Trump sends out a major signal of tariffs, gold prices plummet
📌 Driving events
On Tuesday evening, local time, US President Trump said that he had no intention of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. Trump also said that tariffs on Chinese imports would be "substantially" reduced from the current 145%.
In addition, Trump said that he would not take "tough measures" against China during the tariff negotiations, and was "optimistic" that he could reach an agreement with it "fairly quickly" and "substantially reduce" the huge 145% tariff imposed on Chinese imports.
Because of President Trump's erratic tariff policy changes, investors' confidence in the outlook for the US economy continues to weaken.
📊Commentary analysis
The slowdown and decline in gold prices are inevitable. The profit-taking mentality and the cooling of news on tariffs and Russian-Ukrainian military operations led to a decline in gold prices.

The gold market suddenly "changed its face"Gold plunged down from the high of 3500 yesterday, mainly due to the fact that US President Trump said at the swearing-in ceremony of Atkins, chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, on Tuesday local time that he had no intention of firing Fed Chairman Powell, although he was disappointed that the Fed did not cut interest rates faster. The cooling of risk aversion directly affected the gold price, which once fell to $3366, and then closed near 3382, with the largest drop of 134 points on Tuesday. This wave of gold correction is still continuing. After opening today, it fell straight to 3315. Although it has completely recovered the decline, I think the short position still has continuity, so today's operation strategy is still mainly high-altitude.
Gold is currently trading below 3357. There are signs of a rebound in gold prices at the beginning of the European session. Now the upper suppression level can be moved down. The short-term suppression reference is 3330 here, followed by the second highest point on the way up to 3357; the lower support focuses on the vicinity of 3285, and after effectively breaking it, it can focus on the vicinity of 3245. Now the gold price is trading near the Asian low of 3315. The prudent operation idea is to short at 3331 to protect the gold price near 3320 and wait for the gold price to reach 3285. After the break, wait for the rebound to 3300 and then go short to 3245. It is not recommended to participate in long orders.
Gold is down 100 points, but it still remains high and short.Technically speaking:
① Yesterday's daily line hit a high and fell back to close with a hanging neck line with a long upper shadow, which represents a short-term peak signal. Today's opening opened low and rebounded to repair the gap, which can determine the bottom support in the short term. Therefore, today's range has become a large range of 3313-3500.
From the daily Fibonacci retracement extension line, the current support is around 3291, that is, the range of 3291-3371, and the middle 0.236 is located at 3370.
②The 4-hour indicator macd is dead cross at a high level and runs with large volume, and the smart indicator sto is running near oversold, which means that the 4-hour market is still volatile and weak. In the short term, pay attention to the middle track and the moving average MA5 and MA10 corresponding to the 3403-3358-3404 line, and the short-term moving average MA30 corresponds to the 3350 line. From the 4-hour perspective, the current range is 3291-3371.
③ The current MACD of the hourly line is dead cross with shrinking volume, and the dynamic indicator STO is hooked upward, which represents the rebound trend of the hourly line. At present, we focus on the MA60 moving average, the middle track and the MA30 moving average, which currently correspond to the 3397-3354-3405 line, but will gradually move down over time.
In summary: short-selling in the area near the upper pressure of 3321-3351-3371, and maintaining high altitude as the main theme
Summary: In the short term, the high altitude callback is the main focus, and the key support level is arranged in batches for long orders to follow the long-term trend.

Gold is rising step by step, and the 3500 mark is in danger
📌 Driving events
Geopolitical conflicts are escalating (such as the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East)
US CPI data is lower than expected (85% year-on-year)
📊 Comments and analysis
Although gold has experienced a correction, the price of gold has quickly risen strongly, and the positive fundamentals have pushed the market to set new historical highs. As of the end of the Asian market, today's gold trend is almost a replica of yesterday (the gold price continued to rise from the Asian market to the US market on Monday).
What is a bull market? It is to break the cognition of most people, and the rise makes people doubt their lives. Not seeing it does not mean that it does not exist. Empiricists are destined to be eliminated. The underlying logic of the rise in gold during the financial crisis in 2008 and the rise in gold this year has long changed.

