It is widely traded by both institutional and retail investors for portfolio protection and short-term speculation. In this setup, we are capitalizing on the short-term bullish momentum within the scalping range , targeting successive take profit levels while keeping risk controlled with a stop loss at 3302.00.

Gold plunged $36 during Asian trading hours. What's the reason?Spot gold suddenly fell sharply during the Asian session, and the current price of gold is around $3,310/ounce, a plunge of $36 during the day.
In the optimistic market sentiment, the recovery of US dollar demand seems to put downward pressure on gold prices.
Quaid believes that optimism about the possible progress in trade negotiations between the United States and its major trading partners supports risk appetite, boosts the performance of the US dollar against major currency competitors, and gold sellers are trying to regain control.
The Wall Street Journal said that weakening the impact of auto tariffs is the latest concession of Trump's trade policy after market turmoil and fierce lobbying by companies and other countries.
Looking ahead to this trading day, trade headlines and the re-adjustment of positions at the end of the month will play a key role in driving gold prices.
Trading analysis:
From a technical point of view, gold prices are currently trying to break down again after failing to confirm a break below the three-week rising channel on Monday. However, as the 14-day relative strength index is still above the midline, any decline in gold prices may be quickly bought.
During Asian trading hours, gold must close at the rising trend line support of $3,300/oz to confirm a break below the rising channel. Long-term important support for gold prices is in the $3,260/oz area.
If gold prices continue to fall below the above level, a new downward trend towards the $2,975 area will begin.
If buyers defend the above channel support of $3,300/oz, a rebound to the static resistance of $3,370/oz will be inevitable. If gold prices continue to recover, the target will be $3,400/oz, followed by the historical high of $3,500/oz.
The market is currently in a state of sideways fluctuations. I hope Quaid's analysis can help all traders understand the trend of gold in depth.
Gold Market Outlook - Gold BearishGold is currently in a consolidation phase, trading within a range of $3,280 to $3,360. We are closely monitoring for a breakout in either direction.
Based on current technical analysis, there is a higher probability of a downside breakout below the support level of $3,280. If this support is breached, we may see the following downside targets:
Target 1: $3,270
Target 2: $3,260
Target 3: $3,250
Target 4: $3,240
Traders are advised to plan their positions accordingly, keeping risk management in focus.
Gold's counterattack? Today's market analysisGold has repeatedly tested the 3260-3270 area to gain support. Gold has formed multiple bottom structures in the short term, so the short-term adjustment of gold may end.
Gold has formed multiple bottom structures in the 1-hour, and the 1-hour moving average has also begun to gradually turn. If it can turn upward and form a golden cross, then the 1-hour bulls of gold will exert their strength again. Stimulated by risk aversion, gold in the U.S. market once again broke through and rose, and finally broke through Monday's high. Then the first-line suppression of gold near 3335 did not form effective resistance. When gold fell back in the Asian market, we first followed the trend and went long. Gold quickly bottomed out at 3320 first-line support in early trading and then rebounded quickly. Then gold should only be operated in the short term or go long on dips.
Operation ideas:
Short-term long: 3310-3315 long, stop loss 3300, target 3350-3370;
Short-term short: 3350-3360 short, stop loss 3365, target, 3315-3310;
Friends, don’t be afraid of missing the market, wait patiently for your own opportunity, the market will never neglect those who are prepared.
Is gold’s adjustment over? Can we go long?Gold has repeatedly tested the 3260-3270 area to gain support. The short-term gold trend has formed multiple bottom structures, so the short-term gold trend may be over. Currently, gold is mainly long around 3330.
Trading ideas: Buy gold near 3330, stop loss 3320, target 3360
GOLD bulls ready to break higherHere we are looking at the 240/4hr chart. I am seeing price make a push higher from a previously well respected support zone and a possible triangle pattern forming after pushing down from previous highs.
Currently we're waiting for bears to push the price down either to the bottom of the triangle pattern, or breaking out to the highs for entries higher.
Plan for bears is to sell back into the triangle and in current resistance.
Plan here for bulls is to look for entries at a better price breaking this pattern, or into the highs.
Gold is trying to break through the upward channelGold started the new week on a bad note, hitting a low of 3260 in the morning, followed by a small shock adjustment; then it began to rise sharply. As of press time, it has risen to around 3350 and tried to break through the upward resistance.
