key flip zone, awaiting Monday’s fundamental triggers.
🔸 HTF Overview (D1, H4, H1)
📰 Macro + Economic Context – Week of June 23–28:
This is a high-impact week for USD with Fed speeches, inflation, and growth data. Monday opens with caution:
Monday, June 23
🟠 FOMC Member Waller Speaks
🔴 Flash Manufacturing & Services PMI
🟠 Existing Home Sales
Tuesday, June 24
🔴 Fed Chair Powell Testifies
🟠 CB Consumer Confidence
🟠 Richmond Manufacturing Index

📌 Monday is lighter in impact, but PMI data and Waller’s speech may spark the week’s directional bias. Avoid trading blindly into PMI spikes.
H4 Structure & Bias:
Bearish trend intact: Lower High = 3418, Lower Low = 3311
EMAs (21/50/100) aligned downward — price capped below 3380
RSI still under 60 = no bullish momentum
Rejection zone remains valid at 3406–3420 (H4 OB)
Strong demand expected at 3340–3352 and extreme at 3310–3288
🔸 LTF Precision (M30, M15)
Price compressing around 3365–3372
RSI around 56 → indecision
No bullish HH above 3380 = still within bearish control
EMA flattening → prepare for trap setups around NY open

🔻 Sell Zone – 3406–3420
H4 OB, FVG top, liquidity above 3405
Entry: 3412
SL: 3426
TP1: 3312
TP2: 3288
TP3: 3265
🧠 Wait for sweep or strong bearish reaction — no early entries.
⚠️ Flip Zone – 3360–3380
No-trade zone: EMA cluster + mid-FVG

✅ Final Action Plan
📉 Stay bearish below 3380 unless a clean HH + OB support forms

Middle East Tension: Read This Before You Trade today⚔️🕊️💣 Middle East Tension: Read This Before Markets close for the Weekend 🌍🔥✌️
Video:
Hey traders,
Today’s landscape is delicate and raw: we stand between a possible US strike on Iran and a chance for leaders to step back from the edge. Many are asking: Should I bet on gold? Should I short the indices? Should I buy oil?
Here’s my honest read, straight from today’s video (which I highly recommend you watch for full context 📺):
👉 Bitcoin (BTC)
Still ranging sideways. The last move hit my resistance zone perfectly. For now, BTC keeps its cool — but watch out: global fear can spark sudden moves, or the opposite, a liquidity crunch.
👉 Gold & Silver
Yes, they’re classic safe havens — but don’t fall for the textbook trap. When true chaos strikes, big players often sell profitable gold positions to cover losses elsewhere. So an initial spike is possible, but deep pockets can reverse it fast. This is why I’m cautious: I do not expect a guaranteed pump on gold or silver.
👉 Crude Oil (WTI)
The chart says it all: any strike in the Middle East fuels oil prices fast. But as I’ve always said — I do not long oil during human tragedy. Ethics over easy pips.
👉 Indices & USDJPY
Gaps are likely. Risk assets may get hammered if bombs fall. If leaders choose dialogue instead, expect a risk-on rebound. The USD stays a wildcard: trust in the US remains, but shocks test that trust.
👉 Airlines Pausing Flights?
Yes — major airlines are avoiding the Gulf. That alone signals how real this risk is.
✅ My plan is clear:
I never short disasters. I never profit from pain. I am LONG on humanity and peace. I’d rather lose a trade than wish for blood in the streets.
I do have some carefully calculated positions open tonight — fully risk-managed and small-sized. If Monday gaps bless me, fine. If peace wins and my trades lose? Even better.
👉 Watch the full video for my live charts, context, and unfiltered thoughts.
This text is just a recap — the full idea is already posted as a video.
Stay sharp. Stay ethical. Protect your capital and your soul — one good trade is never worth your humanity.
One Love,