The president's words instantly changed the gold market
📌 Driving events
Today, Wednesday, Trump said that although he was frustrated that the Federal Reserve had not been able to lower interest rates faster, he had no intention of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell.
The remarks marked a huge shift in Trump's attitude. He has recently stepped up his criticism of Powell and refused to rule out the possibility of taking the unprecedented step of firing Powell.
After Trump said he had no intention of firing Powell, the situation between Russia and Ukraine slowed down, and the market's optimism about the possible easing of trade tensions heated up, U.S. stock index futures soared and the dollar strengthened.
Asian spot gold opened directly at a gap down on Wednesday, and then the decline widened further, reaching a low of $3,293. It is only $10 away from the 3,283 support line I predicted before.
📊Comment analysis
Gold has some signs of a head and shoulders top, and the current shoulder position is almost here at 3,340-50.
So, if there is a chance to pull back to 3,340-50 next. The support line is still around 3282.
Be sure to enter the market and short without hesitation.

GOLD Trending Higher - Can buyers push toward 3,500$?OANDA:XAUUSD is trading within a clear ascending channel, with price action consistently respecting both the upper and lower boundaries. The recent bullish momentum indicates that buyers are in control, suggesting there's chances for potential continuation on the upside.
The price has recently broken above a key resistance zone and may come back for a retest. If this level holds as support, it would reinforce the bullish structure and increase the likelihood of a move toward the 3,500 target , which aligns with the channel’s upper boundary.
As long as the price remains above this support zone, the bullish outlook stays intact. However, a failure to hold above this level could invalidate the bullish scenario and increase the likelihood of a pullback toward the channel’s lower boundary.
The recent surge in gold prices is driven by escalating U.S.-China trade tensions and a weakening U.S. dollar. Gold reached a record high of $3,390 per ounce, fueled by concerns over global economic stability and increased demand for safe-haven assets. Analysts have raised their three-month gold forecast, due to ongoing market uncertainties.
Despite the upward momentum, I think still gold may be overbought in the near term, indicating potential for a short-term correction . Nevertheless, the overall bullish trend remains strong, supported by geopolitical tensions, central bank purchases, and investor demand for strong assets.
Gold’s Super Bullish Breakout – Eyeing $3700 or $3200?My previous analysis played out very well, except I was concerned that we didn't reach the $3,180 area. With the ongoing trade wars and recent comments from Powell, the USD is weakening significantly, and we’re seeing a gold move unlike any I’ve experienced before—possibly the most bullish pattern yet.
Based on my analysis from the edge of the market, we can identify key breakout levels that must hold to continue pushing toward $3,700.
Watch the 1H and 4H wick and body formations:
1. If the 1H candle body can break above $3,500, we’ll likely continue making higher highs and higher lows toward $3,700.
2. If the 1H candle body fails to hold the $3,400 level, we might see the pullback I’ve been anticipating—possibly down to the $3,200 level >> and pullback towards $3700.
GOLD, hibernated - and its good. More energy for MORE RISE AHEADSignal: LONG GOLD
After going parabolic this past few days -- hitting a series of ATH on daily basis, Gold finally took some well deserved respite, and hibernated to tap previous resistance turned support area.
Price is now basing again at this discounted zone -- an ideal seeding area.
Fib tap at 38.2 has been spotted. This is where most buyers converge.
The growth prospect of this next phase in progress is a bit on the generous side. A possible 2500 pip scenario from the current price range.