Although some of gold's safe-haven appeal has weakened, its overall forecast and price trend remain optimistic. Until we see clear lower highs, lower lows, and a solid trade agreement rather than more political bragging from the Trump administration, the possibility of gold setting new highs cannot be underestimated.
Surface calm hides potential risks
Although last week's market movements and today's early trading performance show that the market is calming down, any sense of security is fragile. Under the surface, key risks remain: trade tensions, recession concerns, and uncertainty about monetary policy are real. Ongoing trade negotiations remain a key factor. If the United States sticks to its position on tariffs or the negotiations break down, risk aversion may quickly pick up, boosting demand for gold again.
Quaid's analysis:
Based on last week's market situation, Quaid conducted an analysis of gold's trend this week over the weekend. As I predicted, gold is trying to break through and try a new high.
Gold has risen to around 3350, and 3365 is a key resistance level in the upward trend. If the gold price breaks through this position and can maintain horizontal development, it will continue to rise in a stable situation.
From the upside, the initial resistance level is $3365, followed by $3430. If the bullish momentum is restored, it may soon hit the historical high of $3500 again.
On the contrary, if the price fails to break through the 3365 resistance level, Quaid believes that it is necessary to pay attention to the key support at the 3285 position.
Gold Trading Plan: Liquidity Grabs, Pullback, and UptrendHello Ladies and Gentlemen!
Based on recent news and Trump’s turbulence, we are closely following macroeconomics, the ongoing tariff wars, and geopolitical events. Gold is showing signs of exhaustion after last week's pullback. While we see a recovery, we must remember that not everything we see can be trusted. However, based on our analysis of the current situation and an understanding of market execution and liquidity grabs, we expect a pullback that could confirm the uptrend — providing a potential opportunity to go long.
Here’s the plan:
1. Double check at the current liquidation level
2. Wait for a pullback around a key level below.
3. Confirm the continuation of the uptrend.
We must carefully monitor each market session and pay close attention to macroeconomic news releases, as the market may react sharply by grabbing liquidity. It will be interesting to see how far we can go from here with liquidity runs and whether additional pullbacks will occur. For now, we remain patient and wait for clear confirmation signals.
Share your ideas!
No need to hesitate, gold continues to be bullish
I just told you that you can go long near 3298. Gold once retreated to around 3275 during the European session.
I think if you want to go long, there is definitely a chance, and I have been emphasizing this.
I am still in a stable state, and I only suggest going long near 3290 during the US session.
As of now, gold has reached around 3330, which has reached my two target positions.
Since gold can stand at 3330, it will definitely continue to rise in the future.
At present, gold is a W-shaped structure, and it will definitely hit the top near 3360 in the future.
So, my suggestion here is still to go long. But maybe gold will not be given a position below 3300.
Therefore, if there is a subsequent retracement of gold, you can focus on entering the market near 3300-3310 and go long. The final target is still around 3360.
Gold short-term bullish trend remains unchanged
I don't want to say more nonsense, just give the signal directly, after all, everyone only looks at the results, don't you think so, dear trader?
Gold
Buy around 3298, stop loss 3278, target 3310-3318

Gold market, further decline is likelyOANDA:XAUUSD Continue to test the support level of 3270 points, looking for a breakthrough. Any easing of the Sino-US conflict may trigger a price drop. But things are not so simple.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement: China and the United States have not discussed or negotiated on the issue of tariffs.
Gold prices are under pressure before the tariff war and the release of US data.
International situation: Russia issued a statement on a truce; and Ukraine issued a statement: If Russia really wants to achieve peace, it must immediately cease fire. If the two sides formally sign a truce agreement, the safe-haven demand for gold may also be greatly reduced.
In the morning, gold prices tested last week's low of $3260, and the strengthening of the US dollar and the possible easing of Sino-US trade risks put gold prices under pressure.
Traders are waiting for the release of key US GDP and labor market data, which may affect the Fed's interest rate expectations. In this context, if macro statistics are weak and geopolitical risks remain, the correction in gold prices may be replaced by growth.
Another test of the support level may trigger a breakthrough. It is necessary to pay attention to the situation between China and the United States. Any easing of the situation will trigger a decline in gold.
Upward resistance: 3300, 3325
Downward support: 3265, 3245, 3230
The possibility of further decline in gold prices has been exhausted since the opening. Gold prices may strengthen to the above resistance levels. A false breakout of 3300/3325 may trigger a decline, which may bring gold prices closer to the support level of 3270.