H4 Outlook – Between Flip and Trap👋 Hey Gold minds, welcome to another sniper-level breakdown. We're mid-range between major sweep zones and watching carefully how price reacts around the current compression under key EMAs and FVG. Let’s break it down:
🔸 MACRO + FUNDAMENTAL CONTEXT
USD drivers this week:
🔹 Monday–Tuesday: Multiple FOMC Members speaking
🔹 Wednesday: Powell Testimony
🔹 Thursday: Final GDP + Unemployment Claims
🔹 Friday: Core PCE and UoM Inflation Expectations
Macro sentiment:
FOMC speakers remain hawkish while inflation is sticky. Gold reacts defensively as markets price in Powell’s tone. Liquidity traps on both sides still active. Gold consolidates below key liquidity at 3405, potentially setting up for either expansion or sweep rejection.
🔸 H4 STRUCTURE + BIAS
Market structure:
Price formed a Lower High (3452) and confirmed bearish intent with a break of structure to the downside (CHoCH & BOS).
Currently compressing under H4 Fair Value Gap and retesting an internal OB + EQ zone around 3360–3370, showing signs of rejection.
EMA Cluster:
Price is compressing between EMA 21 / 50 / 100, failing to reclaim EMA100.
EMA5 is crossing under EMA21 – short-term bearish bias holds.
Bias: 🔻 Bearish to neutral
As long as price stays under 3380, supply remains in control. Only a break and close above 3405–3415 would flip bias bullish short term.
🧭 Sniper Zones – H4 Precision Map
🔷 Type 📍 Price Zone 📌 Justification
🔵 Buy Zone #1 3315 – 3340 Valid OB , previous HL structure, FVG reaction support
🔵 Buy Zone #2 3280 – 3302 Deeper demand pocket, untapped imbalance
🟠 Flip Zone 3360 – 3380 FVG + internal OB + EMA compression = key battle zone
🔴 Sell Zone #1 3405 – 3415 Internal OB + unmitigated premium zone under LH
🔴 Sell Trap Zone 3440 – 3460 Extreme rejection zone — 3452 HH sweep logic + OB
🔸 Price Action Expectations (PA)
If price rejects 3360–3380, expect a clean push back to 3320, with possible deeper draw to 3300–3285.
A clean break and close above 3380 (not just a wick) may open the door for a sweep of 3405, where sellers are expected.
Only an aggressive news-driven breakout above 3415 would unlock the final trap zone toward 3450+ – lower probability unless Powell surprises.
✅ Conclusion & Execution Plan
🎯 Watch how price behaves around the Flip Zone — this is the decision point.
📉 Main bearish confirmation = strong rejection at Flip Zone or 3405.
📈 Bullish continuation only above 3415 with volume and closing strength.
💎 Best RR zones:
Sell 3405–3420 → targeting 3360 / 3340
Buy 3315–3340 → targeting 3360 / 3380

GOLD: Retesting support will lead to a riseHello to all beloved traders, Lucas_Reid here!
Gold has now broken upward from the wedge and confirmed recent bullish momentum. A major player is building a position above the wedge and preparing for distribution. But the main question is: how long will it last?
Fundamentally, the recent gold surge was triggered by escalating tensions in the Middle East and large-scale missile exchanges between Iran and Israel – drawing safe-haven flows. Interestingly, gold pulled back slightly by the end of Friday’s trading session, hovering around $3,368 at the time of writing (a reasonable move after the spike). However, the broader macro backdrop still favors gold in the medium term, with persistent demand from central banks and ongoing geopolitical risks providing support.
Additionally, the US dollar is in a global downtrend, and traders are awaiting a decision from Powell (who is under pressure from Trump to cut rates).
From a technical perspective, if we zoom out, we can see buyers in control, suggesting continuation. Price has broken out of recent consolidation. The volatility that followed was then absorbed and reacted above the breakout level. Theoretically, we can speculate that big players are building positions above the current wedge. This can only suggest potential future deployment (distribution).
BUT failure to hold above this level could invalidate the bullish scenario and increase the chance of a pullback to the lower boundary of the channel.
Respectfully,

This is our view for FOMC, please do your own research and analysis to make an informed decision on the markets. It is not recommended you try to trade the event if you have less than 6 months trading experience and have a trusted risk strategy in place. The markets are extremely volatile, and these events can cause aggressive swings in price.
A you can see traders the pre-event price action started yesterday with the hourly now playing between the MA’s and waiting for FOMC for a potential breakout. As usual, we have highlighted the key levels and added the red boxes for all of you to help navigate the movement should this not be priced in.
Also remember, there is a press conference after the release, this is usually the time the market will react to anything Powell says about future plans for the economy.
Now, looking at the 4H, we have support at the 3370-65 level and below that 3355. If these are attacked and give a RIP, opportunity for the long trade may be available into the 3395 red box which price will need to break to go higher. If we can break above this red box, we can then look to attempt higher price with the levels 3430, 3445 and above that 3455-60 on the horizon. It’s that red box sitting higher up around the 3470-75 region which needs to be watched if we do get up there as an opportunity to attempt the reverse trade may present itself from there depending on the volume.
So in summary, we have 3 key levels in play, ideally a move upside and rejection from the 3400-6 level giving a further dip would suit buyers to get better pricing.
KOG’s RED BOX TARGETS:
BREAK ABOVE 3395 for 3404, 3406, 3410, 3420, 3430, 3435 and 3459 in extension of the move
BREAK BELOW 3380 FOR 3375, 3364, 3351, 3342, 3333 AND 3327 IN EXTENSION OF THE MOVE

Gold Under Pressure – Will the 3,385 Zone Hold?Hello everyone, let’s dive into gold price action together!
Following decisions from the Fed, BOE, and SNB to hold interest rates steady, gold continues to face downward pressure. High interest rates reflect a firm stance on inflation, pushing short-term capital away from non-yielding assets like gold.
On the chart, gold closed the session near $3,368, showing little change from previous candles. The precious metal is still being rejected at a key confluence resistance zone (EMA 34, EMA 89, and a prior consolidation area). As long as price fails to break above $3,385, the downside scenario remains favored.
If this resistance holds, my next move would be to sell, targeting a drop to $3,300—a zone where buyers previously stepped in.
What about you? Do you see gold heading lower too?