J.P. Morgan joins the $4K gold clubJ.P. Morgan now forecasts gold to average $3,675 per ounce by year-end and joins Goldman Sachs in projecting a move beyond $4,000 next year.
Spot gold has gained 29% year-to-date, setting 28 record highs and briefly surpassing $3,500 for the first time yesterday.
According to the bank, the main downside risk remains a sudden decline in central bank demand. Key support has potentially shifted higher, with $3,286 now seen as a potential pivot—aligned with both the 50-day moving average and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement.
Can the 3370 support level turn the tide?The Asian session low of 3413 rebounded to 3500 under pressure, and then fell back to 3370 in the evening, with a single-day fluctuation of more than 100 points. Since the 14-day bull market started at 2959 on April 7, the gold price has soared 500 points, and the short-term overbought has triggered technical correction pressure. The current market presents a strong pattern of "buying on every correction", and even if there is a long upper shadow, the bullish sentiment still dominates the market.
From a technical perspective, the support near 3370 is crucial. If it holds, the bullish trend will continue; otherwise, a break may trigger a deeper adjustment. Although there is short-term profit-taking pressure, the overall market is bullish. It is recommended to pay attention to the key support level of 3370 and be alert to low-long opportunities in repeated fluctuations.
Gold intraday high V reversal looks to continueToday's market analysis and interpretation:
First, the gold daily level: After closing with a full increase of 100 US dollars yesterday, it continued to rise by nearly 90 US dollars today. The daily line may not feel the acceleration, but from the weekly line, the trend of continuous large positives for nearly three weeks and an increase of more than 500 US dollars, it seems to be accelerating to the top; although the overall bullish trend this year will not be affected at all, in the short term, some bulls may flee due to the accelerated pull, that is, profit-taking, which is often more likely to happen; In addition, yesterday's research report focused on interpreting the trend of 2956 to 3500. It is very likely to cycle the previous wave of 2832 to 3167. The maximum retracement of 618 division position just confirms the previous top and bottom support of 3167. In addition, from the wave shape, if 2832-3167 belongs to the first wave, 3167 to 2956 belongs to the second wave, and the third wave is calculated by 1.618 times the first wave, it is exactly 3498, which is today's intraday high of 3500. Then the fourth correction wave may be brewing in the follow-up, which is generally the third wave 382 or 50 division, and it generally will not fall below the first wave high of 3167. Therefore, in the next few days, if 3500 cannot be broken through again, the correction will focus on the 382 division support 3292 and the 50 division support 3228. The limit is that it is unlikely to fall too far from 3167, and then Waiting for the opportunity of band bullishness, each squat adjustment is to further continue the bullish trend;
Second, gold 4-hour level: the current MA5-day moving average support is barely holding up temporarily, and the top is a bearish pattern of "evening star" with a large Yin wrapped in Yang. It needs to be combined with the subsequent K-line pattern. If there are continuous Yins and large Yins continue to appear, then this cycle will begin to be under pressure, and the MA10-day support of 3428 and the middle track of 3378-72 will be gradually tested below;
Third, gold hourly level: Asian session continues to rise sharply, but the European session suppresses the 3500 line and falls back, temporarily supporting the middle track. The inability of the European session to attack increases the risk of further downward adjustment tonight; once the middle track is effectively lost, it will continue to fall. Finally, tonight, we can gradually see the 66-day moving average, which is also the lower track of the white channel in the figure, about 3380; The short-term resistance is the 10-day moving average and the white channel counter-pressure point, concentrated at 3470-3480, which happens to be the 618 division point of the European session's decline and rebound; therefore, pay attention to 3470-3480 tonight. If it cannot withstand the pressure, it will continue to decline and gradually look at 3428 and 3411. The strong support is in the range of 3380-3370 tonight. If it stabilizes here, it will rebound to confirm the middle track, and the ups and downs will be huge.
Trump and Powell's "power showdown" ignites global risk aversion
📌 Driving events
On Tuesday (April 22), gold prices soared and set a new record high. Spot gold once hit the $3,500 mark, an increase of about 2.2%. US President Trump criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Powell for worrying the market, suppressing risk appetite and pushing investors to turn to safe-haven gold. After hitting the 3,500 mark, the price of gold fell slightly. Spot gold is currently trading at nearly $3,478.55 per ounce.
📊Comment analysis
KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer pointed out that under the double blow of tariff concerns and the Trump-Powell farce, investors are fleeing US assets across the board. The continued weakness of the US dollar has created an excellent opportunity for gold to rise.
On Monday, Trump made a tough statement, asking the Federal Reserve to "cut interest rates immediately" otherwise the US economy will face the risk of slowing down. Powell insisted last week that interest rates should not be easily adjusted until the impact of Trump's tariff policy on inflation becomes clear.