JPMorgan Forecasts Strong 60-90% Growth for Gold Mining JPMorgan Forecasts Strong 60-90% Growth for Gold Mining Sector as Gold Prices Reach Record Highs
Meta Description:
JPMorgan predicts the global gold mining industry will grow by 60% to 90% thanks to record-breaking gold prices, increasing investment demand, and stable production costs. Where are the opportunities for investors?
JPMorgan Forecasts 60-90% Growth for the Gold Mining Industry
According to the latest outlook from leading investment bank JPMorgan, the global gold mining sector is facing an exceptional growth opportunity, expected to rise by 60% to 90% in the near future. This forecast comes amid historic highs in gold prices and a strong surge in gold investment demand.
Rising Gold Prices – The Key Driver for Mining Industry Growth
JPMorgan experts note that gold prices have been setting multiple new records in global markets throughout 2024. The main factors are concerns about inflation, geopolitical instability, and continued monetary easing by major central banks. These conditions have driven investors to seek gold as a safe-haven asset.
Advantages for Gold Mining Companies
JPMorgan believes that gold mining companies will be among the biggest beneficiaries of this uptrend. With production costs remaining stable, gold companies are projected to see significant profit increases—some may even raise dividends for shareholders.
Key factors supporting the gold mining sector include:
Strong increases in international gold prices.
Consistent physical gold demand from central banks.
Growing purchases by both retail and institutional investors
Well-controlled production and mining costs.
Investment Opportunities and Potential Risks
JPMorgan recommends that investors prioritize shares in large gold mining companies with low production costs and strong financial foundations to optimize returns during this gold boom.
However, JPMorgan also warns that the gold mining sector still faces several risks, such as:
High volatility in global gold OANDA:XAUUSD prices.
Rising mining costs if energy prices fluctuate.
Legal and political risks in major gold-producing countries.
Conclusion
With a remarkable growth outlook of 60% to 90% as forecasted by JPMorgan, the gold mining industry is becoming a hotspot for global investment inflows. Still, investors should carefully consider potential risks and select the right gold companies to ensure both safety and effectiveness for their investment portfolios.

Bullish sentiment in the market cools down
📊Comment analysis
After the Asian session gold gapped up and opened, it began to fall back quickly to around 3267. After a small rebound in the European session, it continued to retreat. It is currently maintained near 3290. It may continue to fall in the short term, and the support below is maintained near the previous low of 3265-3260 US dollars. This position will also determine the trend of the long and short positions in the later period. It is very likely to retreat again near this position in the evening and continue to make directional choices in the later period. Once the support is effective, the US session may usher in a rebound again, and the key suppression area above is maintained near the integer level of 3300. This position is also the high point of the rebound in the European session, and it will also be the key suppression position of the US session. The operation idea of the US session is very simple. Continue to maintain a certain fluctuation in this range. Once it breaks through, consider stopping loss and exiting.
🔷Technical side:
For the current gold, the 4-hour chart is fluctuating widely between 3330-3270, and is currently near $3295.
✔Operational suggestions, keep short-term trading:
US gold operation strategy:
If you try to go long at 3265-60 first, the target is around 3280-3290, and the loss is 3255. If you first pull back to 3295-00, go short with a light position, and the target is around 3270-3265, and the loss is 3205. In the short term, the long and short positions may continue to pierce, so you need to operate with caution!
💥Risk warning
Liquidity risk: The market may be bearish in early May, and price fluctuations may be amplified.
Policy black swan: Trump may suddenly change tariff policies or personnel changes at the Federal Reserve, causing violent market fluctuations.
Technical false breakthrough: There are a large number of stop-loss orders near $3350, so be wary of reversals after inducing longs.
Summary: This week, the gold market will be affected by geopolitics, the Fed's policies and the trend of the US dollar, and the fluctuation range is expected to be between $3260 and $3350. Investors need to pay close attention to key support and resistance levels and adjust their strategies flexibly.
Gold fluctuates at high levels, waiting for the adjustment to enGold remained under pressure during the Asian trading session and is currently trading below the $3,300 mark, with a daily decline of about 0.75%. The market sentiment on trade is generally optimistic, and trade tensions are expected to ease. However, the decline in gold consumption in Asian countries in the first quarter has become a key factor in suppressing the demand for gold, a traditional safe-haven asset.