Gold rose 90 points and then fell back? Maybe there will be a suIt rose from the early trading, rose to the 3500 mark and was under pressure, and then returned to the 3409 line at the lowest. If it does not fluctuate by more than 100 points every day, is it not the ultimate safe-haven asset? My heart really can't stand it. Brothers who have observed carefully should have discovered that the current round of gold rise started from 2961, and rose by 500 US dollars in just 14 days. Only when today's upper lead is really closed, can we say that the bulls will cool down a little!
But this is not the first time. For example, last week's weekly line retreated, and it was directly pulled up at night. This week's opening rose by more than 100 points. The current market retreat is to go long. No matter what point you are at, as long as it is currently rising, then you can only witness one thing, that is, rising!
At present, I am not optimistic about the continued decline. The market sentiment of long positions also leaves me no choice. The current long positions have not reached the top. The best opportunity is to look at the integer support of 3400, which may give the bulls an unexpected surprise!
I am Quide. Seeing my analysis strategy, no matter the past gains and losses, I hope that you can achieve investment breakthroughs with my help and turn every tide of the gold market into our wealth wave.
Place long orders after the adjustment is over!After gold accelerated its rise in the Asian session, it fell back in the European session and temporarily entered an adjustment cycle, accumulating strength to provide power for the next round of launch. The short-term support in the US session is 3430 and 3412. In terms of operation, go long according to the strength of the decline. There is still no guess on the top, and gradually look to 3480 and 3500! Short-term volatility has increased, and the notice has been issued before the market!
Operation suggestion: Gold is long near 3410-15, and look at 3445 and 3455!
Gold's retracement is an opportunity to go longStay long and don't relax. Continue to buy gold when it falls back!
The gold market has fluctuated violently recently, with a rise of $100 and a fall of $90, which has brought great obstacles to our trading. Long and short positions with bad entry positions will be washed out, so we need to wait patiently for opportunities in operation. The strong market remains unchanged. Continue to buy when it falls back. Find the watershed position to participate in the transaction. It is better to miss it than to be too aggressive. In the Asian session, I will share with you the support of the 3405/3410 watershed of gold. I will rely on this position to buy when it falls back. Gold hit a high of 3499 during the day, which is one step away from 3500. The European and American sessions fell back by $90, which just happened to fall back to the watershed position shared with you in the Asian session. The long orders have also been realized at the target position. Friends who have participated should pay attention to protecting profits, and friends who are short should wait patiently for opportunities and not be too aggressive!

The bull market is extremely strong! Keep the rhythm right!Analysis of gold trend:
On Tuesday (April 22) in the Asian session, spot gold continued to rise. Fundamentally, on Monday, as Trump's comments on Powell damaged investors' confidence in US assets, the US dollar index plummeted to its lowest level since March 2022. The United States plans to impose new tariffs on solar products imported from four Southeast Asian countries. Trump's approval rating has dropped to the lowest level since returning to the White House. The market's risk aversion has increased, and gold prices have strengthened significantly. At present, global trade tensions will continue, and concerns about economic growth and inflation expectations will continue to support gold prices.
After rising to around $3,430 at the beginning of the week, the price of gold retreated slightly to around $3,406. Before the close, it was more of a shock operation at the high of the day. Including the idea given before the break at the beginning of the week, the price of gold will continue to break new highs on Tuesday. But it was not expected that the price of gold would rise to around $3,500 during the Asian session, which was indeed a bit unexpected. At the end of the Asian session, the price of gold retreated, retreating to around $3,461. This retracement came relatively late, breaking the normal operation system. Today, it is recommended to refer to the suppression range near 3490 US dollars and 3500 US dollars for shorting. If it breaks above, refer to the daily error band indicator near 3510 US dollars for shorting. If it breaks below, refer to the support near 3455 US dollars and 3444 US dollars for longing. If it breaks below, look at the 3437-3390 US dollars range for high selling and low selling.
The ultimate safe-haven gold price will not fall! Keep bullish!Remember that gold is currently the ultimate safe-haven asset. Any pullback is actually an opportunity for you to get on board. Before the current trade war eases, gold is still the most favored asset in the market. A year ago, people thought that it was not outrageous for gold to rise to $5,000 by 2030; now, this prediction has become "conservative".
Fundamentally, this is because the current rise in gold is a performance as a "monetary asset" rather than a "commodity asset". This redefinition of gold's "identity" - especially under the catalysis of major events in the past few weeks - has also triggered people's deep thinking about the future role of gold in the international monetary system. It may be moving towards a new positioning: the ultimate safe-haven asset.
The current retracement of gold has given you an opportunity, so don’t hesitate to enter the market directly at 3440-3450 for long orders, and buy directly at 3455-60 radically, and continue to watch the upward break to new historical highs!