According to market research, data released by the Asian National Gold Association on Monday showed that gold consumption in the first quarter of this year fell 5.96% year-on-year to 290.492 tons. Among them, the demand for gold jewelry fell sharply by 26.85% year-on-year to 134.531 tons, while the consumption of gold bars and gold coins increased by 29.81% year-on-year to 138.018 tons.
According to market research, US President Trump once again emphasized that trade negotiations are underway with Asian countries, and the market hopes for a quick easing of trade tensions. However, Trump's frequent changes in foreign remarks, coupled with continued concerns about a global economic recession, have maintained the safe-haven demand for gold.
Quaid's analysis:
From a technical perspective, the gold price needs to effectively fall below the $3265-3260 range in the short term before a larger correction downward can be confirmed. Once confirmed to fall below, the gold price may quickly fall to the 50% retracement level near $3225, further pointing to the $3200 mark. If $3200 is lost, it will suggest that gold may have peaked in the short term.
On the contrary, if the gold price stabilizes and returns to above $3300, it may face initial resistance in the 3330-3335 area. If it breaks through this area, the short-term rebound target will point to the 3365-3370 supply area.
Once this key pivot position is broken, the gold price is expected to challenge the $3400 mark again, and even further test the intermediate resistance of 3425-3430, and try to return to the historical high of $3500.
Quaid's view:
Although the market's concerns about trade have eased, weak gold consumption in Asian countries and the pressure of the dollar rebound are still there, which may cause gold prices to fluctuate and fall back from high levels. In the next few days, the core economic data of the United States will be the key to determining the next trend of gold. Quaid will pay special attention to changes in the Fed's policy expectations. Real-time analysis for you.
The current market situation, as Quaid analyzed, can only be done in short-term scalping transactions; but always seize opportunities accurately.

Gold prices fell at the beginning of this week
🌐Drivers
Gold prices fell slightly to $3,310 in early Asian trading on Monday, retreating from the record high set last week as signs of easing global trade tensions grew.
According to Reuters, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins revealed on Sunday that the Trump administration is in daily consultations with China on tariffs. Rollins also stressed that agreements with several other countries are "very close" to being finalized.
"The news suggesting a possible partial exemption from retaliatory tariffs further boosted market sentiment and caused gold prices to fall below the $3,300 mark," said Tang Yuxuan, a strategist at JPMorgan Private Bank.
📊Commentary Analysis
At the beginning of this week, gold prices were mainly sideways, without much news impact, trading around 3,300 points, and gradually falling back.
🔷Technical side:
For the current gold, the 1-hour chart is fluctuating widely between 3,300-3,270, and is currently at $3,276.
✔Operational suggestions, keep short-term trading:
Bearish strategy:
If the gold price rebounds to the range of 3320-3330 US dollars, you can try to short, with a target of 3280 US dollars and a stop loss of 3335 US dollars.

Gold fluctuates at high levels, waiting for adjustmentGold fell back after a cyclic rise in the morning, and the price lost today's starting point. The current position is near the starting point of Friday! If the Asian session cannot bottom out and rebound, then we must be careful of further declines to 3260 in the European session to test around 3230. This position will not be reached soon, but after the loss of the key position, the momentum below will gradually open up, so today the long position is at 3260.
This week's data reference: Wednesday's ADP employment report, Friday's non-agricultural data
Recent fundamental news is complicated, and the fluctuations in the past two weeks are relatively large compared to before. The fluctuations in a single day will basically exceed 100 US dollars, so we must pay attention to strict loss control in operations.
Intraday view: After a short-term retracement, the first pressure level: 3315-17 top and bottom conversion position Strong pressure focus: 3337-43
If it can't reach the support, it's still at 3260. If it breaks down, the US session will look for a position to fall back.
Gold bottom wide range, bullish trend remains unchanged
Investment success does not depend on how powerful and excellent your tools are, but on whether you can use your trading tools well. On the road to the dream of wealth, the most effective strategy is to focus and stick to a good trading system. Focus and persistence can produce incredible power. When you can really do this, you can create miracles that you can't believe in yourself.
The international gold price opened at $3,350/ounce last Friday and closed at $3,315/ounce. The K-line entity fell by about $35/ounce throughout the day, and the daily K-line closed with a medium-yin line with a long upper shadow. Last Friday, the gold price fluctuated widely and finally closed down. On the one hand, it was because the risk aversion sentiment eased slightly, resulting in profit-taking of long positions; on the other hand, it was due to the oversold rebound of the US dollar, which put pressure on gold bulls.
Fundamentally, gold reached a record high last week, and then fell slightly under the influence of Trump's easing trade remarks and the Federal Reserve. According to FactSet data, gold has still risen by about 41% in the past year, and the return rate so far this decade is 113%. As investors prepare for further geopolitical and macroeconomic shocks, gold continues to be the asset of choice for investors seeking protection. According to the latest data, US gold ETFs experienced inflows exceeding 95% of historical levels in two weeks, followed by a single-day outflow that also exceeded 95% of historical levels. This "big in and big out" pattern has occurred 9 times in history, and the first 8 times almost accurately predicted that gold would usher in a correction, and the worst performance was usually concentrated in the next 2 months.
Technically, the monthly chart of gold showed a strong upward trend, technical indicators continued to rise, and the long-term bullish trend; the weekly chart closed at a high level with a long upper shadow cross, and the technical indicators were blunt at high levels, and the medium-term cautious pursuit of highs; the daily chart was stagnant and pulled back from highs, and the technical indicators began to fall, and the short-term correction was expected to continue; the 4-hour chart fell into a shock pattern, and the technical indicators were neutral, and the short-term waited for a breakthrough in the shock range. Overall, the price of gold remains bullish in the long term, with the midline expected to adjust downwards and a volatile trend in the short term.
In terms of short-term operations during the day, focus on the long opportunities in the 3294 area below and defend on 3279. Focus on the short opportunities in the 3215 area on the top and defend on 3221. Each target will look at the 15-20 US dollars space.

GOLD Price Analysis: Key Insights for Next Week Trading DecisionAfter testing a fresh record high around the $3,500 zone, gold made a sharp U-turn, erasing much of its gains and dropping toward the $3,260 support zone.
This reversal came as the US Dollar found fresh strength, following US President Trump’s major backtracking on tariffs against China and the dismissal of Fed Chair Powell.
Markets have since stayed volatile, swinging between "risk-on" and "risk-off" sentiment.
As we head into next week, gold price action is at a critical decision point, and it is unclear whether buyers or sellers will take control.
In this video, I break down the key technical zones, share my trading plan, and discuss potential opportunities to help navigate the uncertainty ahead.

Gold Price Analysis April 28The D1 candle cluster forms a disputed area with a 100 price range from 3367 and 3267
The 3300 price range is having a price reaction. If the price breaks 3300 at the beginning of the European session, pay attention to the 3314 area to consider the price reaction of the European session for the SELL strategy around this price range. There is another area to pay attention to for the SELL strategy around 3343, breaking this area will reach 3367, the daily resistance zone.
The BUY strategy pays attention to around 3275 when this area is broken, only 2235 can be considered BUY. Absolutely do not block the ship when the price breaks 3275.
Gold double bottom 3262 formed, next week's ladder is bullish
Gold closed with an adjustment K-line on the weekly chart, and the downward rhythm slowed down at the end of Friday. Currently, gold stabilized at 3265, and formed an effective double bottom pattern with the decline and rebound on Wednesday. Can the market achieve an effective breakthrough based on the double bottom structure?
Trading at the beginning of the week continued the idea of oscillating bulls. Gold usually showed a strong upward trend during the Asian session, and the bullish momentum was mostly released before 10 o'clock. This week, gold continued to show a strong sideways or upward pattern before 10 o'clock. If there is no breakthrough during this period, it will turn into an oscillating downward rhythm before the European session. This rule is highly consistent with the recent gold decline cycle. The US market showed a regular trend of "opening weak, stabilizing and rising after 22 o'clock", and this fluctuation feature was verified from Wednesday to Friday.
Next week, focus on initial jobless claims, CPI and non-agricultural employment data. It is recommended to manage positions before the release of major data. The trading logic of the European and American markets continued at the beginning of the week. The reference support in the early trading session was 3300, and 3270/60 was used as the bottom of the range to arrange long orders. If it rises directly at the beginning of the week, the pressure level will focus on the 3380 line. The current long-term bullish pattern has not changed. The double bottom pattern formed on Friday provides support for the step-by-step rise. After an effective breakthrough, it can be expected to rise to the 3550 area.
